Tremendous 1872 Imports Reflect Tariff Effects and Trade Flows
The 1872 import total reached 677,144,579 in gold, with four-fifths duty free to support manufacturing. Six revenue-driving items including sugar, wool, iron, coffee, cotton goods, and silk goods underpin most duties. Exports rose to 597,194,010, but foreign-flag ships carried the bulk of both imports and exports, leaving American shipowners with a small share of profit and prompting calls for reform and stronger reciprocity with Canada and Mexico.
