The most striking fact which appears on the face of this tabic, is the uniformity of proportion in value between the raw material and the manufactured article — a uniformity natural in all cases where labour, either simple, or 
aided only by simple auxiliary power, has been applied. The application of machinery destroys this balance, and, by substituting what may be called cheaper labour, enables the manufactured article to be sold at a price less in 
proportion to that of the raw material than could otherwise be done, and the more this principle is acted on, the nearer will the value of the manufactured article approximate to that of the raw material; and the advantage to 
the community may be best understood, by mentally supposing the principle to its utmost extent, and the article grown as it were in a finished state". To this fact there is an exception in the cotton, which, it is probable, might 
even be sold at a lower rate when manufactured, than it is now ; and it may be remarked, as an interesting circumstance, that the Glasgow manufacturers have found it advantageous to employ the simple labour of the Irish 
weaver in this production. The change also, in the linen manufactory, of independent weavers into weavers working for establishments is another curious fact, and, as the same course was pursued in the first stages of the cotton 
manufactory, as detailed by Mr. Baines in his able History of its growth and state, it may he reasonably considered as a great and most important improvement, without which the manufacture must have continued to languish 
jrom the increased cost of the article, consequent on the loss of time, which attends the independent mode in which each weaver has to buy his own materials, and to seek his own market. In other manufactures a few obvious 
lacts are brought lorward by this Table. In lime the profit is exceedingly small, and it has been ingeniously added to by the union of salt pans with the lime kilns. In tanning the price of the bark is one of the greatest elements 
ot expense, and to reduce the price of leather the most important step would be the reduction of the price of that necessary ingredient, or the substitution of some equivalent for il. In this parish the tanners add to their profit by 
joining to their manufactory the advantages of retail sale. On the whole, here as everywhere, the profit being in nearly a constant ratio to the outlay, the greater the capital applied, the more the advantage obtained.
