A rem lrk bile series OF papers on the
progress Of the Uaitsd States by
Michael q MulhalI. foremost British stat
isuosps, has begun in the North Amer
can Review.
The frst chapter Of the series, in the
Review, ia devoted e1cluiiysly to tue pro
stess Of New Elg land. DIR Mnlhsll cites
the familiar facts about the decline OF New
England agriculture and the relative in
rural population. bat when he comes to
the fruitful TOPIC of manufactures be 10
sti.utes some comparisons which are genu
inely startling.
He tiHds that New England manu- isctur
ing has increased It's on put dye-ioId since
1859, and that Nav England today possess
IS unohslleDged pre-. mineuce as the fore
most manufacturing region Of tue world
According to Mr., MulhalI's figures the tot
OIL product OF the manufactures OF New
England Ia now valued at 81. 400 900 900,
or 1919 per inhsbltant, as compared with
product 10 old England OF Sll5 per in
hsbitsnt, in France OF s74 per inhsbitant,
10 Germany OF 1853 aud 10 Belgium OF SSs.
Moreover, The rsIstive rate OF progress
has been much larger 10 New England
than 90 the other side OF the Atlantic. In
old En- Gland the manufactured product
has very little more than kept pace with
population. 1t has advanced only from
Sill to lis. Bu. 10 New England our
manufacturing product has actually 10
creased ,hr. g times faster than the growth
IN population, advancing from Sl04 10
1850 to 1919 at the preseu, tine.
Another sig iicsnt TACT TO which Mr.
MuIhsil invites stteL too is that, eItrsordl
nary as this progress has been, the wages
OF the operatives have increased 10 even
greater ratio than the product Oar free
traders will be particularly interested in |
tbs declaration Of the Distinguished Brit |
tish economist that these wages are much !
bis her than those 10 Europe, and as the
cost Of food is less the N England opera |
ice 1. 10 much better portn than the

Southern manufacturers and Southern
statesmen are jointly proud of tie pro-
gress which manufacturing industries
have made of late years in that section
A recent instance of this comes up in the
announcement that the cotton mills of
New England have been compelled to re-
duce running expenses in order to meet
the prices at which Southern manufac-
lures are placing cotton goods on the
market. With the low wages, long hours
cheap fuel, and absence of much trans
portation with which the Southern cotton
mills are blessed, they are able to make
cotton goods of all grades at a very low
cost, and it is because of this fact that the
New England manufactures have been
compelled to reduce wages in this single
industry, although the manufacturers i'll
any other lines are increasing wages as a
result of the new tariff law upon the
statute books

The Valuation of Maine.

| The report of the State Assessors, sub
mitted to the Governor and Council last
week, makes very good showing on the
whole We gave in a recent issue the
statistics for Waldo County, and now pre-
sent summary of the general features
( The total amount Of the zeal and person
al estate as returned is S2S1, $40, SOP, an
increase of 50, 3S1, 147 above similar re-
Turns for the year 1896. OF this total val
uation 10 per cent. is real estate, and
p. 81 per cent. is personal estate. The
| twenty cities of the State return a total
valuation of S129, $40, 300, of which 80 %
per cent. is real estate, and 26.77 is per
sonal estate. There are thirty towns with
valuation above 81, 900, 900 and total
valuation of SAT, 09S, 1862, of which 1857
per cent. is real and 20. 43 per cent. is per
sonal property.
There are fifty three towns with valua-
lions above 500, 900 and less than 81, OOO,-
600 and a total valuation of $50, 81, TAO,
of which So per cent. is real, and 49, 6
per cent. is personal property.
The remaining towns, all with valua-
tons less than $500, OOG, to large extent
farming towns, without large villages,
and including plantations, return a total
valuation of SOS, 396, 900, of which 81 per
cent. is real estate and 10 per cent. per-
sonal property.
Three hundred and eighteen of the
cities, towns and plantations, return a
higher valuation of real estate than in
1896. The total valuation of real estate
is S217, 40, 1866.
The personal property returned amounts
to S64, 451 G33, a reduction of SAT-, 1871
from the amount returned in 1896. Live
stock is returned on lower basis of
values than in any year of which we have
statistics: and the total value is 81, 076,-
7SS less than in 1890. The deficient hay
crop of 1896 made it necessary for many
farmers to reduce their herds; with this
fact fully considered the number returned
is more than we could reasonably expect.
