the amount Of our interchanges with the whole
western coast did not exceed 10000, O0Of., exactly
onethrd OF what they have now arrived at. What
we have therefore TO deal with here Is people who
are constantly increasing their producuveness. aud
whose progress will certainly have been aided by
the steam and sailing vessels Of the English, Cheans
