These figures afford striking commentary
upon the course pursued by Great Britain to-
wards the United States during the Rebellion.
In 1860, the year before the commencement of
hostilities the tonnage of British vessels en-
gagged in the direct trade between the two coun-
tries was but 945,66S tons, while that of the
American vessels was 2,245, 234 tons. large in
crease on any previous year, and more than
double the former. The year 1861 witnessed an
increase of about ten per cent. in the British
tonnage, and q decrease of about the same pro-
portions in the American tonnage. In 1869 the
British tonnage fell off considerably, below even
that of $780, but the decrease tn the American
tonnage was nearly one-fourth. In 1865, the
last year of the war; the British tonnage, 1t will
be seen, had increased to 1881, $50 tons, while
the American tonnage had decreased to psltry
figure, 4S4, ,098 tons. Since the close of the war,
however, there has been a steady increase in the
tonnage of both nationalities, although In 1866
that of Great Britain was about three times as
great as that of the United States during the
same year, and almost equal to that of the latter
in 1860. 1t will be seen that although in the
years 1862 -65 there was large falling-of in
the aggregate tonnage of the direct trade be-
tween the two countries the figures for 1868
show that even then the loss had been almost
made up.
