con MERCIAL sHRINKAGE AND CONGRESS
slONAL POLICY.

The statistics Of the exports and imports of
New York for the past three or four years are
by no means in keeping with the fanciful
grandeur of the picture in which some Jour
nalists of that city are fond of representing its
marvellous growth as the predestined center
of the worlds commerce. The total imports
for the ten months ending the 30th of April
1866, were, in round numbers, 1852, 900, 000
For the same period to the same date in 1867,
they were 1927, 0O0, geo. And for the same
period to the same date in the present year,
they We're $196 100000. These figures reveal
an annual falling off in imports of about ten
per cent. The decline in the export trade is
quite as marked. For example, for the ten
months up to the 30th Of April 1866, the ex-
ports Of New York, including specie, were
$4,000 600; for the ten months ending the
30th of April, 1867, they were, including
specie, S177, 600 600; and for the ten months
up to the same date in 1868, including specie.
S19G 1000 600. The excess of the total for the
last named period over that oil the preceding, is
accounted for by vast increase in the export
Of specie, which, from twenty-five millions
in 1867, jumped up to forty millions in 1868.
Such an item, according to financial reckon
ing, must be regarded not as a credit, but as
deficit, in The survey of a foreign commerce.
But even crediting New York with its exports
of specie, we find that the aggregate of i'm
ports and exports, that is to say the whole
amount Of commercial transactions with for
eign countries, after an annual decline as in
dictated, had subsidized in 1868 for the period
named to $500, 00s, 600, against 1852, 600, 600.
for a corresponding series Of months in 1866.
This exhibits a general shrinkage of the for
eign commerce Of the city of about twenty
per cent within the past three years. If the
year 1865 is included Ia the comparison, the
disparity appears still greater.
1t would be inviiiogs, however, to refer
to these unfavorable Indications as pc
cuiia1ly applicable to the commercial situa-
ton q New York. They are measure of the
degree IN which the foreign commerce Of the
United States at large has decreased, and con-
TIMES to decrease. And this has occurred since
the close of the war. 1t has occurred while |
all financial and commercial questions were |
under the absolute control ofthe congressional |
majority representing the dominant party in |
the country. Nor do the signs Of domestic |
speak more havorably for the mate 1
nal prosperity Of the country, than those Of /
loreign commerce. On both hands are 1

Distinction and decadence of trade and
industry. Whatever the cause, it has
acted as a universal blight And what
else can be the cause but the policy of
those legislators at Washington who have
possessed, and have used without hesitation
or stint, complete power over the issues of
both peace and war? Such results in a coun-
try where all peaceful industries and enter
prises were eager to revive, and expand, and
swell material prosperity by developing
every resource of wealth, are unprecedented
in history. Nothing but a combination Of
unexampled folly and wickedness could have
produced them. And yet the legislators
which have brought about this state of things
claim new lease of power, and the people
are called upon to ratify the demand under
penalty of having civil war added to the curse
of policy which tends directly to the bank
ruptcy and the commercial ruin of the coun-
try

II will be cheering TO the friends Of female
clubs to learn that Mrs. Cady Stanton, who at
first was understood to froWn upon the new S0rO-
sis, now warmly commends it, in the Revolution,
for the imitation of the ladies all the country
through. Touching the exclusion of males from
SoTosis, she says:
" 1t was decided to exclude gentlemen not be-
cause-their society was not most desirable and
would add brilancy TO the club, but from fear
lest the natural reverence of woman for man
might embarrass her in beginning TO reason aud
discuss; lest she should be awed to silence by
their superior presence. II was not because they
love man less, but their own improvement more"
Reason cOgent and ample; though we wouldn't
really like to undertake the little job OF "awing
TO silence" either of the able addresses of the

~ See Supplement-.

During the absence of the permanent chair
man of the finance committee of the Board OF
Aldermen, that position is ably filed by Mr..
Burbank. This gentleman, by his sagacity,
experience and tact, is peculiarly fitted for the
duties of the place which he now occupies,
and we do not see why he should notretain it,
at least as long as the present organization of
the Council is retained. We presume that the
members of the committee would be glad to
have the services of Mr. Burbank as chairman,
and there can be no doubt of their power to
control the point. The custom, we believe,
has been for the president of the upper
board to designate the chairman as well as the
members of the committees; whilst in the
lower board, the two salaried chairmen are
chosen by ballot. The appointment of COM
mittees is, usually, left to the presiding officer
of deiberative body-but this is a mere
courtesy, as the members of the body can, at
any time, resume control of this point. In the
same way, and on the same principle, the
members of a committee have the right to
designate their own chairman if they choose
to do so. In the case of the finance com
mittee of the upper board, the present would
be peculiarly opportune moment for the ex-
ercise of that right.
