Total imports $685. 1893 s27s, se46 s24s 7lSo45
1t will be seen that our importations were
the highest in 1866, and the balance of trade
was heavily against us-the imports being
calculated on gold standard. Our i'm
ports have fallen off about thirty millions
of dollars for the year ending June 80,
1868, as compared with 1867, and about
sixty millions as compared with 1865. In
the last six months we have exported about
forty millions in specie; but the trade must
really be balanced by the actual e1porta-
zion of agricultural and manufacturing pro-
ducts, and this must be done in the remain
ing eleven months of the fiscal year, if we
hope to place the nation on fair business
footing.
In truth, there is only one short and
simple road to this desirable end; and that
road lies through the Southern States Sc
cure peace to the country, restore conf
dence to capitalists, enable the Southern
States to export their two hundred millions
of dollars worth of produce, and the bal
ance Of trade will be restored and the eoun-
try become again self-sustaining and self
