shape, but which can not be fairly
in a limited space. He
says Ohio has reached a period of de-
velopement in which emigration and
are almost equal. OF
her present population, Ohio has re-
ceived from other States 450, ,454, and
from foreign countries 372, ,493, making
a total Sd, 2,947. She has given to 9TH
er States, OF their present population,
SOC, ,9S3. Adding to the latter number
ihe number of her native population
that Ohio has probably given to for
eign countries, "wouid Iaake the sum
Of her vital gifts fully equal to those
she has received"
