pared with the gains from 1850 70 1870,
approximately as follows, Iowa, so;
Kansas, 16O; Michigan, SO; Minnesota,
"a; Missouri, 3; Nebraska, So; Nevada,
400, Wisconsin, l. Its also 10 be re.
marked that though the gains Of some Of
these States were very large, during the
ten years ending with 1870, there were
gains in the preceding decade that were
much larger. Thus the gain per cent, In
Minnesota in the two years ending with
1860 was 27S.o72, and In Oregon 2s7lS,
figures which can DO fairly contrastsd
with the gains made between 1850 and
1870 by Kansas, 242; BY Minnesota, 1856,
and BY Nevada, $40.
The fact that comes out on this exami.
nation, Is that the States that have grown
so rapidly In previous years, are NOT
maintaining their rate Otincresse, The av'
srage Of the fifteen States whose censuses
have been reported since 1870, is 10, AZ, OF
doubling it for ten years, 30.S4. But all
four Of the Eastern States whose censuse'
have been taken show an increase. The
falling of lie in the Weut. Not single
one maintains its old rate. While
therefore the average increase, in pei
cent Of the fifteen states shows up we'll
1854, as compared with the increase in
past years, 1t does not show up well for
the West when we come to analyze ii
closely.
Now The point to which We are coming
is that the Sun argues that as the fifteen
States already examined show an average
rate Of increase in excess Of the rate for
1S6O-ls7O, It Is fair to conclude that the
other States will maintain their rate. In
this estimate are included Ohio, Indiana
Illinois and California. But all Other
States surrounding these show a falling
of in the rate OF increase from that Of the
last decade. What reason Ia there to
believe that the rate will be kept up in
these four. The actual gain in pOpula'
ton, on the Suns theory, in these five
States would aggregate 100000, equal
to half the gain in the fifteen we have al.
