Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Exports and Imports, as Showing the Relative Advancement of Every Nation in Wealth, Strength, and Independence The September number of Hunts Merchants Magazine contains some very interesting statistics in regard to the commerce of Great Britain. It seems that England imports annually, to feed her population, grain and produce to the amount of over $12,000,000, Of this food, a large part is exported in the shape of cotton cloth, the export of which, in 1857, reached near to 2,000,000,000 yards, valued at about $140,000,000. First on the list stands the East Indies, then Brazil, then the United States, then Turkey, and then China. The United States seems to be in rather odd company, two of these nations being Pagan and half civilized, one Mahommedan and fast going to decay, and the fourth not much advanced beyond either of the others. England has persuaded them, however, as well as ourselves, of the admirable working of free ™ and we find ourselves standing high on the list. We may hope to rival Brazil, but can hardly expect to come up to the East Indies, which are entirely under English control.
