Growth of the United States.

The rapid growth of these United States, since
they became really a nation in other words,
since the adoption OF the federal constitutions is
not always realized, even by our own citIzens.-
We say, since they become nation, for, prior to
l7e9, they were bot a congeries OF States, often
on the point OF civil war, acting earthly to.
gether' and suffering consequently in commerce.
manufactures, agriculture, and prosperity in gen.
eral.
A few statistics will give notion Of this
growth. The population in 1890 was 1920 e72;
in 1850 it had swelled 10 %, 1911 $40; and il is
now twenty nine millions, if ii has increa sed in its
usual rario. In 1890 the population of New York
was 33, l31 in 1850 it was sis, 547; in 1890
that Of Philadelp hia was 40 $40 in 1850 it was
4U8. 1862; in 1890 Cincinnati did not exist in
1880 it had lis, 436 inhabitants. When the fed.
eral constitution adopted, the whole popula.
ton OF the United States exceeded but little that Of
Pennsylvania at the present time while the in.
habitants of all the principal cities were not
ever one-third the number of those Of Philadelphia
now.
In 1890 the public debt Of the nation was about
seventy-iy millions, and it was considered so
great, that, the adoption OF the constitution,
many persons had seriously proposed repudiang
it. AT present, the debt is less than forty five
millions, which is looked upon a mere baga.
telle. The annual revenue at first averaged only
two millions is now averages about fifty millions;
and OF these two millions, tenth raised by
direct taxation, while not a cent is thus raised
now. In 1871 cur tonnage SOP, l46; in
1858 it was 4.407,Ol AT the former epoch, we
exported about twenty five millions; we now ex.
port about two hundred and twenty. five millions
then we imported about thirty five millions, or
forty per cent. more than exports, now,
an average Of five years. The exports and imports
balance each other. In every way, therefore.
are prospecting. Never before, in period of but
Two generations, did any nation increase so fast
in material Wealth.
Moreover. The progress of the people in educa-
ton. general intelligence and social civilization,
has fully kept pace in the material advance. In
1890, he whole extent OF post routes the Unit.
ed States was only 1875 miles; in 1853 it was
already 2l7,743 AT the adoption of the Con-
stuOn. there was comparatively no school fund
anywhc ri present the school fund of twenty
States amounts TO $40, 5O9, $50. In l79U, there

Iyceums, ID not Il 1.-THE Of the existing number of
colleges and other hig her class academies. All
writers agree in stating that wealth was more
equally distributed, education more exclusive, the
pre- JUDGE OF caste more prevalent. 10 1871, there
were thousands who doubted the capacity Of even
he American people TO govern themselves; but
who questions it i'll 1855? Verify, this nation
has thriven, and without Ii parreel.-IhiLuoiel.

Philadelphia National Council.

This National C0nci of the Know. Mornings at
Philadelphia, according TO the information which
publish to-day, is most extraordinary con-
Germ. There never has been, we dare say,
more semhrkably diversified gathering Of congIom.
crate politicians in the United States. From that
(analical and fiery abotonist, Gen. Wilson, to
the mosI inveera,e Southern ultra, all grades Of
opinion "the Niger question: have their dele
gates at Philadelphia. Our special correspondent
seems to have his misgivings of The results of the
ODtnirn1 gattc'uan. They not troubled with
The ''sweet German accent ''the rich Irish
brogue )" but they will: find it ticklish business,
as between the North and South, to carry wafer
on both shoulders.
Their regular proceedings yesterday were sus.
pended for the purpose OF enjoying grand ban
qUet, at which, we presume, good deal OF bust
ness done, in sounding fshy members in
comparing notes, and in counting noses. Prior
to this banquet, the Louisian Catholics ruled
out Of .the society, from which we infer that the
prescription of Catholics, as SUCH is to continue
plank OF the American party platform. On the
other hand The scdous Wilson, O. MASSACHUSETTS,,
and his associaes, having been admitted among
the brethren in good standing, there is a pros.
pcct that the whole concern will be repudated by
the South, unless the Of an honest and out
spoken platform be applied to Wilson & Co. We
await further returns. The fate Of this American
party hinges upon the Philadelphia Council.
