Virginia exporting nearly four times much New
York and South Carolina nearly twice as much as New
York and Pennsylvania together; and five times
much all the New England States united
The same relative proportion OF imports is preserved
until the adoption OF the Federal Constitution when we
find them to be in the year l79i as follows
