Ups and Downs.
Some of the local industries show wonder
full advances from 1850 TO 1890. Among
these are the following: Blacksmithing.
from 81 establishments in 1880 to 135 in
1890: boots and shoes. from 73 to 232:
carpentering. from IS to III; mems cloth
ing, from 30 TO 116; mechanical dentistry.
from 8 to 60; painting and paper hanging.
from 81 to l56: plumbing and gas hitting.
from 81 to Sc; printing and publishing,
from 2s to g. There were a few Industries
that showed decline in the decade. These
were: Brick and tile. from 16 TO 13. car
riages and wagons, from % TO 81; Touring
and grist mill products. TO 6; hairwork,
u TO IL; wrought iron railing. from to 3:
lewel-y, from ii to 3; lime and cement.
from TO 3; malt liquors. from 10 10 o;
marble and stone work from - TO 10, and
umbrellas and canes. from to t.
All the Others. however. including those
enumerated specially, which show the
greatest advances, have increased in num-
Der. The bulletin states: 1T is probable
that the great increase shown in the re-
ports for those industries coming under
the head of hand trades is largely due to
the fact that no previous census OF the
United States has so fully obtained the full
production of hand trades. such as those OF
the mason, carpenter. blacksmith. cooper.
painter. plumber, and similar trades oper-
ating machinery TO a limited extent. Pre-
vious census inquiries have entirely omitted
the dressmakers' and milliners industries.
for which a product valued at nearly a
million OF dollars Is now reported for the
District of Columbia.
The building trades obtain peculiar i'm
portance in the District of Columbia. Con-
sicering the reports for the following-named
building trades as a group. viz, carpenter
ing, marble and stone work. masonry. brick
and stone; painting and paper hanging,
plastering and stucco work. plumbing and
gas fitting, and roofing and roofing ma
terials. the value Of the product is found to
be sl0,6l3. 232."
