Such disturbances as this must always stand on the debit side of the ledger as real destructive effects, but in the main manufactures were not only flourishing from the financial point of view, but the actual output was increased. We produced in 1864 50 per cent more iron rails than in any year before the war. Much the same was true of many other lines of manufacture. Even more surprising, perhaps, was the agricultural situation. Here the reserve forces of labor made themselves most apparent. W...hen the men went to the front the women and the boys took their places on the farms. The situation was well expressed by the popular verse of the times: Just take your ;'im and go. For Ruth can drive the oxeu, John, And I can use the hoe. The truly surprising feature of this agricultural expansion was not that the increased production was exhausted by the demand for food supplied for the Army, but that the surplus above our own needs was also increased, and we actually exported more grain in 1863 and 1861 for European consumption than we had ever done before, and this with more than a million men removed from the ranks of industry.
