LIVE NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Invention and Industry.
The Census Office issued a bulletin
on the relation of patents to manufac
tures. It states that New York, though
third in population and patent rank for
the first decade, has since been first in
both, as well as in manufactures. As
the great Middle and Western States
were settled they developed manufac
tures and also took rank as patent
States. The bulletin says:
' "The period from 1840 to 1850 shows
a partial stagnation in patent growth.
For the decade of 1840 there were 1741
patents granted to the New England
States, while in the decade of 1850 there
were hut 13-7, a falling oft of 21 per
cent., though Massachusetts shows a
slight gain. For the next decade, that
of 1800. the New England States show
a renewal of patent activity, the number
of patents issued being 5151, or an in
crease of 274 per cent., slightly greater
than the growth of the country at large.
"Subsequent to 1N50 the States all
show a steady patent growth until the
decade of 1800, when a falling off in the
number of patents issued appears in
Maine, Vermont and Nevada. A de
crease in the number of patents of
Maine and Vermont, as well as for Ne
vada, is also shown in the 1900 decade.
Likewise a falling off in New Hamp
shire and Rhode Island, with a slight
decrease in Massachusetts, while a re
duced number of patents is also shown
for New York, South Carolina and
Kentucky.
"Though Connecticut shows a slight
increase for 1900, it is but 1.4 per cent.,
while the increase for the country at
large for the decade is 15.02 per cent.
