The number of establishments was 2254 in 1891, 3163 in 1001, and 3377 in 919. The productive employees, numbered 25,633 in 1891, 41,197 in 1901, and 61.729 in 1919. Value added 'by manufacture was £3,837,974 in 1891, ’ £5,491,744 in 1901, and £16,794,073 in 1919. New Zealand people had’"passed the stage of considering whether it was wise to establish industries. They had established them, and some of these were in a very large way. They had in their cities a very large population engaged in these industries, for whom probably there was no other outlet of employ - ment. He believed the Government could with advantage to the people encourage these industries.
