The fact that Baltimore is be-
coming a great manufacturing
centre is not fully appreciated
by her own people. Many new
industries have sprung into ex-
istence, and some of the older
concerns have increased their
forces four-fold.
To give a faint idea in detail,
it may be said that the amount
of manufactured tobacco in this
district has increased from
three millions to fifteen million
pounds, placing this city in the
first rank as a producer in this
line.
The manufacturers of clothing
produced in 1880, nine million
dollars; in 1890, fourteen mil
lions. Shirts, underwear and
overalls, from one million dol
lars in 1880, produced over four
millions in 1890. Straw goods,
hats, etc., from three hundred
and sixty-two thousand in 1880,
advanced to two and a half mil
lions in 1890. Iron, steel, brass
and machinery were produced
in 1890 to the value of sixteen
million dollars. Tin, copper
and sheet iron ware, from three
and half million dollars in
1850, reached seven millions in
1890.
FINANCIAL.
Baltimore is amply supplied
with banking capital. No city
is more solid in this respect, and
nowhere have banks and
bankers a better reputation for
integrity and fidelity. The
gentlemen in control of these
institutions are among the city's
most honored and respected
citizens.

nation of the Chesapeake Bay

three lines were compelled to
pass; but the construction of
the Shenandoah and Cumber-
land Valley Railroads, which
avoid us by swinging around,
eighty miles distant to the west
and north, and the New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk Line,
which passes sixty miles to the
east and south, have introduced
radical changes in the usual
movements of Southern bust
ness.

ket as the Indifference of it's
transportation lines to its gem
eral interests, permitting dis
examinations in freight and pas

transportation, causing delay
and loss of goods.
The extension of the Valley
Branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad through North
and South Carolina, Georgia
and other States, which has
been ably and persistently adj
vocated, would tend to regulate
freight rates, and would make
Baltimore, for long years to
come, the first distributive mar
ket Of the South.
1t is in contemplation to take
steps during the coming year
which it is confidently hoped,
will meet public approval, and
will contribute no little to the
successful consummation of this
enterprise so much desired, and
indeed essential to the contin-
ued prosperity of the city.
There is now not only a convic-
ton that such line is neces-
sary, but a determination to
have such a line with its ter
minus in Baltimore; and when
this shall be accomplished, it is
hard to over-estimate its impor-
lance to the business of the city.

BALTIMORE PRESENT RAILROAD
SYSTEM.
While widening of the rail
road ramifications of Baltimore
is being agitated, it must not be
thought, that the Monumental
City is in point of fact, behind
the age in this regard. Her
great railways, the Baltimore
& Ohio, which was the first
railroad ever built in the coun-
try, the Northern Central, the
Western Maryland, the Balti-
more & Potomac aud the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington & Balti-
more, give her a system of com
munication by rail, not less
than her facilities by
water. To the B. & O. road,
this city is in the greatest de-
gree indebted, for its power to
compete for the Western and
Southern trade, with any of the
cities on the Atlantic Coast, and
for growing influence, in the
great region west of the Ohio

than New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, Wilmington, Del, Gin

quite as we'll as Pittsburg, St.
Louis and Chicago. Our rail-
roads reach all parts of the
country, East, North, West and
South, and splendid steamship
lines run to many pars on the
Atlantic coast. We are f1ve
hundred miles nearer than Bos-
ton and two hundred miles
nearer than New York to the
great cotton belts of the South;
and are nearer by several hum
dred miles to the grain growing
section and thriving cities of
the West, than any other port
on the Atlantic coast.
CHEAP RAW MATERIAL.
"The cheapness, abundance
and excellence of the materials
we have access to. is of itself an
undeniable advantage. which is
not possessed in a like degree
by many other cities in the
United States. Iron and lime
stone abound in every direction
around the city: our brick clay:
fire brick clay, kaolin and pot
ters' clay are unrivalled any
where; our black oak book
leather is the best in the market.
while our sand is the finest in
the country for manufacturing
glass. Our dealers annually
ship immense quantities of
leather to Eastern cities to be
returned to us manufactured,
owing to lack of manufac-
turers in Baltimore. Our hard
woods are unequalled; our COP
per stuff is in unusual demand;
our State produces the best
wheat for flour for tropical
countries known anywhere lex
cept that grown in the valley
of Virginia.. and our white flint
is the best hominy corn in the
world; it is also the entre-port |
to a great tobacco region, and
our port is the natural outlet
for Louisville and Cincinnati to-
bacco. Baltimore is nearer the
centres of petroleum production
than Philadelphia, whilei in lum-
Der we are the meeting point of
the Susquehanna hemlock, Car
DINA yellow pine and cypress.
the West Virginia poplar and
hickory, and the West Indian
and Central American hard
wood and veneering materials.
We have slate, chronic iron ore,
granite, emery. steatite, flake
mica and marble in our imme-
date vicinity. The Chesapeake
and it's shores are the original
beginning place of the canning
business in oysters, vegetables
and fruit.

the legislative and natural adj

POPULATION.
The first and most tangible
evidence of Baltimore's growth
has been the increase in popu-
lation.
The census of 1880 gave Bal
timore a total population of $780,
313, while the federal census
bureau of 1890 shows 433, SAY re-
siding within the corporate linn
its of the municipality. Should
Canton be added, with it's 15,-
900 inhabitants, properly be-
longing to and a part of the
city, an aggregate of 44S, 900
would be reached, which figure
is generally believed to fall be-
low the actual number.
This increase of population is
of course, due in part to the
annexation of a wealthy and
popul"us suburb which had for
years been part of the city,
though lying without its legal
boundaries; but is is also in a
large measure due to the immi-
grafton determined by a recog-
milton of Baltimore's great, and
in some respects, unequaled adj
vantages.
RELATIVE POSITION
Occupying as she does, a mid
die position, Baltimore shares
most of the advantages of her
sister cities to the North and
the South while exempt from
some of their heaviest draw
backs; her harbor, as a rule, is
open all the year, while she is
free from those visitations
which sometimes beset her
Southern neighbors. And not
only her climate, but her loca-
ton has marked Baltimore out
as great commercial port, stand
ing at the head of one of the
most magnificent bays in the
world, whose fertile and popu-
lous shores are tributary to her
markets, with a landlocked har-
Dor where the fleets of the
world may ride safely at an
anchor, and a waterfront of |
almost unlimited extent. At |
her wharves and piers may be
seen the flags of all nations; her
ocean steamships go and come
from all the leading foreign
and domestic ports. Two of the
leading trans-continental trunk
lines have here their Eastern
terminus, in themselves embrace
ing 5000 miles of road; and
over their tracks pass freight
cars belonging to every other
rail line in North America, thus
Baltimore into close
connection with every part of
the United States and the Can
adas.
TRANSFORMATION.
These railroads have been for
many years the most important
factors in furnishing transpor-
tation and terminal facilities
the latter approximating in
value ten millions of dollars.
Originally, single-track roads

has increased so enormously
that the progress made by them
has been on a par with her

The city of Baltimore owns a
large portion of the stock, which
after paying interest on the
debt incurred by the city, to aid
in building the road, annually
pays a large net sum into the
city treasury. The manage
ment of the road deserves and
receives the highest praise.
The course of the road is
through greatly diversified, and
beautiful scenery,no over hills
and under mountains and CROSS
ing rivers, on its way to unite
tn. waters of the Chesapeake,
with those of the Ohio River
In the Ohio Valley, it affords a
means of transportation for mil
lions of tons of coal annually, as
we'll as for agricultural pro-
ducts.
By it's means, a vast region
finds a way for it's live stock to
the sea. It's Chicago branch af-
fords an outlet for the grain
and lumber of the great North
west and the lake district, is
connected with the shortest
route to the seaboard. In the
South, its lines penetrate Vir-
ginia and connect with railway
systems reaching to all the
Southern states, thus opening
up a means of exchange of
home products, to both the
North and South. Gathering
up its enormous and varied
freight from the West, North
west and South, it seeks tran
shipping facilities at its Balti-
more terminus, where are the
Underwater freight and shipping
depots, elevators, ocean steam
er docks, emigrant arcommoda-
tons and warehouses at Locust
Point and transfer and storage
accommodations at Mount
Glare and Camden.
The extension of this line to
New York city, was one of the
most important feats of rail
road construction in this sec
ton for years. The "B. & O.
building of which a cut appears
in this edition, has long been the
most prominent building in the
city. In it are located the gen.
eral offices, and city ticket and
freight offices.
The Northern Central with
it's branches and connections,
has male Baltimore a distri-
butter of the products of that
section between the Chesapeake
Bay and Lakes Erie and Onta-
rio, and been a means of trans
fer for hePennsylvania anthra-
cite region and western and
northwestern agricultural and
mineral productions.
The Western Maryland Rail-
way traverses the western part
of the state, but tends to the
northwest and reaches the bor-
ders of Pennsylvania.
The Baltimore & Potomac
Railway, especially benefits
Baltimore by giving additional
facility in communicating with
Washington, and in providing
means of closer connection with
the south and southeast.
The Philadelphia, Whining
ton & Baltimore Railway, was
to travel in 1887. twas
the first railroad operated be-
tween Baltimore and eastern
and northern points. Its con-
nections are very extensive
and afford direct communica-
ton with all parts of the east
ern and northern states.

MANUFACTURES.

Much has already been said
about the great advantages of
Baltimore as a manufacturing
city. 1t remains but to indi-
cate briefly by a few examples,
what these advantages have
already produced.
The total amount of capital
in the 1858 various manufac-
turing establishments that ex-
listed in 1880, was S3S, $50, 900,
with a product of s7S, 900,
while we have it from I'M
doubted authority that the es-
Establishments of 1890, numbered
$500, with a capital of S60,000,-
900, and yielded a product valued
at S125, 100000.
To indicate with greater ac-
curacy the advance, there
should be added to the above es-
Inmates, the manufacturing in
dustries of Canton, aggregating
probably SO, 100000, also those

A Right Land Law.

Now, what is done with the lands when the National Irriga- tion Act is in operation? First, they are absolutely withdrawn from entry while the feasibility of the project is under consider ation. Next, the Secretary ot the Interlor is empowered to fix the amount of land which sin. gle individual may acquire, but is forbidden to fix a larger unit than 160 acres, or a smaller unit than 10 acres in any instance.
 Finally, the settler is compell- ed to live upon and cultivate the land which he claims for his home, and he must live there, not for five years, but ten years, whicn is the period fixed for the repayment of the governments expenditure.
 In other words, every claim made by the advocates of the re- peal of existing land laws is ab- sOlutely conceded in the terms of the National Irrigation Act. So far as the areas to be covered by the new policy are concerned, the Desert Land Law and the communication clause of the Home stead Law stand repealed, and the nation has thereby declared its uncompromiSing attitude on the issue debated at Ogden.

York market. She sends, in stead. oranges, lemons, raisins, prunes, fruits and wines.
 The market which California finds for these products in New York state is a complete gain to the New York farmers. The products of irrigation are pur- chased by the wealthier class and the money goes back to Cal ifornla, whence it immediately comes to New York again to be expended for such staple articles as farming implements, cotton and Woolen fabrics, and all the manufactured goods which are made in eastern factories.
 These factories furnish a mar ket for the products of the New York farmer. One part is the complement of the other, and the prosperity of one section will not retard but will help all the others.
 The essence of the industrial life fostered by irrigation is that of democracy. Under such a condition of agriculture the small farm alone is G paying invest ment, and the owner has indus trial freedom and social equality with his neighbor. Thus, when the work of reclamation shall be completed, the government of the United States will stand be- fore the world as it has always stood-as the mother of a social ly equal people-each man dis tinct and separate unit, strong in his love for the land and grate- ful to the nation which as given him the opportunity to develop his latent powers to the utmost. This is the strength of our na- tional life, and only through such development is our destiny to be fulfilled. Youths Compan- ion.
