Facts From the Industrial
Commission Report.
INTERNAL TRADE And COMMERCE
Important Figures From the
Twelfth Census.
DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION
Increased Output of Mills and Fac
tories Due to the Extent American
Goods Have SupPIanted Foreign
Products In Our Markets.

According to the report submitted to
Congress by the Industrial Commission
the increase in the manufactures and
commerce Of the United States during the
past half century has been enormous. The
statistics of the occupations of the peo-
pie show distinctly the growing import
ance Of manufactures. trade, and trans
portatiOn as compared with agriculture
and even with mining.
Statistics of manufacturer
Through the courtesy of Mr. S. N d.
North and Mr.. W. NJ. Steuart, chief statis-
tician and chief of division for manufac-
lures in the Twelfth Census. the commits
sion is enabled to present the more i'm
portant figures for 1900 in advance of the
official publication by the Census Office
The figures are as follows:
Number of establishments, 512.5s5; CAPT
tai, 1855. $50. 1888; wage earners. average
number, 5,31O, ,59S; total wages. 81. .323, ,4G7.-

value of products. including cutom work
and repairing. s13,Ol9 .251 .614. and value
due to manufacture, s., ,669, ,335, ,5s4.
These figures do not include Hawaii or
other insular possessions, establishments
with a product less than $500, govern
mental establishments, or penal, eleemos-
ynary and educational Institutions which
were not reported at the Eleventh Census.
The number of manufacturing estab-
Ishments has increased very greatly In
ten years. 44.2 per cent. While in many
industries there Is tendency toward
Capitalization, which decreases the num-
Der of establishments, there are many

MRS. M'KINLBY WILL
RECEIVE A PENSION
No Objection to Measure
Likely in Congress.
NUMEROUS PRECEDENTS CITED
Frnnking Privilege Granted to
Martha Washington and other
Widows of Prcsidents-Mrs. Polk
Received First Annual Allowance

The proposition to grant an annual pen
sion to Mrs. Mckinley. the widow OF
Pres dent Mckinley, has a number
of precedents, and it is not probable that
there will be any objection made to the
bill which has been introduced to grant
her an allowance of $1,000 year from
the public treasury during her lifetime
The bill granting her the frarking priv
ilege has already passed both houses of
Congress. and she is now enabled to
transmit all her letters through the mail
without paying postage.
Frank for Martha Washington
This action also has a long established
precedent. Martha Washington was the
first woman 10 whom Congress extended
the franking privilege, and in those days
it cost great deal more to transmit
communications by pest than it does now,
and the facilities were great deal more
meagre. ~ the session of Congress fol-
lowing the death Of the first President the
franking privilege was granted to his
widow.
The next woman to be accorded this
Adams. the widow of John Quincy Adams,
sixth President OF the United States
President William Henry Harrison died
one month after he had been inaugurated
President, and Congress, in its sympathy
for the bereaved widow, voted her a
gift of $4,000. from which was deducted
however the amount due her husband as
salary during the brief term that he filled
the Executives chair. This made her al
lowance from Congress little more than
$4,000, which was done in lieu of a pen
sion
Dolly Madison was left a considerable
fortune by her husband. President James
Madison. and Congress was not asked TO
grant her a pension, although it did ex-
tend to her the right to send her letters
through the mail without postage
The First Pension.
The first woman to draw ar annual
pension from the Government as the
widow of former President was Mrs
Sarah Childress Polk, the widow of James
x. Polk. although he died several years
after he left the White House. She drew
s. Geo year from the Government up to
the time of her death.
No pension was granted to the widow
of Zachary Taylor. but she IVES granted
the franking privilege. Instead Il pension
was granted to President Taylor's daugh-
ter, Mrs. Bette Taylcr cambridge, the
widow of Col. William S. Bliss.
Julia Gardner Tyler. the widow of
President John Tyler, was granted pen
sion Of $1,000 year.
