GAGE TALKS OF PROGRESS In n Speech on "The Oultmtl." 'IV 1 1 of Four lour, of lui iro c incut. lie CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Secretary of tho Treasury Lyman J. (luge was the guest ot honor nt a dinner given this evening at tho Auditorium by the National Association of Merchants and Travelers. Moro than 300 members of the orgnnltittlott nnd Invited KUPstB wero present. There was no formal program of toasto nnd the address of Secre tary Gage on "H10 Outlook" uih the only formal speech of the evening, lfayctte Mc Wllllatns of Chicago, general chairman of tho organization. hovoer. called upon a few of tho members for short talks. During the course of his address Secre tary Gngo said: "In general, the whole lino of Industries It inarching out ot the old coatury nnd Into tho threshold of tho now with steady nnd determined tread. Railway statistics show that tho total freight carried one mile In 1S9S exceeded by 23,99S,40X,300 tons tho total freight carried 0110 mllo In ISM. These figures nro Incon ceivable. Tweiity-llvo billion tons ono mllo mentis 25.000,000 tons 1,000 miles, or G0.O0O. 000 tons 500 miles, or 100.000,000 tuna 20 miles. Even thcuo llgurcj are too large for us to comprehend tho magnitude ot tho growth of commerce from 1895 to 189S, but comparing them with tho preceding five- enr period, 1S90 to 189.". wc find that tho latter year showed nn Increase of only 0,371,- 7S5.667 tonn over 1890. nnd thus wo know that the 25.000,000,000 Increase from 1895 to 1S98 represents an almost fnbulous develop ment. "Tho comparisons shown suggest Innu merable remunerative activities, for tho In conceivable) quantities of freight carried represent In large degree tho product and tho effort of some 23,000,000 of peoplo en gaged In all gainful occupations, of whom Homo 17,000,000 nro wage earners. In manufactures, tho production of iron nnd steel has, within tho lust few years, mado nn astonishing record. Comparing con ditions at tho beginning, middle nnd close ot tho prcoent decade, wo And that the produc tion of pig Iron was, lu 1890, 9,202,703 tons: In 1893, P.IIG.30S tons, while In 1899 tho production Is estimated to have reaehod 11,000.000 tons, thus showing nn Increase of only 2I3.G05 tons from 1890 to 1895, while tho Incrcaso from 1895 to 1899 was 1,500,000 tons, or moro than eighteen tliuen greater during tho last four years than was tho Increase during tho llrst five years of this decade. "It Is proper to noto also that there has been a marked Increase In thu amount nt money lu circulation In that period, 1895 to 1S99. Tho total Increase In tho circulating medium is $302.103,40S, of which moro than $200,000,000 Is In gold. Tho year 1895 showed an Increase over 1890 of only $172,717,203. Tho per capita circulation In 1890 was $2.07 greater than In 1S95, uh against an Incrcaso of only It cenlu per capita from 1890 to 189.. "In nil that has been nbown It will ho seen that our Industrial development has far outstripped our increnso In population, which menus that wo havo attacked our natural resources fiercely, and may nnturally lend us to the Inquiry an to what wilt bo tho results of Increasing population and a decreasing nupply of materials upon which to woik. "I have been nt somo palus to secure what m.iy bo regarded ns fairly accttrato cstlmntcH of tho growth of our -wpulntlon during tho next century, for not long ngo when 1 had the pleasure of speaking In Chi cago, I quoted nu Englishman, who pre dicted that by 1950 tho United Stntm would bcTa nation of 250,000,000 people. That thli mntn Is probably too IiIrIi. Dr. Henry S. Prltchctt, now superintendent of the United States coast nnd geodetic survey, has dem onstrated mathematically tho law ot growth of population In tho United States, Ills fig ures, under tho operation of mich law, havo been found to bo nearly nccurnto with rcfer enco (o tho population In tho census years ot the past, mid, according to tho ttnmo law, the imputation of the United SUten In 1950 will bo 190,000,000, whllo nt tho end of tho century, In tho year 2000, tho population will bo 385,000,000." DEPARTMENT' STORES WIN OUT Supreme Court of Missouri Knock Out the l.nw Alined nt Tin m. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. Feb. 20. The su premo court en banc today, In an opinion by Judge Robinson declared tho department Dime law panned ny tho last legislature un constitutional nnd void. Tho reasons given nre that It Is clearly class legislation, that tho act Is Incomplete nnd Is not a law anil doe not const Ituto a rule of conduct, and that tho net Imposes nn occupation tax n? n license to do business. Tho law applied only to St. Joseph, Kansas City and St. LouIh and to stores In thoso titles employing moro than n certain number ot clerks. This feature lu objected to in tho opinion as class legislation. Tho enso decided was that of tho State ex rel Wyatt against Ashhrook nnd other olllccrs of tho city ot St. Joseph for a writ of mandamus to compel them to Issuo a license to conduct a department store In that city without paying tho license tnx required by the law. Tho court In Its opinion today oidcr the writ nwnrded. WESTERN UNION BUYS LINES IlleUey Goes lo Snll LllUe to Com plete 1'iiieliiixe of l)enerel S nloiii. CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Colonel It. C.
