HU. L. WHITE.
President of the Senate, pro tempore.
Approved, March ,, 1888.


1t will thus be seen that, by the ap-
plicat'oa Of the veto, the Government
revenues were comparatively annihiIa-
ted from and after the 3Oth uIt. In
the first place, the remaining moiety OF
duty over 20 per cent. on all articles
paying a higher duty than 20 per cent.
on that day came off. Secondly, the
heavy class Of articles enumerated in
the 4th section Of the compromise act,
ceased to be subject to any duty what
ever on that day. And thirdly, the
great variety of articles enumerated in
section 5, are from and after the same
day, rendered free Of duty. While
these facts are unquestionably true, i
is even Doubtful how duties are to be
legally collected on articles not thu:
enumerated. The language ofthe Sc
section is ambiguous; "such dutie;
shall be laid" ''as may be necessary
&C., but no duties have been laid, by
virtue Of the obstruction Of the veto
And again "the duties required TO bt
paid" "shall be assessed" "under reg
ulations as are prescribed by law
But no law whatever has been prescri

Difference, if any,in favor Of consump-
ton.
We have carefully compiled these
statements from the most authentic re-
cords al command; but Notwithstanding
the utmost care, the data involve such a
wide range of facts, that conclusions re-
speeding the entire consumption and pro-
duction of the whole world, must neces-
sarily be taken with some allowance for
errors. As far as civilized nations are
concerned our estimates are easily OBJ
tanned with a close approximation to,truth;
but when we come to include the whole
race Of mankind in cotton statistics. we
can only arrange them in manner au-
thorized from analogy, borne oul in re.
ference TO the habits and trade of 9TH
er portions Of the world, more fully un-
J derstood.

five allow only one pound of cotton
TO each inhabitant of these populous
countries. the consumption would amount
10 274.554,132 pound of cotton or about
1.O34.95O bales. If we assume 100000
bales are now manufactured aud consul
med in these places, and they import to
all Europe 1915 bales--we have a
total Of their production and consumption
as follows:
Grown and consumed in
India and China, 100000 bales
Exported to all Europe, 1878 +"
Total, 952,175 bales
This amount taken from
the supposed capacity
of consumption Of l,034,95O bales
Still leaves a deficiency
of 283,775 bales
to be provided for, as civilization and
trade expand in the East. And if we
suppose, what is very likely to be the
regular course Of events, these immense.
ly popuIous countries will come to con.
sumo the same amount of cotton goods as
now used by the Turks-of two pounds
Of cotton to the head--the consumption
would then amount to the enormou;
quantity of 2,069, 200 bales. As far a.
British conquest, trade and civilization
are extended in India and China, so much
the more is the circumstance likely t.
give pe.manency TO the growth of cot
ton in America. All increase of Euro
pean population, in all the colonies at
tached to their respective powers, ha
the same tendency. Every Englishman'
child or other European offspring, borl
in distant colonies, such as Canada, Aus
trGlia, or in Dutch, French, or other &C
lonies, of civilized nations, adds from
to IL pounds CONSUMPTION of raw cotto

This would seem to give an excess of
production to consumption Cor the whole
world, of about 100000 bales. The
consumption Of India and China is per
haps too large by about one-half or $780,
900 bales. A large portion of their pre-
sent consumption, being included in their
imports Of cotton goods, from cotton ex-
ported, and then returned to them in this
shape, that were formerly made in the
country. If we therefore curtail the es-
innate Of consumption in India and China
to 100000 bales, the whole consumption
will then stand thus; which is not, pro-
badly, far from the correct estimate OF
the present actual consumption of cotton
in the world:
