It is a totally meaningless number unless the reexports are discarded...

Define what you mean by 'reexports'.

Any conclusions about tariffs collected and their inter-year relationships will have to be developed after the data is corrected for per cent increases due to the Morrill Tariff.

Which would be hard to do without a breakdown of imports since the Morrill tariff impacted different sectors to different degrees.

But even if you go to the trouble, it is not going to support your contention that point of collection of tariffs is evidence of consumption.

Why wouldn't it?
