And I make this sthtelement on the authority of David A. Wells. that in 1860 we were exporting to foreign countries ner American manufactures than in any other year of our history. In a table printed on page 10 of the report of the special coilmissioner of the revenue for 1869. it appears that in 1860 there came to this country 179.000 emigrants. 58.000 more than during the preceding year. As an exhibit of the activity and industry of our people. 4.819 patents were issued at the Patent.Office in 1860. 1.100morethan the average number for the three years preceding. In that year we built 1.846 miles of railroad. a slight increase above the preceding year.
