hopelessly upon the wrong side, In spite

rreland,s Loss Of reputation.

That trouble Is depopnlating the
Emerald Isle is fact which stant forth
conspicuously in the light OF the late
census. The net loss Of the last decade
is exhibited by the following COMPARE
son:
1871, population. ............. 5,411,416
1881, population. n............ 6,211. 1873
This loss of 199, ,6S3 inhabitants repre-
sents but fraction Of the total emigra-
ton of the decade, the births of that
period having been 1892, ,113 to 969, ,110
deaths. To ascertain the total emigra-
tion Of the decade the following NUM-
bers must be put together:
Excess OF births over deaths. -. 423 ,03e
Net loss Of population. ....... 199, $3.50
In other words, had not the excess OF
births over deaths been 423, ,003, the net
loss of population would have been o22,
866, which is the actual number of emf
grants during the last decade. Which
| is to say, one ninth Of the inhabitants
| of Ireland have left the country within
ten years. Such a statement is appalling

But the emigration Of the next decad,
Is likely to be even greater. Some Of thu
