OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.

In commenting on the magnitude of
our foreign commerce an able writer
for en- Eastern paper says that the sta
tistics OF exports and imports for the
eleven months ending August 81, show
gratifying increase in the commerce
of the country, and a still more graft
flying promise for the future. The in
crease IN the total of our exports and
imports is about Al per cent, or nearly
twice the average increase Of previous
years. The greater share of this in
crease is i'll the matter of exports, which
is over 81 per cent, or two and half
times the average annual increase for
twenty years back. The balance Of
trade in our favor for eleven months 10
ST. 800 900. most remarkable change
"a compared with balance against us
two years ago of over s2,o00,000 aud
three years ago of SIS, o00, 900. The ag-
gregate value of the exports for twelve
months ending August 81 10 larger than
any fiscal year in tee history of the
country. As the conditions in the past
year have not undergone any radical
change except in the taking effect of
the tariff act. thsss figures certainly
have sn intimate bearing on the effects
of that law. 1t Is shown that our for
eign commerce has not decreased, but
increased. The widespread misunder-
standing OF the act is shown by the fact
that under il more imports have come
into the country free of duty by nearly
slO0, 900 900 than ever before. the per-
eeutsge being Al per cent of imports
against 34I per cent in the previous
year. This result. too, is attained with
free sugar making a part Of the total
for only FIVE months of the period IN

city policy are Less plainly shown in the
figures for The simple reason that the
