By this statement the excess of exports,
and the balance in our favor, shows as
1884, ,069, ,97O-s result highly encouraging
--1ere II correct. But, for a critical state
ment of the case, several importa Mt facts
must be brought into account.
In this, as in all official reports, the i'm
ports are stated in gold UGlve, the exports
in currency. OF course, these should be
equalized.
In a note on page 2T1 of Report on Fl
nance for 1863, We find that in the ac-
| count of 1872 there was an error of
Sl6l, OH, ,9O5 in domestic exports; $780,
900 in foreign goods exported, $l6, ,42s,-
362 in imports, made "by taking the ac-
tual exports and imports of the like quar-
tiers of the previous fiscal year as a MINI
nam estimate for the last two quarters
Of the fiscal year ls6o-sl, of transactions
which continued under the American flag,
but which were not reported to the Treas
ury Department in regular quarterly re-
turns"
This might be called an estimate of
Confederate commerce, of no possible use
to us, but included in our estimates, and
its correction reduces the exports of 1861
to S243, ,9TI,277. With the correct exports
and imports for the same years, taken
from Finance Report for 1865, and the
exports reduced to gold value, the imports
eSeeed the exports sls9 6l7,7 767, differ
enee of s52O,es7, ,737 from the table in the
Revenue Commission Report.
But this is not all. 1t is well known
that foreign goods are invoieed for duty at
the cost in the country from whence they
came, and that frauds in invoices are fre-
quent. The Commission Report, page As
speaks of seeing tive invoices from one
of the most respectable houses of one of
the chief cities of Europe, one of which,
sworn to falsely for the payment of duties,
was nearly forty per eeRt. less than the
other, which was for the private use ofthe
importer" :" and they estimate the frauds
on the Government in the New York Gus
tom House at from 81, ,OQe 600 to S25, ,oOO,-
600, yearly.
Steel isa striking instance. Intwo years,
lSe3-64, imports Of 35,o73, ,36s pounds
were invoiced for duty at an average of
As cents per pound, two-thirds of it at
Il cents per pound, or less than TIE cost of
the iron. At the same time, 2l,l6s, 600
pounds of American steel, of equal quality,
and selling at equal price, paid revenue
tax on an average valuation of 2lI cents
per pound
These frauds, and this mode of valua-
tion, make our real imports much larger. |
We may safely add sac, 900, 600 per year.
or S2sO,OOn,OOo for the seven years from
1859 to 1865.
In 1860 we owed in Europe (see For
eign and Domestic Commerce, 1863, page
~, Treasury Report $500. 900, 600 of State |
railroad and other securities, the interest |
on which in coin would be 1000, 900 |
yearly. The same report estimates the
money spent by travellers abroad at S.
o00, 900 yearly, much increased since, even |
reckoned at $40, 100000. But call it half |
that sum, and our yearly interest due
abroad and travelling expenses may be
stated thus:

The President has joined issue with the
Union party, the loyal masses of the
North, upon two points which stand out
clear, sharp and distinct: his and their
ideas of treason; his and their ideas of
loyalty. He does not believe Davis and
his co-adiutors TO be traitors; he does be-
lieve that those who oppose the immedi-
ate admission Of representatives from
South Carulina and Louisiana, are double
dyed traitors. He believes that Louis
