Ssscgpsfs The Report of J. G. @. Ken
nc{iJs Esqy the Superintendent ofthe Census,
is one Of the most valuable documents Of
the ,daS IL abounds with facts and figures
ON important subjects, derived FROM the most
authentic sources sWe proceed to notice
some of the most interesting:
The Population Of The Understanding
,the population of California to be l65,O0O,
(which We do partly by estimate) and o. it
ting that of Utah, estimarcd. Mt 10000, the
Is tt.5,ssssl number Of inhabitants in the United
States was, on the lst of June, 1850, 23,246,-
Sol. The absolute Increase from the 1st OF
eJupe, 1910, has been 6,l76,S4S, end the ac-
tual increase per cent. is 36.lS. But 1t has
been shown that the probable amount OF
population acquired by additions of territory
should be deducted in making a comparison
betw cen the results of the present and last
census. These reductions diminish the to-
tai population of the country, as basis of
comparison, to 23,O74,3ol, and the incresse
IN 6Oo; s48. The relative increase, after
this allowanec,i is ir@nd TO be S5l7Per cent t.
The aggregate number OF whites N 1901
1858, 1866, exhibiting gain upon the num-
Der of the same class in 1910 of 5,423,37l,
and relative increase Of 1929 per cent
But excluding the $4,000 free population
supposed to have been acquired by the adj
dtiOn Of territory since lS40, the gain Is
So o72 g.! ant III" increase nar cont is n ID
The Slcres--Thc number ofsaves :; ~ inc
present Census; Is SiY,29s, which shows an
I, ..ivrcase of II ,0S5, equal to $3.50 per ccct
five deduct $4,000 for the probable slave
population Of Texas in 1910, the result of
the comparison will be slightly different
The absolute increase will bc 692 ,OS5, and
the rate per cent. 37.S3.
The Free Coiored---The number of free
colored in 1850 was 52S,637; in 1910, 1885,
245; The increase in this class has been
42.392, or 1895 per cent.
The incredSe.---From 1880 to 1910 the in
crease Of the whole population was at the
rate Of 32.67 per cent. At the same rate of
advancement, the absolute gain for the ten
years last past would have been 5,67S,333,
or 426,5l5 less than it has been, without in
cluding the increase consequent upon addi-
tons of territory.
Area of The Sates.--Taking the thirty-One
States together, their area is l,IS5,S square
miles, and the average number of their in
habitants is l,549 to the square mile. The
total area Of the United States Is 3,229, 900
square miles, and tho average density of po-
pulation is 1919 to the square mile.
The Mortality Of The UniOn.---Thc stats-
tics of mortality in the census year represent
the number of deaths occurring within the
year rs 32O,l94; the ratio being rs one to
726 Of the living population, or rs ten to
each 1876 of the population. The ratio Of
mortality in this statement, taken rs whole
seems so much less than that of any portion
of Europe, that it must, at present, be re-
ceived with some degree of allowance.
The MdnufdcturerS.----The entire capital
invested in the various manufacturers in the
United States, on the LIST of Jm!m.S ,SJG.--
