NJ. Childers, speaking at Pontefract last
night, gave an account of his last American
tour. He spoke in terms OF high eulogy o.
tbs Americans.
The United States, he thought, was prob
ably the most prosperous country IN tne
world He estimated in fifty years It would
contain 800 600 900 inhabitants, while the
progress of England was necessarily limited.
He forcibIy presented reasons Why England
should seek the friendship and alliance OF the
United States.
So says a London dispatch Of April !. Il
the population Of these States doubles in
twenty-five years from 1870, it will be nearly
eighty millions; if in the next period Of
twenty-five years it should again double it
would amount in 1920 to one hundred and
sixty millions. But in 1900 the population
was 5,3OS, 900. in 1920 it was 9.633,OOO, or
lacking 1920 Of doubling in twenty years.
In 1910 the population reached. II, CG9, 900, or
about 2, 200, 900 less than twice what it was in
1890 In the next twenty years it reached
81, 433, 900. falling short Of doubling by
2,G95, co., From 1860 to 1870 the increase
was 7.l15OOO. or twenty-five and a half per
cent. leaving the population at last date 49,
55S, 900. At the same ratio Of increase the
population in 1880 will be II, 233. 900, in 1890
it will be $780, 900. in 1900 it will be co.
S79,O27. in 1910 it will be sc, S26. sos. and in
1920 it will amount to LOG. 1862, $40.
But it is noted that the ratio Of increase is
lower each succeeding decade, SO that by the
time the census of 1920 is taken it will prob
ably be found that the growth during the pre-
ceding ten years had been less than fifteen
per cent; SO that in the fifty years from 1870
to 1920 the increase will be less rather than
above 10000. 900. leaving the population at
tho letter date less than 100, 100000.
Immigration is one of the causes OF rapid
increase of our numbers. But while the tide
Of Immigrants will not cease for century, it
must exhibit constantly decreasing ratio Of
numbers to our increased population. Large
emigration from foreign countries has already
in some degree. the pressure of q
surplus and over-crowding Of inhabitants,
taking away in part the inducemen. to emil
CRATE. Governments across the Atlantic,
feeling IS of subjects to be q loss
Of national strength and wealth, are
paying more attention to the wants and well
fare of their laboring classes, with the view
Of preventing their departure. 1t takes strong
nducement to draw or drive people from
heir faith rland. and many privations are suf-
tered by them undor just government rather
han abandon their homes and the graves Of
their ancestors. On the other hand, labor is
not in as great demand or, at least, not pro-
portionally as well paid as in earlier times.
The period is past when the savings of an i'm
migrant family. from the wages Of their labor
for three or four years. will suffice to furnish
! home and farm. The area Of good vacant
and at cheap prices is very much narrowed,
md the foreigner who brings two or three
lundred dollars can no longer buy good
arm with it. The motive to come here will
hus constantly decrease, while the motive to
,tay ut homo will increase.
From the last mentioned proposition Of the
Englishman few Americans will
dissent There are multitudes of reasons
Why the Government OF Great Britain and
hat of this Republic should mutually strive
o establish and maintain relations Of the ut
most friendliness and good will. Every pos
hould be removed or warded of. It should
70 put out of the power Of de,nagogues, aspi-
ANTS. or sentimentalists to create hostility Of
ceiling between the two great republics.
Every Briton ought to be educated by the
Known policy of his government to respect
American rights; and American Presidents |
nd legislators ought to set an example of
putty and magnanimity towards the British |
Britons and British colonists |
The two free. enlightened and progressive |
,ations, who have the same origin, the same
language. the same literature. nearly the |
anne institutions and the same ardent love Of |
political liberty. ought. surely, never to be- |
,ome jealous, envious or hostile They |
,ught never to arm against each other by |
and or sea, and each ought to be ready and |
Wiling at all times to assist the other in self
war. The tyrants of the earth |
'hould be made to feel that in any just cause
he British Empire and the great North |
American Republic are allied by common
'ense Of international equity, a common love |
# liberty, common desire for the good Of |
he human race, common hatred of agrees |
ion and common pluck and proves to |
the right against the wrong.
