EVIDENCES OF OUR PHENOMENAL GROWTH


EVIDENCES OF OUR PHENOMENAL GROWTH.
The figures which the census bureau is now pub
fishing among the interesting and instructive
that will be published They relate to the manu-
featuring and agricultural statistics Of the country
and expected present astonishing results
Complete returns these matters Of course
yet tabulaed but enough is known of the totals to
challenge attention and strengthen our pride in
the wonderful progress which the Nation has eXhib
tied for the past ten years
The total number of manufacturing and mechanical
establishments IN the States and organized Territories
is estimated at $4,000. This Is gain since
1850 of $4,000 establishments average OF $4,000
year--incredible as the fact may appear AS the
census commissioner says, the results Of the manu-
featuring viii likely astonish even the most
optimistic of citizens.
The bureau is at work are told, list
Of the industrial combinations that have been formed
In the past ten years, and VIII also seek to show the
effects these combinations have had on labor or at
least of the effects The result OF this work will
be looked forward to with keen interest It is subject
which is certainly attracting more attention in the
United States than any other subject.
IN the line Of agricultural statistics It s shown that
thero 5000 600 farms in the country, and that
they represent about 40 per cent Of the National
wealth or some $35OOO,00O,OO0
When we arc put face to face with official figures
OF this character and reflect that yet but
in the infancy Of the development Of resources,
and that our advance is not only continued but by
leaps and bounds, cease to wonder that Europe is
showing the keenest and steadily growing alarm at
what is now being denominatod across the water the
American peril"
