 Tho history of Catholicism in he United States during the last two generations k most effectively ex- pressed in figures. In 1880 there were nearly talf 8 million Catholics in population of l3,000,000. By l840 their numbers had doubled, while the population had increased only to 100000. the proportion of Roman Catholics 10 the entire population having risen from l26 10 l.l7. Before the next decade clessd, the Irish famiuc had occurred, which was tho chief cause of the enormous accession of 100000 or Roman Cath. olic inhabitants, and tho 3000,000 American adherents of the church in 1850 constituted one-eighth of the to- tai population. During those ten years tue immigration into the United States was composed annually of about 100000 Irisb and S0,000 Ger mans; but in the next decade change took place, aud accordingly in 1854 we find that 220000 Germans landed in Amcrca and only 10l GOO Irish. The proportion of Catholics among tho Irish immigrants is about seven eighths; their proportion amoEG the Germans depends on the provinces from which Tn a given year the Imm- grants come, and varies from one-iiah to one-half of tho total number. rhe Catholic population never lost ground, aud now, in 1890, the lowest estimate of it's numbers is 5000, 900, the highest estimate 100000, ln total popula- tion of nearly 05,000,000. The next census of tho United States will deter mne all cenjectnras, but meanwhile it is safe to consider that the Roman Catholics number obe-s,Xth U the in habitants of the Republic. - Edin- burGh Review.
