While wc may glory In the fact that
our total manufactured products have
shown an increase between 1880 and
1900 ~ $40 per cent. and the total
wugrs paid 10 employees during the
sgmc period has increased 23.s per
cent. the number " manufacturing e..
Establishments 2T.3, and the amount ~
capital invested l3.7 per cent, Yet we
have cause for regret from the fact
that all ~ our industries have not
shown nm increase, Several II the i'm.
pariant lines of industry have de.
creased, though the dcrreasc h 60 be
noted Ia the ralue of the products in
but very few lines, and thoFe compare.
lively uuimportant ones. In but five
lines. among which l. the manufacture
~ wooden goods, II there noted a de.
crease In the amount ~ capital In
vested and there has hTen q decrease
in the amount " wages paid Ia I ] lines,
IN the manufacture ~ bouts aHd shoes,
for instance. wages have decreased e.5
per cent; In the manufacture ut car
riages and wagons the amount u
wages have decreased 81 per cent,
while in both lines there has been an
increase IN the value ~ the manuiac.
turcd product amounting In boots and
shoes to is.a per cent, and in car.
riages and wagons tool per cent. The
greatest atestuumbcruidccrensesare shown
In the number ~ establishments in the
different lines. y fact that may be cred
tied to the tendency to industrial com.
hiuatiuus The number of HETlC;il.
tural implement factories have de-
creased 2i.4 per cent. for instance,
while the value 81 the manufactured
prndurt has increased 2I.S per cent, the
amount ~ capital invested has in.
creased s.5 per cent, and the wages
paid show an increase of "a per cent.
| slaughtcring and meat packing estab.
| llshments give another notable in
| stance of this percentage of decrease
and increase. In that line the number
Of establishments have decreased i7.6
| per cent. the capital invested has in
! creased 6i.o per cent. number 81 en-
ployes increased SIS per cent, the
wages paid increased 81 per cent,
and the value ~ the product increased
! 6i.t per cent. This T. due to the repiac
ing ~ the local butchers to a great cN.
tent by the big packing houses Of the
metropolitan cities.

To arrive at figures representing
| yome&here near the total profits OF
our manufacturing industries Il IL but
necessary to add together the various
items composing the total cost Oi
manufacture and deductinR that from
the value Of the product. The items fig
urinV in tn cost of production are the
salaries OF i56, eos salaricd officials ant
clerks, not enumerated la the wnge

penses. which include such items n
rent. taxes. insurance, etc. amounting
to s745. Sos .GG5. and the cost of raw ma
terials amounting 60 ~, ,743, sac. .%9e. To
gether these items give grand tota
