According to the United States CEN
u figures, the capital invested in the
manufacture Of confectionery was So
4S6,874 in 1880. This had Increased
in 1890 to 1896, 79s. in 1900 to $780,
IL ,195 and in319O5 to s~43,125,40s. The
cost of materials used have Increased
from $l7,125,775 III 1880 to $31,116, 629
in 1890, to $~35,254,2O8 in 1900 and to
$48, S1O,342 in 1905. The census fig
ures report the wholesale value of the
finished product as $25, 2 1898 in $780,
as $55,997,101 in 1890, as $60,643,9 46 III
1900 and as $S7,OS7, 1853 in 1905. Thus
In 1908, the estimate of the organ of
the trade in placing the wholesale
value Of the product at 500, 900 is
conservative. At the present time
there are approximately 1900 factor
les engaged in the work.
According to Henry w. Hoops, Pres
ident of the National Confectioners'
Association, people in the trade figure
the average value of the finished pro-
duct at the factory at Is cents a pound,
so that the estimate Of 100000, 900 for
the product this year would mean an
output Of approximately 667,0O0,000
pounds Of candy, O nearly 8 1-2
pounds per annum for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
The amount Of glucose, paraffine,
cheap flavoring extracts and various
delettrious substances used in pro-
ducing this output can scarcely be
guessed at. According to chemists
and health officials. paraf1ine is used
even in the most expensive chocolates.
This is true to such an extent that the
purchasers of chocolate candies an
nually treat their digestive organs to
several tons of candles in this way.
When the ingredients Of a large pro-
portion Of the cheaper grades of can
dy are considered, it will be cen that
the tax on the health of the nation
through the consumption OF candy is
indefinitely greater than the tax on
the pocket books of the purchasers.
