some unknown man, and rep ,rted such in tho

us with nearly twothirds of the rags annually i'm
ported into the United States from all countries.
Ihe first fact is susceptible OF an easy explanation.
This explanation is fOuEd in the character Of our
Institutions in the genius of our government, in the
general diffusion Of knowledge among the masses OF
our people, in our cheap literature, in the number of
our authors orators and statesmen 1t is also to be
traced in the fact that we publish moreEeadable
books. periodicals and public journals than all other
nations combiued, and are cOnseq uently more
abundantly supplied with the raw materials of
every kind Of science and art and of all social i'm
proyeMent"
Various causes may be given in explanation Of the
second fact. It may be because the chief primary
raw mste,ial OF paper hemp and flax. are among the
most abundant Latura productions of the different
States OF Italy, and the high price which Italian
rags always command fayors the suppostion; or, it
may be, that in in point of fact, We are
indebted to Turkey and Greece for large portion of
our in ports of this article through the ports of
Trieste, Genoa, Naples, &c. And who has not heard
of the extrayagant manufacture of the raw materia
of paper in these two countries eff sudden
tear, says late English writer. "or stitch giving
way suddenly unfold this garment, (his cotton pet
ticoat) Greek, hurrying on will leave flag near
ly quarter Of mile long nuttering behind him.
Nor is the use OF cotton confined to the person. his
be- blankets, furniture his covering by day and by
night is of the same material" But perhaps the
true explanation is found in the history and charac
ter OF the exporting cOuntIies for their statistical
returns show that they advance in the arts of civil
bzaton and social progress-as they acquire re-
vve taste for letters and unfetter the facultes of
the human mind, their expectation of rags dimi
nisbes in ratio proporti0nate to the increase of
sion of knowledge. Where freedom of speech and
Of the press are recognized among the inalienable
rights OF the citizen, rags are unknown article
Of foreign commerce.

Rag and Paper Consumption or the United
States.

States
CURIOUS STATISTICAL FACTS-ITALY THE GREATEST
RAG COLLECTOR AND THE UNITED STATES THE
GREATEST PAPER CONSUMERS OF THE WORLD
FIGURES THAT DON'T LIE--UNCLE SANS CLAIMS
nc UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE.
The Erening Post of the 21st inst. published
paragraph on rags, which contains some curious
and interesting statistics 1t appears that we i'm
ported In 1853 from all countries 227G6,O 900 lbs,
of which we received from England 2666,Oo5 lbs.,
and from Italy about one-ffth of the whole. The
total importation, as given in the Post corresponds
with the official returns for 1858 but there is obvi
ousy some mistake in the ratio Of importation from
Italy relatively to that from all other countries
which, as the subject is unquesonably an interest
ing and novel one not often entering into statsti-
cal investigations, we will endeavor very briefly to
reconcile with such statistics on the rags and paper
trade OF the United States, Great Britain and
France, as are accessible at the moment
The following tabular statement exhibits the ag
gregate quantities. values, and prices per pound of
rags imported into the United States from all coun
tries, distinguishing in separate column the guam
titles received from Italy during period Of ten
consecutive years, from 1916 TO 1856 =

France turns into paper annually about 235 200 900
lbs. Of rags, producing about l56, 900 lbs Of
paper. In the United States there are $50 paper
l. iIls which work up, each year, about 405 100000

From this statement IL appears that the United
States consumes 81 800 900 lbs. Of rags, and manu-
factures II 200 900 lbs. OF paper less than Great
fri,ain and France combined, while the quantity Of
the former is more than double that assigned to the
combined population of the two latter. The guam.
tity Of paper imported in Great Britain and France
and added to the stock for consumption might vary
slightly, but not materially the above results.
The preceding statement, however, omts the
quantities Annually imported and exported by each
OF the countries respectively, items without which
calculation as to consumption can be accurately
made.
The importation Of paper Of all kinds into France,
in 1903, old not exceed 337 ,l0i lbs, while the ex-
ports amounted TO ~ 053 667 lbs. This gives an ex
Cess Of exports over imports to be supplied from the
stock OF domestic manufacture, of iG,7l6553 lbs.
Deduct this from 1856 800 900 lbs, the quantity
manufactured, and we have left for consumption
tWOcJYaat lD-A, vi 5.oJ ios. PT c0puu VI tue pOpu
iaton.
During the same year there was imported into
England according to the Report on Trade and
Navigation, g0g, $50 lbs OF paper. The report gives
this quantity Tor the last six months Of the year
orly-assuming that the importation during the
first six mouths was equal TO that for the last a.
above given, ana the total importation would reach
say 100000 lbs. rhe quantity exported, we have
seen was ID 296s74 tbs leaving OF exports
imports, of l3,696s74 lbs 10 be deducted from
the quantity retained for consumption and reducing
the figures already given in the column under that
head to l5l 26l lbs, as the actual consumption
in Great Britain during the year. or $40 lbs per
capita Of the population.
The United States official returns give the values
but not the quantities Of paper imported and ex-
ported; but as the imports usually exceed the ex-
ports, the quantity consumed Is seldom II ever less
than the quantity manufactured.
We have then for annual consumption in The
United states $40 0000 600 lbs-consumption per ca.
pifd 1880 lbs.
Annual consumption in Great Britain and France
combined, 29l, ,322 7Os lbs.-consumption PR eapitq
455 lbs.
Thus, II appears first, that the consumption Of "a.

tiou ia over 100 per cent more thau in England and
Irsfce combined and second, tha' Italy supplies
