Trade Balance, SCI 5,259.O24.


Trade Balance, $615,259,O24.
The sum named above repre-.
sents the excess Of exports over
imports shown in the completed
trade statistics for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1898. This is
more than double the amount of
any favorable trade balance hlther.
to recorded by the United States.
In every detail which contributes
toward the grand total of national
prosperity this first fiscal year of
the Dingley tariff is record break
err.
The exports for the year were
1921. 311,s 1868, which surpasses by
$50, 1882, the exports Of last
year under the Wilson.Gorman
low tariff and no tariff.
The exports for 1898 were al
most exactly double the imports,
as $1.231, 311, 1868 is to $616,052,-
S44.
The total imports for 1898, $685..
O52, s44, is $148, 6T, 566 less than
the total for 1897, and is the
smallest volum of imports re-
corded since 1879.
In 1879 the amount of import.
ed merchandise per capita of pop
ulation was $500. In 1898, with
m estimated population of 70, 00O,.
900, the amount per capita is 1856.
This is the lowest amount Of i'm.
ported merchandise per capita re.
corded in the past thirty.one years,
Or since the average bulk of i'm.
portation, interrupted by the civil
war, regained normal proportions.
During 1898 the excess Of gold
exports has been 500, $40, 900,
while the exports of silver coin
bullion exceeded the imports by
by "a, 052,000.
Taking these figures in connec'
ion with those Of the merchan-
lise traffic there IS an apparent
credit balance in the favor of the
United States of 1854, 900, 900.
If an allowance is made for a
permanent debt OH account of
freight charges on American COM
merce carried in foreign vessels,
interest on foreign loans and ex.:
penses oftrayelers abroad, amount
ing to $3.50, 0O0,0O0 per year, the
net balance above this amount to
the credit Of American merchants
and financiers would stand at 1884.
100000. The corresponding bal
ance for 1887 1924, 900, 900, and
the gain in the actual cash bal.
ance for 1898, the first year of
restored protection, is 1890, 900, 900.
The condensed record of the
year, which includes eleven
of fair and intelligent pro.
section as contrasted with the pre-.
ceeding twelve months of low tar
if ana no tariff, stands thus:
Gain in exports, $50, 1882.
Decreased in imports, $148,6T,.

Excess of exports over imports.
It is q record unparalleled in the
worlds history of commerce.
