A "GREAT COUNTRY The United States,
in the last ten years, have added vast extent
of territory, aud received large increase in
population. BY the census returns, it is shown
that in the period mentioned the area Of the
United States has been extended from 2, ,O55, 6S
to 1921 595 square miles. Great Britain, eX-
elusive Of Ireland, contains Sd 600 square miles
The extent of the United States is therefore 95
times as great as the Island Of Great Britain
France contains an area Of 1877 400 square
miles-a territory less than one fifteenth Of the
size Of that Of the United States. Austria, in
cluding Hungary and the Italian dependencies,
contains but 300 900 square miles. Russia is the
only nation which exceeds the United States in
extent IF territory. She has, including her
immense AsiatiC POSSESSIONS a territory Of about
900 900 square miles. The whole Of Europe
contains only 3 S07 1876 square mies which
exceeds by less than one. fifth or 545 600 square
miles the territory Of the United States In
population, the growth Of the United States is
no less extraordinary. The total population on
the Ist June, 1850, was % 246 30l. The
absolute increase from Ist June, lS4O, has been
l,176S48, and the actual increase per cent. i,
36l8. Deductng for population acquired by
additions of territory, and the relative increase
after this allowance is found to be 35 II per
per cent. The aggregate number Of whites in
1850, was 10 GIG 366, exhibiting gain upon
the number of the same class in 1910, of 5, =.
422, 81, and relative increase OF 1920 per
cent. Bat excluding the l53, 900 free popuIa-
tiOn supposed to have been acquired by the ad.
dition Of territory since 1910, the gain is 5
270,37l, and the increased per cent. 81 IA
The number Of slaves by the present census i,
3,I99 296 which shows an increase Of I'll ,085
equal to % So per cent. If we deduct 10 OO(
for the probable slave population of Texas il
lS40, the result Of the comparison will bl
slightly different. The absolute increase will
be 692 OBS and the rate per cent 27.93. TIT
number of free colored in 1850 was 425, 637, il
lS40, $50 245. The increase Of this class ha
been AZ, 392, or 1895 per cent. From emigra
tion, the increase of population in the last ter
years, was 739 1872, which, deducted from thu
amount of white population above given, make
the increase 3, 3,669 1863 and the rate per cent. il
reduced to 2595. There is probably no coun,
try in the world which exhibits growth 81
