Thursday, April 18, 1912. The Topmost Industies of the United States The bureau of the census has published its statement of the relative importance of the lead ing industries of the United States in 1909. The statement ranks 43 industries and "all other industries" according to three standards of comparison. The first consists of the average number of wage-earners em ployed by each industry; the second, of the gross value of its products; the third, of the value added to them by manufacture. According to the first stan dard, wage-earners employed, the leading industry was that of lumbering and the products of lumber, for this in 1909 claimed to employ 695,019 wage-earners. According to the second stan dard, value of the products, the foremost industry was that of slaughtering cattle and packing meats, for the grogs value of its products aggregated $1,370,568, 000. According to the third stan dard, value added by manufac ture, the chief industry was that of the foundry and the machine shop, for the value added to the raw materials by manufacturing them into finished products reached $688,464,000. The statement calls attention to the fact that on the whole the number of wage-earners and the value added by manufacture measure the relative importance of American industries rather better than do the gross value of their products. On this basis it is noteworthy that the foundry and the machine shop and lumber ing and the manufactures of lumber, respectively, ran second and third to cattle killing and meat packing. On each of the three bases the machine shop and the foundry, steel works and rolling mills, printing and publishing and the manufacture of cottons, of men's clothing and of boots and shoes all stand among the 10 topmost industries of the United States. The importance of breweries and distilleries is considered to be best shown by their number of wage-earning employes, ac cording to which the former is only 25th and the latter 43rd among American industries. The census took no account of neighborhood, hand or building industries, but confined itself to manufacturing in factories. Spokesman-Review. Now is the time when the country newspaper men are re ceiving letters from men they do not know and possibly never heard of, stating the writer is a candidate for some county or state office and any aid the editor can bestow will be greatly appreciated. Yes, no doubt it would. On the other hand any aid these politicians can bestow the editor to recompense him for space used in his paper would be appreciated. If pol iticians want to advertise their business why dont they include a check as evidence of good faith, for the amount of adver tising they desire and send along copy properly signed for adver tising? If there is any business in a newspaper man giving away his space any more than a mer chant giving away his goods we are unable to see here it comes in. Echo Echos.
