Enormous Capital Invested in Factories
and Workshops in the United States.

Few people have any conception how
far in lead manufacturing is as our chief
occupation. In it was employed, accord
ing to the last census, the enormous capi-
tai of S6, 139, 1877 S5, while the product
of the factories and workshops for the
year was S9,312, 437, 2S3, an amount
which it would require nearly all the
money in the world to purchase if spot
cash had to be paid. This industry gave
employment to 4,712,622 men, women
and children, paying them S2,2S3, 216,-
$40 in 1890. more money than is repre-
scented by the total production of gold
in America since its discovery by Co
lumbus.
1t is the custom to speak of this as a
great agricultural nation. 1t may have
been so in past and is indeed now in the
forefront of nations in that respect, but
the agricultural products of the United
States are of small value compared to the
product of workshops, mills and fac
tories, the total value of all farm pro-
ducts in 1894 being $2,46O, 107 ,454, not
much more than quarter of the value
of our manufactures. AS for mining
and fisheries, they are insignificant in
comparison with our great industry, their
product being valued ut $G15 ,SS1, JOS and
S45,312,S 4S, respectively.
To the energy and enterprise of these
citizens we owe n development of our
manufacturing business until it Is not
only the greatest industry in America,
but the greatest in the world. No nation
dares to dispute our pre-eminence in this
field of effort. Great Britain has been
distanced. though once proud to control
the worlds market Rapid as has been
Germany's development, it has not kept
pace with ours. Mulhall, the famous
English statistician, estimated that in
1888 the output of our manufacturing es-.
Establishments was greater than that of
the united kingdom, Germany and Italy
combined His figures for that year are;
United States, II, 433, 100000 sterling;
Great Britain, fS20.00O,000; Germany,
f5S3, 100000, and Italy. f121 100000.
The total for these three countries IS
f19,OO0O00 less than our production.
Detailed comparison of our product with
that of similar manufactures in other
countries could be made in our favor
with ease, but one single example Will
show our superiority. More carpet is
manufactured in one ward i'll Philadel-
phia than in the whole of Great Britain.

TO which they have been renominated.
Time. at this late hour, iorbids cxhaus-
tive mention OF the individual nominees.
or those who have been rcnominated, +,
however, The DIAMOND DRILL will say
that the simple announcement of their
denomination more vividly portrays
public appreciation Of past services than
any praise that could at the present time
be crowded into limited space. The
nominations of Manville B. Waite, for
sheriff; Sherman 4. Handy, for prose
cutting attorney and Irving II. Jackson
for register of deeds, are the changes
made in the ticket OF two years ago.
Manvile b. Waite, the choice OF the
Republican party for sheriff, is n pioneer
of Iron county, and this is his FIRST mp.
pcarancc before the voters of thcepunty,
though he has faithfully served them
for many years in the capacity Of
deputy sheriff up TO the time OF the
dcccase Of Sheriff Thomas Ball, since
which time he has efficiently discharged
the duties Of sheriff No more demon
stratcd evidence Of the peoples apprecia-
tion OF his ability rs I'm officer md his
loyalty to the Republican party could
be wished for than his nomination,
unanimously, by acclamation.
Sherman H. Handy. the nominee for
prosecuting attorney, has been a resident
Of Iros county for the past five years
and by close application TO business has
not only worked upagoodpractice IN his
profession, but has 40 far won the con
lidence OF the people, as to secure the
nomination over the oldest resident law
yer in the county; one who has blame
lessly served the county in the
past. Mr.. Handy is personally ac.
quainted with almost every voter in the
county and his general popularity can
not fail to add TO the majority Of the
ticket on which his name appears.

Houghton.
Ira G. Whitney, one OF the best known
commercial travellers in tho northwest

ties which won him friends wherever lie

in the shoe and leather trade, having Mt
one time, early in his career been identi-
fled with n large manufacturing concern
in New York He was the father OF
quite n large family OF children, who
