The principal causes of the small produce of the French
Customs, is the sacrifice of the Revenue to the Colonies. The
heavy cost at which those great articles of consumption
which are, in England, the principal sources of Revenue,
are produced in the French possessions, has in order to
insure them possession of the market, led to discriminating
Duties, which have necessarily taken the difference of cost
out of the Treasury, in order to transfer it to the Planters.

In 1822, the Customs rendered on 55,317,631
Kilogrammes of Sugar, of which 52,304,050 were of
French, and 3,176,954 of Foreign Origin ..... } fs. 32,259,047
In 1827, on 60,317,631 (being an Increase of 5
Millions of consumption) consisting of 59,373,255
Kilos. of French, and 944,576 of foreign Sugar, only ..... } fs. 30,160,110
being a diminution of fs. 2,098,937

In 1830, though the consumption was 15 Millions of Kilos. more
than in 1822, the Duty was only fs. 33,535,174; – and of this duty
fs. 10,101,678 was paid back in Bounties, while in 1822, the Bounties
were only fs. 2,627,371.

In 1830, with a consumption of 69,626.936
Kilos. the Net Receipt of Customs was ..... } fs. 23,433,496
while

only 22 Millions, or nearly 10 Millions less than 15 years before, when
the population was less, by 5 Millions; – and when, instead of 22
Millions, it ought, as a natural progress, to have been 50 Millions.
