CARING FOR OUR INDUSTRIES.

ton which is afforded American indus
tries by the democratic congress, Lemuel
E. QuiQg contributes an interesting
article to the New York Tribune. The
senate democratic conferrees are Mr..
Voorhees, of Indiana, MI. Harris of Ten
nessee, Mr.. Vest Of Missouri and Mr..
Jones of Arkansas, and their democratic
associates from the house are Mr.. Wilson
of West Virginia, Mr.. McMillin of Ten
nessee, Mr.. Turner of Georgia, and Mr..
Montgomery of Kentucky. According
to the census of 1890, Indiana contains
1854 manufacturing establishments
with an aggregate capital of S132,405 {, 1866;
an annual output amounting in value to
$226,925,0S2 employing l24,349 persons
and paying them annually in wages $751;
1896. Tennessee, the state represented
by Senator Harris and Mr.. McMillin,
contains 1869 manufacturing establish
ments, with an aggregate capital of $751;
475,092, employing 1879 persons, pay
ing them s%16,S99,351 annually in wages,
and producing goods to the value of
s72,355,286. Missouri, the state repre-
sented by Senator Vest, contains 14,045
manufacturing establishments, with a
combined capital of S189,236,422, en-
ploying 142,924 persons, paying them IN
wages annually SIG, 1921, 1907, and creating
an annual output amounting in value to
1928, 1897, 688. Arkansas, the state repre-
sented by Senator Jones, who, by the way
is the most liberal and fair minded Of
the entire southern contingent, contains
2,073 manufacturing establishments,
whose combined capital amounts to s14-,
971,6l4, employing 1892 persons, whose
annual wages amount to s~5,749.788, and
the annual product of whose labor is $22,-
659,179. West Virginia, the state repre-
sented by Mr.. Wilson, contains 1876
manufacturing establishments, with a
combined capital of 1928, 1l8, $780,; en-
ployees numbering 21,969, who receive
wages to the annual amount of So, ,997,
and who produce goods to the annual
value of $3S, 702,125. Georgia, the state
represented by Mr.. Turner, contains
1926 establishments, in which s56,92l,-
$50 is invested, where 56,383 people are
employed their capital amounts to &c.,
S1l,9s0; they employ 65,579 people who
receive s27, 761, 746 annually in wages,
and who turn out goods to the value of
sl26,i19,S57. Kentucky, the state rep.
resented by Mr.. Montgomery, contains
manufacturing establishments to the
number of 7,745; at S~l7,312,196 annual
wages, and creating an annual product
of $68,9l7,O2O.
Taking ali these seven states together
that are represented in the conference
committee, which is constituted to be
the final arbiter to determine for the en-
tire United States their industrial policy,
a committee which one of it's members,
Mr.. Turner, denounced four years ago
as "this annex to congress"-taking them
together, and SO far as they have a direct
interest in manufacturing pursuits it is
represented by 47,437 establishments
with $685. SAC, 084 of capital, with 1863, 1886
employees who receive s202, 132,061 an
nual]y in wages and turn out a product
of S88O,166,237.
And now, listen to the figures for the
great state Of New York. It has no
voice among the MI jority in this confer
ence committee. The manufacturing es-
tablishments in the state Of New York
number 65,840. The value of their CAPT.
tai is the tremendous sum of S1,13O,l61,-
l95, and of their output the even greater
sum OF sl~,711,577,671. The number of
their employees is 85O,084, and the sum
paid annually in wages is $466, 1916 ,642.
In a word, the concern Of the single
state of New York in the issue of this
tariff controversy is twice as great as
that of all the states represented by the
democratic members of this conference
committee from both senate and house.
