HE LESSON OF IMPORTS AND EX.
FORTS.

The acting chief OF the bureau of Statistics
Mr.. Nimmo, has prepared a report with
tabulated exhibits, showing the imports and
exports of the United States at intervals of
five years from 1868 to 1873. The report
will be accepted as the highest authority,
and is remarkable as exhibiting the decline
of imports and the advance of exports for
the period named. During the previous
decade, that is to say between 1868 and 1873,
the net imports exceeded our exports in va
rious years from $39, OOO, 900, that being the
minimum of excess, to $780,, 000,0 900 as the
maximum. After the panic of 1873 an era
of enforced economy set in. We increased
gradually our exports and reduced our inn
ports until in 1876 the excess of exports
over imports was $40, 643, 0S1. In 1877 this
excess was $751;, l52,O94, and in the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1873. the excess of our ex-
ports over imports rose to 1881, 1868 As
illustrating the steady increase in our ex-
ports between 1868 and 1878 Mr.. Nimmo
gives table of comparison, comprising a
dozen leading commodities, representing 81
per cent. of the total increase In the exports
OF all merchandise during the decade. The
tabulated statement is as follows:
