SOME GREAT FIGURES.

The U. S. bureau of statistics has just
issued statement which contains figures
OF more than passing interest. 1t deals
with the foreign commerce Of the country
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892.
The showing is AS remarkable rs it is
gratifying, and is of particular interest
because it goes so far toward demonstrate
ing, by producing the figures for it, just
how prosperous the United States must
be under a sound Republican administra-
ton.
The report shows that the aggregate
value Of imports and exports of merchan-
disc attained to its highest point, amount
ing to 81, S57 ,726, 90, as against 81 $780,
397 ,OO6 during the fiscal year 1891, an
increase of $l2S, 1929, 004 and all increase
of 1870, 1919, 1888 since 1890. This is also
very large increase over the average
annual increase for the ten years from
1882 to 1891, which was $25 ,42l ,5l7.
The value CT imports of merchandise
during the last fiscal year was 1927 39l,-
2S4 as against $844 ,916,l for the fiscal
year 1891 decrease of l0,524,9 l2.
There was an increase of imports Of
coffee, raw silk and sugar, but decrease
in the imports OF tin plates, manufactures
OF silk, wool and tobacco, and vegetables,
| fs,it, N tavtila urnSooa
The value of imports Of merchandise
free OF duty during the fiscal year just
ended exceeds like imports of the fiscal
year 1889 by the sum IF $20l ,5l4 ,067.
In 1889 the per cent OF free imports OF
the total was 34S1. In 1892 it was SIS So.
In 1889 the average al valorem per cent
OF duty on all imports free and dutiable
was 30 .69; in 1892 it was 20G5. 1t will
be observed that there has been not only
very large increase in the value of free
imports over prior years, but a large
reduction in the average al valorem
per cent on imports, the lowest since
1861.
The total value of exports of merchan
disc during the fiscal year 1892 was 81,
030, 1856 ,526 as against 1884 ,4S0, $40 during
the fiscal year 1891, an increase of $l45,
S54, 9l6. This is the first year OF Amer
lean commerce when the exports 0
merchandise have reached 81 900, 900, 900
The average annual value of exports 10
the past ten years has been $754, 345, Sl4
The exports of this last year exceed tina
average annual value by the sum OF 1918,
9S9,7
This latter large increase in exports O
1892 over 1891, we note with special salts
faction, was made up chiefly of bread
stuffs, cattle, eheep and hogs, whicl
aggregate $l73, 7O6,9 05, an increase G
$50 ,S0l 1916.
The attention OF onr political friends
the enemy, is particularly directed to
careful perusal of these figures. We wan
them to study them and find out jus
how big country ours is getting to be
and how strong government it takes t
run it.
And this is the system OF government
that the Democratic party would brea
down by voting the gold-bug free trader
Grover Cleveland, into the presidency!
