i, the discussions which must necessarily take
race previous to any permanent settlement of the
Tiff question FACTS are Of tho utmost imports
,n,e 70 the Investigations The recent statistics
,sken under the authority the United States are,
sor nrac,ical inquiries invaluable. We refer to

.,ss,;cs taken in 1910 by tho L. States Marshals
show this result.
WHAT NAV be called the Productions Of Industry
!. the United States which is the joint result
.; natural gifts and human labor, divided into
,hese six principal divisions, viz: Agriculture,
Horticulture, the Fisheries, the Forests, the Mines
and Manufactures In none Of these productions
would there be any result withou; labor for even
ssh could not be caught without considerable Ia
Dor aadpains Hence is that the most enlightened
political economists consider labor the source of
wealth
But in manufactures and horticulture the results
Of labor are the most conspicuous, nAd the largest
Part Of the product. We propose now to show
what proportion OF the products of the L. States
are the results of manufacturing and mechanical
labor and what proportion this bears tothe cotton
crops upon which statesmen. banks and merchants
have for so many wears Gxcd their attention. he
reader will be ;slonished. The value ofthe AGGRE-

\ little examination -t the details Ur tiirsc pro-
ducts shows that they arc considerably moderated,
and it is very obvioas from the manner III which
this information is obtained, that errors, il any,
would occur in undertaking the results. None
who have been accustomed to look only at partial
results, and have not looked on the great opera
tons of seventeen millions of people, could antlcl-
pate such vast consequences.
The valueof one yeors pro1acti0n in the United
States exceeds, at this time, thirteen hundred
millions Of doNars!' How small a part of this
equals in value the whole paper circulation, about
which SO mach is said But let US look at the
manufacturers. which tomc persons consider OF so
little importance IN comparison with The Cotton
Crop.
Here We observe that iron is wrongly placed UNI
der the head Of Mines, which except in the orc.
does not belong. Adding this TO the head of
Manufactures and the total am-unt of manu!ac-
mcs exceeds four hundred and thirty millions of
dollars OF jus, abou, third the cntire Industrial
production of the United States.
