Such, according to the aOove, is tee comparative
position in regard to population in the two coun-
tries-Canada and the United States-an the dednc-
tons of Mr.. De Bow from these premises. If tMe,
it Is lamentable if untrue, what are we to think
OF the author Of the comparison and deductions?
De Bow now occupies high position, being no
less than Superintendent Of the Census Bureau
and hence We might expect that he would not
peryert his figures, (which cannot lie." Bat let
US refer to official returns on the positions he
has given to the countries represented. Neither in
$780, 1910, nor 1850 censuses taken in Canada;
they were taken in Lower Canada in 1881 and 1851,
and there were also estimates made OF the population
of that province in 1914 aud ls4s, and in Upper
Canada in 1880, ls4l and 1851. The results o.
these censuses were as follow

fggsr Gppsr Canada Canada 20 as5 ss $ s5oot
Total. .................7 722359 l,l5809s IStA265
The latter sum, an aggregate OF I,27O,O7O more
than shown by De Bows table. The figures referring
to the States with which he compares Canada are
not far from correspondence with the official re-
turns. Having exhibited the delinquency in refer
ence to Canada, and having accepted the statistics
referring to the American States, let us examine
their relative bearing, and it will be seen that in each
decade the movements were as follow
Increase lS30-io. Increase l8i0-5O.
n ~ IN IN q

wiscnsn (popuation 80 80 94s) ;7a2as or Ss6s per Ct
Iowa.. population 43 ll2) lao i02 or 345 per CT
And thus it viii be seen that Canada has, in all the
period of comparison, increased more rapidly than
any OF the American States except New York, from
1880 to 1s4O and that in both decades the ratio Of
increase in Canada has infinitely surpassed that of
New York. In the decade ending with the last GEN.
sus. Canada increased 6s6 ITO, and New York-the
great gun in the comparson-only 6GS,473. So
much for the deductions Of De Bow and his heavy
car of monarchy
Let it be known to De Bow, that in Upper Canada
the population has than doubled in the last ten
years. and that in LO Oyer Canada it has increased
nearly 200 600. In Upper Canada they are "men Of
the sane Anglo.Saxon stock aud in Lower Canada
such as they have in New Orleans where his Reue,c
is published
And, frally, let Us present De Bow with the fol-
lowing table, which exhibits the proportion OF each
