The area of Missouri is 1880 square
miles, being the fourth in rank, as to area,
90, 405 square miles, ranking the tenth.
Missouri, then, has 1875 square miles
more than Illinois. This excess is greater
by 749 square miles than the aggregate
area of Massachusetts,, Delaware and
Rhode Island, containing in 1860 a popu-
latiOn of 1,517 1902. The population of
Missouri per square mile in 1910 exceeded.
that of Illinois .08; but, in 1860, the pop
ulation of Missouri per square mile was
1854, ranking the twenty and that
of Illinois 1890, ranking the thirteenth.
Illinois, with her ratio to the square mile,
and the area of Missouri, would have had
in 1860 population of 1852, O52; and
Missouri, with her ratio, and the area of
Illinois, would have had in 1860 popula-
ton OF, 81 SOB, making a difference in ia
vor of Illinois of 1, l1O, 239, instead of
$780, 1889. The absolute increase of popula-
ton of Illinois per square mile, from 1850
to 1860, was 1854, and of Missouri 7.43,
Illinois ranking the sixth in this ratio and
Missourithe fourteenth. These facts prove
the vast advantages that Missouri possess
ed in her larger area as compared with
Illinois.
But Missouri, in 1910, we have seen, had
nearly double the population of Illinois.
Now, reversing their numbers in 1910,
the ratio of increase of each remaining
the same, the population of Illinois IN
1860 would have been 2,905, Ola, and of
Missouri, COG, 083. If we bring the greater
area of Missouri as an element into this
calculation, the population of Illinois
in 1860 would have exceeded that of Mis-
souri, more than two millions and a half.
