ONE MILLION A DAY.
Value of Imports of Tropical Prod
ucts Into United States.
Most of the Articles Are Produced In
Greater or Less Degree In
the New Island Pos
sessions.

The people Of the United States are
paying Sl,OOO,0OO a day for tropical
p, oducts used in manufacturing or
'ood and drink, and most of which are
produced iu greater or less degree or
can be readily produced in the islands
which have come into closer relation
ship with the United States through
the events Of the past two years. The
ipril summary Of commerce and
finance, which has just been issued by
the treasury bureau OF statistics,
shows that in the ten months euCinp
with April our imports of trop,ca!
products have been over $500 0o0,ouo in
value, thus averaging fuu5 $LCCu,c,0a
day, and indicating that for the full
year they win reach S3di,0o0oOO
India rubber, fbers, raw silk, cotton,
gums, cabipct woods, indigo, ivory,
dye woods and certain lines OF chem
icals make up the share of this vast
sum which the manufacturers of the
United States take and require in con-
staptly increasing quantities. The
importation OF raw materials for use
i'm manufacturing has increased stead
ily and now forms more than one-thrd
OF our total imports, and the large pro
portion OF this comes from the tropics.
OF india rubber alone the imports Of
the ten months amount to more than
S270Oo,oOO; Of iibcrs, TO Seo,000,cOO; Of
manufactured silk, Si0.UO0,uoO; of
cotton, over S1o0o,00O; OF gums, more
