wages and output took place. It was in the central. western and southern states, which few years ago were de- signated simply as agricultural sec tions of the county. Of the three bil- lion and a half dollars of new capital put into industrial plants in these five years more than one-half of il was in the central. western and southern states. New England increased her industrial capital only s264.o00, 900; the middle Atlantic states, $1,SS4,o00,- 900: the southern states. s575,00o,- GOO: the central states. s1,114.000,- 900, and the far western states, s271,- 09O,000. The percentages ot increase were: New England, 4 per cent; mid dle Atlantic, 37.5 per cent; southern, 72 per cent; central 42 per cent, and western 73 per cent. While the in- crease in the old manufacturing cen tsFS OI the Edsi "ds HOiAA'aA e-IN healthy. the increase in the central. western and southern states was ia the nature of a great boom in indus trial development.
 The comparative increases in labor and wages also were much greater in the west and South than in the old manufacturing centers of the East The increase in wage earners in New England in the five years was little emore than 10 per cent. and the total
 &ges paid, 19.4 per cent; in th2 mid
 Atlantic states the increases were:
 -xe earners 16 per cent, total wages
 s per cent; southern states, wage
 rners 22 per cent, total wages 49.4
 cent; central states, wage earners EE-7 per cent, wages 32 per cent: western states, wage earners 2s per cent. wages 59 per cent.
 More than this, the wonderful de- velopment of manufacturing industry in the South and West has already moved the industrial center of the country nearer to its geographical center, and it is safe to say that TO- day fully one-half of the capital. wage earners, wages paid and output from our manufactures is in the central, southern and western states. The in 'dustrial census of 1905 shows this and demonstrates that under the economic policy of the Republican party. with Pts steady and prosperous develop 1nent, our manufacturing has stea lilly advanced into the great agricultural sections, placing the factory beside the farm, to make the exchange between the two great bodies of producers the more direct and equitable and make them more dependent upon e2cA other.
 Not alone in manufacturing has there been this doubling up process in prosperity under Republican ad- ministration. The farmers have doub- led their crops and the money they have received in exchange. The farm value of those three staple c-cps of the West, corn, wheat and oats, iu 1896, amounted to s934 100000, and last year it aggregated S1,912 100000, or more than double the value in the last year of Democratic administra- tion. The value of farm animals also doubled in the same period, increas- ing from SLIPS. S.OOO,0 DOC in 1886 to s2,- 675, ,OO0,000 in 1890.
 This prosperity to the farmer was not confined to the corn and wheat belt of the country. Like the rain which falls on the just and unjust alike, it descended upon oIr friendz in the South, who still refuse to be- Iieve that prosperity can exist under policies. The value of the cotton crop went from $319. 600, 900 in 1896 to more than $500, ,000, poo in 1904, the last year for which We have statistics. The miners doubled their output of coal and iron, and in every line of industrial development the last ten years have been in harmony with this scrIptural injunction to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before.
 Our foreign trade has been along the same double track lines, our inn ports increasing from s7S0,000.000 in 1896 to s1,27, ,00O, 900 in 1906, and our exports from sssS.o10.00o in 1896 to .00O in 1906 The total vol tune of OCT fcreign trcSe in 1896 amounted to s1,662. 900. 900, and in 1906 to $2,970. .000,0 Add to that our trade with Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines, which amounted to SIS, 900, 600 and We have in the last year a grand total of $3,04T 9o,o9o as the amount of business done be- tween the people of the United States and the rest of the world. This is greater than the foreign commerce of any other nation, Great Britain alone excepted, and that because that ra- ton imports her food products. her imports being almost double her ex- ports, while our exports exceed our imports by half billion dollars.
 Under the policy of protection the United States produces one-third of
