Is about equal. From The Islands to the United
states exports were sent IN 1873 to the value OF
SI50,000, while the imports rom the same country
amounted to S7s5Ooo. The treaty proposes to
admit OF American goods value equal to what
is exported TO the United States. The trade be-
tween the two countries will be augmented by the
passage or the treaty. In 1861 we derived three
Iourths oil our imports from the United States. Now
We do not get one-nalf from the same source. Most
oi our foreign goods come from England and Ger
