* There is an official value and a real value. As for instance, the 
official value of gogds imported in 1809 is stated at only 27,509,400/, 
though the real value is placed at 46,138,479/. as above stated, 
on the authority of a late ministerial writer. So as to the exports 
for the same year— the official value was but 38,327,495/. and 
the rea.1 value is estimated at 68,972,437/. By these distinc- 
tions, politicians both sides of the question, sometimes, even when 
telling the truths lead us into gross errors, by giving the official va- 
lue for one part of their statement and the real for the other, or 
a)lce versa, as suits their purpose. From the nature and design 
of the work from which this part of our table is quoted, we have 
full reason to believe the real value (as it is called) is placed 
high as it would bear j but have no document whereby to test its 
correctness. 
t This is presumed, for sundry good reasons, to include all 
the productions of the mechanic arts necessary to the ordinai?y 
wants of the people, as well as what is generally understood by the 
^ord manufacture,^
