If our exports to Texas had augmented from 1899 to 1913, as they had done from 1897 to 1889, and as they must have done with her great increase of business and pop ulation, but for her being placed towards us, in the mean time, in the attitude of foreign state, they would have amounted, in 1913, to S3,047,000, instead of Sl90,000.

But great as were our exports to Texas in 1880, they were by no means so large as fl she had then been a State of the Union; for she then had, and still has in force, tariff oil imports, varying on most articles from 10 to 50 per cent, which must have prohibited some of our exports there, mot embrace Texas, and secure to our man. utactures almost monopoly in her supply. Had all these causes combined, as they would have done, had Texas been State of the Union, our exports there of domestic articles must have reached, in l843, S7,164, l39, as shall proceed to demonstrate

 The products of Louisiana, by the census of l840, were S35,044,95 of which there was of sugar and cotton, Sl5,475,783 and of this, there was of sugar, S4,797,608 of which sugar, if we deduct S476, 7S3, as con sumed in the State, being more than double her proportionate consumption, 1t would leave Sl5,000,0 of products raised and exported by Louisiana in lS40, when her population was 352,4ll; and Texas, producing now in the same proportion to her present popula- ton 100000, would produce Sl9,S86,360, and of exports for sale beyond her limits, SS,522, ,724; and deducting from this $ ,25S,- 5S5, the proportion ofhcr products employed
