countries. Curiously, even these old 

 and well developed countries do not take 

 as complete a census of manufactures as 

 does the United States, and a compari- 

 son of growth year by year or even 

 decade by decade is difficult. That dis- 

 tinguished statistician, the late Mr Mul- 

 hall, however, made shortly before his 

 death some careful calculations on the 

 value of the manufactures of the prin- 

 cipal countries of the world, especially 

 those of Europe, at various dates, and 

 these are generally accepted as the best 

 available information on this subject. 

 I shall now show you by the same pro- 

 cess which I have applied in the study 

 of our own figures his statement of the 

 value of manufactures in France, Ger- w 



many, and the United Kingdom from 

 1840 to the close of the century, com- 

 paring their growth with that of the 

 United States.
