Evidently suicide is steadily increasing in
this country, especially in the large cities.
This is partially owing, of course, to the rap
id increase of population; but independent of
that. the tendency to self-destruction visibly
and disproportionately grows. Many per-
sons think that within few years America
will exceed all lands in this unfortunate re-
gard, and others, indeed, hold that it has al
ready reached the unhappy distinction.
Whether it has or not cannot be positively
ascertained owing to the loose manner of
collecting statistics in the United States.
The newspapers show an alarming increase
in this City-an increase far beyond that Of
the census. There are causes why suicide
should be commoner here than in Europe
notably, the higher nervous organization of
the people the greater changes of circum-
stance, the more general proclivity to specu-
lation, and the larger lack Of permanent con-
ditious. Race, climate, country, and social
environment have much to do with self-mur-
der, which has unquestionably been stimu-
lated by modern civilization, particularly by
the intensity, srti6ciality. and feverishness
of contemporaneous life. Statistics gathered
years ago indicated that in Sweden there was
suicide annually to every 92.375 inhabi-
tants; in Russia, l to 81, 246; in the United
States, TO $4,000; in Saxony, to 8. 446.
Our proportion would now no doubt be very
much larger. In Paris person is said to
commit suicide annually in every q, 900 cit
liens; in London and st. Petersburg in
every $1,000. 1t would be interesting to
know just what the proportion is in New
York. which is apparently increasing at
ffightful rate.
