KENTUCKY IDUSTRlES
TIE MANUFACTURE OF TOBACCO
is TAE MOST IMPORTANT.
Interesting Census Figures Show
ing the Growth Of this Indus
try in the Commonwealth.

The statistics Of manufacturing
industries in the State of Kentucky
for the census year 1900 show that
the manufacture of tobacco is the
most important industry in the
State. The 337 establishments re-
ported in 1900 with a total capital
OF ~, ,45l,725 gave employment to
6,S3S wage earners, or 1919 per cent
of the wage earners of the State.
and the products were valued at
S21, ,922, Ill, or AZ per cent. Of the
products of the State. In 1890
there were 26 establishments with
a total capital of $4,S90,S51 wage
earners TO the number of 5.43j and
products valued at $11,32l.375.
The increase in the value Of the
products during the decade was
$40, 600,73G, or 1916 per cent. In
1890 there were 3S establishments
in the State devoted to the manu-
faeture of smoking and chewing to-
bacco and snuff; in 1890 there were
70 establishment in Kentucky en-
gagged in the stemming and rehand-
ling of tobacco, The number of such
establishments has increased to 9S
in 1900.
Owing to the facilities for com
munication with the largest tobac
co growing section of the country,
Louisville has been for many years
a leading leaf tobacco market Of
the world, and Its greater facilities
as distributing point have given
it an added advantage over other
localities in the State equally well
supplied with the leaf.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-03-11

would not turn religion into deris.
ion, nor for any consideration turn
their swords against their own
country.
Let us never lose that spark of
patriotic love, which leads us to
know if we should unite our Amer
ican liberties with foreign Aggran
dizement, we would be violating
the principles Of the great Leader.
The father of this country advised
in his farewell message, to observe
good faith and justice with all ma
tions, keep peace and harmony
with them, but to avoid entangling
alliance especially with European
powers, and by Intervening our
destiny with any part of Europe
entangle our force and prosperity
and the rivalship would lead us to
destruction. So great an annexa-
tion and such a distance from our
government would gradually and
eventually grow beyond our power
to control. The power required
TO command peace and good order
at home would subject all our
rights and privileges to the power
of that nation. We would find
ourselves in need of more numer-
Gus supports for our government
and the burdens inflicted upon us
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-03-11

would surpass our capacity to
withstand. Yet we may hear
it said " Join our affairs with
foreign nations and we can all
move more smoothly, and have no
cause for disturbances and never
wear the chain of an enemy.
BY this we would have no meth
od of putting our laws into execu-
tion, removing the unsought op-
presssioLs, preserving our own
government in any peace and Sc
curity If our great nation retains
that fire Of patriotism they will
never submit to such burdens. 1t
would be an injustice to the
great pillars of our govern
ment, stamp us with cowardice
and allow the salvation of gov
ernment to fall into the hands
of a despotism, Then caIamities
will have lentered our doors, the
chain of oppression placed upon us
and we will have to give up our
glorious example, which the great
est and best men of our nation re-
joiced to look upon. We will be
pressed by debts and taxes, drag
ged by an increase of revenues to
ease their own burdens. 1t will
have tainted every American heart,
destroyed our walls of liberty and
formed of us a nation of disconted
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-03-11
vassals.

vassals.
Yet to withstand this avaricious
greed we have to but allow the
shores to embrace our powers, and
be the dead line of our intruders.
We have formally and carefully
chosen a government for ourselves,
by open and influenced desire or
ganized ourselves into great
body where honors are not confer
red by birth or wealth. nor res
cue from criminality, but he who
is most able to secure public hap
piness shall be the servant of the
people.
Such distinction is drawn by the
rulers of our government. 'Leave
the bird of night to the obscurity
intended for him. And only ex-
pect the eagle with his wings tip
ped with the stars and stripes, to
drive away the clouds and gaze
boldly upon the Sun
Now we stand where we behold
great view of the past, where
smoke once shadowed our fame
and darkness spread over the land,
but the great foresight of man,
observed the revelation of our flu
ture as rainbow on the edge Of a
summers cloud, showing on its
mantled brow the great future
awaiting us.
Thus our nation was saved, our
peace secured, there was no mis-
take in their efforts. We are but
one great body of people, our union
is now complete A love for the
perpetual union is mingling with
us in all the pleasures of life, and
permeated the innermost recesses
of our lives. Through it we see
not the brim of an old shadow, but
the stature of our country's honor,
which every one may make his own,
and cherish it in the name of him
in whose sacred memory this day
has been set apart. And may it
ever be honored with the same er-
nest spirit. He who did more than
all others to make the union. in
bidding his countrymen farewell,
coniured them to cherish CON
stant, cordial and immovable at
tachment to it, TO think and speak
of it as a palladium of our safety
and prosperity and Indignantly
frown upon any attempt to en-
feeble the sacred ties which now
bind us together. AS citizens we
honor him for the gift of our union,
with recollections of thankfulness
and gratitude equally fervent. At
this day it can not but strike us as
extraordinary that we are walking
under the shadow of monument
which bears his name. the Dec
laration of Independence, the dis
solution of the ties of allegiance,
the assumption of sovereign power
and the institution of Civil Gov
ernment. But still there remains a
crowning document, advice to his
people, the essence of his own mind
and heart, influenced by the will
of God, for the management of
affairs of our union at home and
abroad. With all this, we should not
make mistake to ignore its truth,
all danger is ahead. We have been
wisely admonished to look upon our
union for safety and prosperity,
discountenancing every act that
