lotal Faine OIL Iron founaing IN the
un'sed States Tor the year 1900 was $50
o4o,ooo' oil when tne nine cis-Aiieshany
states prodneea sis,sso,oS4 being
fraction less than t'oo-fhirds Of the whole,
whilst the eleven Central States only pro-
duccd S4,4l2,6os, or about eight per cent
Of the total. rai ga ~ s,
The total amount Of coal for tho year 1860,
as per United States Census Report was
I5S, 72o, 400 tons, valued at $i9365,765.
Now, there we're but the two. States OF Rhode
Island and Pennsylvania Of the entire nine
cis-Alleghsay States that produced any coal,
and the respective amount Of each was,
$1,000 tons by Rhode Island, and "a, 392, 627
tons by Pennsylvania; these two producing
one-half Of the whole of the United States
for 1860. In the eleven Central States there
were produced "a ,53l, l20tons. but all which
were found in eight Of these last named
States. ~
The total value Of copper, lead, zinc and
nickel for the year 1860, was S3,306, 5lS,
which exhibited itself but in the tive els
AIleghany States Of Pennsylvania and New
York, and thas too, in extremely
small quantities; viz. $500 in Pennsyl-
wanna in lead, and seventy tons of
copper, valued at $3.50 in New York. On
the contrary, these metals exhibited them
selves in i've tho central States as follows:
5000 tons Of lead, valued at $497 ,553, and
1913 tons Of copper, valued at $523 ESQ., 2.
The total value for the year 1850 Of agri-
cultural implirnents was Sls ,S02,5l4, Of
which the nine cis-AIleghany States pro-
duced SS,S39720 and the eleven central
States S., 472,649.
The total value for the year 1860 of steam
engines and machinery was S47, lis, $50, of
which the nine cis-Alleghany States pro-
duced ssI,l7l,27s worth, being within a
fraction OF three-ffths of the whole amount
whilst the eleven central States only pro-
duced in amount S5,652,3s5, or in other
words, only eleven per cent Of the whole.
Now, these statistics prove that Pennsyl-
vanis is the great reservoir of iron and coal
for the. nine cis-AIleghany States, and they
have 10 be transported four hundred miles
to reach Boston, the centre of the cis-Alle-
ghany manufacturing district. On the con-
trary, the iron and coal have only to be
transported niney-seven miles to reach
Nashville, the centre Of the Central States
manufacturing district Moreover, the met
ais and minerals Of the former district are
fully developed, while those of the latter are
only beginning to be developed, and in
point of area exceed the first ten fold.
Now, let us see what effect these manu-
features have had. We quote from the
Census Report of 1907 The total value
ofdomestic manufactures (including fish,
series and the product Of the mines) was ST.
"900,000,000, which, per capital, was nearly
1851 for every man, woman and child in
"the Union. The production of the immense
aggregate above stated gave employment
