in his report:
No attempt has been made to classify the
1883, beyond those given in connection
with the sections treating of the four
centers of the State-St. Louis, Kansas City
st. Joseph and Sprin@tield-but it is believed
that the proportions between the classes ex
hibited in the census report for 1880 have
been uniformly continued down to the pres
ent time, with, perhaps, two eNceptions-the
general manufacture of iron and of hemp,
jute and flax bag%ing. The former industry
has. since 1887, been rendered inactive
through ii depression of prices. and only
within the spring and summer of 1889 has
taken on something of its former activity.
The ntter manufacture has been restricted
in operations by the organization of specu-
latiVe trust.
The general enlargement of invested capt.
tai and consequent consumption of raw ma
terialS witnessed during the decade Just end
ing has been fully equal to the best progress
of any decade past. while tlS growing diver
sity of manufactures is not only an exponent
OF our improved civilization, but also Il
happy apgury of II most important and
powerful future for the state.
To day Missouri leads the entire country in
the Manufacture of chew my tobacco, while
she is second only to Minnesota in Touring
and grist- mill products, and third in point
of iron machinery produces: second in the
manufacture Of furs and hats and caps second
in malt products; third in the w cst in packing
home products; third in each of the manu-
features Of cars, carriages and wagons in
the " est: first in rank among the cites of
the Mississippi Valley in the manufacture

second in planning and saving Of lumber;
first in manufacture OF brick, tile ami yitr-
fed sewer pipe; first, west of PENNSYLVANIA,
in the drawing ana manufacture of wire,
second OF all the States i'll the manufacture
of plate and window glass, and third in the
Manufacture of fine furniture.
of the forty seven states and Territories
reported, Missouriran as follows: Eighth
in number of establishments, tenth in capt
tai invested, ninth in amount of salaries
paid, seventh in value Of materials and
eighth in value of production.
The history of Missouri shows that anterior
to 1S45 the State had scarcely made any ad-
vance in manufactures from pioneer
methods, hand made appliances, and a
limited range of products confined to the
most common and necessary domestic uses.
In the year named st. Louis contained about
all the regular manufacturing establish
ments of which the State could boast and
these, in the light of the present develop
lnentS, appear very poor and neager in
deed. The first fifty years of occupation in
this section OF the public domain was given
over TO a struggle with nature and the soil,
and the woods and waters were made to
supplement the 'clearings" in supporting
the sparse population These were the years
