fROGREssIVE POPULATION.---Ih he ter
rtory Of the United States is ueurly as
large as that Of all Europe; its population,
including the Abolig;nes and immigrants,
may exceed $4,000 900, which is not a
tenth part Of that Of Europe. In Au.
gust, 1890, the United States contained
nearly four millions of people, inclusive
Of about 100000 slaves. In 1900 there
were 5,305,025 inhabitants; 7,239,S ,Sl4 in
1910; 1864 ,596 in 1920; 1856 O2O in
1880; and l7063,355 in June, 1910, Of
whom 4,lS0,705 were whites. Since
the era of 1912 the area Of tho Union
has more than doubled, During 25 years,
to 1913, ,5SS,S7 persons have migra.
ted from Great Britain and Ireland to
North America, chiefly to the United
States. In The year l84S there arrived
ut the port Of New York 1891 immi-
grants, of whom 9S,06l were from Ire.
land, 81, ,973 from Germany, and GALS
from Scotland. The whole number of
persons not natives who are now in the
| United States is believed 10 bo nearly
four millions, ar between fourth and a
fifth of the whole population. In the
year ending Sept. 80, ls4S, 229, 9,4S3 pas
sengers arrived in the United States; be
sides those via Quebec: l36,l2G were
males and 92,SS3 females. OF those
only 1929 landed at New Orleans. II
lS47 and AS, 507,359 persons left the
United Kingdom; in 1916 only l20 ,S5l.
Some think that the accession of pop
uatnn to the United States by immigra
ton will soon reach 100000 year.
Were our country filed up like Germany

ulation would be 500,000,000. Europe
contained lS3, 900 900 inhabitants in 49,
OF; in 1915 they had increased to 262,'
300 600 "n the same area. Excess oI
population, enormous taxation, and the
scarcity of subsistence, has driven mil
