Our Exports and Imports.

WASHINGTON, August S1.-The following
report from the Chief of the Bureau OF Sta
1istjcs is interesting as showing the present
condition OF the commerce OF the country.
From il VIII he seen that the value OF our
exports is largely in excess OF our imports,
aud that the balance OF trade is In our Ia
yor. The following figures are particularly
significant:
The total foreign commerce OF the United
States-imports and eXports-durinS the
wear ending June 80, 1878, was larger than
during any wear prior to 1878. The exports
OF domestic merchandise from the United
States during the year ending June ~, 1919,
were. however, larger than during any pre-
yiouy wear in the history OF the country.
From the wear 1868 to 1878 the net imports
of merchandise into the [ nited States largely
exceeded the value OF the exports OF domes-
tic merchandise from the United States,
the excess Ct imports ranging from
SS9,000,00O 20 s1S2,00o,Q00. During the
wears ending June 80, 1876, 1871.
and 1873. however, the exports OF
domestic merchandise from the United
States greatly exceeded the net imports OF
merchandise into the United States, the eX-
cess OF exports increasing rapidly from year
to year. Our imports OF merchandise nave
fallen off each year since the year ending
june Ou, lSiu tHC .SC.ti VI ioA rSos 'hs
1ortation. Our exports OF domestic mer-
chandlse, on the other hand, have greatly
increased since 1868. From these tables 1t
appears that the total value OF exports OF
domestic merchandise from the United
States increased from S269,3S9.000 in 1868
to SGSO, 1853, 79S in lS7S-an increase OF SILL
800, 29S, or 1913 per cent
The report says: g desire especially TO
call your attention to the very rapid in
crease in the exports Of agricultural imple-
ments, breadstutfs, iron and manufactures
OF iron; manufactures OF cotton, leather
and manufactures Of leather, coal oil and
petroleum, and OF provisions. The Increase
in the value OF exports OF certain OF these
articles is the more remarkable from the fact
that their market price has considerably
fallen during the last ten years. me
net imports OF merchandise into the United
States during the year ending June 80,
1873, amounted to 1924 $3.50. 727, and during
the year endin" June 81, 1878, to only S422,-
S96,S34, showing a decrease in value OF
S201, 192, 1893, or 81 per cent. de-
sire especially to call your attention to the
great decrease in the imports OF manufac-
lures OF cotton, flax. and silk, OF wool and
manufactures of wool, and OF iron and
steel and manufactures thereof. The fall
ing off in the imports OF railroad bars from
SO, ,702 in 1878 to $3.50 in 1878 conSti-
tute the largest and most remarkable de-
crease exhibited in the table. "-Co1TeSpon-

Congressional Labor Committee.

NEW YORK, August 2S.-The Congress
sional Labor Committee to-day heard three
witnesses. c. w. Elliott, formerly an i'm
porter of Boston, now an agriculturalist in
Nebraska, said machinery and steam had
produced more than the world could con-
sumo. It's use had drawn into the cities
more people than ought to be there, and
only twelve per cent. were engaged in till
ing the soil. Machinery had cheapened the
labor of the working classes, and he recon-
mended that it should be limited in the
number OF hours that 1t is employed.
John Roach, the ship builder, had watch
ed the progress OF machinery and found
that the workingman had been benefited.
Cyrus Busting, president OF the New Or
leans Chamber Of Commerce, did not be-
Ieve we were producing too much, or that
the condition OF the country was as bad az
described. Many OF the unemployed work
ingmen had been floating about since the
war, their places having been occupied and
their work done by machinery. He favored
the Improvement of Internal water naviga-
ton, and specie payment to give confidence
in the Government.
The committee will hold its next session
in Pittsburgh; then go to Chicago.
