TAKING the census in this country is q
by no means easy task. The enumeration
is still incomplete, and year will proba-
bly, have elapsed from the time the work
was begun before all the returns are in.
Another year or more may be consumed in
printing the returns. But if the country
is in possession Of the whole results of the
enumeration 10 two years time, it will be
sooner by four years, than at any time
previous, under the operations of the pre-
sent law, The census of 1850 was not
printed in book form until 1866, and that
Of so not until 1859.
Every decennial census furnishes impor-
tant facts concerning the manufactures and
internal industries of the country, and the
value of such statistics is partly lost, if
half decade or more is required to pre-
pare them for the public The census
laws undoubtedly need revising. Five
months are allowed for the enumeration
and an unlimited time for publication, and
it is charged, too, that the results are, in
some particulars, inaccurate and incom-
plete. The system is manifestly too slow
and cumbrous.
