views OF the Report, allusion was made in
the Presidents Message. The Exports Of the

ninety-two millions of doflars-of which sixtv-
six millions were of domestic productions
The Imports exceeded ninety-two millions.

elghty-one millions. IS The foregoing amount
OF exports exceeds, by about seventeen mil
mons oil dollars, the average amount for the
three years preceding Tho imports oxoeed
oy about eleven millions the same average.
Whilst this large excess of imports during The
past arises chiefly from the produce of the soil.
1t is satisfactory to know, that domestic mann.
features have lent their contribution. Of ~.
latter, there have been exported 10 the value
Of between five and six millions of dollars
This is an excess of eight hundred thousand
dollars over those exported in 1924, and more
than two millions of dollars over those export
ed IN 1928. The progressive increase in this
branch OF industry is naturally aacribable to

remarks, it is not intended to close them by
recommending any general revision OF the
tariff, as fixed by the act Of Congress Of the
22d May, 1924. But it is deemed proper,
under cover of them, respectfully to submit
the expedency of effectively increasing the
existing duties upon all manufactures Of cot
ton, Of a fine quality" And "Concurreptly
with this recommendation for an augmentation
of duties on all cotton manufactures of fine
quality, it is deemed advisable to submit also
the expediency of lowering, to small! extent.
the duties at present existing upon teas, upon
coffee, and upon cocoa" TCeatinei.
