The Next Census.


Gen. Walker, Superintendent Of the Cen
sns, Is reported as having made an estimate
Of the population of the United States in
1850 that will give on aggregate population in
That year Of 1865, 600, or a round increase
Of ten millions Of souls 10 the ten years from
1870 TO 1880 II is questioned By some on
fair grounds whether this is not TOO high.
Some Of the States, il is true, have increased
~ very large degree, but this has come about
rather by migration from the older to the
newer. States, than By immigration from
abroad or natural increase over the whole
country, or any Of the other influences that
gave such rapid impetnsto our national growth
N the years before the war. While the ins
iluenees that checked our growth inthadeeade
between 1860 and 1870, have, TO some extent,
worn themselves out, they have not wholly
ceased 10 operate; and to them have succeed
ed other Influences that have had a retarding
effect. In the Southern States, ruined for
tunes and special impoyerisbment OF the
people ofthat section have undoubtedly check
cd the growth Of the native population. De-
preston Of all industries there and through
out the rest Of the country has had similar
results, and has lessened the influx Of imni-
grafton besides. These must be allowed for
IN any estimate. Still, giving full force to
such considerations, General Walkers esti-
mate would seem 10 be within, rather than
beyond the mark. Taking the decades imme-
diatelly preceding the civil war, the figures
stand as follows in round numbers - 1870
H,O59, 900; 1903, l91 600; 1s00-3l ,443, =
900. Here we have an increase Of more than
thirty five per cent. for each of the decades.
Then, taking the decade including and imme-
diately following the war, with all its disturb
ing influences, End we have the following re-
suit --ls60-8l, 443, 900; 1ST0--3s, 558, 900;
an increase Of less than twenty. per cent.
But while we cannot expect to have an in
crease for the current decade (l8T0 TO 1891
OF the old.time thiriy-iive per cent, il must
certainly be largely in excess Of the twenty.
two per cent. Of the disastrous years 1860 70
1870. General Walker estimate Of growth
OF ten millions Of souls requires an increase Of
bnt tweniy-six per cent, which is only foul
per cent. higher than the lowest we have eyel
had, and is between nine and ten per cent
lower than the increase between either Of the
two decades from 1910 10 1860. Twenty. siA
per cent. is, therefore, a reasonable estimate
indeed, twenty-nine to thiyiy would hardl,
be too much. Fifty millions OF people in thu
