For aomo five or six years prior to the
"craslr of 1857, our imports and tho rev.
enue from customa were about double the
amount Of what they were under the tariff
act Of 1872 but so far was this, in the
view Of some Of our siatesmeD, from being
favorable 'sign OF the times" that they
looked for such an event as actually oc.
curred. Two or three yeara before, Mr..
Seward, then in the Senate, predicted the
revulsion of 1857, fixing the time Of it's
occurrence in tho very year in which il
took place. ln this, however, he exhibited
no extraordinary sagaoity. II was the nat.
ural and necessary effect of the cause
which existed ut the time Of the prediction.

The motioes which impcl the uttcranco OF

on an average, each iuhabitant of Prussia
used seoen cents worth of British goods
annually; each Russian fifteen cents worth;
each Dane sepentoen cents worth; each
Frenchman t,centy cent? worth; whilst each
