Philippines becoming thereby the Capital
of a great world power Republic.
1t is, therefore, today the Capital of
nation containing 3,Si6,595 square miles,
or over four times its area in 1890.
In 1900 Washington was the Capital of a
nation with but 5.3oS, 4S3 people. Today it
rules over 76,30i.799 people exclusive of
the S,OGO,o00 or 10000 900 in the Philip
pines.
In 1890, it was the capital Of Repub-
lie. whose annual expenses were. but SlO.-
s13,191. Today the annual expenses of
the Government are nearly $500, 100000.
In 1900 it was the capital of a country
producing from its mines in gold, and sill
yer. but $500, 900. Today the annual pro-
duct is over 100000, 600.
In 1900 it was the capital Of a small
commercial nation exporting but s7o,971,
$50 of merchandise. Today it is the
capital of great commercial power with
annual exports amounting to 1894, 1885,
600 in value.
In 1900 it was the capital of a nation
with but few manufactures. In 1900 it is
the capital Of the greatest industrial ma
ton in the world, nation whose manu-
lures were at the time of the census
of 1890, over $685., o00, coo in value, and
which, when the present census is COM
plete will make a far grander showing.
In 1860 it was the capital OF a nation
comparatively poor. IN 1890 the nations
wealth, in real and personal property,
was s65. 037, 091, 1877, or over 81, 600 for every
man, woman, and child. Today the wealth
is still greater, as the census will soon
show.
In brief it is the Capital City Of a Re-
public, which in agricultural, and miner
al products, in manufactures, railways,
wealth, and power, is the first and fore
most among the great nations Of the
world.
Last, but not least, it is the Capital
City of nation of unprecedented pros
perity-a prosperity which, there is every
reason to believe, will last for many
years to come-and in which Washington
will fully participate.

Nineteenth Century Expansion.
A nation and its capital city necessarily
keep in close touch with each other. The
city develops and progresses with the ma
ton. As the United States expands in
area the jurisdiction of Washington ex-
pands. AS it increases in population and
wealth. so does Washington. When it en-
tiers upon its international era and be-
comes a world power, so does Washing
ton When it enjoys an era of prosperity,
as it does today. SO does Washington.
The marvellous progress of the great
Republic during the nineteenth century is
reflected in Washington. hence to get
clear and intelligent idea of the status of
the city 1t is well to glance over the rec
ord Of the nation.
In 1900 the nation had a total area Of
s27,S44 square miles, and over which

Dress Silks

And what's the good of the
prettiest silk or the most stylish
