Comparison of riguxes. ' . The census of 1909, like that of 1904, was confined to manufacturing estao- . lishments. conducted under the factory system, as distinguished from the neigh borhood hand and building industries. The statistics for 1899 have been reduced to- a comparable basis by eliminating the latter classes of Industries. : The ' census does -not include establishments which were Idle during the entire year or had a value of products of less than 8500, or the manufacturing done In edu cational, eleemosynary and penal Insti tutions or In governmental establKh - ments, except those of the federal gov ernment... ' ' It Is pointed out In the statement that the best measure of the relative Import , a nee of the various industries is the value added by manufactures, which Is the value created as the result of the manufacturing operations carried on within, the Industry. This total Is .ob tained by deducting the cost of mater ials consumed from the value of ".product.' "'vo.'. ,;,; There were (49 establishments in 1909, as compared with -437 in 1904; and 40S In 1899. The value of their prod ucts was 146,861,000 in 1909, as against (28,651,000 In 1904 and $16,904,000 In 1899. The Value added by manufacture was $21,785,000 in 1909; $11,627,000 In , 1S04 and $6,727,000 In 1899. The 'total number of persons engaged was 14,891 In 1909 and 9,594 In 1904. Of these 1914 were salaried employes la 1909 as compared with 1026 In 1904 and (63 In. 1899, and 12.214 .was the average number of wage earners in 1909, as com pared with 8171 in 1904 and 6380 in 1899. , ' Leading Industries.
