The character and relative proportion of the imports will appear from the following tabulation, 

 in which the segregation of articles free of duty and dutiable refers to conditions prevailing in 

 1892 and 1S93; while in 1897 the bulk of lumber and timber was on the free list. Adding dye- 

 woods and their extracts, sumac and other tanning materials, and such smaller wood products as 

 form an inconspicuous part in manufactures, the amount of imports would be increased by about 

 $1,500,000.
