Turning to the import side, .Mr. Austin
said that it must be expected that our im-
ports will continue to grow. In the present
fiscal year they will exceed those of any earl-
ier year in our history, and the reasons for
continuous growth are co-incident with our
growth in manufactures. \Yhile the U. S. is
the world's greatest producer in the chief ele-
ments required in manufacturing, it does not
produce certain articles of tropical and sub-
tropical growth, of which the manufacturers
are requiring constantly increasing quanti-
ties, such as raw silk, fibers, Egyptian cotton,
India rubber, and many other articles of this
character. Add to this the tropical require-
ments for food, such as coffee, cocoa, tea
and such portions of the sugar and tropicai
fruits as are not produced at home, and it is
apparent that the importations must increase,
and especially those from the Tropics. The
value of tropical and subtropical products
imported has grown from 143 million dol-
lars in 1870 to over 400 millions in 190:, and
the share which they form in our imports has
grown from 31 per cent, in 1870 to nearly
50 per cent, in, 1901, and this proportion
seems likely to increase, •< •-•
