MANUFACTURES. 9 ( 81 ) ■ . . ' M ANUFACTURES. The returns of manufactures for the censuses prior to 1850 were too defective to be considered as repre senting- the true status of the industry, and no compari sons, therefore, are made for the early decades. The development of manufactures from 1850 to 1900, as measured by the increase in capital invested, average number of wage-earners, and value of products is repre sented by a series of diagrams on Plate 180. C a p it a l I n v e s t e d . The capital invested in manufactures in 1850, when reliable data were first obtained, was $533,215,351. Fifty years later, in 1900, the capital invested was re ported as $9,816,628,501, an increase of $9,313,383,213, or nearly seventeen and one-half times the amount invested in 1850. Diagram 1 Plate 180, represents, by the length of , the bars, the capital invested in manufactures at each census from 1850 to 1900, and shows the tremendous growth from census to census, the greatest increase noted, 133.9 per cent, being from 1880 to 1890. Diagram 1, Plate 181, represents the capital invested in each state and territory in 1900. New York is first, with $1,651,210,220; Pennsylvania second, with $1,551,518,712; Massachusetts and Illinois following with over $775,000,000 each. Nevada reported the smallest amount of capital invested in manufactures. The combined capital of the first six states shown on the diagram—New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, and New Jersey—was $5,911,169,165, or 60.0 per cent of the total amount reported. Diagram 2 on Plate 181 shows the capital invested by state groups in percentages of the total investment in 1900. The Middle states had the largest proportion, 10.2 per cent of the total amount invested; the^Central states ranking second, with 28.0 per cent; the New England states third, with 16.2 per cent; the Southern states fourth, with 9.7 per cent; the Pacific and West ern states following in order with about 3 per cent each. T he state groups or geographical divisions referred to in the discussion of manufactures, and represented in diagram 2, Plate 181, and diagram 2, Plate 182, are m up as follows: ade New England states—Maine, New Hampshire, Ver mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Middle states—New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva nia, Delaware, Maryland, and District of Columbia. Southern states—Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, and Texas. Central states—Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. Western states—Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, Utah, Colo rado, Kansas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Pacific states-—Washington, Oregon, and California. A verage N umber of W a g e -e a r n e r s . Diagram 2, Plate 180, represents the average number of wage-earners employed at each census from 1850 to 1900, and shows a large increase during each decade. The}- have not, however, increased as rapidly as either the capital invested or the value of products, due in part to the concentration of industries and to the increased use of improved machinery, which has enabled the manufacturer to increase the average output to each wage-earner. Diagram 4, Plate 180, represents the proportion of the average number of wage-earners employed in man ufactures to the aggregate population at each census from 1850 to 1900, and indicates that the proportion of wage-earners to population has increased during each decade, the greatest increases noted being from I860 to 1870 and 1880 to 1890. Diagram 1, Plate 182, represents the average number of wage-earners employed in manufactures in 1900, In states and territories. New York is first, with an average of 849,056; Pennsylvania second, with 733,834; Massachusetts third, with 497,448; and Illinois fourth, with 395,110; Nevada showing the smallest average number of wage-earners employed in manufactures, 601. The states in this diagram follow almost the sam e order as for capital invested, diagram 1 Plate 181. , Diagram 2, Plate 182, shows the average number of wage-earners employed in manufactures in 1900, by state groups, in percentages of the total number employed. The Middle states lead, with 37.3 per cent of the total number employed, followed by the Central states, with 27.7 per cent; the New England states, (83 ) 84 S T A TIS T IC A L ATLAS. cating values of products from $10,000 to $25,000 and from $25,000 to $100,000 per square mile, are found principally in West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. The location of an important cit\Tin nearly every por tion of the country is marked by the dark patch of color representing its manufactures and covering the county in which it is located. As similar m aps have not been prepared for previous censuses, it is impossible to com pare what might be termed the advance of the frontier line of manufactures, but, as estimated by the move ment of the center of manufactures, this line has evi dently progressed south and west, since 1850, from its early home in the New England and Middle states. A comparison of this map with Plate 13, representing the density of population per square mile in 1900, brings out the fact that the most densely populated areas show the greatest value of products of manufac tures per square mile.

The greatest increase reported for a 1870 was sixth, advancing to fourth place in 1880 and single decade was $4,002,858,092, or 74.5 per cent, from third in 1890. Ohio, fourth in 1870, was fifth in 1880, 1880 to 1890, the increase from 1890 to 1900 being which position it retained in 1900. Missouri, fifth in $3,666,842,283, or 39.1 per cent. 1870, fell to eighth place in 1880, but advanced to Plate 184 represents the value of products of manu seventh in 1890, which position it still held in 1900. factures, by states and territories, from 1850 to 1900, New Jersey, seventh in 1870, advanced to sixth in 1880, at each census for which these values could be obtained, and retained this position in 1900.

New York is first, with tenth in 1890, and to eleventh in 1900. The remaining $2,175,726,900, over $340,000,000 more than Pennsyl states also show great changes in rank from census to vania, the second state in order.

Plate 183 represents the proportion of average num ber of wage-earners employed in manufactures to total population in 1900, by states, and is of interest in show ing the proportion of the population in each state em ployed in this branch of industry. Rhode Island, with 23.1 per cent, or oyer one-tifth of its total population en o-ao-ed in manufactures, is first; Connecticut, with 19.5 per cent, second; Massachusetts, with 17.7 per cent, third; New Hampshire, with 17.1 per cent, fourth; and New Jersey, with 12.8 per cent, fifth. Delaware, New York, Pennsylrania, and Maine follow in order, each with oyer 10 per cent. The remaining states shown on the diagram reported less than 10 per cent of their population employed in manufactures. North Dakota, with less than 1 per cent, having the lowest percentage. MANUFACTURES. and territory shown has increased its value per capita of agricultural products. Plate 191 represents the value of all manufactured products and the proportional value of fourteen speci fied groups from 1880 to 1900. This diagram is based on the values given in the comparative summary of groups of industries (Twelfth Census, Volume VII, table l v i i i , page cxlv). The value of the total prod ucts of the fourteen groups is represented by the entire area of the circles, and the proportion in each group by the size of the sectors. The increases for the groups iron and steel and their products, chemicals and allied products, and metals and metal products other than iron and steel, from census to census, are especially noticeable. Diagram 1, Plate 192, represents, by the black and the white bars, the value of products of manufactures in 1900 and 1890, for fifteen groups of industries, thus comparing graphical^7 the value of products and the increase in each group. Food and kindred products, iron and steel and their products, textiles, and metals and metal products other than iron and steel, especially, show large increases. In total value of products, food and kindred products is first, with $2,277,702,010; iron and steel and their products second, with$1,793,490,908; and textiles third, with $1,637,484,484. Plate 189 represents the proportion of urban to total products of manufactures, by states and territories, in 1900, and shows that urban manufactures comprised over 90 per cent of the total value of products in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Illinois, Connecticut, and New York, and over 80 per cent in Nebraska, Ohio, Mis souri, Indiana, Kansas, and Colorado. . In only fourteen of the states and territories represented was the value of urban products less than 50 per cent of the total. Diagram 1, Plate 190, represents the value of prod ucts of manufactures in the leading manufacturing cities in 1900. The enormous production of New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, as compared with that of the other cities of the United States, is clearly shown, as well as the relative importance of these cities in the value of their manufactured products. Near large manufacturing cities, but outside of their corporate limits, are located many manufacturing establishments which are practically a continuation of the manufacturing industries of the cities, and in order to give some idea of the amount of manufactures in one hundred counties in which such cities are located, these counties were grouped, and the capital, wages, and value of products from 1860 to 1900 represented by dia gram 2, Plate 190. The tremendous increase in capital invested, from $1,715,376,089 in 1880 to $4,214,105,971 in 1890, and to $6,057,636,400 in 1900; and the increase in value of products from $3,578,959,287 in 1880 to $6,399,356,466 in 1890. and to $8,196,331,427 in 1900, arc well brought out. Diagram 3, Plate 190, represents the value of prod 85 ucts of urban and rural manufactures, by state groups, for 1900, and shows, first, the great value of products in the Middle and Central states, and second, the large proportion which the urban formed of the total in these states. Diagram 2, Plate 192, represents the capital, wages, and value of products for urban and rural districts in 1900, and shows graphically the relative importance of urban and rural manufactures, the urban capital being 79.2 per cent of the total, the wages 83.1 per cent, and the value of products 81.1 per cent. Taken collectively, capital, wages, and value of products of urban manu factures were more than four times the rural. Center of M anufactures. In order to ascertain the position of the center of manufactures at each census from 1850 to 1900, as shown on Plate 179, the gross value of products was distributed by square degrees, and the remainder of the computations made as in computing the center of population. (For full description of the method of computing the center see page 37.) The center of manu factures, therefore, is really the center of the value of its gross products, and as the value of products is representative of the industry, so the movement of the center of manufactures, during each decade, can be considered as the movement of the entire industry. Plate 179 is a sketch map on which is indicated, by symbols, the location of the center of manufactures at each census from 1850 to 1900, and the center of popu lation from 1790 to 1900, bringing out clearly the steady westward movement of both manufactures and population. The center of manufactures in 1850 was in Pennsyl vania, 41 miles northwest of Harrisburg, and the center of population at the same census was located 23 miles southeast of Parkersburg, in the present state of West Virginia, 240 miles southwest of the center of manu factures. In 1860 the center of population had ad vanced 81 miles nearly due west, while the center of manufactures had moved in a westerly direction 100 miles. From 1860 to 1870 the center of population moved nearly 42 miles north of west, while the center of manufactures moved slightly west of north 18 m iles. From 1870 to 1880 the center of population moved south and west 58 miles, while the center of manufactures moved north and west 30 miles. From 1880 to 1890 the center of population moved slightly north of west 48 miles, while the center of manufactures moved south of west about twice that distance. From 1890 to 1900 the center of population moved almost directly west 14 miles, while the center of manufactures moved in a parallel lino nearly 40 miles, or over twice the westward movement of the center of population. In general, the center of manufactures has followed the center of population in its westward movement, but not always along parallel lines, the greatest variations 86 S T A TIS T IC A L ATLAS. Plate 195 shows, by the length of the bars, the value of products in the three branches of the lumber indus try—logging cam sawmills, and planing mills—by ps, states and territories, for 1900. Michigan leads with $20,162,235 in the value of products of logging cam ps, and with $12,517,195 in sawmills, while New York, with $33,119,801, leads in the value of planing-mill products.

From 1850 to 1860, 1880 to 1890, and 1890 to 1900 the center of manufactures made a greater western advance than the center of population. The total westward move ment of the center of manufactures from 1850 to 1900 was 255 miles, and the westward movement of the center of population during the sam period 213 miles, e indicating that the movements of manufactures and population are closely related. Plate 191 represents the value of lumber and timber products at each census, from 1850 to 1900, for those states in which the industry was of importance, the states being arranged in the order of the value of prod ucts in 1900. The diagram indicates the growth of the industry in each state from census to census, and the great value of production in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota, as compared with the other states. It also shows the increase of this industry from 1880 to 1890 in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Washington, and in Michigan from 1860 to 1890. Michigan’s de crease of $28,831,119 in value of products, from 1890 to 1900, almost equaled the gain of $30,672,011 from 1880 to 1890. TEXTILES. Diagram 1, Plate 198, represents the value of prod ucts of the textile industry for each state in which it was of importance. Massachusetts, with products val ued at $213,612,791, is first; Pennsylvania, with $157,333,201, is second; New York, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maine, and Georgia following in order, each of these states reporting products with a valuation of over $20,000,000. The value of products for each of the remaining states appearing in the diagram was less than $10,000,000. The great importance of the textile industry in the New England and Middle states is .show by the immense value of products reported in n M A N U F YCTURES. 87 1900 for those divisions. The returns also indicate that this industry has become one of the most prominent in the Southern states. Cartogram 1 Plate 205, indicates, by shades of color, , the value per square mile of textile products in each state and territory. The map shows that the New Eng land states (except Maine and Vermont), Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and South Carolina had the greatest value of products and that the textile industry was practically confined to the region east of the Mississippi river. New York, Maine, Connecticut, and New Jersey, in the order named, were the only additional states reporting products valued at more than $12,000,000. Cartogram 3, Plate 205, presents, in four shades of color, the value per square mile of the products of wool manufactures represented in diagram 1, Plate 199, and shows that the greatest value of products, as compared with area, was in Massachusetts, Rhode Is land, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the remaining New England and Middle states showing smaller values per square mile. COTTON. HOSIERY AND K N IT GOODS. Plate 197—cotton production, exports, and consump tion from 1850 to 1900—represents, by the total area of the circles, the amount produced at each census, and by the size of the sectors, the proportion exported and the proportion used for northern and southern consump tion. The increase in production during each decade, except from 1860 to 1870, and the rapid increase in the amount consumed at home, due principally to the increase in southern consumption, is especially notice able. Southern consumption increased 168.7 per cent from 1890 to 1900, while northern consumption, during the sam period, increased only 9.3 percent. The fall e ing off in production and consumption of cotton from 1860 to 1870, due to the Civil War, is clearly indicated. Diagram 2, Plate 199, represents the value of prod ucts of hosiery and knit goods in the principal pro ducing states, New York being first with $35,886,048, and Pennsylvania second with $21,896,063. No other state approached these two in value of products. Cartogram 5, Plate 205, shows, in shades of color, the value of hosiery and knit goods products per square mile, the entire area of heavy production being confined to the New England and Middle states. COTTON GOODS. Diagram 5, Plate 198, represents the value of cotton goods in those states leading in their manufacture. Massachusetts leads with a value of products nearly four times as great as that of South Carolina, the sec ond state in rank. North Carolina, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire follow in the order given, each reporting products of cotton manufactures valued at more than $20,000,000. Cartogram 2, Plate 205, shows, in four shades of color, the value of products of manufactures of cotton goods per square mile in each state and territory. The heav iest shade, indicating the greatest valuation per square mile, covers New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti cut, and Rhode Island only. The next shade, repre senting a valuation from $100 to $1,000 per square mile, indicates that this industry was also of great im portance in the Middle and Southern states. WOOLEN GOODS, WORSTED GOODS, WOOL HATS, AND SHODDY. Diagram 1 Plate 199, represents the value of prod , ucts of the manufacture of woolen goods, worsted goods, wool hats, and shoddy in the states leading in their manufacture, and brings out clearly the great value of wool manufactures of Massachusetts ($73,536,659), Pennsylvania ($50,053,698), and Rhode Island ($39,187,522), as compared with the remaining states. SILK AND SILK GOODS. Diagram 3, Plate 199, represents the value of prod ucts of manufactures of silk and silk goods in the states reporting products valued at more than $400,000. New Jersey is first, with a value of $39,966,662; and Penn sylvania second, with $31,072,926, each of these states having a valuation more than double that of New York ($12,706,246), the next state in rank. The value of products in the four states—New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut—formed 89.6 per cent of the total value of silk and silk goods reported in 1900. Cartogram 4, Plate 205, shows, in shades of color, the value of products of silk and silk goods per square mile, and indicates that the greatest values were in Massa chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the value per square mile in the remaining states being very sm all. m e n ’s a n d w o m e n ’s c l o t h in g (fa c to r y p r o d u c t ).

The immense value of the product of New York, $233,370,447, as com pared with that of other states, is very effectively shown. Illinois with $47,153,491, Pennsylvania with $35,083,623, Ohio with $24,366,595, Maryland with $20,013,401, Massachusetts with $15,032,604, and Mis souri with $12,049,989, follow New York in the order named, and were the only states reporting a value of products of more than $10,000,000.
