The evidence furnished from industrial pursuits
Is equally conclusive.
Ia Iron Founding, Maine, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island have made large Increase IN the
product; Massachusetts has fallen of per cent !;
Connecticut 10 per cent; and Vermont more
than p per cent. Vermont compares unfayora-
bly, in the increase Of cotton goods, boots and
shoes, wooden goods, soap and candles, clothing
and leather, and tAvorably in the production Of
-four and meal and sawed and planed lumber.
In addition to thu evidence based upon popu-
aton and the industrial products, the compare
tive increase of value Of real and personal estate
exhibits similar result.
