D. MACHINERY IN GERMANY. 



The growth of the productive powers in Germany is best 

 illustrated by the development of machinery. In the year 

 1879 Prussia had 29,985 standing engines (887,780 horse- 

 power), 5442 moving engines (47,100 horse-power), and 623 

 engines on ships (50,310 horse-power). Total, 35,960 

 engines (985,190 horse-power). Fifteen years later the re- 

 spective figures were: 57,224 standing (2,172,250 horse- 

 power), 14,425 moving (147,130 horse-power), and 1726 on 

 ships (219,770 horse-power). Total, 73,375 engines 

 ( 2 >539> I 5 horse-power). 



Same increase in Bavaria. In 1879, 2411 standing engines 

 (70,680 horse-power), 892 moving (5520 horse-power), and 98 

 on ships (2860 horse-power). Total, 3401 engines (79,060 

 horse-power). In 1889 there were 3819 standing engines 

 (124,680 horse-power), 2021 moving (13,730 horse-power), 

 and 38 on ships (4370 horse-power). Total, 5868 engines 

 (142,750 horse-power). 



For the German Empire Prof. Lexis estimated the total 

 of all engines in 1879 at 65,170 engines, 4,510,640 horse- 

 power. In 1892 the aggregate horse-power was 7,200,000, 

 namely, 2,500,000 horse-power in standing engines, 4,200,000 

 in moving, and 500,000 on ships (Schmoller's Jakrbuch, xix., 

 i-> P- 275). 



The rapid progress in the fabrication of machinery in 

 Germany is still better seen from the growth of the German 

 exports as shown by the following table : 



1890. 1895. 



Machines and parts thereof . .2,450,000 3,215,000 



Sewing-machines and parts thereof . 315,000 430,000 



Locomotives and locomobiles . . 280,000 420,000 



Every one knows that part of the German sewing-machines 

 and a considerable amount of tools find their way even into 

 this country, and that German tools are plainly recommended 

 in English books.
