The imports for the last ten years from France are £136,109,727 more 

 than their exports, or in our money $658,771,078. If you go back for 

 twenty years you will find the same disparity between the import and ex- 

 port, except for the year of the German war, when the exports exceeded 

 the imports by a small amount. 



We will next take Denmark. The figures of their trade with the people 

 of this nation for the last ten years are as follows :
