that if any German paper should ven

as is done with regard to English Minis

England, the editor would be so over
loaded with prosecutions that he would
have to pass the whole of his time in
the courts of justice.

The annual growth of Iowa from 1860
to 1870 was 80, oil persons from 1870
to 1875 it was 81, 305. The growth of
Kansas during the decade averaged 25,-
719 persons each year during the last.
five years it has been 32,80S persons
each year. Massachusetts, had an aver
age growth of 22,626 in the former
period of %, $40 in the latter Michi-
gan had an annual increase of 43, 495 in
the earlier period, and of 81, 493 in the
years from 1870 to 1874. Minnesota's
annual growth from 1860 to 1870 was
26, 768 from 1870 to 1876 it was 80, OPT.
Nebraska's annual increase during the
earlier period is not known, but during
the last five years it has more than.
doubled its population, or thatits increase
must have been several times as large.
Nevada was admitted in 1864, and it's
population In 1860 is not known. New
jerseys annual increase from 1860 to
1870 was %, 400 during the last five
years q, 1851. New York received an
annual accession of $4,000 during the
earlier period, of Cd, 400 during the lat
ter. Rhode Island added 4, 085 annually
during the earlier period 8,170 during
the latter. Wisconsin added q, 1879 an
nually during the ten years, 1886 dur
ing the five just ended. Rejecting the
returns from the three Southern States,
we see that the absolute rate of growth
was not on the whole diminished The
relative rate was not far from stationary.
Thus the growth of New York in ten
years was about % per cent in the last
five years it was 73 per cent. on the
population in 1870. In few cases only
has there been a loss in the rate of ab-
solute growth, but the percentage reck-
oned on the higher basis does show only
a narrow margin of increase. Undoubt-
eddy the States that are reported are
rather better than average specimens,
but we do not believe that on the whole
the check our growth has received is
perceptible taking the country at large.
The eleven States whose returns are
worth anything show growth of 1872
900 in five years. AS they represent
much more than one-fourth of the whole
country, it is safe enough to estimate
that the increase during the last five
years has been five millions, making
our total population in the middle Of
1875 something more than forty-three
millions. Boston AdUertiser.

OUR PRESENT POPULATION.
What the State Enumerations of 1875
show

What the State Enumerations of 1875
Show.
1t has been assumed. too hastily, we
think, that the growth of the country In
population has received serious check.
Ihls conclusion is based on the returns
OF part of the censuses taken last year.
We have not seen anywhere table con-
tanning the results of oil the enumera-
tons, and we have endesvored to supply
the deficiency. So far as known there
were eighteen States that took a census,
OF their population during the year 1876.
One other made an enumeration in 1874.
OF the whole fourteen, eleven are sup
posed to be trustworthy, and three are
not SO. The census of Texas is an esti-
mate SO far as it is supposed to give the
total population. A school census was
taken, and the figures below are based
upon the result of that, corrected by a
comparison of the votes at different cleo
tions. In Louisiana the object of the
census was to prove that there was
large excess of colored over white people,
and it is needless to say that the figures
give the desired result A note added
to our return of the census in South
Carolina reports that no dependence is
to be placed on it, as there was very
bad set of enumerators, and that the
figures are at least Is per cent. too high.
These are the Southern enumerations
that have been taken since the national
census of 1870. The return for Michi-
gan is that for the year 1874, so that it
represents one year less Of growth than
in tho okhor oococ.

Cost of a Strike.

It is said that Fall River lost 81, 000,-
coo through the protracted strike of mill
operatives last fall, and that the heavy
failure of Easton & Milne, private bank
ers, was caused by their inability to
negotiate Fall River paper, through the
enormous depreciation of mill stock and
real estate, precipitated by labor disputes.
The nominal share capital of the forty
two mills in Fall River is $4,000, 900,
much of which has shrunk in value fifty
cents on the dollar.
