Now. let us look at the amount of gold and silver during the decades I have named. Front 1850 to 1860. $551.650.000 was produced in the United States. from 1860 to 1870. $575.000.000. from 1870 to 1880. $755.063.792. from 1880 to 1890. $817.213.501. So with an increase from year to year in immigration. more mouths to feed. more gold and silver. more people in the country. more prosperity Irom a high tariff. according to our friends on the other side. the census shows a decrease in these manulacturing States in agricultural wealth steadily from year to year. ]n the last canvass Mr. Blaine made a statement which was quoted largely throughout the country showing how the manufacturing States consumed the product of the agricultural States. and how much we were therefore indebted to them. His statement. which I quote. is as follows: In 1860. six New Ergiglnd States and Pennsylvania and New York had in wenltl $.123.000.000. in 100). $16.228.000.000. an increaseof 216 per cent.
