UNIVERSITY or THE FOLLOWING CHARTS illustrate the progress and present condition of the commerce of the world, of the manufacturing industries of the United States, and of British and American shipping. This graphic method shows more clearly than statistics alone would do, what proportion of the world's trade belongs to each of the principal nations, and the relative importance, from a manufac- turing standpoint, of the leading cities of the United States. An alphabetical list of the cities of the United States, having an output of over $20,000,000 of manufactured goods, according to the census of 1900, is also given with the leading industries of each city. 125306 Chart i gives the commerce of the world, by grand divisions, for the year 1900. It shows that Europe has two-thirds of the world's commerce, United Kingdom one-fifth, Germany one-eighth, and United States one- tenth. Charts 2 to 7 give the commerce of the grand divisions by countries. The United States alone has more commerce than the whole of Asia, and twice as much as either Oceania, South America or Africa. Charts 8 to 20 give the import trade of the leading countries in each grand division. The United States is first in the value of imports into the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and Mexico, and is second in the value of imports into France and Japan. More than two-thirds of the imports into Canada, and over one- half of those into Mexico are from the United States. The United Kingdom is first in the value of imports into France, Japan, Cape Colony, Egypt, United States, Argentina, Chile and Australia, and is second in the value of imports into Germany, China, Canada and Mexico. Germany is second in the value of imports into Argentina and Chile. Hongkong has about 40 per cent, of the import trade of China. It is a free port, belonging to Great Britain; goods from all nations are landed there, and afterwards reshipped to China and other Oriental countries.

It will be noticed that the largest percentage of increase, in any decade, was from 1850 to 1860. Foreign commerce, as we consider it, was almost unknown a century and a half ago. In 1800, the world's commerce was about equal to that of the United States in 1880, and even in 1850, it was less than that of the United Kingdom in 1900. Since 1850 the world's commerce has increased so rapidly that it is now six times as large as it was then. Charts 22, 23, and 24 show the progress of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany by decades; the latter only since 1870, because, prior to that, there was no German Empire, and the combined statistics of the various states are not available. It will be seen in chart 22 that the United States commerce has increased since 1850, until it is now seven times as great as it was then. The largest percentage of increase, for the United States, was in the decade from 1850 to 1860. In chart 23 it will be seen that the per- centage of increase of the United Kingdom has been less than that of the other two nations, and it was largest from 1850 to 1860. Taking the period from 1870 to 1900 United States trade increased 173 per cent., German trade 144 per cent., and British trade 50 per cent. 26 Commerce of the World since 1850 Aggregate of Imports and Exports (Values given in Millions of Dollars). 3,800 1850 7,200 1860 10,500 1870 14,500 1880 16,800 1890 21,784 1900 21 27 Commerce of the United States since 1830 Aggregate of imports and Exports (Values given in Millions of Dollars.) 134 1830 22 1840 318 1850 687 1860 1870 1,504 1880 1,647 1890 2,244 i goo Commerce of the United Kingdom since 1850 28 810 Aggregate of Imports and Exports In Millions of Dollars 1,820 1850 1860 2,630 1870 3,350 1880 3,557 1890 3,961 1900 23 Commerce of Germany since 1870 Aggregate of Imports and Exports (Values given in Millions of Dollars). 1,386 1880 1,828 1890 2,529 1900 Charts 25, 26 and 27 are on the same scale, and give the im- ports and exports of the United States, United Kingdom, and Ger- many, by countries, so that the relative value of the imports and exports can be readily seen. In chart 26 it is shown that the United Kingdom buys more from the United States than from all its colo- nies. In chart 25 it is seen that our best customer is the United Kingdom, followed by Germany, Canada, and the Netherlands, and that we sell much more to these countries than they do to us, while the reverse is the case with France, Brazil, Japan, and Cuba. Chart 27 shows that Germany buys more from us than we buy from them. This is one of the causes of complaint in Germany against the United States tariffs, yet we can do better without the things Ger- many furnishes us than they can without the goods we furnish them. During the ten years from 1891 to 1901, the largest increase in the value of imports was: the United Kingdom, $421,000,000; Germany, $303,000,000; and Netherlands, $279,000,000. The largest increase in the value of exports was: the United States, $340,000,000; Germany, $299,000,000; the United Kingdom, $274,- 000,000; and the Netherlands, $236,000,000. The largest percent- age of increase was in the less developed regions. Cape Colony, Argentina, Egypt, and Russia have the largest percentage of in- crease in the value of imports, while Japan, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina have the largest percentage of increase in the value of exports.

Indies Argentine Republic France Russia (Europe* Asia) Austria - Hungary % U. K. O 104.6 27 34 Charts 28 and 29 are drawn on the same scale in order to show the comparative value of the products of the farm and the factory. In 1900, the value of farm products was 142 per cent, greater than in 1870, and the value of manufactured products was 207 per cent, greater. The value of the exports of agricultural products was 131 per cent, greater, and the value of the exports of manufactured products was 536 per cent, greater in 1900 than in 1870. In com- paring the value of the exports of manufactured products with the total production, it is more correct to use the shaded blocks, as these include all items of export, which are considered manufac- tured products, in the census statistics. The shaded block, in 1900, shows that only about 6 per cent, of all our manufactured products are exported. Consumption, in this country, has grown almost as rapidly as production. This is largely due to high wages and the increased purchasing power arising therefrom. The necessity for foreign trade, however, is becoming yearly more apparent because of the rapid and enormous increase of the productive capacity of our manufacturing industries, which, in 1850, was only $40.93 per capita, but in 1900 was $170 42 per capita. There are no statistics available, for the year 1900, showing the manufactured products of the larger nations, but if we take estimates made for 1896 as a test, we find that the United States manufactured over twice as much as the United Kingdom, and more than France, Germany, Russia, and Austria combined. There is little doubt that the present amounts, if known, would make as favorable a showing for the United States. While it is true that in manufacturing we outrank other nations, when it comes to foreign commerce this is not the case. If we con- sider the per capita imports and exports of the leading nations, we will find that the United States does not hold as high a rank as many smaller nations. Our imports in 1901 amounted to $11.80 per capita, while those of the Netherlands amounted to $159.80; Belgium, $64.90; Switzerland, $61.00; United Kingdom, $61.00, and Australia, 55.00 per capita. In exports, the United States per capita, in 1901, was $17.80, while that of the Netherlands was $136.40; Australia, $65.30; Belgium, $53.40, and Switzerland, $48.90. The nations having the lowest per capita of imports and exports in 1901 were: China Imports, $0.50 per capita. Exports, $0.31 per capita.

Chart 33 shows the principal articles of domestic manufacture exported. While the United States leads in the export of domestic products, it is below the United Kingdom and Germany in the value of the exports of manufactured goods; but the increase in the ex- ports of manufactured goods from the United States during the last ten years has been greater, both in amount and percentage, than that of its three largest competitors the United Kingdom, Ger- many, and France. Charts 34-84 illustrate the production and exports of the manufactured products of the United States. Chart 34 gives the comparative value of the leading classes of manufactured products according to the census of 1900. Food and kindred products lead, in the value of the output, in the census year, followed by iron and steel and their products, and by textiles. Hand trades come next, followed by lumber and its manufactures. 38 United States Exports in 1901 Fiscal Year ending June 30 Grouped according to Sources of Production $1,460,400,000 (Values given in Millions of Dollars.)

Chart 35 Slaughtering and meat packing, wholesale. This industry is found chiefly in Illinois (which manufactures three- eighths), Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Indiana. Large cities have a greater percentage of this industry than is generally the case with manufactured products, Chicago alone having over one-third. This does not include Slaughtering, wholesale (not packing), which covers fresh meats; the value of fresh meat prod- ucts in 1900 was $87,000,000. Chart 36 Flouring and grist mill products. This is the second largest industry in this group, and is widely diffused, more than three-fourths being carried on outside of the large centers. Min- neapolis, the largest flour manufacturing center, produces only about nine per cent, of the total output. Chart 37 Sugar and molasses refining. This industry is car- ried on chiefly at ports where the raw material, which is nearly all imported, can be readily obtained. It is the leading manufacturing industry of Boston, Brooklyn, New Orleans, and San Francisco, and the second of Philadelphia. 44 United States Manufactures in 1900 Slaughtering and Meat Packing, Wholesale Value of products, $699,000,000 Jill o+her cities (Values given in Millions of Dollars.)

Chart 38 Iron and steel. This is the leading industry in this group, and includes the products of blast furnaces, rolling mills, steel works, iron ore forges and bloomeries. Pittsburg is the lead- ing center in this industry. Pennsylvania produced more than 54 per cent, of the total product of this class, Illinois, Ohio, and Ala- bama following in the order of value. Chart 39 Foundry and machine shop products. This is second in importance of the iron and steel industries. It is more widely diffused than the manufacture of iron and steel, and is found, to some extent, in every large city, and wherever machinery is needed for any purpose. Chicago leads, followed by New York and Philadelphia. Chart 40. Hardware is one of the most important of the re- maining iron industries. In this a number of New England towns rank high, New Britain being first. Chart 41 gives the exports of hardware, and, as w 7 ill be seen in most of the export charts, the United Kingdom leads. The total exports of all iron and steel and their products, as can be seen from chart 33, was $117,006,000, or more than one-fourth of all the manufactured products exported. 4 8 United States Manufactures in 1900 Iron and Steel Value of products, $804,000,000 / / other ci+tes + s i d e /o / a c e (Values given in Millions of Dollars.)

The leading textile industry is that of cotton manufacturing. Chart 42 shows the enormous increase in the quantity of cotton produced. The amounts inside the columns show that the value has not increased in the same ratio as the quantity. This is due to the decrease in the price of cotton per pound. The development of the export trade in cotton, since 1870, has has been as great as that of production. Over one- third of the cotton crop is consumed in this country, less than one- third is sold to the United Kingdom, and about one- third to the rest of the world. Chart 43 shows the great advance made in cotton manufactures in this country. In 1900 the United States factories consumed more than three times as much raw cotton as they did in 1870, and six times as much as in 1850. The value of cotton goods manu- factured in the United States, as shown in the chart, has not in- creased in the same ratio. This is due to the reduction of the price per yard arising from the lower price of raw cotton and the lower cost of manufacture. The United States consumes more cotton than any other nation. A large part of the goods manufactured in the United States are coarse or medium yarns, while in Europe finer yarns are in use; therefore, the value of our output is not as great as that of Great Britain. As the United States continues to increase the manufac- ture of its cotton into goods, and more especially into finer grades, which it is gradually doing, it will secure a large share of the profits now obtained by foreign countries from the manufacture of Ameri- can cotton into cotton goods. 53 United States Production and Export PRODUCTION 10.3 469 Figures outsi.le of diagram denote Millions of Bales Figures inside of diagram denote Millions of Dollars EXPORTS 5-7 242 4-9 42 Cotton 54 United States Production, Import and Export Values given in Millions of Dollars PRODUCTION IMPORTS K EXPORTS o o o o 43 o o o o o o I f I f I I Cotton Goods CO 00 00 55 Chart 44 shows that Massachusetts produces more cotton goods than any other State, and also shows, what is not generally known, that South Carolina and North Carolina follow, in the order of the value of output of manufactured cotton goods. Chart 45 gives the product by cities. Fall River is first, fol- lowed by Philadelphia; all the other cities, excepting Augusta, Georgia, which is the lowest given, are in the New England States. The exports of cotton goods are given in charts 46 and 47. These show that China is the largest purchaser of United States cotton goods, followed by Aden and Latin American countries. Chart 48 shows that Great Britain and her Colonies buy most of the wearing apparel exported from the United States. 56 United States Manufactures in 1900 Cotton Manufactures. Giving Leading States.

It also shows the fluctuations in the import of wool, in some years equaling one- third, and in 1900 one-half the production. Chart 50 shows the development of the wool manufacturing industries, the value of which is now six times as much as it was in 1850. It also shows a falling off in the import of woolen goods since 1890. Chart 51 Woolen goods. In this Philadelphia leads with nearly one- sixth of tne total production. Chart 52 Worsted goods. Lawrence, Mass., leads, followed by Providence and Philadelphia. The census of 1900 shows a falling off in the manufacture of woolens proper, and a marked increase in that of worsted goods. Some of the larger worsted mills in this country have a greater output than any foreign mill. Chart 53 Carpets and rugs. The United States is tne greatest carpet manufacturing nation in the world. It produced nearly 80,000,000 square yards of carpets in 1900, of which quantity Philadelphia alone manufactured over 40 per cent. 62 United States' Production and Imports Quantities in Millions of Pounds PRODUCTION 3025 IMPORTS 49 Wool OF THE UNIVERSITY United States' Production and Imports Values given in Millions of Dollars PRODUCTION 297 270 238 199 IMPORTS 34 34 73 49 50 Wool Manufactures 64 United States Manufactures in 1900 Woolen Goods Value of product?, $118,000,000 All other cities and outside places (Values given in Millions of Dollars.)

These were formerly classified with woolen goods, but now more cotton than wool is used in their manufacture. More machine knit goods, both under- wear and hosiery, are turned out in the United States than in any other country in the world. Philadelphia leads in this industry, followed by Cohoes, where knitting machines were first used. The industry is carried on chiefly in New York and Pennsylvania. Chart 55 Cordage and Twine. These products are made out of cotton, flax, hemp (mainly Manila and sisal), and jute. The chief products are binder twine, made mainly out of sisal; sisal and Manila rope; and gunny bagging made out of jute. As most of the materials are imported, the industry is carried on largely at the chief sea ports. Chart 56 Collars and Cuffs. This industry is almost entirely confined to the city of Troy. It is largely a home industry. There is hardly a town, within thirty miles of Troy, in which the female population is not engaged in some part of the collar and cuff busi- ness. Troy produces 86 per cent, of these products. 68 United States Manufactures in 1900 Hosiery and Knit Goods Value of products, $95, 000,000 (Values given in Millions of Dollars.)

Although all the raw material is imported, the United States has, in 50 years, become the chief silk manufacturing nation of the world, with the possible exception of France, the value, but not the quantity of whose products in this industry, may slightly exceed that of the United States. Chart 58 Silk and Silk Goods. Paterson, N. J., is the leading city in this industry, producing about one-fourth of the output. The bulk of the silk manufacturing industry is in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Plain and fancy silks, $39, 000,000, constitute the largest item of the silk output, followed by ribbons, $18,000,000, and sewing silk and machine twist $9,000,000. Chart 59 Dyeing and Finishing Textiles. This industry is carried on in independent establishments, as well as in connection with textile factories. It is natural that the three leading textile cities Philadelphia, Paterson, and Fall River should lead in the dyeing and finishing textile industry.

Chart 60 Lumber and Timber Products. These include the logging industry, and the saw-mill industry, and are generally located in or near forest regions. The statistics can only be given by states. The three greatest lumber states are Wisconsin, Michigan and Min- nesota followed by Pennsylvania. Seventy-five per cent, of the sawed lumber consists of pines, and 24.8 percent, of hard woods: Southern yellow pine being 27.8 per cent, of all lumber, white pine 21.5 per cent., oak 12.8 per cent., and hemlock 9.8 per cent. The output is increasing in the Southern and Pacific States and decreas- ing in other sections. Chart 6 1 Planing Mill Products. The distribution of this industry is influenced, not only by the presence of forests, but also by that of large bodies of population. The three leading states are New York, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and the leading cities are New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. The finished product of the saw-mill is the raw product of the planing mill. Chart 62 Furniture. This industry, like that of the planing mill, is found near large centers of population. It will be seen that, with the exception of Grand Rapids and Sheboygan, the largest furniture manufacturing centers are in the large cities of the United States. Chart 63 Exports of Furniture. Over one-half of these are sent to Great Britain and her Colonies and one-fifth to Mexico and Cuba. In 1901 the exports of timber amounted to nearly $10,000,000, the United Kingdom taking nearly one-half, followed by Germany and Canada. The exports of lumber and planing mill products amounted to about $20,000,000, the United Kingdom leading, with nearly one- fourth, followed by Canada, Argentina, Germany and the Netherlands. The total value of the exports of wood and manufactures of, in 1901, was $50,000,000. 76 United States Manufactures in 1900 Lumber and Timber Products Value of products, $566,000,000 (Values given in Millions of Dollars.)

Pennsyl- vania produces over one-fourth, and Massachusetts one-eighth of the leather output, New York and Wisconsin following. Philadelphia is the leading city followed by Newark, Milwaukee and Wilming- ton. Wisconsin leads in the output of rough leather, Pennsylvania in sole leather and goatskins and Massachusetts in calfskin and upper leather. Chart 65 Exports of Leather. The United Kingdom pur- chased over two-thirds of all the leather exported from the United States. Chart 66 Boots and Shoes. Massachusetts manufactures nearly one-half of all the shoes made in factories in the United States, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Maine fol- lowing in the order of the value of products. The leading cities are Brockton, Lynn, Haverhill all in Massachusetts. This indus- try is gaining rapidly in the West, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago, Columbus, Milwaukee and other western cities having large estab- lishments. There were 219,000,000 pairs of shoes, gaiters, etc., made in the United States during the census year. Chart 67 Exports of Boots and Shoes. The United King- dom and British Australasia buy over half of the exports of shoes from the United States, followed by Canada, Mexico and Cuba. Improved machinery has enabled the United States to make shoes cheaper than any other country. Chart 68 Saddlery and Harness. This industry is widely distributed, only one-fourth being carried on in the larger cities. Chicago leads, Dallas, Texas, ranks above Baltimore and Phila- delphia.

This is given by counties, as many of the larger paper and wood pulp establishments are not in cities. The New England States and New York have the main spruce supplies of the United States which are so necessary in the manufacture of wood pulp. New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin follow in the value of products in the order given. Hampden County, Massachusetts, in which Holyoke, the largest paper manufacturing city, is located, leads in value of product. Chart 70 Glass. Nearly five-sevenths of the glass factories are found outside of the leading cities. Pittsburg leads, and all of the cities given, excepting Millville and Philadelphia, are located either in the gas belt of Pennsylvania or Indiana. Chart 71 Exports of Glassware. One-half of the glass ex- ported is sent to Great Britain and her Colonies, over one-fourth going to Canada alone. Mexico ranks next to Canada, taking about one-fifth. Chart 72 Exports of Paints. Great Britain and her Colonies buy over one-half the exports, Germany and France together, about one-sixth. Chart 73 Pottery and Terra Cotta. While the manufacture of this class of products is increasing, most of the finest products are still imported, but the success of the Rookwood and Newcomb Potteries gives promise of an increased demand for the art produc- tion of the United States. The value of pottery products amounted, in 1900, to about $18,000,000, and of terra cotta to $26,000,000. The two great pottery centres are East Liverpool, Ohio, and Tren- ton, New Jersey. These two produce about one-half of the pottery made in the United States. 87 United States Manufactures in 1900 Paper and Wood Pulp Value of products, $127,000,000 (Values given in Millions of Dollars.)

This industry is carried on almost entirely in cities, and chiefly in the East. Providence produces 27.6 per cent., New York 21 per cent., Newark 15.8 percent., and the Attle- boros 1 8 per cent. Chart 57 The Exports of Jewelry. Canada buys over one- half of all the jewelry exported from the United States. Chart 76 Brass Castings and Finishings. This industry, like jewelry, is largely confined to cities, Waterbury and Bridgeport, both in Connecticut, producing over one-fourth. Chart 77 Exports of Brass and its Manufactures. Three- fourths of these are exported to Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany. Chart 78 Exports of Clocks and Parts. The value of clocks made in the United States is about $7,000,000, over 60 per cent, of which is made in Connecticut. Of the exports of clocks and parts 82 per cent, are sold to Great Britain and her Colonies. 93 United States Manufactures in 1900 Jewelry Value of products, $46,000,000 (Values given in Millions of Dollars.)

Three- fourths of the car- riages and wagons are made outside of the leading cities. Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois near the hard wood forests are the leading states. Cincinnati makes more carriages than any other city. South Bend, Indiana, and Racine, Wisconsin, having excel- lent facilities for reaching Chicago and other large cities, are promi- nent centers of this manufacture. Chart 80 Exports of Carnages and Parts. Two-thirds of this class of exports are sold to Great Britain and her Colonies. The imports of carriages have decreased and the exports of carriages and parts increased during the last ten years. Chart 8 1 Agricultural Implements. The distribution of estab- lishments manufacturing agricultural implements is not determined by the rank of the state in agriculture, for Kansas, one of the largest agricultural states, has few establishments manufacturing agricul- tural implements. The nearness to hard wood forests has caused a rapid increase, in this industry, in the Central West. Illinois makes 40 per cent, of all the agricultural implements made in the United States, Chicago, alone, making nearly one- fourth Chicago's im- portance is due to its manufacture of harvesting implements, South Bend's to its manufacture of plows. In 1900 there were 819,000 walking plows, 136,000 sulky plows, 718,000 scythes, 397,000 mowers, 233,000 harvesters and binders, 295,000 wheel cultivators, 206,000 small cultivators, and 129,000 corn planters manufactured in the United States. Chart 82 Exports of Agricultural Implements. More than one-half of the exports of agricultural implements is sold to Europe. Germany leads, followed by Canada, France, Great Britain and Russia. Argentina and British Australasia buy less than any of the countries already mentioned. Chart 83 Electrical Apparatus and Supplies. The manufac- ture of electrical apparatus and supplies is of recent origin, yet it has grown to be an immense business. The average per capita ex- penditure on electricity in the United States is $7.00. This includes not only the demand for electrical supplies, but also the cost of electric traction, lighting, power, and for telegraph and telephone. NewYork, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Massachusetts are the four leading states in this industry, and manufacture over two-thirds of the product. Pittsburg, Chicago and New York are the leading cities. Chart 84 Exports of Scientific Instruments and Electrical Apparatus. This class of goods is exported mainly to Europe, the United Kingdom, as usual, leading in the amount bought from the United States. 99 United States Manufactures in 1900 Carriages and Wagons Value of products, $122,000,000 (Values given in Millions of Dollars.)

According to Lloyd's Register for 1901-2 the gross tonnage of all vessels of over TOO tons belonging to the nations mentioned was as follows: United Kingdom . . . 13,656,161 tons United States .... 3,077,344 " Germany 2,905,782 Norway 1,627,220 " France 1,406,883 Russia 789,253 " Spain .. t 786,355 tons Sweden 676,219 Japan , , . 644,664 Netherlands 578,109 Denmark 508,194 Austria- Hungary . , . . 486,802 No other nation has 300,000. This makes the United States second in the amount of tonnage, but of this, only a small portion is engaged in foreign trade. According to the report of the United States Commissioner of Navigation^ which includes vessels of less than 100 tons, there were in the merchant marine of the United States, in 1901, 5,524,000 gross tons, of which only 879,000 tons were engaged in the foreign trade. The increase in American tonnage has been in the coastwise shipping, in- cluding lake tonnage, which latter alone amounts to 1,706,000 tons. This in- crease is due to the protection given by the law prohibiting the carrying of goods from one American port to another in any but American vessels. In chart 85, it will be seen that since 1826 there has been a steady decrease in the percentage of the foreign trade of the United States carried in American vessels. In igoi the value of the foreign commerce of the United States car- ried in vessels was nearly ten times as great as it was in 1840, and yet the value of that part of this trade carried in American vessels is less now than it was then. The early fathers believed in protecting American shipping, and by dis- criminating acts in favor of American vessels, passed in 1789, and the act laying 10 per cent, extra duties on goods coming in foreign ships, passed in 1794, they aided in the wonderful development of the American merchant marine. A large part of this advantage was gradually frittered away by the various free shipping reciprocity acts, ending with that of 1828, which deprived American vessels engaged in foreign trade of all the protection given by the older laws. In 1847, American Transatlantic steamers were first subsidized, and Ameri- can vessels not only secured a large share of their own trade, but also an in- creasing share of that of Great Britain. The withdrawal of these subsidies in 1858 started the rapid decline of American shipping engaged in the foreign trade, which then amounted to 73.8 per cent. Among other causes affecting adversely American shipping engaged in the foreign trade there may be mentioned The change from wooden to iron and steel ships at a time when Great Britain had a monopoly of the manufacture of iron and steel; the sale of a number of vessels during the Civil War to lessen the cost of insurance and also to avoid the danger of capture by privateers; the absorption of the money and energies of the country from 1870 to 1900 in developing our manufacturing and mining industries. This latter period was the era of railroad building in the United States, not shipbuilding. io6 Percentage of Foreign Trade carried in American Vessels United States vessels Foreign vessels o o o & O> 00 O o 3r ^ GO 00 OJ CO 85 United States Tonnage and Foreign Trade Shipping in tons 1826 . 1830 . 1840 . 1850 . 1860 . 1870 . 1880 . 1890. 1900 . 1901 . 696,000 537,000 762,000 1,439,000 2,379,000 1,448,000 1,314,000 928,000 816,000 879,000 Total Imports and Total Imports and Kxports carried Exports carried in vessels in American vessels Values given in Millions of Dollars 162 144 249 330 762 99 I 1,482 i,573 2,089 2,151 150 129 198 239 507 352 258 202 !95 177 107 COMPARISON OP BRITISH AND AMERICAN SHIPPING. Chart 86 gives a comparison of the progress of shipping in the United Kingdom and the United States since 1850, by decades, the amounts being given in thousands of tons. The figures inside the columns represent the total shipping; the figures outside, the shipping engaged in the foreign trade. In each year the column to the left shows the shipping of the United Kingdom and the column on the right that of the United States. United States figures are given iu gross tons as those for net tons were not available over so long a period. Gross tonnage is the entire internal cubical capacity of a vessel in tons of 100 cubic feet each. Net tonnage is obtained by deducting from gross tonnage the space for the accommodation of the crew and that occupied by the ma- chinery. In sailing vessels the difference between the two is not more than 5 per cent., but in steam vessels it may be over 40 per cent. It will be seen that in 1850 and 1860 the United States gross tonnage was greater than the net tonnage of Great Britain. Since 1860 there has been an extraordinarily large increase in foreign commerce, but the United States share of it has steadily decreased, while that of the United Kingtom has steadily increased until now, considering vessels of over 100 tons, more than half the tonnage of the world floats the British flag. It is to be hoped that now, when the moneyed interests of the country are looking toward the sea, the United States will, ere long, rapidly increase the American tonnage engaged in the foreign trade. All Americans are pleased to see our merchant princes through their ownership of the International Mercan- tile Marine Company secure the profits and the control of so many foreign ves- sels. There is no doubt that these men, in common with many of their fellow citizens, would welcome the day when their fleets would be composed of a larger number of American-built vessels. To bring this result about needs the wisdom and skill of both our greatest merchants and leading statesmen. Discriminating duties in favor of American vessels in the early years of the country, and a national subsidy near the middle of the last century were useful in building up our merchant marine. The statesmen of today should find some method suitable to existing con- ditions whereby they can aid our merchants in securing for American-built vessels a larger share of our foreign trade. Objection to government aid to foreign shipping is often made on the ground that it makes no difference to us whether our goods are carried in American or foreign vessels. Those holding this view lose sight of the fact that commerce consists of transportation as well as trade. The cost of freight is an export of the country owning the vessel and an import of the country that has to pay the freight to foreign vessel owners. The money received by ship own- ers for goods carried in their vessels is as much a credit to their country as money received for goods exported, and money paid by any country to foreign ship owners for freight is as much a debit as money paid for goods imported, and this cost forms an important factor in adjusting the balance of trade. It has been estimated that the freight and insurance on vessels carrying the foreign trade costs from 10 to 15 per cent, of the value of the goods. If we take the lower estimate the United States pays out about $200,000,000 annually for freight to foreign ship owners. A large part of this should, and under proper laws would, be paid to American owners and in this way decrease the amount payable to foreign countries for our imports. loS Comparison of Tonnage of the United Kingdom and the United States since 1850 Tonnage engaged in Foreign Trade Tonnage engaged in Domestic Trade Amounts in thousands of tons Gross tonnage given for United States Net tonnage given-fir United Kingdom I Tonnage of the United Kingdon and the United States.

The Board maintains the Commercial Museum and a Com- mercial Library, and is accumulating material for a group of city museums devoted to public education, ethnology, economics, eco- nomic botany and general science. The Commercial Museum comprises collections illustrating the production and commerce of all nations. A Bureau of Informa- tion collates all available data regarding the subject of foreign trade, and distributes, upon application, reports tending to the extension of American trade abroad. The Commercial Library is free to the public and contains books bearing particularly on the subjects of international trade, production, transportation, banking, economics, and municipal affairs. The Bureau of Information, Commercial Library and executive offices, together with a part of the collections of the Commercial Museum and an extensive collection of foreign trade samples, are located at 233 South Fourth Street, and are open daily, except Sundays and legal holidays, from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M., Saturdays to 12 M. An extensive series of collections belonging to the Com- mercial Museum and illustrating particularly South American, Asiatic and African countries, and also general collections acquired in the development of the remaining contemplated museums, are located at Thirty-fourth Street and Vintage Avenue, West Phila- delphia. The Museums are maintained by an annual appropriation from the City of Philadelphia, and the Bureau of Information by contri- butions from business firms and individuals desiring special service. 14 DAY USE RETURN TO DESK FROM WHICH BORROWED LOAN DEPT.
