FREE TRADE.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as we'll as relieving the burden OF
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's -duguSt
Fo,cer and Bo>chee's German Syrup,
as the reduction Of thirtys six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
The size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-ffth
more medicine III the IS cent size.
The .4ugua F1o,ce'' for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German
Sw7p for Cough and Lung troubles,
have, perhaps, the largest sale Of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage OF increased size of the bot
ties will be greatly appreciated by
the sick AMI afflicted, in every town
and village in civilized countries.
Sample bottles for ten cents remain

Assuming that our vital statistics are COM
plete and accurate the birth rate of the
United States is somewhat less than the
average rate OF the five countries included in
the table, and the death rate is less bv over 5
in the 600 But, unfortunately. we cannot
fairly compare the American with the Euro
pean statistics As Dr. j. s Billings points
out, in his volunlinous report on the subject
it was impossible to collect for the census
data relating to births and deaths which
could be treated as full and trustworthy:
whereas in Europe such statistics are worthy
of entire confidence. Yet he has carefully
made such allowances for imperfections that
the result, as given by him, may be accepted
Us approximately correct.
The birth rate among the colored people is
higher than among the whites of the SOUTH
and more especially in the cities. In twenty
three counties. containing cities or large
towns, and having an aggregate population
of 5SS, l29 whites and $50, OBS colored the birth
rates per 1000 of the living population were,
for the whites. 2S. Il; for the colored 81. OS:
but in ffty-one southern counties, containing
only very small towns, and having an aggre-
gate population of 81, .05 whites and 591 $50
colored, the rates We're. white, "a 81 colored,
80 6. In the cities also the death rate is
much higher among colored than among
white infants, just it is higher in New
York among the children of the poor and of
the tenement house districts than among the
children of the more prosperous and better
housed
A curious fact regarding sex in births is
brought cut in the report. 1t is that the
proportion of female births was larger among
the colored than the whites. For each 100,-
600 male births there were 5,469 female
births, but IN the colored population the pro-
portion was nearly SO females to 100 males.
DIR. Billings also makes a very suggestive
comparison between the number of births in
different states and the number OF women be-
tween the ages of - and 80 living in those
states For instance. to each 1000 females
between these ages there We're during the
Census year l!.G bi,ehs in New HAMPSHIRE.
SD II Massachusetts,, S32 in Connecticut.
Ss.7 In Vermont, 93.9 in New York. ISL in
pennsylvania, l322.4 in Indiana, l33 IN Iowa,

bring into prominence the low birth rate Of
New England, where, but for the fecrnslity-
OF foreign immigrants. the proportion Of
births would be much less, for the rate of in
crease among the native population of the old
stock is startl1gly sniall-New York Sun.
