THE SHIFTING TENDENCY OF
POPULATION.

The Philadelphia Times says that
The tendency of population in the
older states TO decrease in the rural
districts and increase at 4 very rap
i'll rate in the towns aud cities has
long been noted. In the earlier
days OF the countrv's settlement ag-
ricuiturc formed the st1:..c resource
OF much larger SHARE ol the people
than at present, and the tendency
Of population was IN the direction
of the country rather than toward
commercial and manufacturing cen
tres. During the last three decades
the tide has changed in rcmarka-
BILE manner and the population Of
the towns and cities is increasing
out of all proportion to the increase
i'm the rural districts In fact, in
many localities in the New hHgllnd
states and in eastern New York AMI
northern New Jersey lis,. country
population has declined.
The Massachusetts state census
for 1885, which is nearly completed,
shows that tlriS tendency exists IN
fully as marked :: gree at present
as at any time during the last thirty
years. In l0I towns ami one city
whose limits have been unchanged
since 1880 there has been IN actual
loss in population of s,85s inltabit-
ants. In SO towns and Il cities

SCHEMES IN FLOitI-
DA.

Fernandina Mirror: We are I'M
pressed with the danger Of the cX-
aggeration of the numerous land
companies in Florida. We have be-
fore us a three-column advertise
ment, covering the whole length of
a New York daily, which circulates
mainly among the small shop-keep-
ers, theatre goers, etc. The adycr-
tisement offers lot forty by one
hundred feet, which il less than one
tenth of an acre, Tor five dollars;
corner lots at ten dollars. 1t IS de
scribed as high pine land, and that
every lot has a shade tree thereon
either pine, oak, magnolia or bay.
The company especially recommend
the investment to ladies, with much
of the same land.
1t may be assumed from the map
that it is ordinary pine land, entire
" in the woods, and at a cons;lcra-
Bile distance from any existing rail-
way facilities, and, although called
city, only so on paper. To be sure,
five dollars is not much of an IN
vestment, but what is q lot forty by
one hundred feet worth for any
practical purpose to the purchaser
who may be induced - invest lit
tie savings fund in such : purchase:
OF course, the purchaser cannot re
side or settle upon such spot, aud
no benefit is derived 10 any one cX-
cept the projectors, who, at this rate,
would sell pine lam. in the woods,
unimproved and unmarketable, at
the rate of fifty dollars per acre, not
worth, probably, over ten, if that.
We want settlers and immigration,
but these schemes of planting cities,
50 called, all over our pine woods is
calculated really to do us more harm
than good. There are lands in Flor
da for the homesteading; others at
moderate prices from the state, and
from the railroad companies and
other private companies. 1t will be
= very long time before lots forty
by one hundred feet, in out of the
ny places, at little railway stations,
-e., will have anything but mere
ulative value. The fve-dollar
purchaser will be called on to
taxes; he will forget the time
OF payment; tax sales will be made,
and most of such lots will go back
into the hands of the company.
These schemes all seem to us
purely speculative, and not benefi-
cial to the state. We do not be-
lieve in humbugs.
