Again, our manufacturers largely own the real estate which they oc- cupy. Among the great producers, those who are manufacturing under the roofs of other people are limited in number. These conditions se- cure a stability which is not attainable under other circumstances, an endurance during periods of financial distress which is peculiar, and an ability to accommodate production to reduced wants, without impair- ing, in any way, the capacity of the manufacturer for promptly and ad- vantageously providing for increased demand, when such demand may be warranted by the improved condition of the country. .

We generally associate with the idea of manufactures, colossal es- tablishments, and in some districts the productive industry manifests itself before the world through such great agencies only. But these giants among producers are not all that exist. Manufactures, in their most comprehensive sense, embrace everything in which material and labor, more or less skilled, are combined for the production of some- thing to meet the wants of men. The business may be conducted on a very small scale. It may be done by a single man, and yet such man is a manufacturer. In this city the business is distributed to an unusual degree. It is not conducted by a few great firms or companies, that hold in the realni of production imperial sway, and whose failure would carry with them wide-spread disaster. To the contrary, it con- sists of a large number of establishments, many of them by no means large, not a few really small, that make up, in their united industries, the mighty aggregate which has given this city such a prominent posi- tion among the manufacturing districts of this country. The whole number of establishments in this city and immediate vicinity in the year ending January 1, 1877, was five thousand and three. In the city of Philadelphia, in 1870, the whole number of establishments was eight thousand two hundred and sixty-two; but these produced an aggregate value of three hundred and thirty-eight million one hundred and sixty- eight thousand four hundred and forty-six dollars, in comparison with one hundred and forty million five hundred and eighty-three thousand nine hundred and sixty dollars produced by the whole number in Cin- cinnati.

We all recognize the fact that a diversity of production secures a more sure and steady prosperity. Here again is found an element of strength at Cincinnati. Our manufactures extend to a great variety of articles, many of them entirely distinct from each other. They embrace productions from wood, metal, stone, animals, earth, paper, leather, grain, vegetable fibre, tobacco, drugs, and other articles differing widely

HISTORY OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

in their nature and in the wants and localities they are called upon to supply. The number of different kinds of goods made here is beyond the estimate of many of the best informed. If anything of a surprising nature were revealed by our industrial displays, it was the scope of our production. The statistician finds it difficult to pursue the vocations. Men are working in their own houses. They are in obscure places. They are doing their business in a small way, but are swelling produc- tion. The kinds of manufactures are steadily increasing in number. You will hear of producers in unlooked-for localities, commeucing the manufacture of new articles, doing it in an unpretending manner, but laying the foundation of great future usefulness to the city.

The classes of goods manufactured here, without descending to the subdivisions of the distinct classes, number one hundred and eighty- two. Embraced in each, in numerous instances, are many products which might with propriety have separate mention. Thus, in iron, though our manufactures extend to a great variety of articles, the classes number but thirty. Candles, soaps, and oils are embraced under one head. Many kinds of machinery are in one class, and so on through the list. In this department, the largest item is machinery, embracing stationary and portable engines, wood working machinery, sugar mills, steam fire engines, steam gauges, and an almost infinite variety of articles of a like nature. In wood working machinery, in- cluding machines for planing, moulding, mortising, sawing, boring, and working generally in wood, Cincinnati has no superior, if she has a peer. She has [1878] three establishments producing annually of these goods alone, about five hundred thousand dollars. Over two hundred different kinds of machines are manufactured, which find a market not only in this country generally, but, with two or three minor exceptions, in every nation in Europe, in Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, South America and the West India Islands, and for their qualities have received distinguished recognition wherever exhibited or known.

In endeavoring to reach some idea of the relation which our manu- factures sustain to the future progress of the city, it may be well to consider briefly what has been accomplished in the past. In the year 1840, the total product of our manufactures was sixteen million three hundred and sixty-six thousand four hundred and forty-three dollars; that is, only thirty-seven years ago, our total product of all kinds was less than was either the single department of iron, wood, food or liquors in 1876. Our total product for the year ending January 1, 1877, it will be remembered, was one hundred and forty million five hundred and eighty-three thousand nine hundred and sixty dollars having increased in that period seven hundred and fifty-eight per cent. The growth mainly having been steady, it is difficult to realize how amazingly we have pro- gressed. This has all been accomplished within the recollection of many in this audience. Now, if the same ratio of increase should be exhibited in the coming thirty-seven years, the result would be still more astonishing, for it would in the year 1915 reach one billion two hundred and six million two hundred and ten thousand five hundred and eighty- six dollars, or an amount equal to more than one-fourth of the entire manufactured product of the United States in the year 1870. Now, the average product to the operative in 1876 was two thousand three hundred and fifteen dollars. If in 1915 the relation should remain the same, it would render necessary for the production five hundred and twenty-one thousand and forty-one hands, making, in operatives alone, a number larger than the present entire population of Cincinnati, Cov_ ington and Newport, with their suburbs. The increase from 1840 to 1850 was, in the aggregate product, one hundred and eighty-two per cent. From 1850 to 1860, there was, according to the Federal census, less than two per cent. From 1860 to 1870, it was one hundred and fifty-three per cent. What the increase has been from 1870 to tlie pres- ent time is the more difficult to ascertain, on account of the great de- cline which has taken place in values. What that decline actually has been is not easily reached. From an extensive inquiry, I think thirty- three per cent. a low estimate. This would make for the year 1876, the production equivalent to two hundred and ten million eight hundred and seventy-five thousand nine hundred and forty dollars, showing an increase, even in times of great depression and commercial distress, of sixty-five per cent. in a period of six years. But goods in 1870, com- parcd with 1860 as well as 1876, were above their relative value, so that it would probably be more fair to compare the year 1860 with 1876. This would show an increase of one hundred and ninety-nine per cent. It must be remembered, too, that notwithstanding a part of this period embraces the war, with its abnormal activity in many departments, it also comprises a period in which the industries of the country have been prostrated, and in which the inducements to manufacture have been well nigh alone found in a purpose only to maintain business and to save manufacturing property from decay and ultimate ruin. Admit-

ting than our manufactures in 1880 will be no greater than now, it would show that on the average our production about triples itself every twenty years.

DIVISION OF LABOR.

More expressive and impressive than figures to the av- erage mind, as illustrating the immense development and wonderful subdivision of industries in the great city, is the classification and list of employments pursued by its citizens, as exhibited in any recent directory. The face of one of the "business men" of Losantiville, if it could be recalled to earth and confronted with the voluminous pages that record the vast diversity of vocations in these late days, in the metropolis whose humble industrial be- ginnings he witnessed, would be a study indeed. The fol. lowing are the headings in the business directory of 1880. Some of them are exceedingly curious in themselves, and all have value, as representing the present business stat- us of Cincinnati. Each of the heads and sub-heads, of course, of course indicates one or more persons-in some cases very many-engaged in the business indicated by it :
