Excerpt from The Foreign Commerce of the United States: For Comparative Periods Under the Old and New Tariffs During these eleven months, the portion of merchandise admitted free of duty was 47.78 percent, of the total imports, while for the corresponding months of the prior years the proportion of merchandise admitted free of duty was 34.27 percent., an increase of 13.51 in the percentage of free goods imported under the new tariff. This is the greatest in amount and percentage of merchandise admitted free of duty in the history of our foreign commerce during any similar period. The value of imports of merchandise free of duty during the fiscal year 1890 was $265,668,629, the largest in any year in the history of our commerce. In 1889 the value of imports of free goods was $256,487,078. In comparison with these entire years, it will be observed that the value of imports of free merchandise for the first eleven months, under the new tariff, was $98,992,707 greater than for the year 1890, and $108,174,258 greater than for the year 1889. It should also be considered that sugar, one of the principal articles of imports, both in quantity and in value, was not admitted free of duty until April 1, 1891, and from that date the value as well as the percentage of merchandise admitted free of duty has been greatly increased. This will be seen if comparison be made of the imports of merchandise for the five months since April 1, 1891, with the corresponding period of 1890. The value of the imports of merchandise for the five months from April 1 to August 31, 1891, was $359,725,209, of which $200,533,497, or 55.75 percent., was free of duty, much the largest percent, in the imports of merchandise free of duty in the entire history of the Government. During the corresponding five months of 1890 the value of the imports of merchandise was $356,234,866, of which $118,521,444, or only 33.27 percent., was free. This shows an increase in the value of free merchandise of $82,012,053, and of 22.48 in the percentage thereof, during the five months ending August 31, 1891, over the corresponding period of 1890. The articles of free merchandise upon which there was such an increase are largely those not produced in this country, necessities which daily enter into the consumption of the people, such as sugar, coffee, crude India rubber, chemicals, drugs, etc., hides and skins, fruits, nuts, etc. Dutiable Imports Under The New Tariff.
