I don't have a subscription and can read it just fine.
Domestic manufacturing production has been consistently growing for some time now, even adjusted for inflation.

Interesting graph. Too bad it does not say at all what is being monitored in it. Number of units? Value? What exactly is being measured here?
I even tried a google search to see if I could find the original graph with the index, but no dice.
And FYI, I have no idea what the "Manufacturing Production Index" is. I am familiar with the "Industrial Production Index", but this is not it. And the IPI is not manufacturing, it deals mostly with things like mining, lumber, oil, and petrochemicals. I did multiple searches for "Manufacturing Production Index", and interestingly came up blank.
So once again, without knowing what this chart even is, what it is tracking, and what the basis of comparison it means absolutely nothing.
