Jt is true the imports were all articles of foreign morchandise; but, if Spanish vessels bad hoon at liberty to trade with the United States on similar terms as they do at European markets, they would have procured a large amount of the samo foreign articles from our bonded warehouses; and what would have been still more advantageous, they would, to some extent, have substituted similar articles of American for Liuropean production; for, of this Leavy importation from Europe, a very large amotint is the same description of merchandise which the United States formerly supplied, but which trade has been diverted from them by te operation of ihe law of 1834. Of course all axticles of foreign fabric could not be procured in the United States as cheap as in the countries of their production; but under our former rawback and present bonded warehouse system, they could be furnished at ko small an advance upon the’ vopean cost that the would most uently seek for them in our markets ab ent when they were most er the uch gre procuring wl the risk of an uutuvorable avket in the mean times and Is, of which the consumption in great importance, the United t something of a ently Spanish tlvautages those islands vould furnish suppli athe merchants of # an objec of the ca psinlere independent o C Cathy 3 should enjoy hubie fir. of supplying fe » When the United very large portion of it.
