adopted by the countries of Europe will
be most disastrous upon The export trade
of the United States In addition to the
high and prohihjtive9 rates of duty jrn-
posed upon imports from the United
States our products will meet with the
severe competition OF other nations to-

The very serious situation that coIl-d
fronts the export trade of the United
States TO Europe viii be realized when II
is considered that our total exports to Eu-
rope during the fiscal year 1864 exceeded
the sum of 81 .057. 600 zoe. which was more
than two-thirds Of our total exports. The
United Kingdom. which receives more
than half of these exports TO Europe un-
der its present tariff system will offer no
barriers 10 our trade unless the agitation
conducted by Mr. Chamberlain should be
successful. Germany, after the United
Kingdom our best customer, which re-
ceives S215, 100000 of our exports: France,
s65, 00o. 900; Italy, s35 100000, and Swftzer--
land. Russia. Aastro Hungary and minor
countries Of the continent will bar many
of our exports through the imposition OF
these high rates of duty. s
Our principal articles of export to the
continent of Europe are the following:
Wheat, barley, malt. dried apples pears.
