Decline in the old states.

The returns Of the census exhibit some results
that were unexpected. Though the final footings
are not presented SO as to enable a contrast in all
the clements of human industry to he carefully
made enough is known TO leSd us to suspect that
the DEDUCTIONS to be drawn from the facts collected
will overthrow many theories IN regard 70 pupula-
non and progress which have had most currency
In the New England States, little advance is noted
Losses and hard times have diminished the yalEe
Of properly. and the census shows but hide IN
crease Of population over that returned IN lS5O.
In 1910 New England is reported as producing
2 200 600 bushels of wheat. In 1850 they yielded
hut 900 OOO-a decline of fifty per cent. It is be
heved that the census of 1860 will show still more
marked decline than noted in the previous
decade.
In New York the number of sheep has dccreas-
ed more than 800 900 in thirty years and within
four years the decrease Is said TO be near fifty
per cent, while the decline IN other species OF
stock viii probably not be less than fifteen per
cent. New York produced IN 1915 l339l,11O
bushels Of wheat but last year her product OF this
staple fell as low 100000 bushels
II Is plain that there is point reached In popula
ton and value OF real estate when States annually
send forth swarms of emigrants 10 the new and
cheap lands Of the wilderness thus building up new
States with such magic speed. Ii begins to be
demonstrated by the statistics of population, that
the question of price of lands governs the direction
OF emigrants more than the character of the inst-
tutlOns Of a State. ..
The employment of slave labor involves the ne
ceEsity Of large plantations, instead OF small farms
and the occupancy of large tracts prevents that
dense population of whites found in the free States
But this does not diminish the prosperity of the
State reduce its productive capacity. il Is real.
ly question Of doubt whether country sparSelv
populated by whites, YET cultivated by slave labor
does not soon attain higher fixed value and make
a more valuable annual return than one possessing
equal advantages wholly cultivated by white free
men. The census now about TO be completed will
furnish some interesting facts bearing on this sub
