important Information in q very compact
form.
Ia respect to territory, it appears thai du.
rlng the last ten years, we have extended !
:he area ot the United States from 2.055. |
los TO 3,230,572 square miles, without inclu |
dug the great lakes, or sea bays
/ The population gained by these aces /
sions, is $4,000. No full returns have as |
yet come IN from California, but assuming
/ lis population partly by estimate at l65, 900 |
the whole population of the Union is % .. I
, 63,4SS. Absolute increase from 1910. 6,l.
9IO35; increase per cent. sc %. or deduc-
ling thar from addition of territory, aud the
relative increase is 1927 per cent.
| The number of whites is $3.50, 73S. aud
the relative increase the last ten years, ia
4 3S % per cent.
The slaves amount to 3, 3,2Ol, ,OS9, relative
increase 2S.sl per cent,
The number OF free.coored is i2S Col,
relative increase since lS40, 20 96 per cent.
II we refer TO the date of previous tables,
! it appears that the increase of the whites in
tue Union every decade since 1890, has
been very equa!; being lowest from 1890
to 1880, (33 95 per cent? aud highest in the
last (3o % per cent? With the slaves, the
greatest increase was from 1920 to 1880,
(30.6l per cent? and tie least. from 1880
to 1870, cess per cent) Tue average lu~
crease ol the free-colored on the other hand
has regularly diminished since 1890 being
S2,2 per cent in the first decade, 25 25 in
the third and rising a little in the fourth, it
falls in this last to 9G per cent. A fact
worth considering as respects the probable
destiny of this race.
In the most favored country of Europe,
the report states the decimal ncreaselis less
thar per cent, per annum, while IN the
United States, it is 81 per cent IN 50 years
with the present rate of increase on both
continents the population of the Union will
exceed that of England France, Spain,
Portugal, Sweden, aud Switzerland com.
bintd,
As respects the rate Of increase in the dIf
ferent New Eng land States, during the last
ten years, it is the greatest in Rode Island,
C35,67,) and least in Vermont q 59)--whch
Is also The least in the Union.
What is somewhat remarkable the rate of
increase in the great States of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio aud Maryland, is less
than in either Rhode Island or Massachu-
sets.
In the whole Union Wisconsin shows the
greatest ratio, (S90.46) next, Iowa (345 81
then Arkansas Ql4.S5) and Michigan Isl,
33)
In regard to the number of emigranls, the
report goes into an extended though, As it
seems TO us hardly thorough enough exams
nation. The conclusion is that there are
now, OF Immigrants, aud their descendants,
since 1910, in the Union, 1850, ,93l. OF
these, 1912, 500 arrived during the last ten
years, or about double the number of the
previous decade
Tables are given for the density Of popus
lation of the States. Massachusetts aad
Rhode Island are The two most populated
the former having l27 40 inhabitants to the
square mile; the latter, 1891. The least
are Texas (0.S9 to the square mle,) and
Florida, Q47) Taking the 81 States, the
average number is 81 to the square mile
with the whole area, as 1t is.
The number OF slaves manumitted and
escaped during the yeal ending June 1850,
is given. the latter amount all, 10 o. /
the former to ACT. Maryland loses the
most (279) then Kentucky (96) and then
Louisiana (90) OF the manumllted Mary
land claims 493 Delaware 277 aud VIr-
ginia 2lS.
OF the slaves of the respective States,
Virginia has the largest number-472, 52S,
the next, South Carolina, 3S4934 and the
smallest, Florida. $4,000 aud Delaware
2,2sO.
The free colored are the most numerous
in Mary OFT and Virginia, 53,s79
Pennsylvania has also SO 1928. The least
J numbers are in Iowa, 33j aud Texas 33l.
A table OF the number Of deaths and their
ratio 10 the living in each State, has been
) also made This is a deeply important mat
; ter, aud it is to he regretted. for the sake OF
? science, aud likewise for the sake OF the
National health, that there were no more
/ facilities furnished the officers OF the Census
; They have done wei, as far as their means
would permit.
From this, it appears. that the two States
where the number Of deaths is greatest, in
! proportion TO the Iigiug, are Massachusetts,
and Louisiana. The ratio in the former
being one to every 81 23 and in the latter
one TO 1885. Wisconsin, Vermont, Iowa,
and Florida are apparently the healthest !;
7 the average OF the first being one to every
+ 1O5.S2; OF the second, to l00,29 of the
third and fourth, to 94,06 aud 90 67. The
: average OF New York; ii one considers the
) terrible mortality among our immigrant
I population, speaks well for Ihe climate
$ being 69s5
e We have not space here to draw extend
ed conclusions from those interesting data
The diseases which are the especial cause
u OF this great mortality iB the two extremes
!. OF our Union. are probably Consumption
