The foregoing is Of course only an esmate but il has
been compiled with much possible, and from
the best information within reach of the Commissioners
In the report OF 1s47 similar table was embraced ex.
hbtng an estimate of the value of the products OF labor
and capital in the United States for that year upon the
following basis, viz the amount OF the articles en-
braced in the table, as given by Me Of $780,
assumed as the basis Of the estimate and % per
added TO that sum- which Is the ratio OF the increase
OF opulaion since the taking OF that census being
reasonable to suppose that the value Of the industry and
capital Of the Union increases in the same ratio as the
population The same basis is assumed for the est.
mates Of the products Of the labor and capital Of the
United States for ls4s.
Abiding to the results, the Commissioner says

ducts OF labor and capital In the United Satss in lss
