obtained for him the grace and favor OF

THE PRESENT AND FUTURE

For the past seventy years the ratio OF

cadc. This ratio would give us $4,000,
600 population in 1870. And though
the war interferred vita the increase. il
is hardly probable that wC shall fall be-
low 4 200, 600, against $4,000, 600 re-
turned by tho last French census, and
less than a0,000,000 in Great Britain.
If this is so, the ate will establish "a,
600, 600 in 1880, more than l,000,00C
in 1890 and about 95,000,00o for the

than proportionate to the increase of GU
