The value OF the importaons into this port for l644 10
little more than seventyn I've millions Of dollars We
have repeatedly estimated the mporations at
but the official place nearly hundred thou
sand dollars This importation produces gross
revenue Of than twenty-five millions Of dollars.
The gross from the importatons into this port
and Boston for the year ending Dec ST. 1884, amounts to
$27 966 $780, The duties the imports into this dis
trict average nearly hiryhrec and third per cent
the total value dutiable and not dutiable. Making the
estimate for Boston, find the value Of the impora
tous into tina, port for the year to be about OO
which, added the value Of the imports into this port
gives total for the two ports Of 9aO The imports
into Philadelphia for the year will not fall shoIt Of
$1,000 000-makng the value Of the importat0ns into
into New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, for the year
rising Of 500 OOO We induced think that the
value Of the total impoaons into the country for the
calendar year 1884, w be about OOO and that
the exports will fall short Of that amount about ten
millions OF dollars.

The receipts will reduce this amount that the bal
ance against win not reach than fve millions Of
dollars. Our foreign trade the past year has been any
thing but favorable any interest of this country other
wise than filling Treasury, and enabling Government
pay of part of the debt 1t has not however, enailed
evils upon which cannot be eradcated by reducing
the operations this Il would for the interest
ofthose engaged in the importation Of foreign manutsc
lures would they look particularly to the profits of
their business than to the extent OF it. The mania for
doing extensive business too high, and until
subsidies there will be regularity in foreign trade,
or any limit to the importations.s
