Manufacturers. Euy More Freely and
Make More finished Goods.
One Of the most interesting portions
of the annual report of the treasury bu-
rcau for 1900 concerns the importation
OF manufacturers materials.
Crude and raw materials were more
largely imported than ever before, and
formed large share Of the total imports.
Those included unmanufactured fibcrs,
raw silk, WOOL crude india rubber. hides,
skins, pig tin, and chemicals. The inn
portationS Of these articles amounted TO
the sum of 1902 2G4, log, which was 40
per cent greater than in any preceding
year. Then there were articles wholly
on partially manufactured. for use as ma.
terials in manufacturing, which includ.
cd wood. leather. furs, cement, yarns,
oils, dyes, dye woods and certain chemi
Gals, amounting TO SIS, 433, $40. Taken
together. these materials for use in our
manufactures show an increase Of $107,.
3I3,G!lS over those OF the year 1899.
All these imports were take, by our
manufacturers TO be worked over and re-
sold, and the returns indicate in the clear.
est manner the prosperity of the manu-
featuring business. Some OF these arti-
cles were free from customs duty. while
others were dutiablc. showing how the
wise discrimination of the Dingley tariff
law promoted both the interests Of the
manufacturers and the interests OF the
people. The share which articles in the
raw form for manufacturing purposes
have In the imports Is constantly increas'
ing, and in the year just ended make ~
far the largest total in the history cf sat
foreign commerce. All OF this means this
better employment OF American lSLp.
