Friday, August 15, 1856. Mr. FITZPATRICK, from the Committee on Printing, to whom was referred the resolution of the 14th instant, to inquire into the expediency of printing, for the use of the Senate, five thousand copies of the message of the President to the House of Representatives on Commercial Statistics, reported the following resolution, which was considered by unanimous consent, and agreed to: Resolved, That there be printed, for the use of the Senate, the usual number, and five thousand additional copies of the message of the President to the House of Representatives on Commercial Statistics of different nations, with the accompanying documents. COMMERCIAL REPORT. PART SECOND. COMPARATIVE TARIFFS. EXTRACT FROM THE LETTER OF THE SUPERINTENDENT SUBMITTING THE REPORT. (a) TinIS branch of the work comprises tables exhibiting a comparative statement of the tariff of the United States with the tariffs of all other nations, numbering, with those of their dependencies, more than forty-tariffs of exportation as well as of importation being given were found to exist; the denominations of foreign moneys, weights, and measures, being, in all instances, reduced to the federal standard of the United States, (b) and each tariff being preceded by an explanatory preface. In addition to these comparative statements of the tariffs of separate nations with that of the United States, others are given, which, grouping the tariffs of countries contiguous to each other, and having similar trade, the customs rates of these countries are presented at a glance, in comparison with those of the tariff of the United States, as regards the most important staples of commerce. In one tabular group, for example, are compared the customs rates of the nations of northern Europe; in another, those of southern Europe; in a third, those to which our indirect trade with central Europe is subjected; a fourth presents the tariff rates of the South American republics; a fifth, those of the States of Central America; and a sixth, those of Hayti and the Dominican republic. A like course has been pursued with the colonial and other possessions of Great Britain, forming four such tabulated groups-East Indies, West Indies, North America, and one composed of Gibraltar and Malta. Another similar comparative statement exhibits, at a glance, the import duties levied by twelve of the principal commercial nations, respectively, on thirty-five of the staple products of the United States. Another statement exhibits, at a glance, the per centage increase or decrease of the rates of duty on prominent articles of commerce by the customs tariffs of the principal commercial countries of Europe for a period of eight years, from 1846 to 1853, both inclusive, showing the changes within that period, during which no change occurred in the tariff of the United States; while still another exhibits the rates of duty imposed on principal imports for a (a) Vol I, p. x. (b) The pound sterling excepted, which, for reasons given in the preface to the tariff of Great Britain, is estimated at $4 80, instead of 4 484. VI EXTRACT FROM SUPERINTENDENT' S LETTER. period of nearly fifty years, under each of the eighteen different tariffs of the United States, from that of 1789 to that of 1846, both inclusive, with the increase or decrease of the rates for that period. Following the series of Comparative Tariffs is presented a series of tabular statements, preceded by an explanatory introduction, illustrated by numerous tables, exhibiting the quantities and values of thirty of the staple products exported from the United States to thirteen of the principal commercial countries, together with the amounts of duties paid thereon, during the commercial years 1851, 1852, and 1853; and, also, a summary statement exhibiting the aggregate value of the staple and other domestic products exported to the same countries during the same years, with the aggregate amount of duties paid on the staple products exported; and a summary statement exhibiting the average value of the same, to the same countries, for the same years, with the average amount of duties thereon accruing to each country in each of the years specified. An elaborate series of tabular statements is next given, exhibiting, in detail, the import duties levied by the tariffs of all nations, and by those of their dependencies, on the staple or principal productions of the United States-products of the sea, of the soil, of the forest, of manufactures, &c., being specified in distinct tables-columns being added to show the rates of duty levied on the same articles imported from other countries, and the discrimination in favor of or against the United States, where such may exist. A statement exhibiting the same facts with regard to all portions of the British empire follows; while detailed statements of the privileges afforded, and the restrictions imposed, by all nations and their dependencies on commercial intercourse with the United States, whether by treaty or local legislation, by duties on imports or on exports, by bounties or drawbacks, or in any other way, in distinct tables; together with their tonnage charges, whether by treaty or legislation, their modes of measuring tonnage, their sanitary regulations, and the regulations of their colonial trade, also in distinct tables, complete the second part of the Report. The preparation of the Comparative Tariffs has proved a tedious and toilsome task; while there can be none, perhaps, in which, despite all possible care, there is a greater liability to error. The latest official publications, in the original languages, have alone, in all instances, been relied on as authority; and the work has been repeatedly subjected to vexatious delay by the difficulty in procuring them from abroad. Changes and modifications also in foreign customs rates have been so frequent and so important the last year or two, that it has been found by no means easy to keep pace with them, even by constant alterations in the work performed; while, in several instances, the unlooked for appearance of entirely new tariffs has rendered worthless long and labored tabular statements already prepared, and complete substitution indispensable. NOTE. IN revising this volume for the press, all changes in the tariff of the United States caused by the act of March 3, 1857, have been noted, and a comparison between the rates of this tariff and that of July 30, 1846, has, at the same time, been instituted by placing the customs rates of the two acts in adjacent parallel columns; while all material modifications which have taken place in the tariffs of other nations have, with more or less minuteness, been detailed. The delay, however, which the Report had unavoidably sustained in the course of printing, and a solicitude to have it, as speedily as possible, completed, have tended to rende impracticable that thorough and critical revision of the volumq which had been designed. For changes and modifications in the tariffs of foreign nations since they were prepared, general reference is invited to Consular Returns embraced in volumes III and IV of this work, and to the An ual Reports of the Secretary of State on Foreign Commerce. As a customs guide, or a hand book, for daily use by the merchant, a volume comprehending statements of " The Tariffs of all Nations," can never, it is evident, be deemed so reliable as the quotations of his foreign correspondence from the rates prescribed by the latest customs act, or imperial decree, or royal order, or order in council, affording the precise current duties on merchandise in the export of which he may have interest. To present a printed volume containing the tariff rates on all articles of import or export, in all countries, actually in force on the day the volume is published, is, of course, in the very nature of customs regulations, impossible. Granted that the very latest tariff in force in a distant country had been procured, translated, and prepared for the press, it is probable that long before the last of the orty or fifty tariffs which the volume would contain was in type, ma rial changes would have taken place, not only in the tariff first obtained and prepared, but even in the latest. Were it possible, however, that, on the day of publication, each tariff statement in the volume should present the precise current rates actually in force on each article of merchandise in each of all commercial nations on that day, there is not the slightest probability that these rates would continue thus exact six months later, or even one month later, so incessant are the executive, legislative, or provisional modifications in the rates of foreign tariffs, and so unlooked for, so varied, and so apparently insignificant oftentimes are the contingencies from which such modifications arise. As an aid, however, to the commercial statesman or the political economist in ascertaining the tariff policy of different nations, and of comparing or contrasting such policy with that of the United States-a policy which may outlive a century, and which may be ascertained quite as well from a tariff law enacted ten years since, (as that of Spain) no change of policy having occurred, as in one of latest date-a volume of tariffs can but prove of invaluable service. Causes of ephemeral influence may affect the minor details in tariff rates but changes in tariff policy are of slow growth and unfrequent occurrence. CONTENTS.

MALTA.-Duties are levied on but few articles, as follows: breadstuffs, cattle, seeds, beans, potatoes, olive oil, wines, and spirits.-(See vol. 3 "Returns," p. 46.) (a) EGYPT-Import duties: 5 per cent. ad valorem. Deducting one-fifth, however, which is returned to the importer, the net rate of duty is only 4 per cent. ad valorem. Prohibited: Arms and ammunition. Export duties: 12 per cent. ad valorem. Deducting one-sixth, however, which is returned to the importer, the net rate of duty is only 10 per cent. ad valorem. Transit duties: 3 per cent. ad valorem. Those goods, however, which pass between Europe and India, pay only per cent. ad valorem. LIBERIA —Import duties: On beer, cordials, spirituous liquors, wines, $1 per gallon, and on all other articles, 8 per cent. ad valorem. Export duties, none. PERSIA-Import duties, 6 per cent. ad valorem. SIAe. -For tariff regulations, bearing date April 18, 1855, see vol. 1 " Digests," pp. 494, et seq. SANDWICH ISLANDS.-For a tariff of May, 1855, see vol. 1 "1Digests," pp. 547, et seq. Its main features, compared with the former tariffs, are as follows: 1st. It reduces the duty on liquor from $5 to $3 per gallon; 2d. It imposes a duty of $1 per gallon on wines of a strength between 18 and 30 per cent. of alcohol, which now pay a duty of 5 per cent. ad valorem; 3d. Instead of a uniform duty of 5 per cent. ad valorem on all other merchandise, this act admits a class of free goods, and three other classes at 5, 10, and 15 per cent. ad valorem. It was to have gone into effect May, 1856, "provided it was in violation of no treaty existing at that time:" but, being supposed to conflict with the 6th article of a treaty of 1846 with France, it has not yet superseded the former tariff. NIcARAG UA.-For tariff of July 2 1, 18 56, see vol. 1 " IDigests, " pp. 5 99, et seq. PARAGUAY.-For the tariff of January 2, 1846, see vol, 1 "IDigests," pp. 761, et seq. Changes, however, have since taken place; the latest being by virtue of a law of October 31, 1856, which came into force January 1, 1857, declaring coals and lime free, and imposing a duty on furs and raw wool of 15 per cent. ad valorem, and on silk, raw, sewing, and manufactures of, 8 per cent. (a) The simplicity of the customs rates at Gibraltar and Malta has caused the omission in printing of a comparative statement prepared for this volume, in which the import duties of the respective tariffs are combined in a tabular group. ERRATA. "lTo one familiar with commercial statistics, it is unnecessary to suggest, that, in a work so complicated and so comprehensive as the present, involving facts and figures almost without number, derived from authorities numerous, and often conflicting, in various languages, errors, notwithstanding the most unsleeping vigilance and the most toilsome scrutiny, are unavoidable." The above sentence appears prefixed to the first volume of this work, devoted to" Digests;" and, if its significance has been recognized in that connexion, much more ought it to he aclknowledged as prefixed to the present volume, devoted to a subject far more intricate and involved, especially when it is considered that to the "Digests," consisting mainly of letter press, printed in comparatively large type, were accorded nine months for conduct through the press, while to the" Tariffs," made up almost entirely of tabular statements, and printed in smaller type, have been accorded scarcely three. Material "corrections and additions, found requisite in the course of printing," were, it is true, made in the " Digests," as authorized by. the House resolution ordering the printing; but" corrections and additions" yet more "requisite" have been made in the " Tariffs." The second volume is, however, less volaminous than was the first. A few errors have chanced to arrest the eye since the sheets left the press;. but it is deemed advisable to leave their correction, as well as that of all others, to the pencil of the reader. PART IT. COMPARATIVE TARIFFSo GREAT BRITAIN ANR P HER POSSESSIONS. GREAT BRITAIN. THE tariff is that of 1854, with changes and modifications down to 1855. (a) The whole of the imperial duties heretofore levied in the British possessions abroad, and in force when the last Commercial Report from this Department was prepared, are now repealed; consequently, the only duties to which importations into such possessions are subject are those assessed by colonial legislation, differing, as they frequently do, in the different colonies, and ranging from 3 to 30 per cent. ad valorem. This exemption from imperial duties in our commercial intercourse with British colonial possessions will explain the absence in the following tables of the separate columns appropriated to such possessions in the Report of 1842. The omission, however, is supplied by a comprehensive view of our present commercial relations with British colonial possessions, in all parts of the world, presented in a series of supplemental tables prepared from the most authentic documents. In all cases, in which there appears to be any discriminating duty on articles imported into Great Britain in favor of the colonies, the differential duty is noted in the column headed " Into Great Britain from the British Colonies." Money.-4 farthings = 1 penny = 2 cents; 12 pence _ 1 shilling = 24 cents; 20 shillings = 1 pound = $4 80. The reasons for estimating the value of the pound sterling at $4 80 instead of at the intrinsic value $4 87, or at the legal andLUnited States custom-house value, by the act of Congress of July 27, 1842, $4 84, or at the par value $4 44, are chiefly these: 1st. In the Report of 1842, on which the present is required to be framed, the value of the pound is estimated at $4 80. 2d. By estimating the pound at $4 80 fractions are avoided; while at $4 84 they would be of constant occurrence. When an estimate of duties at the legal value of the pound sterling ($4 84) is desired, there must be added to each rate of duty given in the tables 1-oth, or to the aggregate of any amount of duties on articles calculated at those rates <1-tth, or 4ths (nearly) of 1 per cent. on that aggregate; and, when it is desired to estimate duties at the par value of the pound sterling, ($4 44,) there must, in the same manner, be deducted from each given rate, or from the aggregate of the amounts of duties calculated in the tables, Jlth of said rate on the aggregate of the amounts, or about 9 per cent. Weights and measures. —The same as in the United States. The imperial gallon 1. 20 gallons United States custom-house standard. The imperial bushel = 8 imperial gallons - 1. 03 bushels United States custom-house standard.

FRANCE AND HER POSSESSIONS MM~~~ ~~ E.,.L-... -. P=. - s FRANCE AND HER POSSESSIONS. THE tariff is that of 1844, with supplements and modifications up to 1855.(a) The prohibitions and duties are applicable to all ports of entry of the empire. The foreign ministers and other members of the diplomatic corps are the only persons enjoying the privilege of immunity from all custom-house duties. All merchandise imported from foreign countries is considered as " foreign," and, therefore, subject to the duty on foreign goods. Merchandise, the import duty on which exceeds twenty francs ($3 72) per 100 kilogrammes, (220 pounds,) is admissible only at certain ports; the same is true as regards exports. From this restriction, however, small quantities carried by travellers are exempted. Products of the French colonies enjoy important modifications of duty under the title of " colonial privileges." Products of the East Indian archipelago (the islands beyond the Straits of Sunda) pay, with the exception of sugar, one-fifth less duty on all imports than those countries which, after the colonies, are the most favored as regards duties. Products of the Levant are treated as those of countries out of Europe, if imported direct, and consist, for the most part, of yellow wax, copper in masses, fish oil, gall-nuts, hides, and potash, coming from the ports of the Black Sea. American vessels, on direct voyage to France, compelled to run into a foreign port by inclemency of weather, will, if they procure a certificate of the fact from the French consul residing at that port, be considered as on direct voyage and enjoy all the privileges attached thereto. Besides the custom-house dues, there is levied ten per cent. on the amount of the total duty, (exclusive of the sanitary dues,) called " decime additionnel;" but American vessels are exempted from this. An extra duty (surtaxe) of twenty francs ($3 72) on the ton of merchandise was levied after the conclusion of the treaty of June 24, 1822, on American vessels in French ports and on French vessels in American ports. This charge, however, ceased by limitation the 1st of October, 1827. It may be remarked that the abolition has reference not only to the direct, but also to the indirect importation of the two countries, as appears from a letter of the Secretary of the Treasury to the French minister at Washington, dated July 6, 1849. French vessels have, however, in this case to pay the differential duties, as prescribed in the American tariff, and amounting to from ten to twenty per cent. ad valorem. Every false declaration of the value of goods at the custom-house entails the right of " pre-emption "-that is, the merchandise is retained at the custom-house, and to the owner there is paid, a fortnight after he has received notice of the seizure, a sum equal to the value of the merchandise, with an addition of ten per cent. ad valorem. Articles of which the declaration of the value must be controlled by the " comite consultatif des arts et manufactures," as engraved plates, optical instruments, &c., are not liable to pre-emption. All merchandise taxed by the pound must pay the duty on the gross pound-that is, the weight of the boxes, casks, emballage, &c., are not deducted from the real weight of merchandise. From this, however, are excepted those goods the duty on which exceeds forty francs ($7 44) per 100 kilogrammes (220 pounds.) They pay, in conformity with article 7th of the decree of March 27, 1817, only the duty on the net pound. A later decree also exempts silk work mixed with gold or silver, raw and dyed silks, gold and silver bullion, machines, laces, prepared quills, Indian nankin, raw cotton, sugar, coffee, cocoa, pepper, indigo, potash, sulphate of soda, cream of tartar, and carbonate of potash, which also pay the duty on the net pound. Double cases, coverings, casks, &c., are not estimated in the weight when the duty is charged on the gross weight. The net pound is either effective or legal. It is effective or really net if the merchandise has been taken out of the boxes, wrappers, &c., and weighed alone. It is legal when a deduction or tare for the weight of the cases, coverings, boxes, &c., as defined by law, has been made. The tares of the principal articles of the commerce between the United States and France are as follows: (a) CHasGES.-For changes in the tariff rates of France and her Possessions since this work was prepared, reference is invited to the Appendix and to the Annual Reports of the Secretary of State. 11 a 82 COMPARATIVE TARIFFS.

On tin cases, in which goods are sometimes packed, is charged the duty on tin, and the actual tare of the box is deducted from the articles the box contains. The net weight of such liquids as are taxed by weight, as acids, fluids, oils, preserves, syrups, &c., is ascertained by deducting the tare allowed on the vessel containing them; on the bottles and jars duty is also paid. Metal vessels pay 10 per cent. ad valorem. Merchandise injured by storms and other accidents, and depreciated in the value fixed in the price currents, enjoys, if sold at public sale, a reduction of duty in proportion to the depreciation. Corsica and Algiers have, with the exception of some articles given in the tariff, the same custom-house regulations and duties as France. The direct trade between France and her colonies is confined to French vessels(a) measuring 40 tons, at least. As French colonies are considered in the tariff the Island of Bourbon, French Guiana, the French Antilles, Martinique, and Guadalupe, (with its dependencies, viz: Marie Galante, D6sirade,) and the French part of St. Martin, all the other French colonial establishments, as Senegal and Goree, St. Pierre and M luelon, the Islands Ste. Marie de Madagascar, Mayotte, Nossi-BS, Tahite, Mukahira, are only regarded as "settlements," and enjoy less privileges than the colonies proper. France has with almost all nations distinct and separate treaties, which circumstance renders more complicated the French custom-house system. American produce imported direct into France, and in American bottoms, will, with the exception of the raw products of fisheries and crude tin, pay the duty given in the tariff, under the head "1 In national vessels." If, however, imported indirectly, they are, with the exception of raw cotton, subject to the duty given under the head "In foreign vessels.".Moneys, weights, and measures. 1 franc = 100 centimes = 18.6 American cents. 1 decalitre, liquid capacity, 2-.64 gallons. 5 francs = 93 cents 1 " dry capacity, = 9.08 quarts.

THE nature of the changes and modifications sustained by the tariff of France since the preceding pages were prepai ed, as well as the character and frequency of changes and modifications in that tariff generally, may be inferred from a synopsis of the more important imperial decrees, ministerial circulars, &c., which have been put forth during the two years ending September, 1856, which is subjoined. It affords a convincing exemplification of the impossibility of presenting in print a statement which shall afford the exact rates of the French tariff, current and in force on the day of publication. It may be doubted whether the Director General of the Customs of France could himself present such a work. Long before the -last sheets of his thick quarto, embodying the existing tariff, had left the press, the rates noted in the columns of the first pages would, doubtless, have experienced material modifications, by virtue of the decrees, ordinances, circulars, decisions, &c., &c., which are daily looked for from that department of the public service. And the remark is not inapplicable to the tariffs of other countries besides France. September 22, 1854, a decree was issued fixing the duties on all foreign brandies at 15 francs per hectolitre, (2612 gallons United States custom-house measurement,) of the strength of 100 degrees. (a) October 3 the duty on'leeches of 50 centimes per 1,000 was abolished by decree. October 5 a decree was issued reducing the duties on all foreign wines, both in casks and bottles, to 25 centimes per hectolitre; and on all salted meats 50 centimes (912 cents) per 100 kilograinmes, (220 pounds United States weight ) (b) October 7 a decree was issued by which the time specified in the decree of June 24th was extended till 31st July, 1855. The decree of June 24, 1854, provided as follows: Ist. That flour and grain should be admitted on the same terms when imported in foreign ships as when imported in Frelnchl ships. 2d. That the duties on grain, &c., be reduced to the minimum established by the law of 1832, namelyv: to 25 centimes per 100 kilogrammes on rice, flour, dried vegetables, and meal of all descriptions. 3d. A prohibition of the export of grain, potatoes, and dried vegetables. 4th. An exemption from tonnage dues of foreign vessels arriving with flour, grain, rice, dried vegetables, and potatoes. 5th. Permission granted foreign vessels to carry the above articles from one port in France to another, and also between ports in France and Algeria. 6th. Prohibition of the export of potatoes from Algeria, and export from France to Algeria permitted. By a decree of the 25th October the importation duty on medicinal leaves was fixed as follows: Orange, ivy, (stems and branches included.) Betel; clove; senna, (leaves and follienas, whole or broken;) and others not enumerated: By French ships.-From countries out of Europe, free. From entrepots, 10 francs per 100 kilogrammes. By foreign ships, 20 francs per 100 kilogrammes. (a) There are no spirits of the above strength, 90 degrees being about the masimum distilled. Sixty-tliree decrees, French standard, corresponds with the fourth-proof United States, and is the usual strength at which brandies are bought and sold. (b) The increase in the price of meats in France has been very great since i1848; so much so, that general complaint exists oin the subject. From 1852 to 1854 there has been an increase of price from 40 to 45 per cent. The attention of the government of France having been called to this fact, its efforts have been not only to prevent a further increase, but to effect a diminution from present prices. To this end the tariffs have been revised, and very great reductions have been made upon the importation of foreign cattle, to wit: from $10 23 to 74 cents a head on beef, &c. Not only so, but the direct attention of the people of France has been called to the use of salt meat, and the experiment of opening the market is being Inade with much success. The duty upon this article has been successively reduced from $5 58 to $3 72, to $1 86, and, in the month of October last, to 91 cents the 220 pounds, or 100 kilogrammes. Under these reductions there has been an astonishing development in its importation. In 1854 the importation ofmeats, fresh and salt, reached only 3,527 quintaux, or 777,844 58-100 pounds; while, in the first month of 1855, the importation reached 3,720 qsmintaux, being more than in the whole year of 1854 by 193 quintaux, or 44,769 62-200 pcunls.-Consnlar Ret /-m. 84 COMPARATIVE TARIFFS.'I'tle distillation of any substance whatsoever that could be distilled was carried on to such a degree that a decree was issued on the 26th of October forbidding tile distillation of cereals and of all other alimentary substances. By a decree of the 1st of November the exportation from France of cereals-wheat, flour, &c.-was prohibited; and on the 6th a similar decree allowed the free admission of quercitron bark, imported by French vessels from countries out of Europe, and reduced the existing duty of 40 francs on that article, arriving by French vessels from the entrepots of Europe, to 20 francs, and from 60 francs to 30 francs when imported by foreign vessels having no commercial treaty with France. On the 16th November notice was communicated by circular that, by a treaty concluded between France and Belgium, the former admitted geographical and marine charts, linen, printing ink, types, thread and hemp yarn, straw plait, slate, stone, and other raw materials, without a certificate of origin-Belgium conceding to France a similar privilege on charts, types, printing ink, clothes, pasteboard in sheets, paper of all descriptions, (except colored or morocco,) slates, prepared plaster, Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne wines, and also those of Tours and Bayonne, in cask. November 29 a decree was issued prohibiting the export from France, till July 31, 1855, of flour, and all kinds of grain. On the 5th Derernber a declaration was promulgated between the emperor of the French and the prince of Monaco, by which the former reduced the then existing duty oni olive oil, (not exceeding 180,000 kilogrammes in quantity,) when imported by French vessels, or those of the prince of Monaco, to a uniform duty of 15 francs per 100 kilogrammes-the vessels of the principality being assimilated to those of Sardinia for payment of tonnage dues-the duty on French wines imported into the territory of the prince of Monaco, in cask, being fixed at 3f. 30c. per hectolitre, and at 10 centimes in bottle not containing more than a litre. By a decree, dated 20th December, molasses from the French colonies, arriving by French vessels, was admitted free; when imported from countries out of Europe, at a duty of 3 francs, and fromn the entrepots at a duty of 8 francs per 100 kilogrammes. When imported by foreign vessels, it was fixed at 13 francs per 100 kilogrammes. On the same day a decree was issued fixing the duties on sugar as follows: On brown sugars, when imported from French colonies in French ships, no charge; from China, Cochin-China, Philippine Islands, and Siam, when imported in French vessels, 48 francs per 100 kilogrammes; from other ports -out of Europe, when in French vessels, 53 francs per 100 kilogrammes. On those already stored in government warehouses, 63 francs per 100 kilogrammes; when imported in foreign vessels, 68 francs per 100 kilogrammes. On clayed sugars, the duties to be 3 francs per kilogramme higher than the above rates. Also a decree fixing the duties on dried raisins at 25 centimes per 100 kilogrammes when imported in French vessels, and 2 francs when in foreign vessels. Also a decree fixing the duties on molasses when intended for distillation, as follows: From French colonies, in French ships, free; fi-om countries out of Europe, in French ships, 3 francs per 100 kilogrammes. On that in government warehouses, 8 francs; when imported in foreign vessels, 13 francs per 100 kilogrammes. Also a decree fixing the duties on all animal greases, as follows: When imported in French vessels from India, 2 francs per 100 kilogrammes; from other countries, 5 francs per 100 kilogrammes; when imported in foreign vessels, 8 francs. Fish oil, when imported in French vessels from beyond Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope, 10 francs per 100 kilogrammes; from other places out of Europe, 15 francs. On that in government warehouses, 20 francs; when imported in foreign vessels, 30 francs. On the 6th January, 1855, three decrees were published; one permitting the temporary importation of sheet copper into France by French vessels, or direct from the country where it is produced, free of duty; when intended for the manufacture of boilers or machinery, its origin to be certified by the French consul at the place of its departure. Immediately on its arrival, the importer is bound to make a declaration at the custom-house of the number and weight of the sheets, as well as of their length, breadth, and thickness. The custom-house, after having ascertained the correctness of such declaration, is enjoined to cause a stamp to be put on each sheet, in order to assure the exportation of the samne copper; and a charge of 5 centimes for stamping, including the cost of the stamp, is made for every sheet so stamped. Bond must be given that the whole quantity of copper imported shall be used, and re-exported, or placed in the public stores, (excepting such parts as may remain from cuttings or corners of sheets, on which the duty must be paid in the same proportion as if they were whole sheets,) within six months; and the custom-house is enjoined to assure itself that the articles so manufactured are equal in quantity, kind and quality, so that, temporarily admitted, sheet copper can only be exported from ports or places having public warehouses, or from places to which such articles are allowed to be sent in transit. By another, the temporary introduction of old cast iron belonging to foreign built steamboats, which may put into France for repairs, is also admitted free of duty, the importers giving sufficient security for replacing in the entrepots of France, within six months, an equal quantity of iron, proper for ships' use, to that which may have been employed in such repairs. Iron imported under this decree, and the article manufactured therefrom, can only be exported from places having government warehouses; and the custom-house is charged to see that thee iron imported and not used be broken up in such way as to render it impossible of being used otherwise. The third decree subjects foreign vessels at the Island of Senegal to a simple tax of 50 centimes per ton, without the additional FRANCE. 85 10 per cent.; but this is limited to the port of Goree. A decree relative to French and foreign emigration was promulgated on thle 15th January. A circular bearing the same date exempts from the tax of stomnbage, or leading, certain articles of French origin, or foreign goods, on which the duty imposed by law has been paid, when they are sent by water from one part of the empire to another, precautions being taken to assure the identity of the goods on their arrival at the port of destination. By a circular, dated 16th January, the decree of 20th December, prohibiting the importation of foreign molasses, extends only to such as is intended for distillation; and the exemption from duty on French molasses equally applies to such as is imported solely for distillation. Molasses so imported is always under the surveillance of the customs till after its completion, at the place of distillation. By another circular, of the 27th of the same month, alcohol produced in Corsica from the distillation of the bulbs of daffodils, figs of the cactus, (prickly pears?) juniper and myrtle berries, and all other substances, with the exception f farinaceous, (which the distillation from these substances the circular continues to prohibit,) are added to the number of articles admitted free of duty. A decree of the same date modifies the duty on juniper and myrtle berries, and also on table fruits, and equalizes the duty on the bulbs of daffodils and figs of the cactus. By a decree of the 31st January foreign wines of every description were admitted into the islands of Martinique, Guadalupe, Guiana, Reunion, and Senegal, subject to a duty, when imported by French ships, of 25 centimes. per hectolitre, and to that of 5 francs when imported by foreign vessels. A circular of the 1st February exempts from examination, at the custom-houses of France, the baggage of foreigners arriving from foreign parts to embark for places abroad; and a decree of the 10th allows the free importation of salt (foreign) intended for the mackerel fishery, which heretofore was confined to that of France, from the 15th February of every year; and another decree of the 14th extends the period for its introduction from the 1st March to the 15th June. Previously to the date of that decree, it was only admitted between the 10th March and 15th June. February 11 a decree was issued by which the mackerel fishery can commence on the 1st of March, instead of on the 10th, as heretofore. On the 14th a decree was issued by which flour and grain from Algeria are admitted free of duty; and on the same day the importation duty upon spermaceti from the whale and " cachelot" of foreign fisheries was provisionally established as follows: Raw: By French vessels.-From countries situated beyond Cape H-orn and the Cape of Good Hope, 5 francs per 100 kilogrammes. From elsewhere out of Europe, 7.50 francs per 100 kilogrammes. From the entrepots, 10 francs per 100 kilogrammes. By foreign vessels, 15 francs per 100 kilogrammes. Pressed, 20 francs per 100 kilogrammes. Refined, 50 francs per 100 lilogrammes.

The oil entering by one-half, at least, in the mixture of greasy matter, 8.20 francs per 100 kilogrammes. 2d. The oil entering for less than one-half; 6 francs per 100 kilogrammes. Soap of animal fat: 3d. Pure, 6 francs per 100 kilogrammes. 4th. Mixed with rosin, 6 francs per 100 kilogrammes. Soap of palm or cocoa oil, mixed with animal fat or rosin, 4 francs per 100 kilogrammes. By a ministerial decision of the 22d of February filaments of cocoa, in the shape of tresses or twists, were assimilated to the coarse tresses for matting, and admitted as such at the duty of 2f. and 2f. 20c., according to the mode of importation. A circular of the 28th February specifies the objects which shall be considered as coming within the meaning of the treaty concluded with Spain on the 15th November, 1853, which are: books, dramatic and musical compositions, paintings, drawings, engravings, lithographs, sculptures, geographical maps, and all other similar productions, with the exception of works of art applicable to agriculture and industrial manufactures; and prohibits the reproduction of the works of either in the country of the other, and indicates the ports in France by which alone such works can be introduced. By a decree of the 10th March salted meats of all sorts of foreign origin, imported from any country whatsoever, or by any flag, into the colonies of Martinique, Guadalupe, Guiana, and La Reunion, will pay on entry a duty of 50 centimes per 100 kilogrammes. The importation of these same meats, on the payment of a duty of 50 centimes per 100 kilogrammes, is also permitted into St. Loui, (Senegal,) but by French vessels only, either direct from abroad or by extraction from the entrepot at Goree. Those which arrive at Senegal under a foreign flag continue subject to the same regulations that exist. By a ministerial decision of the 15th March the icaco or American prune will in future pay an entry duty similar to the 86 C OMPARATIVE TARI F S. ground and Taulmouna nut, either 1, 2, 3 francs, or 3f. 50c. the 100 kilogrammes, according to the source fromn whence it comes and mode of importation. By a decree of the 14th April the duty on " liqueurs " imported from the French colonies is fixed at 15 francs the hectolitre of liquid. By a decree of the 14th April the importation duties on raw wool were modified as follows, viz: Wool in bulk, imported direct, by French ships, from countries situated beyond Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope: From Australia and the Colony of the Cape, including Cape Town, present duties.

By ordonnence of the 31st July and 4th December, 1816, all vessels arriving in France in ballast, to take in salt, were exempted from tonnage dues. By a decree of the 16th of May, 1855, foreign vessels arriving with cargo enjoy the same privilege, but only in proportion to the quantity of salt taken by them; and by a circular of the 2d of June the export duty on salt is suppressed. Alcohol distilled from daffodils in Algeria is admitted into France free of duty by decree of May 23d. By a decree of the 2d of June the delay fixed for the introduction cf provisions into France is prolonged to the 31st of December, 1855; by another of the 5th the free admission of ships importing grain, flour, rice, &c., is extended; and by a circular of the 11th the exportation of these articles is prohibited during the same period.

A decree of the 31st August accords the free admission of game, poultry, and shell-fish, (tortue;) and one of the 22d September prolongs to the 31st December, 1856, the exemption from tonnage duty all vessels laden with grain, flour, rice, potatoes, and dried vegetables. By a decree of October 10 foreign vessels which have imported, from countries in the north of Europe, into the ports of 12 D 90 COMPARATIVE TARIFFS. Algiers, lumber, in proportion to three-fourths of their legal tonnage, and which shall subsequently leave such ports with cargoes consisting of French or Algerine produce, are exempted from tonnage dues. In case the quantity of lumber does not amount to three-fourths, duties will be levied on the tonnage unemployed, or used for other merchandise; and so with reference to the produce taken, provided one-half, at least, of the tonnage shall not be so used. By a decree issued October 17 lumber, wood for cabinet work, in logs or sawed, more than three decimetres (one English foot) in thickness; pig iron, bar iron, sheet iron, and fashion pieces; copper and zinc, unmanufactured; hemp and flax, hatcheled or unhatcheled; resin and tar, and tallow and other animal fats used in naval construction, are ordered to be admitted free of duty for a period of three years from date, on condition that the importer, within a year after the importation, gives satisfactory proof that said articles have been devoted to the purpose designated. And for one year from date vessels of every kind, whether sailing or propelled by steam, are to be admitted to all the privileges of naturalization, (francisatlion,) by paying a duty of 10 per cent. ad valorem; the same to be estimated by the Board of Arts and Manufactures. By the same decree the duties on the exportation of wood for cabinet makers, and also on iron scalings, are abolished. By a decree of December 10 the importation duties on the under-mentioned merchandise were established as follows: Description of merchandise. Quantity. Flag. Duty.

By a decree of the same date it is enacted that, from the 1st day of January, 1856, Dutch vessels coming direct from ports of Holland laden, or from any port whatever in ballast, shall be exempt, both inwards and outwards, from the tonnage duties established by the ordinance of June 26, 1841; nevertheless, and in conformity with the regulations of the said ordinance, Dutch vessels coming without cargo from the ports of Great Rritain to continue to pay, like French vessels, 18 3-5 cents (1 franc) per ton each voyage. By a decree published the 5th January, 1856, the importation duty on prepared skins was fixed as follows, until further order: Quantity. Duty.

Of other growth —------------------ -.- - - Same duties as when imported in foreign vessels. Formerly wool paid an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent.; the preceding tariff is considered to be equal to a reduction of onehalf. The drawback on the exportation of woolen tissues and worsted is proportionably diminished. By a decree of February 23 cotton, proper for the manufacture of sail duck, is admitted into France duty free. By a decree of April 16 pieces of iron, called knees, or branches of knees, intended in ship building to bind or strengthen the frame-work, and especially to secure the beams and timbers, are added to the list of articles of which the decree of 17th of October, 1855, permits the entry free of duty. By a decree of the 6th of May the duties on cocoa were reduced to 65 francs per 100 kilogrammes when imported by French vessels, and 75 francs by foreign vessels. By a decree of September 29 the extension fixed by the decree of September 19, 1855, for the operation of the modifications in the tariff of customs in the colonies of Martinique, Guadalupe, the island of Reunion, and of Senegal, in all that relates to, grains, breadstuffs, and dried pulse, is further continued to December 31, 1857. The tariff policy of the French government during the last three years, has, it will have been perceived from the preceding abstracts of decrees, &c., manifested a tendency to reduction of duties. Among the somewhat numerous changes, nearly all indicate decrease on previous rates. The per centage decrease, by virtue of these and other decrees and ordinances, on some of the articles named, when imported in foreign vessels or by land, may be noted approximately, as follows:(a) On sage, 50; salep, 75; sugar, 1st type and above 1st type, 10; camphor, 33; ultramarine, 77; rhubarb root, 63; tamarinds, 54; fruit not otherwise described, 50; timber, lumber, &c., 24 to 33; iron, cast, plated, old, &c., 12 to 70; iron for railroads, 45 to 60; steel in sheets, 36; manganese, 10; basket work, 38 to 58; steam engines and machines, 17 to 38; other than steam, 11 to 40; detached pieces of, 17 to 38; agricultural implements, 20; files, rasps, &c., 6 to 10; other instruments, 10 to 13. Among the articles declared free, previously paying duty, are: silk in cocoons, potatoes, molasses, gums from Europe, tow of hemp or flax for sails, masts and spars of certain dimensions, carding thistles, oil cakes, iron ribs and knees for vessels, nickel, (1st fusion,) arsenic, alkalies, vegetable ashes, &c., acetate of iron, cotton (raw) for cordage, resin of all sorts, On wool, common, fine, and washed, the duty changed from ad valorem to specific; and from skins, dressed, tanned, tawed, &c., prohibition removed. By decree of various dates, during the first half of 1857, the per centage decrease in the rates of duties imposed on certain articles imported in foreign vessels is as follows: on fish, marinated in oil, 74 per cent; crystallized soda, 28; ginger, 10; oil palm, cocoa, &c., from India, beyond French establishments, 72; sulphur, unrefined, 33, refined, 73; flowers of, 82. On wool, combed, dyed, duty changed from ad valorum to specific. (a) Parliamentary Returns. COMPARATIVE TARIFFS, UNITED STATES AND FRANCE AND HER POSSESSIONS. DUTIES ON IMPORTS.

Barley.-The tariff on cereals of all kinds in France is regulated by the average monthly prices of wheat in the standard markets, which markets are divided into four classes, and Which prices are published on the first day of every month by the minister of commerce. When, therefore, wheat is 28 francs, or more, per hectolitre (2 83 bushels) in markets of the first class; 26, or more, in those of the second; 24, or more, in those of the third; and 22, or more, in those of the fourth; then the import duty on barley is 121 centimes (2 33 cents) per hectolitre in each of these markets, and the duty on its flour per 100 kilogrammes (220 pounds) is 80 centimes (5.50 cents) in French vessels and by land. In foreign vessels it is much higher. When wheat is 28, 2t, 19, and 17 francs" respectively, In the four classes, the duty on barley is 2 francs 871 centimcs, (48 9-10 cents,) and on its flour 8 francs 40 centimes, ($157;) and when intermediate prices prevail the duty is proportional. The duty goes on increasing as the price of wheat in the standard markets decreases or cereals become more abundant, and vice versa; and when wheat is less than 22 francs in markets of the first class, less than 20 in those of the second, less than 18 in those of the third, and less than 16 in those of the fourth, per hectolitre, the duty on French vessels and by land increases by 75 centimes (18.80 cents) on each hectolitre of barley by the decrease of each franc in the price of wheat per hectolitre, and by 2 francs 70 centimes (50 cents) on every 100 kilogrammes of flour by the decrease of each franc in thle price of flour per kilogramme. By the French customs calculation, the hectolitre of barley equals 60 kilogrammes, or 188 1-5 pounds. FRANCE AND HER POSSESSIONS-TARIFFS-Continued. DUTIES ON IMPORTS.

The duty goes on incresninlk manner as the pr-ice of wheat decreases, and when wheat is 22 francs, 20, 18, and 16 in the standard markets respectively, then the duty in each of the markets increases by 82'1 centimes (15 35 cents) on eachletlteo corn by the decrease of each franc in the price of the liectolitre of wheat, and by 2.20 francs (40 90 cents) on every kilogramme (2.20 pounds) of meal.

The " High Junt " of the government of the province and city of Malaga has abolished the prohibition of manufactured and other tobacco, by a decree dated July 27, 1854, because, as it is asserted in the decree, " many citizens have been brought into prison for having, with a natural love of gain, tried to obtain, by smuggling this article, a subsistence for their families, whilst the real violators of the customs laws, the buyers, are becoming wealthy." The decree is as follows: ART. 1. From and after the 6th August, 1854, the tobacco lying in the public warehouses shall be sold at prices fixed in a special tariff. ART. 2. From and after the 8th August of the same year, the importation of raw and manufactured tobacco shall be permitted, after having previously paid the duties set down in the following tariff: Number, weight, Rate of duty in Rate of duty in DENOMINATION OF THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF TOBACCO. and measure.

UNDER date of September 29, 1855, an edition of a tariff, applicable to Spain and the Balearic Islands, framed in conformity to tile bases of the law of July 17, 1849, was published in Madrid by royal authority, prepared under direction of the minister of the treasury, to take effect January 1, 1856, embodying all customn-house Iegislation subsequent to Mach 1, 1852, with notes and explanations, and presenting weights and measures, not only in accordance with the system now in force, but also in accordance with the decimal system, in adjacent parallel columns A return from the United States consulate at Cadiz, dated October 3, 1855, an abstract of which is annexed, affords a resume of interest relative to the tariff policy of Spain: " Within the last twelve months, no variation has been made in the commercial system of Spain, its custom-house tariffs or regulations, as respects foreign comlmercoe; and although during that period the Madrid Gazette-the official organ for dromulgating the laws and government dispositions-has published' over twelve hundred decrees, royal orders, &c., not more than four of them have any reference to commercial matters. Spain is the last country in Europe to change her commercial system, or abolish long established monopolies. The reform of the custom-houses and tariffs in this country has always been a task before which every administration has retrograded; and, as if experience has not sufficed to afford conviction of the necessity of a change, no minister who has attained power has had the courage to complete the work commenced in 1849. The law of the 17th of July of that year authorized the government to revise the custom-house tariffs upon bases therein established, admitting certain classes of cotton fabrics; and the royal decree of 5th of October approved in all its parts the new custom-house regimen. In 1850 certain dispositions were made, some of them explanatory, and others reforming the custom-house instructions and tariffs; and in March, 1852, the government published an edition of both, which is the one at present in force. The Sefior Bermudez de Castro, when minister of the treasury, endeavored to relieve the tariff of a number of trifling articles, of very small product to the public revenue, and by a royal decree of the 12th of May, 1853, they were declared of free entry; but by another decree of the 2d of June following, the duties previously levied on a part of these same articles were re-established. Such may be said to be the brief history of the Spanish custom-houses, the complicated legislation of which, so prejudicial to commerce, still exists, and without teaching anything in a liberal sense to those who govern. During the administration of Sefior Collado, as minister of the treasury, there was no decree made relating to foreign commerce, except a royal order of 28th December, 1854, with direction to the.four custom-houses of Corunna, Barcelona, Malaga, and Cadiz, for the admission of French scientific and literary works, in compliance with the convention between Spain and France respecting literary property, to go into effect the 1st of January, 1855. His successor, Sefior Sevillano, made a slight reform in the nomenclature of certain classes of paper, called continuo, for papering habitations and writing-modifying the duties thereon one-fourth, and simplifying a few insignificant articles in the tariff; also, admitting the importation of sulphur, in a crude state, under foreign flags, at 8 reals 45 centimes, and the same article refined, or flour of sulphur, at 12 reals 35 centimes per quintal. Within the short period of one month this minister was succeeded by Sefior Madoz; but in his time nothing was done nor any variation made, except one royal order changing what his predecessor had effected with respect to paper. This order has been criticized by the press, because neither the, rder nor the meaning thereof can be understood or obeyed. Sefior B uEl, the present minister of the treasury, although he has not yet effected any change, appears to be endeavoring to establish a series of radi-al reforms in the various branches of the tariffs and custom-house regulations; moderating the duties on the introduction of raw materials, atnd enlarging the number of those articles not hitherto admitted to commerce. With the views and representations of this minister, to effect these oijects, the Queen's decree of the 30th, and order thereon of the 31st of July of the present year, was issued, establishing a " Junta consultina de aranceles," or a board of consultation in relation to custom-house tariffs, regulations, and all matters relating to imports and exports, with extensive powers, and determining their attributions. The object of this board is declared to be to discuss and propose to the minister of the hacienda all reforms which they may conceive ought to be made in the custom-house tariffs, and to occupy themselves with, and direct all the proceedings which may be found w th respect to the understanding of the same, their appli(ation and modification; as also, with respect to the reclamations of fore;gf powers, and those which ought to be made onl the par! of Spain, with respect to the agreements and treaties of navigation or commnerce, and any,ther affair wh;tever relative to the mercantile legislation.' CHANGEs.-By decrees of various dates, during the first half' of' 1857, the per centage decrease on previous rates on certain articles when imported in foreign vessels may be noted, approximately, as follows:(a) On iron, in bits, padlocks, locks, stirrups, hinges, bolts, knees, &c., 65 per cent.; gilt or plated, vices, jacks, &c., 68; silk, floss, 87; spun or twisted, 62; cotton cloth, gummed, 75; oil, cocoa, and palm, 36. On glass bottles, empty, for re-exportation; cobalt, enamel; canvas, white, silk twist; swords and sabres, all kinds; surgical instruments; razor cases with seven blades and one handle; whips with handles of tortoise shell, &c.; printing types of zinc; slates, polished, above eleven inches; handles of steel, and other fine metals, for sticks, parasols, &c.; and rings of tortoise shell or metal, gilt or plated, previously free, duties have been imposed, and the ad valorem rates on several articles have been raised. (a) See note page 93. SPAIN. 189 CUBA. The tariff is that of 1847, with changes and modifications up to February 1, 1853.(a) JMoney. — dollar = 100 cents = $1 United States currency. Weights and measures generally the same as in Spain. All articles not enumerated in the tariff are subject to the same duties as those to which they are analogous. In virtue of the provisions and regulations of royal orders, Spanish flour, imported in Spanish bottoms, will pay the sole duty of $2 per barrel, and in foreign ships, $6. Foreign flour, imported in foreign ships, will pay $9 50, and in national ships, $8 50 per barrel; and in both cases there shall be paid an extraordinary duty of 2 per cent. on the value thereof, and 1 per cent. on the total amount of the duties. In addition to the 331, the 27k, and the 71 per cent. designated by the tariff as the sole import duty, (in which rates are included the 1 per cent. consulado duty; the 2 per cent. extraordinary duty, by virtue of the royal orders of December 4, 1844; the 2 of 1 per cent. duty devoted to the redemption of the coupons of the Seville presetas,) there shall be collected at all the custom-houses on the island 1 per cent. balanza duty, that is, on the total amount of the duties paid, in accordance with the royal order of November 5, 1824, respecting imports and exports, with the exception only of those goods that have fixed rates, foreign flour not included. By virtue of a royal order, dated November 3, 1850, there was declared on the 19th December of the same year an additional duty of 1. per cent. on valuation of all foreign imports, and 1-7 to be charged over and above the amount up to that time paid on Spanish imports. This increase was to cover certain necessities of the government, and was to be in force two years only. This additional per centage, is, however, still exacted. In the custom-houses of Havana and Matanzas, exclusively, are to be paid 50 cents on each pipe of wine, aguardiente, or liquors introduced; 25 cents on each half pipe; 12 cents on each demijohn; and 12 cents on the dozen flasks, bottles, or jugs; which amount is to cover the duty assigned for the Casa de Beneficienc a. Several cloths in the tariff being assessed by the piece, according to the number of stated yards w,,ich they usually contain, no return of duty will be made for any deficiencies in such quantity, unless it exceeds 6 per cent. on the piece, and the fact be stated at the time of making the entry. Cinnamon and canelon may be sold at public auction in the warehouse of damaged goods, though they may not have been injured, the duty being paid in accordance with the price they bring, unless it exceed the valuation of the tariff, when they will be subject to what it requires. Ale, beer, porter, wines, cordials, spirituous liquors, Cologne water, olives, preserves, sweetmeats, &c., are subject to a deduction of 5 per cent.; bottles, pipes, crystals, demijohns, vials, and articles of china, earthen, and glass ware, &c., to a deduction of 6 per cent.; and jerked beef to a deduction of 14 per cent.

REMARKS. 1. All machines for agricultural purposes, not mentioned in this tariff, provided they are Spanish products and are imp rted Spanish vessels, are free of duty; whilst those of foreign make, or brought in foreign ships, according to the 4th section of the royal order of the 8th of August, 1851, pay 1 per cent. 2. Sacred vessels, ornaments, books of the choir, missals, church organs, and all other articles destined for the direct purpose worship in the churches, are free, if made in Spain and introduced in Spanish vessels, according to the royal order of the 29th of July, 1846; but in such cases the introduction is to be proceeded with by the steps pointed out by the superintendencia, according to its circular of the 28th April, 1851. 3. Military dress, and other like articles for the troops are free of duty, whenever it shall appear, in due form, that they have been manufactured in the kingdom from materials raised or made in it, according to the royal orders communicated to the susperintendencia o the 27th March, 1845, 17th February, 1847, and 4th of February, 1848. (a) The maquina or macuquina currency of the island is silver cut into various forms and shapes, and stamped to represent various fractions of a dollar. In its present mutilated state it takes from $20 to $24 to weigh as much as $16 round money; and the value varies according to the demand for round money to pay custom-house dues and to make remittances to foreign countries A similar currency exists in the Spanish colonies of South America, called nmaquina de ppoalt)te y cruz, or" windmill and cross money," the cross being not unlike the fan of a windmill. The coin was composed of lumps of bullion, gold or silver, flattened and impressed by a hammer, the edge presenting every variety of form except that of a circle, and affording ample Ecope for clipping.'The device was a large cross of equal arms with loaded ends. The date of the coin is about a century since, but some of it bears date as late as 1770. A royal olrder, dated May 5, 1857, published July 27 by the captain general of the island, provides for the entire extinction of the macuquina money, the government exchanging it for Spanish money at a discount of 121 per cent. on the former. The amount in circulation at that date was estimated at $1,500,000, and the expenses of the exchange, recoining, &c., &c., was estimated at about 30 per cent. on that sum, for which loss the government indemnifies itself by at) export duty on produce of the island, commencing August 4, and continuing until the amount is paid off, as follows: On sugar, 6X cents per 100 lbs.; on coffee, 25 cents per 100 lbs.; on tobacco, 873 cents per 100 lbs.; on molasses, 50 cents per cask; on rum, $1 per cask. (b) A circular from the superintendency general of Porto Rico, dated April 5, 1856, gives notice of the following important reductions in the duties on importations: 1. To favor the direct trade between the places of production and Porto Rico, a reduction of 6 per cent. in the duties imposed by t e tariff. 2d. That the fine of two per cent. additional duty, heretofore imposed on all goods coming from St. Thomas that by mistake were wro)gly classed, be abolished. 3d. That the additional duty of 23j per cent., heretofore charged on cargoes of vessels that called at any other port to try the market previous to coming to Porto Rico, be discontinued, provided the vessel does not discharge any part, but comes on with the full cargo, as'originally shipped. 4th. That vessels which bring full cargoes for the deposit stores in this city shall be exempt from the payment of tonnage dues, which will be paid hby the goods when they are entered for consumption, in addition to the import duties imposed by the tariff. 5th. That, to create funds for building new deposit stores, the deposit duty shall be r aised to one per cent. evely 6 months, payable in 24 hours after the deposit is mrade, and in the first 24 hours of the succeeding 6 months, instead of a half per cent., which has heretofore been paid. 192 COMPARATIVE TARIFFS.

DIFFERENTIAL DUTIES, The following explanatory remarks are prefixed to the official publication of the Belgian tariff, July, 1855. Belgium has concluded treaties of commerce and navigation with several foreign nations, which modify the general regulations of the tariff of duties. These modifications are comprehended under three heads: 1. Assimilation of foreign flags to the Belgian flag in respect to the importation of merchandise subject to differential duties. 2. Special reduction of import, export, and transit duties, in respect to certain descriptions of merchandise. 3. Assimilation of foreign flags to the Belgian flag in respect to tonnage duties. Special reduction of import, export, and transit duties, are specified in pages. * * * * * * [These reductions referred to here are regulated by treaty, and equalize the flag of the nations to which they apply, as respects certain descriptions of merchandise, with the Belgian flag.] The assimilation of foreign flags to the Belgian, in respect to the importation of merchandise subject to differential duties, exists in the cases and in respect to the flags specified and designated as follows: 1. Direct importation, by sea, from the country to which the vessel belongs, without regard to the producing country. Flags thus assimilated: Austrian, United States, French, British, Greek, Guatemalian, 3onian, Mexican, Dutch, PeruvianT Pontifical, Sardinian. In respect to the British flag, this assimilation exists, whether the merchandise is imported from the United Kingdom or from the colonial possessions. As regards the Netherlands, it applies to importations by canals and rivers; and, in respect to importations by sea, the Dutch flag is entitled to the deduction of ten per cent. provided for in the artiele of the royal order of February 2, 1852. BEL GIUM. 251 NoTE.-Royal order of February 2, 1852.-Merchandise subject to differential duties by reason of origin, country, whence exported, or flag, enjoy a deduction of ten per cent. if imported by sea in Belgian vessels, unless otherwise provided for by treaty. Direct importation by sea from the country to which the vessel belongs, provided the merchandise is the produce of the same country. Flags thus assimilated: Brazil, Chili, the Two Sicilies, Russia. 2. Importation by sea from any country, provided the merchandise comes under the designation elsewhere, or from other places, in the tariff of differential duties. Flags thus assimilated: Austrian, United States, Pontifical States, French, British, Guatemalian, Ionian, Dutch, Peruvian, and Sardinian. Salt and the produce of the fisheries in all cases, excluded from the assimilation of flags. Nevertheless, rock salt is excepted from this exclusion-1st. When it is imported fiom France in French or British bottoms, provided that, if it is not of French production, it shall be proved by a certificate from the French custom-house that the cargo had been landed at a French port. 2d. When it is imported from the Netherlands in Dutch bottoms, provided the importer shall prove, by a certificate from a Dutch custom-house, that the cargo was received on board in a Dutch port. 3d. When it is imported from the kingdom of Sardinia in Sardinian vessels. In all cases, the admission of salt in foreign bottoms is subject to the general condition applicable to the Belgian flag, namely, that the importation must be made in vessels coming direct from sea and measuring at least 50 tons. In all cases the custom-house officers will require the production of the necessary documents to prove the nationality of vessels, conformably to the requirements of section 80. NoTE.-Section 80.-Besides, in all cases when the vessels of nations are favored by any treaty stipulation, this favor will not apply, unless such vessels are ascertained to belong to such nation, in conformity with the laws and regulations in force, and their nationality be attested by sea letters in the form prescribed, and duly certified by the competent authority of the nation to which the vessel belongs.

The coasting trade is prohibited to foreign vessels. With this exception, equalized vessels enjoy like privileges with those of Holland..National and equalized vessels pay only one-half the rates of duty specified, whether of import or export.

Foreign, not equalized vessels, pay 6 per cent. ad valorem on imports or double duty. Imported goods are not subjected to an exportation duty. All products of the colony, except wood, have to pay an ad valorem duty when exported, viz: in Dutch and equalized vessels to Holland, or its colonies, 5 per cent, ad valorem; in Dutch vessels to foreign places, 74 per cent; in oreign vessels, 10 per cent. Ad valorem duties are calculated on the current prices; or, when unknown, on the invoice valuation; or, if this seems too low, the goods are seized, and the importer is paid 12 per cent. additional. There is no transit duty. Plants, vegetables, and all effects of immigrants, are free. (a) For the tariff of duties for the Island of Java, in full, see Vol. 1, " Digests," p. 2T3.

The tariff is that of October 28, 1850, with the alterations (chiefly affecting manufactures) of June 23, 1854. (a) The Russian government has been compelled to issue two different tariffs by ithe great territorial extent and the geographical situation of the country. One tariff is in force in the whole Russian Empire north of the Black sea, including the kingdom of Poland, and especially in all the ports of the Baltic and White seas; the other comprises the coasts of the Black sea, includieg Transcaucasia. The importation into Kamtschatka is entirely free. JMoney.-I silver ruble = 100 copecs = 75 cents. I copec - 3 cent. Weights and measures.-1 pood = 36.067 lbs. 1 chertwert of grain 5.95 bushels. I oxhoft = 58.428 gallons 3 6 ankers. 1 anker = 9.738 gallons - 18 wedros. 1 wPdro 3.246 gallons. 1 berkowitz or berquet -- 360~ lbs. 1 archine = 28 inches. The tariff of exportation gives the duties on the principal articles of export from Russia to the United States, for the ports of the Baltic and White seas only; there are no duties levied on exports from the ports of the Black sea. The deduction for Tare varies with the character of the goods. The duty is generally levied on net weight. The article on which the duty has been paid is marked in the custom-house before leaving it with stamps of lead, paper, brass, or sealing wax, according to the nature of the goods.

On the 9th of Jnne,(n) 1857, the Emperor of Russia gave his sanction to a new tariff, tile rates of which present material re?.uctions on those of the old. By this tariff, lower duties are levied on merchandise imported by land, or into the Transcaucasian ports of the Black sea, than if imported by sea, or into Russia and Poland. The statement annexed presents the rates on a few articles usually received from the United Sates, the money, weights, and measures not being reduced to the Federal standard. The silver ruble - 100 copecs = 75 cents; the pood -about 36 pounds; the chertwert - nearly 6 bushels; the archine about 28 inches',a already stated. TARIFF OF IMPORTATION.

(b) Alioney.-Mostly paper. The only gold coin is the ducat of the usual weight-976 thousandths fine-125 pieces from a pound of fine gold. The paper money is of two kinds, viz: Banco and Riksgald; the former issued by the national bank; the latter by the Riksgald, or government bank. The banco is reckoned 50 per cent. better than the other. Since 1829, the established rate' has been 2] riksdalers banco to one specie daler, which would make the former equal to about 40 cents American; but it fluctuates in value. The riksdaler may be estimated at 25 cents generally. 1 riksdaler banco = 48 skillings 576 rundstykes - 39% cents, 12 rundstykes = 1 skilling. 48 slillings - I riksdaler banco. 1 riksdaler banco = 393 cents. 1 specie dollar $1 06.

All goods imported in foreign bottoms pay a differential duty of 40 per cernt. izmport duty, and 50 per cent. export duty, unless a reciprocal treaty exists to tile contrary. The United States concluded such a treaty in 1783-renewed and enlarged in 1816 and 1827. Ad valorem entries are calculated on the invoice value, with all charges, expenses, and insurances added. The highest bidder for the goods, within three days, can take them by paying the importer 10 per cent. over the sum bid. Goods damaged by sea are sold by public auction, and the duty on them is paid at the lowest rate realized under the market price. Drawbacks are allowed on refined sugar, tobacco, snuff, cotton textiles of yarn, of' No. 32 and above; paddy and leather, in quantities not less than 100 pounds.

ZOLL VEREIN. lThe tariff is that of January 1, 1854.(a) JMoneys.-In the north, 1 thaler - 30 silbergroschen = 12 pfennigen = $0 69. In the south, 1 florin, or guilder, - 60 kreutzer - $0 40. We' hts and MJleasures.(b)-1 centner = 100 lbs. - 110; lbs. avoirdupois. 1 scheffel = 16 metzen. 100 scheffel 18.901 imperial quarters. 1 ship's last = 375 centner. The Zollverein rests on treaties of the several States named below. The States levy the duties on their frontiers, and receive, with one exception, proportions of the amount collected in the ratio of population, after payment of expenses. Goods under 1-100 centner are not chargeable with duty; and no duty under 6 pfennigen, or I groschen, is levied. The system of export and transit tariffs is somewhat complicated. Duties are levied at the gross weight, or at the net weight, tare being allowed at fixed rates. List of the States at present composing the German Zollverein, since its union with theSteucerverein. The kingdom of Prussia, The Duchy of Nassau, Bavaria, Sachsen Meiningen, Hanover, Sachsen Altenburg, Saxony, Sachsen Coburg-Gotha, Wurtemberg. Anhalt-Bernburg, Cothen and Dessau. The Grand Duchy of Baden, The Principality of Hessen Homburg, Oldenburg, Schwartzburg Rudolstadt, Luxembourg, Schwartzburg Sondershausen, Sachen Weimer-Eisenach, Reuss Greiz, Hessen Darmstadt. Reuss Schleiz and Reuss Lobenstein Ebersdorf. The Electorate of Hessen Cassel. Waldeck. The Duchy of Brunswick, Free town of Frankfort-on-the-Mayn. (a) See note, p. 261. In October, 1856, a few modifications of the tariffs of the Zollverein were made, but in no respect interesting to the United States trade. (b) By virtue of a law of May 17, 1856, the weights hitherto exclusively recognized in the tariff of the States of the Zollverein were adopted as the general standard of weights -n the kingdom of Prussia. 294 COMPARATIVE TARIFF'l AUSTRIA. The tariff is that of 1852, with later changes of December 3, 1853.(a) JMoneys.-l florin, or guilder, = 60 kreutzer = $0 48~. Weights and MJdeasures.-I centner = 100 lbs. = 1104 lbs. avoirdupois.(b) The following tariff applies to the whole of the Austrian empire, with the exception of Styria, the district of the free port Trieste, of Venice, Fiume, Buccari, Porto Re, Zengg, Carlopago, Brody in Galicia; Dalmatia, and the Quarnerian islands. The importation, exportation, and transit of kitchen-salt, gun-powder, tobacco, raw or manufactured, though specified it the tariff, can only be allowed to take place by special permission-the government retaining the monopoly of these articles. The import duty, if not otherwise stated, implies net weight; while the export and transit duties, if not otherwise stated, imply, on the contrary, gross weight. In February and March, 1857, the duties on looms of any motive power for weaving, and on machines for spinning yarn, were removed. SWITZERLAND. The tariff is that of January 1,1352. JMoney. -1 franc = 100 rappen, or centimes, - $0 8.6. Weights and measures.-I centner = -lL lbs. = 1104 avoirdupois Whenever the duty is paid by weight, the gross is understood, without deduction for tare. Export duty.-All articles not named in the nomenclature of the tariff pay 2 cents per 1101 lbs. Transit duty.-Most articles pay one cent per 1104 lbs. for every distance not exceeding 32 English miles; beyond that distance about 6 cents per 1104 lbs.

(a),Money.-1 scudi = 100 bajocchi 3 $1. Weights and M3easures.-I centinajo 100 libra = — 74.86 pounds. 1 rubbio of grain 8.36 bushels. 1 barile of wine = 15.81 gallons. The export tariff has an extended nomenclature. Transit duties are 3 cents on nearly all articles, per 50 miles, each package; per 100 miles, 6 cents; above 100 miles, 9 cents. (a)See Appendix. 39 a 306 COMPARATIVE TARIFFS. APPENDIX. Partial modifications of the customs rates of the Papal States have repeatedly been made since 1850; but, in 1856, a quarto volume, embracing a new tariff, was issued, in which the modifications are general, the decrease or increase on former rates ranging from 10 to 100 per cent. Subjoined is a list of articles, with the corresponding rates of per centage decrease: (a) On glass and glass ware, 16 to 50 per cent.; wares of terra cotta, porcelain, and alabaster, 25 to 50; wares of lead, iron, copper, and zinc, 50; manufactures of silk, linen, cotton and leather, 30 to 70; wearing apparel, 50; straw hats, 40; umbrellas, 33'; files, 33k; blankets, 70; tissues of cotton and flax, 25 to 50; linen or woolen thread, 33; skins, 40 to 50; oils, aromatic or medicinal, 50; quinine, 60; soap, common, 40; sponges, common, 50; acid, nitric, 30; acid, muriatic and sulphuric, 33k; carbonate of amonia, 97; camphinej 95; borax, 50; copper, crude, 10; zinc, in sheets, 40; iron, pig, 50; iron, half refined, 114; gold, wire and sheets, 50; gold, leaf, 87.; silver, wire and sheets, 30-; silver, leaf, 50; meat, salted, smoked, or prepared, 40. On exports, the duty on coarse silk is reduced two-thirds, and on wool and rags four-fifths, while on the export of wine the duty is doubled. By virtue of a law of May 7,1856, a per centage decrease on the rates of 1855, on certain articles, was effected, approximately, as follows: (a) On woolen fabrics, embroidered, 58 per cent.; linen cloth, dyed in the piece, 50; cotton, dyed in the piece, 50; cotton velvet and plush, 25; fabrics, bleached or unbleached, coarse, 33; tulle, 40; window glass, 50; mirrors, large, not silvered, 50; silvered, 40; small, silvered or not, 51; glass wares, polished, 17; ground or cut, 43; wood manufactures, common, 50; fine, and toys, 17. By the same law, on common cotton lace, an increase of 5.67 per cent. on previous rates was imposed. By virtue of a law of March 26, 1857, a per centage decrease on the rates in force in 1856 was effected on certain articles, as follows: On manufactures of wool, also mixed with thread or cotton, in prunellas, velvets, &c., except alpaca, flannel, knitted works, &c., 2 per cent.; cottons of fustians, quilts, and the like, 50; muslins, white, plain, flowered, printed, knitted, and all manufactured goods of the kind not specified, and also embroidered goods, 33; linen goods, white or unbleached, plain, printed, and colored, or knitted, 17; articles of hair, pure or mixed with any material except silk, 50; furs, dressed or undressed, and manufactured, 17 to 70; soap of all sorts, 40; books, bound in cloth or colored cotton, 62. On wearing apparel, new, the duty in force in 1856 was double that of the stuffs of which the clothing was made; in 1857, the duty was reduced to the same as on the stuffs. TWO SICILIES. The tariff is that of 1824, with alterations and modifications down to 1850 (b) JMIoney.-1 ducat = 100 grani = 10 caralli = 80 cents. Weights and AJleasures.(c)-1 cantaro grosso = 192.50 pounds. 1 cantaro sottile - 175 pounds. 1 cantaro - 100 rotoli. 1 rotolo - 1.964 pounds. I canna = 10 palmi = 2.306 yards. 1 botta = 128.878 gallons - pipe. 1 salma grossa of grain = 9.77 bushels. 1 salma generale = 7.85 bushels. 1 salma of wine = 23.06 gallons. As thi weights and measures of the Island of Sicily are larger than those of Naples, above given, a deduction is niade tor every palmo and canna of 2 per cent.; for the bottle, 21 per cent.; for every ounce or pound, I per cent.; for the rotolo and cantaro, I per cent. The flag of the Two Sicilies has a deduction of 10 per cent. on imports, if a higher sum in the tariff has not been provided. The same deduct on is granted, for a direct voyage, to the flags of those countries which have commercial treaties with the Two (a) See note page 93. (b) See note page 261. By virtue of the 1lth article of a treaty concluded between the Two Sicilies and Spain, in 1856, the formergrants to the latter, as a compensation for privileges abandoned enjoyed by the latter, in virtue of a treaty of 1817, important reductions in the customs rates on sugar, coffee, wax, honey, lead, wines, mercury, copper, and salted sardines. To these reductions the United States would seem entitled, under that clause of the treaty with the Two Sicilies of 1846, which provides, that "no higher duties shall be imposed on importations into either count~y, of articles from the otiter, than from any other country," and that " favors granted by either party to other nations shall be common to the other." (c) See vol. 3," Returns," p. 300. SOUTHERN EUROPE. 307 Sicilies. These are the United States,(a) England, Russia, Sardinia, Denmark, Austria, Prussia, the Zollverein, Netherlands, and Belgium. Transit duty.-On every package, 19 cents; on loose goods, (not packed,) 84 cents per 192 pounds. Prohibited list.-Cocoons, (silk;) soda; timber for buildings, except specially permitted. Export duty.-Animals, corn, grain, biscuit, tartar, maccaroni, madder, and a few other articles, only in national vessels, are exempt from duty on exportation. (a) In July, 1851, a convention was agreed upon between the Two Sicilies and the United States, proposed by the latter, and embracing the following points: ist. The reduction of 10 per cent. on the tariff on American produce and mannfactures, on indirect voyages. 2d. Liberty to United States vessels to touch at intermediate ports on their voyages to the ports of the Two Sicilies, without incurring extra duties of import on tonnage. 3d. The abolition of the 40 grains (less than 40 cents) duty on indirect voyages, and the subjection of direct and indirect voyages to an equal duty of 4 grains per ton. The discriminations, therefore, against foreign vessels does not apply to those of the United States. COMPARATIVE TARIFFS. UNITED STATES AND SOUTHERN EUROPE.

The tariff is the la est settled between Great Britain and Turkey, (as given by a British publication on Customs Tariffs of July, 1855,) and applies to the United States by virtue of the treaty with the Ottoman Porte of May 7, 1830, the first article of which declares that " American merchants, who shall conle to the well-defended countries and ports of the Sublime Porte, shall pay the same duties and other imposts that are paid by merchants of the most favored friendly powers." 2. The duty on imports is ad valorem, 3 per cent. on the article landed, which is the actual tariff duty, and 2 per cent. additional when sold, or sent into the interior to be sold; making, in all cases, an aggregate of 5 per cent. ad valorem on all imports, which has, in most instances, been converted into a specific duty by stipulation. 3. The duty on exports, ad valorem, in lieu of, or in commutation of all other internal duties or taxes, is 9 per cent. internal duty on the article for exportation, and 3 per cent. additional, actually exported; making, in all cases, an aggregate of 12 per cent. ad valorem on all exports. 4. These duties are levied according to rates of valuation settled by treaty. The rates which were fixed by the British treaty of 1850 were adopted liberally by France, Austria, the Zollverein and other commercial nations. Russia had a distinct treaty, and is understood not to have entered into any stipulation for the abolition of the internal duties, in lieu of which England and other nations have agreed to pay 9 per cent. on exports. 5. Articles not enumerated are valued at the current prices of the day, 16 per cent. being deducted from such current price for articles of export, and 20 per cent. for articles of import; and if the current price cannot be agreed on, then the duty is levied in kind, 5 per cent. or 12 per cent. of the amount of the article itself being taken for duty. The deductions of 20 and 16 per cent. are applicable to all articles not rated, whether enumerated in the tariff or not. ioney. —3 aspers make 1 para; 40 paras, or 120 aspers, make 1 piastre = 4 cents; 30 aspers = 1 cent.

Copper in bars pays an export duty of 5 per cent. ad valorem. APPENDIX. AN edition of the Customs Tariff, applicable to each year, is annually put forth by the government of Chili, as is done by the governments of some other countries. In these annual editions, although the rate of duty per cent. on the rates of fixed values may remain unchanged, these rates of valuation themselves often sustain material modification. Thus, the rates of duty per cent. in 1853, as well as in 1855, were 25 per cent. and 30 per cent., respectively, on the fixed values; but there was a marked change in those values themselves in the tariff for 1855 compared with those for 1853. The per centage decrease in the rates of duty levied on certain articles of import in 1855 on those levied in 1853, effected by this change in the fixed values, has been noted as follows:(b) On manufactures of cotton, a per centage decrease of from 5 to 36 per cent., according to the character and quality of the articles specified; on those of linen, from 10 to 25; on thjose of silk, from 7 to 21; on those of wool, from 8 to 25; on hardware, from 12 to 20; on spermaceti candles, 11; on porcelain cups and saucers, 12; on leather, kid, shoe, cut, or prepared, 12; on Morocco leather, 20; on salt, refined, in barrels or bags, 33. On a few articles of hardware end linen there appears an increase of duty; also on sheep's wool, unwashed, 25 per cent.; on tallow candles, 6; on earthenware, 11 to 12; on oil, whale, linseed, rapeseed, &c., 7; on rice, 17; on coffee, 25; on soap, common, in bars, 20; and on better qualities of soaps, in any form, 28.

The duties are calculated upon the wholesale market prices, by inspectors, assisted by appraisers. Should any article consist of two or more materials which have different duties assigned to them by this tariff, the highest duty is levied. The inspectors are assisted by appraisers for the valuation of such articles as are intended for consumption; the inspectors of liquids and provisions, by one appraiser who is conversant with these articles; the three inspectors of manufactured articles are each accompanied by two appraisers, one of whcmn must be conversant with the price of manufactured goods in general, and the other with the value of hardware. The appraisers attend daily to despatch the artic'es, and conjointly with the inspector, and in presence of the interested party, fix the valuation, which is noted by the inspector. The appraisers attend on the following day, at the office of the inspector, to revise the valuation made on the preceding day, at which the interested party may attend; and the manifest being signed by the inspector and the appraisers, and the date having been appended, the inspector submits it to the collector general for his immediate inspection. Should any difference, exceeding 10 per cert. on the valuation, arise between the inspector and the interested party, thjee import merchants decide thereon before the collector of customs.;oms. The merchant arbitrators, when once met, must decide before separating, and their decision is carried into effect without appeal. When the amount of duty exceeds one thousand dollars, the merchants accept bills for the payment of equal instalnlments at the peremptory terms of three and six months. No one indebted to the custom-house after the expiration of the latter term is admitted to transact business in the office. The alterations made by the present tariff, in the impFort and export duties, came into effect from and after the 1st of January, 1854. The government has raised the dut es on manufactured silks to 12 per cent., and those on woollen and cotton cloths to 12 per cent. TARIFF OF EXPORTATION.

(a) See note page 820. 466 COMPARATIVE TARIFFS Comparative statements, exhibiting the quantities and values of staple United States into the principal commercial countries, together with the amounts of duties aid thereon, during the commercial years 1851, 1852, a 1853. APPROXIMATION to statistical accuracy can alone be expected in statements like these. They partake, indeed, of the character of estimates rather than of statistics. The data on which they are based, consisting of quantities and values contained in the annual reports of the Treasury Department on commerce and navigation, cannot be deemed, in all cases, reliable, or rather, in many cases, they are not available as a basis for exhibiting, with anything like accuracy, the export trade in our leading staples, so as to estimate the duties charged thereon in foreign countries. In many instances quantities of articles exported are given withoat corresponding values; in others, values are given without corresponding quantities, and the values attached to the same description of articles, in the same column, are observed frequently to vary, and often to a remarkable degree. Thus, under the general caption "wood," we find given in distinct columns the quantity of each of the specific articles"Staves and heading," "shingles," "boards, plank and scantling and hewn tiber"-thoug the values are aggregated into one, while, under the same caption, the individual value of each of the articles, other lumber"- masts and spars," oak bark and other dye," and all manufactures of wood-is given in separate columns, naccompanied by the quantity of either. So, the separate quantities of "tar and pitch," "rosin and turpentine," are given while the values are combined; so of beef, " tallow," "hides," and "' horned cattle;" eo of " butter and cheese;" so of pork," hams and other bacon;" lard," and "hogs;" so (as to numbers) of" horses and mules;" so of" tallow candles and soap;" so of snuff" and tobacco manufactured;" so of" leather," and "boots and shoes," the pounds of leather and the number of pairs of boots and shoes being given, while the values of all are aggregated; so of "iron, and manufactures of," the quantities of pig" and bar" iron, and of "nails," being given distinct and in separate columns, while the values are given in the aggregate in one. The articles of "beer, ale, porter, and cider," occupy two columns, one for quantity, the other for value, when it would seem that each liquor should have two for itself. Among articles of which the value is given without quantity, quality, or number, by which alone, in many instances, the duties paid foreign countries on the articles respectively could be estimated, may be instanced, molasses, vinegar, linseed oil, coaches and carriages, hats, all manufactures of cotton, flax and hemp; and, generally, all manufactured articles whatsoever. As regards the last named articles, it might not, in all instances, be important to know, or practicable to discover and state the exact numbers or quantities; but it would seem otherwise, as regards the article of the "1manufactures of cotton," while the quantity, as well as the value of cottons, " printed or colored, " I" uncolored, " " Itwist yarn and thread, " and I" other manufactures of," would afford data, often indispensable, in commercial estimates and calculations, especially those relating to the duties paid upon them under foreign tariffs. (a) A single example will demonstrate the importance of having the quantity as well as the value of each article of export returned by the collectors of customs to the Treasury Department: in the table of exports to Venezuela for 1853, rosin and turpentine are found at the head of a column over the quantity 1,550 barrels. It is impossible to determine how many barrels of the one and how many barrels of the other article entered into this aggregate. And yet, in estimating the duties paid, the knowledge is very material; for, if the aggregate were all rosin, it would have entered the ports of Venezuela free, whereas if it were all turpentine, the duty would have been $967 50. Two examples which meet the eye on opening "1Commerce and Navigation," for two different years, will illustrate the assertion that the values attached to the same description of articles in the same column are often observed to vary to a remarkable extent. Thus, in 1854, we find cotton exported to Cuba at less than three cents per pound, whilst we have the very same description of cotton, and in the very same column, sent to Mexico at 104 cents per pound! In 1852, we find 29,301,928 pounds of cotton exported to Spain at an aggregate value of $570,195, giving less than two cents per pound; and yet, we learn from the Report on the Finances for the same year that the average price of cotton exported in 1852 was 8.05 cents per pound, end the fact is substantiated by calculations based on the quantities and values of the article exported to other countries natned in the same column of "1Commerce and Navigation" for the same year. Once more: articles are sometimes enumerated in "1Commerce and Navigation" as exported to countries into which, by their tariff regulations, they are forbidden entrance. For instance, in 1851, we find 273 barrels of beef, valued at $2,180, exported to Mexico, and 503,534 pounds of lard, the value of which latter article is unknown-the value of lard being merged into the aggregate value of pork, hams and other bacon, and hogs, in "1Commerce and Navigation." In 1852 there were exported 35 barrels 1 ofbefvaue at $64 an 4,44 ponds of- I- lrd;I in 1853,I ) III 1391 17 - pond of -3 —Lard. - Yet,7-. by th tariff of Mexico,- each DUTIESON STAPLE PRODUCTS, ETC. 467 cally unimportant, yet serve to indicate an bsence of accuracy in custom-house' returns, deserving, perhaps, the slight notice here bestowed. It is not within the scope of these remarks, which are designed only to present facts to account for the absence of statistical exactness in the t abular statements which they introduce, to submit a cause for the inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and discrepancies thus noticed in the official Reports on Commerce and Navigation for the years specified, and much less to suggest a remedy. The act of Congress which requires the Register of the Treasury annually to prepare statistical accounts of the commerce of he United States with foreign countries is that approved February 10, 1820, entitled " An act to provide for obtaininguaccurate statements of the commerce of the United States." By the third section of this act, it is required, "that the kinds, quantities and values of all articles imported, shall be distinctly stated in such accounts." If the section stopped here, there could certainlyarisenocomplaintastoquantiteswithoutvalues, and values without quantities." But it proceeds, "except in cases in which it may appear to the Secretary of the Treasury, that separate statements of the species, quantities, or values, of any particular articles, would swell the annual statements without utility; and, in such cases, the kinds and total values of such articles shall be stated together, or in such classes as the Secretary of the Treasury may think fit." That there are " cases" such as are thus provided for is unquestionable; but it is submitted whether a schedule of merchandise adopted for the object in question some thirty or forty years ago may not be deemed susceptible of modification and improvement.(a) As for the absence of uniformity., consistency, or correctness in the statements of the values, quantities, or destination of articles exported from the United States, it is by no means easy to determine a probable cause. The eleventh section of the act of 1820, already referred to, provides for these matters fully and distinctly. It declares that before a clearance shall be granted for any vessel bound to a foreign place, the owners, shippers, or consignors of the cargo on board of such vessel, shall deliver to the collector manifests of the cargo, or the parts thereof, shipped by them, respectively, and shall verify the same by oath or affimation; and such manifests shall specify the kinds and quantites of the articles shipped by them, respectively, and the value of the total quantity of each kind of articles; and such oath or affirmation shall state that such manifest contains a full, just, and true account of all articles laden on board of such vessel by the owners, shippers, or consignors, respectively, and that the values of such are truly stated according to their actual cost, or the values which they truly bear at the port and time of exportion; and before a clearance shall be granted for any such vessel, the master of every such vessel, and the owners, shippers, and consignors of the cargo shall state, upon oath or affirmation to the collector, the foreign place or country in which such cargo is truly intended to be landed; and the said oaths or affirmation shall be taken and subscribed in writing." How requirements so stringent as these could be eluded, except through gross delinquency or negligence on the part of those in office, or of fraud and perjury on the part of shippers, seems difficult to imagine. That they have been infringed, however, is unquestionably the fact. The attention of the Treasury Department has more than once been drawn to a disregard of the law in many particulars; and special circulars have been addressed to collectors of customs with a view to remedy -tbe evilI and arrest the wrong. In 1847, for example, Mr. Secretary Walker, perceiving the palpable disparity between the quantities and values of staple products exported to one particular country, (Mexico,) addressed such a circular to collectors of customs, in which, after assuming a probable cause for the omission, to wit: that the articles had been exported for the use of the United States army, then in that country, adds: "It is desirable that this omission be supplied, as it (the item of export omitted) properly forms a part of the industry of the country, and should find a place in the tables of commerce and naviration." The valuations, especially, seem not, therefore, fixed even by the vacillating prices-current of the day in the different markets, but vary with the estimates of the consignors or shippers. To this fact, in connexion with others, is attributable, probably, that remarkable discrepancy which is detected between United States official reports of the values of articles, especially of our staples, exported to foreign countries, and the official statements of these countries themselves of the values of the same articles received at their ports from the United States. (b) Similar discrepancies in quantities stated are, also, frequently observable. Thus, in 1851, according to official statements of Cuba, 2,10241 barrels of United States flour were imported into that island; whereas, by the United States statement, the quantity is given at 5,511 barrels. (c) The following table will more fully illustrate these discrepancies as respects the island of Cuba: (a) As already stated such modification and improvement was being made in the Treasury Department, unknown to the Department of State, at the very time the above was penned; as appears by "1Commerce and Navigation for 1855. "1 (b) Ths very tight penalty prescribed for failing to deliver manifests at tbe parts of departure in the United States, together with the absence of the rigid scrutiny to which imparts are subjected, may suggest some explanation of these discrepancies. (c) It may be, however, that the exports of one year, as they appear in Commerce and Navigation, are not inserted in the Cuban "nalanza"l until the following year; or that, instead of proceeding to the port of original destination captains, in obedience to private orders, sail thence, or even directly, for "4a market." These suppositions, however, even if wvell founded, afford but little aid in arriving at accurate comparisons. 468 COMPARATIVE TARIFFS.

The variance in the values placed on these articles and others by the official estimates of the United States and Cuba, respectively, does not, however, affect the calculations of duties paid on the same, inasmuch as the rates of the Cuban tariff are almost invariably per cent. on a fixed valuation. The duty on rice, for example, imported nder a foreign flag, is 33- per cent. on a fixed valuation of $1 25o per arroba of 25 pounds 7 ounces, and 231 per cent. on the same valuation and quantity when introduced under the national flag. This staple, however, as well as all others of United States production, is almost invariably imported in United States vessels, rendering a consideration of the lesser duty in the differential scale of that island unnecessary in the calculation of duties-. In ascertaining the amount of duties levied under the tariffs of other nations that have adopted the ad valorem principle, as applicable either to general or special imports, the valuation aot being fixed, but fluctuating with invoices and prices current, discrepancies between the amounts thus obtained and those obtained under -the United States valuation are strikingly manifest; and even when the value is fixed the discrepancy is often extraordinary and unaccountable, as may be seen in the following statement Comparative statement, exhibiting the amounts of duties paid on certain staple products ex'ported from the United States and imported into Cuba in 185 1, as shown by official authoritie's Qf Cuba, and as calculated upon the quantities and values given by those of the United States.

The same may he said relative to the commercial statistics of Chili, a decree having been passed by the Chilian government in 1843, providing for the establishmest of a statistical board, since which period full returns have been regularly published, under the title of Estadistic a Cornercial de la Republica de Chile; and yet, figures copied from these publications(c) and from the United States Treasury reports cn commerce and navigation, when arranged in comparison with each other, present astounding results, as follows (a) From this should be deducted $1,699, the amount of cotton manuftctures exported from the United States to Peru during this year, reducing the discrepancy to e5T,305 87,1. (b) Although this article is registered in the offi cial Balanza of Peru, direct from the United States, it is proper to remark, that it may have been deposited or sold by whalers on a cruise, and not have come direct from the United States. But this is mere conjecture. The great distance between the United States and Peru and the voyage arouwsd the cape to the ports of that repuhlic, usually taking from 4 to 6 months, would afford a more satisfactory explanation of these discrepancies, if they were not found to run thorough a series of several consecutive years without much variation either as to aggregate or average results.

The official "- Tableau General du Commerce de la France for 1855 is at hand. On turning to the article tobacco, the quantity imported into France that year from the United States is found to e considerably over 29,368,400 pounds, at an actual value of $2,678,397, (the official value is more than double this sum,) whilst the United States official report for the same year gives only 18,672,000 pounds, at a value of $1,240,872, showing a difference between the two authorities, in quantity, of 10,696,400 pounds, and in value, of 1,437,525! The discrepancy in the article of rice is, in the quantity, upwards of 900,000 pounds, and in the value, $98,432! It would seem, also, that the discrepancies between the official reports of France and the United States, for any given year, are even more palpable and extraordinary, as regards the imports fro France into the United States, than those which are observed in the exports from the United States to France. From an official report recently published in that country, the value of imports into the United States from France are stated to exceed by 80,000,000 francs that given by the United States official report for the same year. It is possible that products of Switzerland, Belgium, and other countries bordering on France, which pass through its territories in transit for the United States, may be included in the French official tables of export to this, country; but this is barely possible, inasmuch as separate tables and distinct columns are invariably devoted to this branch of trade in th-e French reports. Besides, we find in "ICommerce and Navigation," for several years, separate tables giving the "1indirect trade," and designating the ports through which such products reach the United States. A comparison between the enormous discrepancy just noticed and the quantities or values reaching the United States or the countries above named, vie France, would render this possibility even more remote. A comparison of the official returns of trade between the United States and Great Britain, as given in the official reports of the two governments, respectively, exhibits, with respect to many important articles, a similar state of facts. Thus, the British returns of trade for 1853 show 1,870,592 bushels of Indian corn imported from the United States that year, whilst the Treasury Report of the la~ter country states the quantity at 1,653,840 bushels. In the article of flour, the discrepancy amounts to 326,075 barrels, and in the article of cotton, to 110,144,690 pounds, (the excess appearing in the United States Treasury Report,) whilst the discrepancy in the total value of exports to Great Britain from the United Slates for the same year, as appears on a comparison of the official returns of the two nations, amounts to the enormous sum of $15,991,339! An examination of the official returns of the trade of Belgium, Spain,(a) and other countries in Europe, leads to the same results; but it is deemed unnecessary to multiply examples, those already cited being deemed sufficient to explain and account (a) Returns of trade between Spain and the United States far 1846, as per Spanish efficial reports, exhibit the following figures: imparts from United States..$..................................................... 245, 851 Exports to United Slates...............................................I..........982, 962 Total trade.......................................................1,228,31,3 Unitd Sttes etuns e trae bewee Spai and Unite States duig-h4 sm- ya4hu taeth igrs DUTIES ON STAPLE PRODUCTS, ETC. 471 for any variations from the exact returns of trade with any particular country, should this ever be ascertained, which may be discovered in the statements given. It is impossible to hazard even a conjecture, beyond that already suggested, as to the real cause of these numerous and manifest discrepancies between the official statements, both as respects quantities and values, of the exporting and importing countries. And, in addition to the suggestions just alluded to, it may be further observed that the facts have not been overlooked or lost sight of, that foreign imports to the United States bear their home values in our estimates; whilst United States imports, into most foreign countries, bear the values which they there sustain in their official reports; nor, that the commercial years of different countries do not always coincide in point of time, commencing and closing at the same period. But, these facts duly considered, the discrepancies in estimated value still remain quite inexplicable, whilst those in quantity are wholly unaffected. The circular of Mr. Secretary Walker relative to under valuation of exports has already been referred to. The following extract from a circular issued by the same gentleman, (December 18, 1849,) in reference to the palpable under-valuation(a) of imports, may throw some light on the subject of these discrepancies, if it does not suggest the proper remedy. "The department is apprized, from authentic sources, of a system, or practice, pursued by foreign shipers of merchandise, leading to impsitions and frauds upon the revenue in the assessment of duties in our ports. "The system or practice referred to consists in the preparation and transmission of double invoices of the identical goods embraced in the importation, with a material variation between the two invoices as to the cost or foreign market value of the same goods." The double invoices," designed to defraud the United States revenue by under-valuing imports at the United States custom houses, exhibits a degree of dishonest ingenuity on the part of importers that may cast some slight suspicion on the genuineness of the documents w ich accompany their merchandise when they become exporters. In a later report from the Treasury Department, namely: the Report on the Finances for 1854, page 20, the Secretary of the Treasury says: "There seems to be no express provision in any act of Congress * * * making it a felony to make false entries in the collector's books, or return false accounts to the treasury. * * * There has been no revision of the revenue laws since the enactment of 1789. The necessity of a revision is respectfully urged upon the consideration of Congress." Several cases of fraud on the part of collectors, amounting in the aggregate to nearly $200,000, have of late been detected by the Treasury Department, the particulars of which have been communicated to Congress by the head of that department. (b) But the only object these remarks have in view is to explain the difficulties, from what cause soever they may arise, in arriving at anything more in these comparative statements than well considered estimates, from the data to which access can be had. Whether the system under which this data is obtained is susceptible of improvement is not a question properly coming within the sphere of duties assigned to this office. A few suggestions, however, are respectfully submitted. In order to arrive at substantial agreement between the tables of different countries, there should be a conformity between them as to thefollowing particulars:. A more exact ascertainment of quantities and values of exports from each. 2. The article exported by one should be taken into account of the other, as of the date of export in which case corrections would result from losses at sea. 3. There should be a uniform mode of reporting the indirect trade-that is to say, no country should export, as exports of its own, the products of other countries merely passing through its territories for export. So, also, of imports, none should be entered as of the country in which received when merely for transit through to other countries. To these may be added a more exact observance, at the custom-houses, of existing laws, as well as the adoption by Congress of such general reforms in the revenue laws of the country as have already been submitted for its consideration by the head of the Treasury Department. The general subject of the valuation of exports and imports in annual official statements of foreign trade has recently receivee attention from the government of Great Britain. Prior to 1854,(c) and down to that year, the annual returns of the foreign (a) The following statement of imports of guano from Peru, as given in Reports on Commerce and Navigation for the years designated, presents a most extraordinary case of this under valuation: Imports of guano into the United States from Peru.

The only exeeption to this rule was the domestic exports, or exports of the produce of the United Kingdom, of which, for many years, both the " official" or legal value, and the "real," declared, or estimated value, had been returned, the official value having been retained for the only purpose for which it can be viewed as at all valuable, comparison with the statements of prior and subsequent years. The "real value" now returned is based on actual current prices, and the estimates are made by an officer appointed for the special purpose at London and at Liverpool-the average annual prices fixed for the valuations being principally those of the markets of those cities-who are aided in their task by merchants, brokers, and chambers of commerce. The "official value," by the ancient standard, is also returned. The disparity between the values thus stated is striking, though less so in the aggregate value returned than in that of individual articles, or particular classes of articles, as may be perceived by the following statements: The new computed real value of the total imports into the United Kingdom in 1854 was.................... ~152,591,513 The old official value................................................................................. 124, 338, 478 Showing an excess of real value, or an increase of value, between 1694 and 1854 of nearly 23 per cent., or..... 28,253,035 While it has been estimated that the average increase in the value of wool, wine, brandy, flaxseed, butter, and tallow, each, is about 300 per cent.; in wood, timber, deals, and staves 510 per cent.; and in corn and flour 114 per cent. The official value of coffee, on the contrary, imported into the United Kingdom, in 1854, exceeds the actual value 164 per cent.; tea exceeds the value 55 per cent.; cotton manufactures exceed the actual value 50 per cent.; and raw cotton exceeds the actual value 42 per cent. Thus, articles of wood are worth more than five tines as i, ach now as they were a century and a half ago; wool, wine, brandy, butter, and tallow about three times as much; breadstufl. more than as much again; while coffee, in 1694, was worth nearly twice as much as in ] 854; tea more than one-half as much again; cotton manufactures half as much again; and raw cotton nearly half as much again.

The staple products of the United States exported have alone been considered in these Comparative Statements. How large a proportion of the aggregate exports of domestic products these staples constitute may be inferred from the following recapitulation. The average value of the staple products enumerated in the tables exported to thirteen of the principal commercial countries during the fiscal years 1851, ]852 and 1853 was $130,871,677. The average value of domestic exports not enumerated in the tables, exported to the same countries, during the same years, was $42,030,311. The average value of ell domestic products exported to the same countries the same year was $172,901,988. The average value of ell domestic products exported to all foreign countries for the same three years was $200,825,466, leaving DUTIES ON STAPLE PRODUCTS, ETC. 473 The same premises give the amount of duties paid on the $127,923,481 exported to the residue of the world at $6,509,796 and the amount paid on the $200,825,466 of all the domestic products exported to all countries at $46,763,390. But this estimate is evidently too large, inasmuch as the duties levied by foreign tariffs on the articles enumerated in the tables are, generally, far higher than those which are not enumerated. The revenue derived from Great Britain for tobacco, for example, exceeds that derived from all other exports of the United States to that nation; while tobacco and breadstuffs, two of our heaviest domestic exports, are subjected by the tariffs of each of the countries specified to higher duties than are almost any of our minor domestic exports. No country has been admitted into these Comparative Statements the aggregate of whose annual trade with the United States is less than five millions of dollars. The only countries to which the export of other domestic products exceeds that of the staples enumerated in the tables are Cuba, China, Mexico, Chili, and Venezuela; while in Venezuela, in 1852 and 1853, the staples were in excess, and in Mexico in 1852. The average excess in the value of the articles not enumerated in the tables over those enumerated exported to those countries, the commercial years 1851, 1852, and 1853, was as follows: Cuba, $294,946; China, $2,485,532; Mexico, $353,329; Chili, $658,952; Venezuela, $123,965. In all the other countries named in the tables the average value of the enumerated articles for the same three years is greatly in excess over those not enumerated; in Belgium amounting to S2,577,753, and in Holland to $1,819,115; while the excess of the total average value of the staple exports over that of the other domestic exports, for the three years specified amounts to $,88,841,366. There are some articles which, though found in the list of ~staple products of the United States, yet sometimes enter our ports as the produce of foreign countries. This anomaly is illustrated by the following statement, which gives the values of such articles, together with the duties accruing to the United States on the same as, also, the aggregate value of articles the produce of the United States brought back. 60 03 474 COMPARATIVE TARIFF Comparative statement exhibiting the values of certain articles, staple products of the United States, the produce of foreign countries imported into the United States; together with the amount of duties paid thereon during the commercial years 1851, 1852, and 1853, respectively. 1551. 153 STAPLE PRO DUCTS.

DUTIES ON STAPLE PRODUCTS, ETC. 481 By the preceding comparative statement it will be perceived that spermaceti, in 1830, does not appear in the list of exports in the United States treasury returns, while in 1855 the exports of this article amount to $45,411. It was, however, probably embraced under the general title spermceti oil, which from $38,618, at that od, has now increased to $1,593,832. Cotton duck does not appear as a staple manufacture until within the past few years. The value of this article exported in 1855 was $113,336.(a) Bags and other manufactures of hemp, in 1830 an article of inconsiderable importance even for. home consumption, has become quite important as a staple export, the value exported in 1855 being $34,002. Earthen and stone ware may now be classed among our prominent exports, having risen from $2,773 in 1830, to upwards o, $30,000 in 1855, or nearly 1,500 per cent. Articles made of India rubber have been added to our staple manufactures within the past few years. For the first time they appear in Commerce and Navigation" for 1855; the exports of this class of goods during that year amount, in the aggregate, to. 1,409,107. Ice, coal, and quicksilver have also been added to our domestic exports, and will, doubtless, ere long rank in the class to which they respectively belong as leading export staples. Flax seed has dwindled down from $180,973 in 1830, 6,000 in 1855, and even to $4,000 five years before; whilst linseed oil, appearing within a few years, amounted to nearly,000 in 1855. Clover seed appears for the first time in 1855, and at the respectable figure of $13,570; whilst indigo totally disappears from our export tables, and is not found in our Treasury Reports even as an article of domestic produce. (b) Molasses and vinegar have grown up, from ere experimental essays at production for home consumption, to staples that promise soon to occupy a prominent rank amog our domestic exports, the former article having risen from less than $4,000 in 1830, to nearl $190,000 in 1855; whilst salt, salted provisions, lard, butter, cheese, leather, and the varios manufactures thereof, have already taken rank among our prominent staple manufactured exports. The article onions appears for the first time in 1855 as an export, and to the large amount of $64,496 lard oil to that of $82,945; while the article oil cake" appears, also, for the first time, and at the enormous figure of $739,589.(c) It will be observed that the appearnce of this staple in the official report is simultaneous with the increase in the exportation of linseed oil, and the gradual disappearance of flax seed from the tables. If we compare the value of the domestic exports of the United States in 1830 with that of the same in 1855 as arranged in classes, we find results of a similar character as when they are considered individually and in detail, as is exhibited by the following table Classes of domestic exports. 1830. 1855.

Some articles, the product, and most articles, the manufactures of the United States, which are exported in large quantities are not embraced in these comparative statemn nts of exports and duties, for two reasons 1 st. Because they can scarcely be classed as staple products; and 2d. Because the rates of duties levied upon these articles under the tariffs of most foreign nations vary with the specific character of the manufactures to such an extent that it would be impossible to calculate the aggregates of duties on each, unless the quantities and values of each particular species of merchandise were specified, which is not the case. Yet, were these quantities and values known, each species of manufacture might properly demand a table for itself of considerable extent, far too extended, at any rate, to be reduced into the succinct form required by a tabular summary like the present.: The following comparative statement exhibits the values of certain articles, chiefly of manufactures of the United States, exported the years specified, on which, for the reasons named, it was found impracticable to calculate the duties paid: (a) Heretofore, thts article has been supptied not enty to the East Indta and North American cotonies by the mother country, but to Cuba and most of the South American repubites. In alt these markets American cotton duck ts now finding considerabie favor; and it is a significant fa,,t that the largest sates have been effected in the very markets in which England has heretofore enjoyed a complete monopoly.

ChanL es in the tariffs of foreign nations are also of frequent occurrence, even within a period so brief as that embraced in the statements, (although, with the exception of Belgium, Mexico, Chili, Holland, and Cuba, the rates of duty on the staple exports of the United States have been found quite the same under the tariffs in force in 1855, as under tbose in force in 1851, 1852, and 1853,) and minute discriminations of duty on the same articles, differing from each ether only by shades of character, quality and value, as already mentioned, constantly occur. The rates of duty on the staple products are, moreover, not always clearly defined in the respective tariffs of foreign nations, even although the importations of the articles may be of considerable value ano amount. It is also to be taken into consideration, in making up statements or estimates like these, as already intimated in treating of Cuba, that the tariffs of some nations levy heavier duties on goods imported in foreign than in national vessels, or in vessels equalized by the effect of reciprocal treaties; also, that some states, under distinct and separate sovereignties, or united for govermental purposes only, yet grouped in the statements of the annual reportstof the Treasury Department on commerce and navigation, under a single name, levy, under their respective tariffs, different rates of duty on the same description of merchandise, although the quantities and values of such merchandise are aggregated and placed to the general name. Thus, the empire of Hayti and the Dominican republic, both on the island of St. Domingo, have commercial laws and tariffs totally different; and the Hanse Towns, embracing Hamburg, Bremen, and Lubeck, have each different rates of duty on imports; yet the quantities and values of these imports are grouped in the official reports of exports of the United States, and placed to Hayti(a) only, in the one instance, and to the Hanse Towns in the other; so that it is impossible, from these reports, to gather the amount and value which went to each of the states respectively, and which sould bear particular rates. The Zollverein, or customs union of the German states, has not been considered in these statements, although receiving, no doubt, a sufficient amount of the staple products of the United States to be ranked among the principal commercial couutries, owing to the impossibility of learning the quantities and values of the same for the years specified. It is only sin ce the year 1851 that the name of this customs union has appeared at all in the annual report of the Treasury Department on commercb and navigation, and even then, and since then, only the imports from that commercial confederation are given in a statement of "indirect trade" of the United States-the Zollverein, Austria, and Switzerland being grouped. In the Treasury Report for 1854 this statement did not appear. There may exist insurmountable obstacles to obtaining the exact amount of domestic exports of the United States to this commereial union; bnt the importance of its trade to this country, and its rapid increase, may be inferred from the facts that the value of imports into New York, the produce and manufacture of the Zollverein, through the ports of Bremen, Hamburg, Belgium, Holland, England, and France, were as follows, the years specified: in 1851, $l3,575,405; in 1852, $9,357,194; in 1853, $9,848,108; in 1854, no statement; in 1855, $12,835,530. Man y of the suggestions relative to the Zollverein are not inapplicable to Switzerland. Prussia appears in the catalogue of countries found in the report, and has Qlways appeared there; but the exhibits of the trade with that state could, of course, furnish no adequate data from which to estimate the values of exports from the United States to the German commercial confederation. The calculations required in making up these comparative statements have been, generally, intricate and numerous, thie process necessary in obtaining each result involving little less than the solution of a problem; although, like the data from which they are wrought, and upon which they are based, the results of these calculations, from the nature of the case, partake, as observed at the commencement of these remarks, as much the character of well considered estimates As of exact and reliable statistics. (a) The preper separation as respects these two states, Hayti and the Dominican republic, as well as of -the Hanse Towns and other countries, has, it is perceived, heen made in the Treasury Report on commerce and navigation for 1855, and constitutes one of the prominent improvements in that report over all its predecessors.

(b) The duties are calculated on pitch, viz: 84 cts. per quintal. The duty on tar is only 17 cents per quintal. (c)The value of cotton exported to Spain in 1852 is given by "Commerce and Navigation" for that year at $578,195. This is probably an error. The average cost of cotton per pound in 1852 is estimated at 8.05 cents; and, at this rate, the 29,801,928 pounds exported would amount in value to $2,358,805, as given in the table.
