taking. The rate of increase in capital and hands is nearly three times 

 as o-reat as in the whole country. The amount of material used has more 

 than doubled in South Carolina, while it has only increased seventy per 

 cent, in the United States, and this disparity would be greater if either 

 the value — over 3440,000,000 — of grain converted into flour and grist in 

 the United States Averc* deducted from the materials used in manufac- 

 tures, or the value— $25,000,000 — of seed cotton converted into lint and 

 seed by the gins of Carolina, were credited. The rate of increase in man- 

 facturecl products of South Carolina doubles that for the United States, 

 and the rate of increase in net products, that is, in products after deduct- 

 ing the cost of materials, is nearly three times as great. The impres- 

 sions thus derived from the data furnished by the U. S. Census will be 

 strengthened by a consideration of those given for 1882. The statement 

 for this data is based for the most part upon the U. S. Census returns of 

 1880, most of the items being taken directly from it. Other items have 

 been added in consequence of the development of new indu.stries not in 

 operation at that date. And a careful renumeration of cotton mills and 

 fertilizer factories has necessitated important additions. These will be 

 treated of in detail when the respective items are considered, and the fol- 

 lowing statement of manufactures in South Carolina in 1882, is given.
