Chief Crazy Snake, kader of
port says in part:
“The fiscal year 1900 brought to a
close a century of marvelous develop-
ment in the history of United States
commerce. In 1800, a century ago, the
total value of the merchandise im-
ported and exported in our trade with
foreign countries was considerably less
than a quarter of a billion dollark, The
value of the goods exchanged during
the past fiscal year reached nearly two
and a quarter billions, far exceeding
all previous records.
“It was chiefly in the export trade
that the enormous growl of the con-
tury occurred. Our domestic exports
during 1900, with a recorded value of
$1.370.763.5671 were over 40 Gimes as
Jarge as in 1800, The total imports
for 1900, on the other hand, amounting
to $849 941,184, were than 10 times
as large as in 1800.
“Compared with the value of our im-
ports for 1900, that of our demestic ex-
ports showed an of $520,822.-
387."
