Trade In 1870.

The New York Tribune has been
summing up the gains Of tn last
year, and gives - . result that I've
are increasing in wealth and produo.
tive capacity ct . rate unparalleled
BY any other country, whether Of the
old or new world"
1t finds our population increased at
least ono million during 1870, but
one.fourth Of this increase il the
result Of immigration, leaving the
remaining three-fourths TO be &C.
counted for by the excess of births
over deaths.
Our agriculture was very produc-
tive, and its gains over 1869 in value
were very considerable. Tho gold
and silver returns of the mines were
over sixty millions, and in the same
period numerous new mines were
opened, but they will not in many
instances show notable results until
this present year.
A source Of general oongratuIation
is the approach Of our national cur.
rency to gold value; while in 1867 it
was twenty per cent. below, tits now
scarcely above ten per cent, and
there is no reason why during 1871
it should not reach the standard Of
coin.
A remarkable feature of the year
Just closed was the construction Of
over ten thousand miles Of railroad
in the United States, q . cost Of not
less than three hundred million Of
dollars. Our cities have also in.
creased tho number of their build
ings one hundred thousand, and It is
not Unfair to suppose tho country
outside Of the cities, has erected quito
as many.
In June 1869, the reported balance
of trade against us was seventy five
millions Of dollars, while in June,
1870, it was only little over twenty
Eve millions.
We accept these exhibits ~ an
evidence that the country has Ct
last fully started upon it, career Of
commercial prosperity. How greatly
NO wore inisrsd in trade, menufact.
ures and agriculture BY tho war Of
the rebellion We are already too apt
to forget, though six years ago Lee
still held Richmond, and the confed.
eracy was yet y stubborn, aggressive
fact.
It was not alone that the army
swallowed up 90 many Of the effective
laborers and artisans OF the country,
but that the war for q time almost
put . stop to emigration. We were
during those i've years Of strife, car
mage and material losses, going back
ward instead OF forward. The north
was robbed ofits active, producing
classes, and tho south not only lost
the services Of these, but its agricul.
ture, trade and manufactures came to
q dead stand still. Destruction BY
fire and sword aud waste swept over
it from end to end, 30 that it seemed
impossible that it could recover from
the effects Of it for scores of years
Not nearly halfa scorc however have
gone by, and the south is stronger ia

progress are showing themselves
