Psisr 90 1864 eammeree srf~cea The
UnIted States and Australia SCARCELY e.
listed in that year % amounted % bot
t.os 900. The fsilosiag year IL ssades-
~ increased to a. es7 600, aud fr1m that
time forward Ia. beea maintained at
rate that gives an average icr the twenty
five years ended June 30, 1876, Of g..
55l ,l0S per annum. For the last ten
years Of that period the average wss s.
402, 439, and far the last five years il was,
rs we have already stated, 90, 479,9 ss per
annum.
While these figures show steady in
cre,se they are utterly unsatisfactory
when compared with the magnitude Of
the lucrative commerce England has with
Australia, aud which IL now largely
transacted by means ot correspondence
rriei across our territory Is the short.
est route to reach her distant Pacific colo
mics. During tho five years ending with
1875 her commerce with Australia has
averaged $0S.38 psr capita per aunum Of
the population OF those colonies, while
our commerce with them for the same
period has amounted to an average Of
but g. "a per capita per annum. Eng
lands exports thither have been $42.26
per capita, while ours have been but $1.61
per capita; and her imports, $50.10 per
capita, while ours have been but $1.2e
psr capita.
With people similar in their habits
and wants to our own, who are now sus.
tanning and requiring SO large foreign
commerce, and with relation to whom w
occupy moro favorable position as to
practicability of access than England
does, it is evident We should have much
more important trade, and nothing but
the continuance of unwise legislation,
the want of adequate means of steam
communication or lack Of enterprise can
stand in the way Of an early and profit
able development of our commerce in
that quarter.
1t is notable fact that ninety-seven
per cent. OF our commerce last year with
Australia was carried on through only
three ports of the United States, New
York having flfty-six per cent, Boston
twenty -one per cent. end San Fiaaci SEQ
twenty per cent.
The proportion carried in American
vessels was fifty-two per cent. and in for
eign vessels forty-eight per Gently. 7.
