Captain Fuamcrest turned quickly on his heel after giving thin order In the sharp, decisive tone habitual to senfnring men, and continued to pace the Tjuartcr deck of the Avenger with regular tread. With hands bchlmOilm and eye* steadily fixed on the . oaken planks which upheld lilrn, he'rfld not look like a iiiun on'whose mind was pressing the weight of a great responsibility—a re¬ sponsibility that'ere the mil sunk to rest beneath the waters might necessitate the shedding of human blood. For five minutes he paced .the deck In silence, and then, turn¬ ing with a show of impatience and speaking in IT tpne that betrayal Irritation, If not anger, ho ngiiln said, "Avast heaving." The man to whom the command was nd dressed, a flue, branny fellow, with a clear eye and honest luce—in (act, the very model of a first-class sailor—drew In his hoiij from over the bulwaiks and replies: "I can not." "How long have you been In the Ameri¬ can navy, my man?" usked the captain in not unkind tones. "Ten years, sir," was the reply. "Ami li) [|ils your nr" °vp°rl^ltwf-jhn- water?" "Yes, sir." "Very well; avast heaving as soon as it is convenient." "Aye, aye, sir," replied the man, hitching up his trousers respectfully. The captain walked slowly aft, and ad¬ dressed the man at the wheel—"Old Tom," a grizzled sen dog, who had sailed the Wabash under Secretary Thompson, and seen service off the rock-bound coast ofLemonr, when a hostile constabulary endeavored to attach a canal bunt. "How does she head?" asked the captain, looking into the binnacle. "West by south," replied Old Tom, giving the wheel a tm i) and.gliincitiji alott to see that thc-topBiiils were'drawing, "I think we shall have a capful of wind fioni the north to-night," ho ndded. "Yon cloud has a wicked look;" "Very well," said the captain'. "I will tell the cook to lash the beefsteak to the gallery and make last the toothpicks in case nnytlilng-should-hiippen.1'—------------------ .'•Reflect on what you nro doing;" and Lieutenant Alltniit's vnlco trembled aa ho spoko, "You are at our mercy.

' "My God!" snld the plrato; "are you. then, devoid of nil humanity f" "Yes," replied the lieutenant; "no quarter will lie given If the battle Is bcgifn." The plrato looked into the port-holes of the Avenger nnd saw the muzzles of the "documents irownlng at him. . "I.i this roport tlio usual length?" he asked. "Yos." "And you have roally got ono hundred cpplos aboard?" "Yes." • "Then I surrender. A brave defence (> one thing, but suicide Is another." FOKEIGN MARKETS FOR OUB MAN¬ UFACTURES. The custom of lequlring our consuls abioad tOimakc annual reports to the State Department respecting the condition of trade of the country in which they may be located is a most scnsiblo one out of which ought to come substantial benefit to our people. Many of these reports are both Interesting and Instructive. Their chkf value, how¬ ever, lies In the Information they convey to the manufacturers respecting lorelgn mar¬ kets, peculiailties of trade and wants of dlf- feient couutrloH and the progress made by these countries In vailous Industries and the possibilities of tnelr further develepnient. Whether our manufacturers are now able to avail lliemsehes of all this help is not so cer¬ tain. But It Is certain that their goods by this time would have entered largely into competition abroad with those of foreign manufacture if the right course had been pursued. The mistake made Is that maun facturers here have all along committed themselves to too narrow a policy.__They overlook'the fact that the world is a muoh Toronto Yacht Club the undersigned were appointed a committee to ci mmunlcnte with ■yacht clubs as to the proprletwof attempting to form a lake yacht racing asaotilatlon, and request suggestion* cninVriiing It.

The Avenger Is cleaving tho water In gallant style, the white foam curling from her bow ns she comes In stays and stands away on tlio starboard tack. The quartor deck is deserted save by Lieutenant Alltatiry whose watch it Is. Tho captain has gone be¬ low, and the steady, strident snore that Is wafted upward tells that be Ib asleep. Sud¬ denly one of the lookouts comes aft and toucheB his cap to the lieutenant. "There's a sail on the port bow, sir," he says Lleuienai t Alltaut takes his glass and looks In the direction indicated. "U'b tho pirate," he said speaking calmly, ns do all naval officers—In books. "Send n man below to put a clothes pin on the onp- taln's nose; and, while you are there, bring up my cutlass nnd a piece of pie," Tin man disappeared. In ihe meantime preparations had been mude for the approaching conflict. The men were stationed behind the bulwarks and their face* wore a determined look. Nearer and neaier drew ihe Avenger to her prey, until at last Blie hfy alongside the dreaded oyster pliate of Chesapouke Bay. Not n sign of life was visible on the craft. From (lie ml/zenm.ist a week's washing flapped dls mallylu the night wind. Lieutenant Alltaut reached over the Avenger's side and grasped nahjit, tlieiebv being enabled to hold his vessel steady. Tho mdn witnessed this ma- ncelnor in silent admiration. Brilliant sea- muiikhip always commands icspect. "Miip alloy !" called the lieutenant. "A noise was heard aboard the craft, and an Instant Inter Black Mike, the plrato, ap¬ peared on deck.

A more or less continuous demand may be creuted for their goods if they have foreign as uoil as domestic markets, while 11 confined entirely to their own country the tendency Is to produce more than can be consumed, resulting at regular Intervals In stagnation in trade and loss ot interest on capital. The policy of protection Is to blame for this to n great extent. So long us the country readily consumed all that was pro dnceil oor manufacturers prospered nnd jnade big profits. But this soon had the ef¬ fect ot increasing their numbers until now they crowd one another and would be glad if only oppoi tunlty ollered for "disposing of their goods, abroad. The least effort seems to produce h surplus. In spite of all this and of the udvuhced state of our mnnulacturcs It is curious.to nolo how tenaciously they hold on to the worn out policy of protection. These industries, tlipugh at least twenty-live years old, still claim to he Infants, and arc continually crjlngqut for protection p.ip. If after all tlmt'IiasTjeen doWto-lostertllelr development, they still remain Infantile, •whon Jsjtexpected that they will reach manhood? ItTsniltogetlier probable that they have been nursed too much for their own good as w ell iib that ot the people. They would, without doubt, have been in a much better condition to-day hnd they been stripped Some time since of protection and made to tight their way in competition with tlio manufacturers ol other commies There are yet a fewcoilntiies In the world beside the United States; there are millions of civilized people who so far as their per- sonal wafits are'concerned do not feel the need for the existence of this country, for they are neither obliged to buj our grain for food, nor our cotton lor clothing. As re¬ gards cereals, other countries are rapidly pushing against ub in foreign markets. This may indeed seem strange to many here who entertain tho belief that Europe must have our broadstuffs or starve, but It is neverthe¬ less a fact. The love of ono's country is most praiseworthy, but the extravagant' Idea wbi.ch some people hero hold respecting bur controlling position In the economy of the world's" affairs is a lltllo nbsurd. This, too. Is a thing that hits resulted n very great deal from our protection policy. Our industries nrc many and great, and our people have shown activity within our own borders. Foi that very reason our vision has been nar¬ rowed so that we lwvo been unable to see that there exists a wide woild'ot which we are only n part. Our manulaetiireis might peruse with profit to themselvesourconsuls' reports, it might servo to enlighten them in many ways; to bionden their views on malters of Importance to them In their busi¬ ness. They might leo that while they have been keeping foreign competition out, they have also been restricting the sale of their own goods and cilppllugtiielr own efforts.— Maritime Jieyuler PROPOSED YACHTING ASSOCIATION.
