niH BUSY FACTORIES
RATIFYING EXHIBIT OF STATISTICS
AS TO IMPORTS.
tenant Idea <tf 35a 11 ufactnr
••i* s * .llateriaLs an Imp or taut Feature
1' Ocir i'op<'i«n Trade, Whereby Ad
v?£tioiial Employment Is Asanred.
tlie bureau of statistics' records for
• uuary of this year show that nianu
..-Hirers* materials formed one-half of
i' total imports during that month
. 1 about 40 per cent of the imports
i 1/ the seven months ended January.
r..it is a very gratifying result in
v ol" our continually increasing im
>.i :s, and the necessity of which ex
for the American wage earner to
■ :opt busy.
■ ic January proportion of manufae
rs' materials was largely in excess
• hat of January, 1904. The figures
»•••:•« $10,500,000 against $37,000,000,
i increase of $12,500,000 in a single
th, or one-third more. What that
' hird means to the American wage
ers their weekly pay envelopes can
tell.
■ the seven months ended January,
manufacturers' materials formed
700,000 of our $020,000,000 im
against $254,000,000 of $505,000,-
I tlie same months of 1002, au in
e of $32,700,000, or more than half
'O,OOO increase in the total. This
is in every way comforting, as
usy American factory means the
i. . , everything else.
. iff revisionists should take note of
. ,ct that of the $280,700,000 mauu-
I'ers' materials imported in the
months of this fiscal year no less
s .portion than $100,000,000 worth
•i d free of duty.
manufacturers' materials is meant
. s•lasses—via, "articles in a crude
ion ready for manufacturing"
ii.•' "articles wholly or partially man
red, lor u e in manufacturing."
ureases referred to are almost
in the tir.st class. That is still
for the wage earners and all
„• . ■ -ued.
!; N Interesting to note the stages by
.vhich materials for manufacturing
; .ve -ncreasingly entered iuto our im
generally. These stages by fiscal
ire 1820, 10.0 per cent; 1850, 28.2
■ ;■ t; 181:0, 154 per cent; 1900, 45 per
'•out: 1005 (seven mouths), 45.8 per
•••:;*. • ltd in the single month of Janu
-1.(05, 50.1 per cent.
Thoie is another and equally gratify
ing side to the story—the increasing en
•■> of exported manufactures into
. ...• ■• -neral exports. Shipments of
letures in January, 1905,
;ed to $40,513,000, or 33.37 per
;•:;! ti« total exports for the mouti).
1. ulnently desirable proportion has
■ i reached by the following fiscal
. ■■.;:• • tages: .1850, 13 per cent; 1870,
I i pet cent; 1800, 17.8 per cent; 1900,
r cent; 11)05 (seven months), 34
>-v <■ :it.
1 ( i 'lie seven months of this fiscal
: • xports of manufactures were
v.M, 1,000, against $250,000,000 for
• i ceding similar months, an in
if $52,000,000. In January, 1005,
done the increase was $2,000,000.
: -e increases in manufactures ex
i; ; prove the assertion that all eou
' benefit by the increase in man
ifacti rers' materials imported,
lit i: also worth while noting the
:•■ i i.i which this imported material
::n . i* has chiefly occurred, ltaw silk
u .1; utry, 1905, was $5,037,000, an in
as e over January, 1904, of $1,800,-
; v. ioI, 25,000,000 against 10,000,000
