In 1867 the manufacture OF Bessemer
steel began. 1t has increased with won
der1ui rapidly. Last year the product
amounted to 1890, 600 TONS the larger
part Of all the steel produced by every
steel making country.
In 1890 there were 472 manufactures of
SILK In this country, with an invested
capital Of S5l, 100000, employing over So
GOO bands, to whom were paid wages of
$ls,700,O00, the product of the factories
being roughly valued at S87, 900 900.

The Southern states have now nearly
one-fourth Of the cotton factories OF the
country, and the great increase of this
industry In that section during the last
few years gave rise to the belief that at
no distant day the seat of the cotton, fac
tories will be rs close as possible to the
cotton fields. 8$ '5
From 1856 to 1890 the capital invested
in manufactures had increased twelve
times, while the number of hands EN-
ployed increaseA only ivefold, showing
the fact that machinery had been made
much more efficient, and that machines
were doing the work Of men to much
greater extent in 1890 than In 1850.
In 1881 there, were manufactured in
this country A4,316.SO4 gallons Of whisky;
of alcohol, 12,260,821 gallons; of rum, l.
7S4,3l2 gallons; of wines, 24,306,905 gal

beer, 3o,o21,0 7s gallons being nearly half

"A wonderful change Is taking place in
the manufacture OF nails. Cut nails,
though still largely made, are not so pop
ular as the wire nails, and the man
ufacture of the latter has Increased with
such raptdity as to cause q probability
that In the near future the cut nails will
be entirely superseded by those made Of
wire. d
The number Of manufa curing estab-
hshments has by no means kept pace
with the growth of manufacturing cap
ital, the statement showing that a large
concentration has taken place in this di-
rection. The manufacturing capital OF
each esta blishment has grawn from 81,
900 In 1860 to about $4,000 in the year
1890 I'LL %s.
In 1890 the capital invested iii the
United States in various manufactures
exceeded $4,000, 0O0, 600, while the wages
paid the employees Of manufactures had
risen from $273,0oO, 900 to $4,000, otNO, 900, the
material employed had increased from
$751;, 000, 900 to nearly S., 600, 600 900 and the
value Of the product from trihe over
81, 900, 100000 to nearly s., 400. 00o, 900.
The average yearly pay Of the en-
ployes Of manufacturing establishments
has been steadily and almost regularly
increasing since 1850. In 1850 the average
pay Of manufacturing hands was SAT q
year; in 1850, it had risen to $3.50; In 1870,
1t had fallen to. s243, owing to the f1nan-
cial depression; in 1880, it rose to $346: in
1890, it was $429; this includes all classes
