would otherwise only cost him one,
but, in addition, the very duties are sent
away, thus enormously enhancing the
drain of money from our fair commo
wealth. That this is very considerable
sum, single example will show. Last
month the customs duties amounted to
5000, 900 at the port of San Francisco, OF
at the rate of nearly $1l 100000 year
All this money is sent East, is taken out
OF the revenue OF trade in California, and
undoubtedly tends to make money very
scarce. Ii the duties were lower the
drain would be less, resulting both in ac'
tivity in business and in direct benefit
to the consumer. A big howl about
Free Trade will not change these facts.
