Trade. 112 Handbook of the The following table shows the Eevenue and Expenditure of the State since the establishment of British protection : Year. 1889 (half-year) 1890 1891 1892 1893 1894 1895 1896 1897 1898 1899 1900 Total Revenue. $30,390 $62,077 $77,386 $50,044 $83,688 $100,220 $106,744 $160,947 $198,193 $224,856 $375,350 $419,150 $1,889,045 Expenditure. $142,621 $297,702 $238,174 $271,393 $282,236 $249,121 $231,914 $462,619 $441,918 $372,719 $1,814,030 $630,678 $5,435,125 It will thus be seen that the expenditure has, during the past eleven and a half years, exceeded the revenue by over three and a half million dollars, that being, therefore, the amount of the State debt at the end of 1900. Almost the whole of the trade is carried on between the ports of the State and Singapore. The values for the past nine years are shown in the subjoined table : Year. Imports. Exports. 1892 $341,673 $331,196 1893 $363,834 $367,555 1894 $787,859 $659,653 1895 $946,497 $775,313 1896 .. $1,180,188 $865,280 1897 .. $1,226,059 $1,652,607 1898 .. $1,147,054 $1,559,349 1899 .. $1,531,661 $2,062,241 1900 $973,405 $2,322,950 The principal imports are opium, spirits, rice, tinned provisions and miscellaneous food stuffs, cotton goods, tobacco, machinery, kerosine and other oils, hardware, sugar. About $200,000 worth of specie is brought into the State annually. The principal articles of export are tin, gold, salted fish, rattans, gutta and rubber, timber, buffalo hides, and various kinds of jungle produce, &c. During the past five years the export of gold, tin, and gutta and rubber has been :— 105,475 ounces valued at $4,219,000 ; 3,392 tons valued at $3,200,793 ; and 156 tons valued at $573,237, respectively. — —
Federated Malay States. 113 The customs duties in force in Pahang vary to some extent as compared with the royalties levied in the other Federated States. In addition to the import duty on opium and spirits, all kinds of Asiatic tobaccos brought into the country pay a tax of $10 a pikul (133J- lbs.). The right to collect this is farmed out to a Chinese syndicate, as is also the opium and spirits monopoly. These are the only import duties at present in force. In the other States the export duty on tin is calculated on a sliding scale, as explained in Part I. of this Hand-book, and the royalty on gold is there 10% of its value. In Pahang, tin pays a fixed duty of 10% (in a few special cases it is 8%) ad valorem, calculated on the daily market price of the metal ; while the royalty on gold exported is fixed at 5%, or half of what it is elsewhere. Passengers and Fares.—Passengers for Pahang from the Pas^^engers West can book their passages either to Penang or Singapore. ^^^
