'The Review, in consideration of the matter,
thinks it but the exercise Of ordinary caution to
assume that the annual supply oftAe precious met
as aoiH not fall beloo hundred millions Of dollars
for many gears, and that in quarter Of century,
Mas supply a0aH depreclate money to one half Or one
fourth ITS present vrEue.''
Nowwe ask any of candor what becomes
of this plea in favor of shnpasters, when the fact
is thus presented, that the increase in the amount
of the precious metals has not only been sufficient
to preserve the ordinary equilibrium, but has en-
gendered serious apprehension ofa great moneta-
ry revolution. Providence seems thus to have
furnished an incontestible argument against the
necessity of lampblack and rags, in the aurifer-
GUS discoveries which have been made within the
past four years. If the Democracy who have
been battling SO long valiantiy against this popu-
lar humbug, do not now strike for complete VIC
tory over it they will be recreantto to their oft
peated pledges and professions.

The HOMESTEAD BILL,-The subject of grant

escape from the responsibility of acting upon SO
urgent and important measure. 1t is purely a

The country, with one voice, demands the pas

right it is just and popular, and why should the
servants of the people refuse to act or attempt to
evade their duties! Are the servants greater than
their lords? if SO, it is well that they should be

The CeERssas--ARzaerica and the Mother
GIDRsHRfry.

Mr.. Kennedy, the superintendent of the GEN.
sus states in his report that the largest portion of
the topics embraced in the last census is ready for
publication, while the remainder will not delay
the printing. In this document, says the Boston
Post, an immense amount of information is pre-
scented relative to the present state of Young A
merica, and its population productive powers, ed
ucational establishments, criminal statistics, and
other things. Among other facts it presents q
comparison of the growth of population here with
that in the mother country. Here, for the last 60
years. the increase has been about three and half
Der -peE-aaaula- for the -Whnla period But
in the mother country, sngularly enough, no emu
meration of the population of Ireland was made
until 1913, and that was quite imperfect; and the
first census of Great Britain was made in 1901.
when it had only ten millions and half Now
the population OF Great Britain-England, Ire
land, Scotland, Wales and the Islands, including
persons in the army, navy and the merchant SER
vice-amounted to 27,719,866, of whom 81 ,537,-
O52 were males, and l4,O82, ,8l4 were females
What an appalling comment on the state of things
does the facts of the population Of Ireland present.
From 1921 to lS4l it increased at the rate of one
per cent. per annum; while for the ten years from
1341 to 1851, the decrease was ,659, ,330-a dini-
mutton of two per cent. per annum, or twenty per
cent. for the entire ten years. The whole popu-
lation of great Britain and Ireland has increased
in ten years about half million; leaving out Ire
land it has increased Lilo per cent. per anuum.
In the same time the United States have gone
from 100000 to 10000, ,oo0-or thirty six per
cent.
