official marks, and it is to be stamp
cd with ~. s. postage, one cent

be one OF The great industries Of this
country; aud an immense capital is
now thus employed, particularly in
the Northwester States. The Wash.

statistics, Cleaned from the census OF
1870, which show the rapid growth
OF this department Of industry. Ed.
torialIy that paper says:
"Ths whole number OF these man
ufactories in the United States was
2,O76, of which 1,00S, or nearly one.

States in 1850 was 1888. OF the
whole increase in twenty years
743-64S or six.sevenths was in the
ten States of the Northwest. OF the
increase of establishments, Illinois
had the greatest number and Miohl.
gan the highest per centags.
The total capital invested in this
branch of industry in the United

The total capital invested in the
Northwestern States in 1850 was
