What Manufacturing Does for
a Oity.


The annual report of the Board of
Trade of Cincinnati, which is about
to be issued, and has been compiled
with unusual care, will show that
there has been an increase Of thirteen
per cent in manufactures during the
year. The total values of the articles
manufactured was $204, ,079, ,687, or an
increase over the previous year of
$24,728, 100. Upwards of five and a
quarter million dollars was added to
the cash capital invested in manufac.
turing enterprises, and employment
was given to 1854 more men than the
preceding year. The lines of manu-
facture in which the largest increase
of business is reported are carriages,
boots and shoes, and tobacco.
In proportion to its previous vol
ume, no industry, says the report. has
shown SO great an increase as that Of
the manufacture Of carriages, buggies,
etc. Its extraordinary growth has
attracted attention to a greater extent
at distant points than here at home,
and it has given Cincinnati practical
control of the trade throughout the
greater part of the country. The mar
ket for the low priced buggies made in
Cincinnati extends to all parts Of the
country, and 70 all Of the Brit
ish North American possessions,
while buggy bodies and other
parts have been shipped to consider
able extent beyond both of the great
oceans. During the same period Gin
cinnati had become the principal
leather market in the West, and the
second in the country. franks second
in the manufacture Of boots and shoes,
and first in the production of harness.
1t possesses the hest facilities of any
city in the country for the production
Of leather and leather goods. As
tobacco market the city has, during
the same period, grown from the rank
of second to that of first in the coun
try. The manufacture of clothing
ranks third among the important in
dustries, and fourth in point of ofgrOwth
during the year. 1t is a significant
fact that such large gains should have
been made during a year specially dis
tinguished for strikes and for disas
trous fires. Business was seriously
checked and invested capital lost, and
still there were large gains. The iron
strike of last summer resulted in a
loss of One-third of the years bust
ness. A noticeable feature in some
lines Of manufacture is the fact that
while the product has been largely in
creased, the number Of establishments
have decreased, showing that the big
concerns are absorbing the little ones.

Crop Report.

CHICAGO, May 26.-A local COM
mission firm has condensed report of
the crops in the Northwest, received
from twenty correspondents. The
points are as follows: Texas, fully 30
per cent more of wheat acreage than
last year; none killed, no bugs; har-
vest progressing; large yield expected.
Corn and oats, so per cent lareer
acreage than in 1881; looks we'll.
Kentucky, 25 per cent more of wheat
planted than in 1881; none killed; no
bugs; little frost did some damage.
Missouri, about the same acreage as
last year; great quantity of chinch
bugs in some localities, but no ma
terial damage; prospects very fine.
Corn all planted, with from Is to 30
per cent greater acreage than last year;
no old corn on hand. Oats, same
acreage only an ordinary yield. Mary
land has slight increase in winter
wheat, and the acreage of the crop
looks promising. Some little of the
winter wheat was killed by the bugs;
none of the old wheat on hand. The
corn acreage is unchanged; oats are
Fifteen per cent less and looks poorly.
The Ohio wheat acreage is the same,
or trife larger; ten per cent of the
winter wheat is killed; no bugs; looks
we'll, except where flooded. The acre
age Of corn and oats unchanged; little
old grain on hand. The acreage in
Indiana is somewhat increased; little
winter wheat killed; few bugs; plant
looks well; little wheat on hand. Corn
is about all planted; acreage unchang.
ed; none left. The acreage of Michi-
gan increased ten per cent;n killed;
no bugs; 10 per cent of old wheat on
hand corn, same acreage as 81; none
for shipment; oats look well. Hi.
nois winter wheat, same acreage or
little larger; bugs appeared but harm.
less; the army worm has only stript
the leaves; the stand looks well and

Corn is mostly planted except in the

The Lite Lovely LegisIature.

The Brownsville Democrat, few
days before the Legislature adjourned,
touched it off in the following lively
manner:
The Tennessee Legislature is a dis
grace to the State. 1t has been so
from the outset. 1t had better adjourn
and dissolve. No law passed by that
body will ever receive the respect of
the people, and certainly nosettlement
of the State debt by them, will be in
any degree satisfactory to them.
The people of Tennessee do not
want, and will not have any settlement
of the State debt through the hands
of Roderick Random Butler, and
Alvin Hawkins. They have no con-
fdence in their honesty, and do not
desire them to take upon themselves
this self.imposed duty. And the pres
ent Legislature has so besmirched and
disgraoed itself in the eyes of the
people, that any act Of settlement
passed by it would never receive a
decent tolerance or support at their
hands.
Whenever a newspaper has sold out
to the Radicals, and wishes to make
itself useful to its purchasers, it be-
gins slang whang about ''living issues"
and to talk about fossilism and Bour-
bonisn, and the "rattling of dry
bones" All Of this preposterous stuff
is aimed at those patriotic Democrats

SOME DIsGRACEFUL FACTS.
How Important Bills are SUPP
pressed and Defeated.
Knoxville Chronicle, Is.

Knoxville Chronicle, Is.
Some things occurred during the
closing hours of the extra session of
the Legislature not calculated to in
spire confidence in the minds of the
people of the State. In his calls for
the two extra sessions just held, the
Governor each time called attention to
the Importance OF making secure the
funds in the State treasury. Ex-
isting statutes require that the Treas
urer shall give bond in the sum of
one hundred thousand dollars,
but it appears that that officer
has given no bond at all. The amount
of funds in his hands now is more
then half a million dollars, and bill
was introduced and passed in the
House, requiring bond of
two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. The bill went
to the Senate and had passed two
readings. Before it feached its third
reading, it appears that it was stolen
from the desk Of the clerk of the SEN
ate, by some one who picked the lock,
and when the time came to act upon
it, it could not be found. A certified
copy was procured from the House,
but too late to pass and have it signed
by the Governor. So the bill failed.
The Treasurer will give bond under
the old statute. 1t appears that some
one, between Saturday night aud Mon
day morning last, also attempted to
open the desk of the clerk of the
House of Representatives, presumably
for the purpose of abstractiDg impor-
tant papers-believed to be the bill
for reducing taxes for general pur-
poses.
Such occurrences are calculated to
arouse grave suspicion of corruption
somewhere. What could have been
the motive of the man who felon-
iously broke open the desk of the
Clerk of the Senate and distracted
the bill requiring the Treasurer to
increase his bond? Fortunately the
State Treasurer is a man of high
character, against whom no charge
of corruption has ever been made,
and who enjoys the confidence of the
people Of all parties. No one be-
lieves that he would countenance such
a thing. AS yet the corrupt act of
stealing important papers remains a
mystery-perhsps will so remain. But
the taxpayers Of the State are natur
ally restive in view Of such facts as
those above alleged, and they want
to know more about them.
The Governor will not be to blame
if it should turn out that these funds
have not been properly secured. He
has twice called the attention of the
Legislature to the facts. We do not
say that the funds are not entirely
safe. We have confidence in Treas
urer Polk, and believe that he will
faithfully perform the high trust con-
fded in him by the people Of the
State. The ugly fact, however, re-
mains that important papers were ab
stracted, and an attempt was made to
abstract others. The next Legisla
ture may find it necessary to investi-
gate some things.
