THE BALANCE OF TRADE, b
In the comments we made yester- Jf
day on that part of the Treasury Report,
in which Mr. Corwin compares
the exports of the country with its S|
imports, and expresses his alarm at
finding that we have brought more
wealth into the country than we have v
sent out of it, an accidental mispla- | w
cing of part of two sentences, made j F
o <^*.0 I
the mailer is of great importance, we P
here reproduce the entire passage, "
corrected. v
'Mr. Corwin has made another dis
coverv, which alarms him very much.
We have sent abroad, in the past ?,
year, merchandise and specie, to the 8'
value of about one hundred and fifty- f'
two millions of dollars. At this dis- j't
covery, Mr. Corwin's hair rises on ;u
end. Here, he exclaims, is nn ov- h
travagant and unsafe importation, f?
here is a vast debt due to foreigners. ?
'Bovs, when they take their first J
lessons in political economy, are often
beset by similar fears. When M
they learn, however, that the goods b
which we send out are greatly in- ci
creased in value on arriving at a foreign
market, that, in the ordinary ei
course of commerce, they are sold 9
there for prices which coverall the j f<
expenses oi men* transportation, ant! 11
yield a profit besides to all who are c
concerned in forwarding and disposing
of them, their alarm abates. I
'They then begin to see that, to e
pursue a healthy and successful trade, ?
our imports must exceed our eyports 1'
in value; we must bring back more a
than we send away- Mr. Corwin '
says there is a balance of twenty-six h
millions against us, Ho should have v
said, there is a balance of twenty-six S(
millions in our favor. We are twen- a
ty-six millions the richer on account Cl
of our foreign trade. We bring back
in the proceeds of our goods, so much ^
more tnan we exported.1 ni

if only for the sal e of escaping the ?'
imputation of ignorance in regard to c<
Ihe commonest matters. YVith re- lr
spent to this fancv of Mr. Corwin, hi
about the balanre of trade, it appears a'
from Bast ia fa treatise, that the shrew vv
der part of the French protectionists 21
give it up, as too preposterous to be
insisted upon. Mr. <?authi#r de Ro- n|

more foreign prodnre, and sells less

we are doing. We give every year n

Mr. T. despatched from Havre a ai
fisseh^freighted for the Uniten States bi
Mth French merchandise, principally C
'arisian articles, valued at 200/1001. d<
'It was sold at twenty per cent, m
rofit on its original value, which c(
eing 40,()00 francs, the price of sale hi
ras 330,000 francs, which the assign- m
o counted ii;to cottons. The cot- v<

le return cargo arrived at Havre, w
s value had risen to 35*2,000 francs, w
nd it was thus entered at the custom th
ouse. Finally, Mr. T. realized a- IF
aiu on this return cargo twenty per th
tint profit, amounting to 70,400f. th
*he cottons thus sold for 42*2,400f.

'Now what conclusion does Mr. m

'In tlie meantime tlie custom house sc

rreck, a clear profit to France, of (1<
30,000 francs. ill
'We may draw, however, yet a- di
other conclusion, viz: that accor- ci
ing to the Balance of Trade theory, T

'The truth is, that the theory of the If
alance of trade should be precisely li|
jvcrsed. The profits accruing to ^
le nation from any foreign com- tc
lerce should Ira calculated by the re
verplus of the importation above ol
