THE SILK INDUSTRY.

The silk industry in the United States
is steadily on the increase. According TO
figures recently given out by French
man. writing from New York, there were
In 1870 SIS silk mills in the United States.
representing an investment OF s6,2souO..
In 1900 the number Of mills had Increased
to 1873 and the capital invested was ISL
oplOOO. In 1902 the number of mills had
Increased to 500 and the capital to $780,
100000. and it is estimated that at the
end OF this year 45. 900 steam looms will be
in operation in the United States.
In 1870 tho value Of silk products IN
this country was s14ooo,ooo and in 1902
II had increased to sl25ooo,ooo, But in
spite of this, the lmportatlons Of SILK
have increased from s24,ooo,ooo In 1870
to $4,000 900 in 1902. In 1860 we manu-
featured but per cent. of the SILK worn
by our people; in 1880 we produced 80
per cent. In 1890 IS per cent, and in
1902. s. per cont.
A Paris writer says that, OF nanufao'
turcd silk, we consume about 50 year
per capita Of our population, because
the American people earn more money
and spend moro money than any other
people in the world"
We are. indeed, q nation OF silks ana
satins. There are in all countries some
rich persons who spend as much money
as the rich persons OF the United States
but, taking the people MS whole. no
neorle In the world make and spend AZ

States. 1t may be argued that we arc
spending too much money for silks, but
1t Is also to be remembered that the
silk industry gives employment to many
mcu and women. and II tho well-to-do
did not purchase silks, the industry
would soon decay.

published In 1857. and from that
source, and other sources of informa-
ton. they learn that nothing remains
but the ruins OF any OF those ancient
Episcopal churches, which were erected
in virginia before 1851" Hence they as
sert, with entire confidence, that no
house for public worship exists within
the original limits of the United States.

pose for which 1t was erected, and re-
naming on the Same site where 1t was
built, which is 80 old as the meeting

We are not prepared to say whether
this assertion OF our bingham friends
is absolutely correct, or not, but this We
know, that. since Bishop Meade's publ-
cation, some of the old churches of Vir-
glnia, which, pt that time, had fallen into
temporary dlsAse and decay, have been
repaired and refurnished. and are now
in regular use as houses OF worship.
