THE LAUNDERING CENSUS.
Porter's Worthless Count Shown Up
by an English Scientific
journal.
LOSS to the Whole World Of Valu-
able Data for Purposes OF
Comparison.
There IL No Reason for the Great Falling
or In the Ratio of In
ii crease.

We are surprised that 30 little attention
ID being Given here to the totals of the
United States census which are just being
published, saws Nature, the English scien-
tifc journal. There is no more important
record in the life of people than its census
Accounts of progress are impossible with
out 1t. In the United States, also, special
attention is given to the census, partly be-
cause it is requirement OF the constltu-
ton. which assigns representatives to
states and districts in accordance with the
population figures. Every ten years in the
United States there is vast outlay on the
business, with which outlay nothing spent
in Europe can compare. But now there
are lound complaints all over the United
States that the record of 1890 is wrong;
that the population of cities and places has
been miscounted grossly. If these
complaints are true, the United
States might almost as we'll have had
no census at all. All the elaborate work
which is to be based on these population
figures is rendered useless before it is be-
gun. Apart from the direct loss to the
United States people themselves, who lose
the information about their own affairs the
CELSIUS MlRut Laws given tneiu, VIC WAoAo
world sustains loss in being deprived of
comparisons of many kinds with so remark
able progress rs that Of the United States.
Has colossal blunder, then, been made?
and what can be the reason of it?
That there is a huge blunder, or worse.
somewhere appears quite unmistakable.
Those who are interested have only to cast
their eve over the following table to see
that something unusual happened to the
1870 census and has again happened to the
1880 census:
AND INCREASE IN EACH DECENNlAL IEaIOD.

The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1890-12-17
Proportion to
population

Thus between 1880 and 1890, as far as the
element OF immigration il concerned. the
growth of population in the United States
was as much stimulated as in any previous
lS5O-6O period. There was absolutely no
reason. then, why the rate of growth should
fall OH between 1880 and 1890, but a special
reason why it should not fall off.
When we compare the figures in amount.
We We are stlll ,o more bewildered. Between
1870 and 1884, with an immigration of
:. 7O7 600 only, the increase OF population is
II, 598 ,000 SO that deducting the immipra-
ton, the increase which is due to the excess
OF births over deaths appears to be 8, 1891 900
Between 1880 and 1880, with an immigra-
ton of 5,275 600. the total increase of popu-
immigration the increase which is due to
the excess of births over deaths
appears to be 6,95O,OOO only! The
excess of births over deaths, which
was nearly 9,O00,000 between 1870 and
1880, falls to less than LOOK, 900 in tho fol-
lowing decade, although the population at
starting was % per cent greater in the later
than in the earlier decade. Making any
reasonable correction for the under esti-
mate in the 1870 census itself, which is now
admitted, We still find these figures most
startling. Even if VIC were to increase the
population of 1870 to 100000. as the su-
perintendent of the 1880 census now sug-
zests, thus reducing the apparent increase
between 1870 and 1880 from about 5000, 900
20 about SOC, 600, We should be still con-
fronted by the fact that, starting from a
arger population, and with larger immi-
grafton, the excess of births over deaths in
5000 would have been from Is to 80 per
tent. more than in tho previous decade, or
X least $500. 900, whereas it appears to be
tnder 100000. The figures Of the 1890
ensus are, therefore. quite incredible.
The superintendent of the 1880 census has
sued an explanation, which does not. we
par, amount to very much. He makes a
reat deal of tho errors in the 1870 census.
hich We have already glanced at, and az
srts that the rate of growth of popula-
pm, when proper corrections are made,
% much less than 30 per cent. in tie 1870
period. SO that tho rate Of 24115 ger cent.
tween 1880 and 1880 does not show great
ling OF. But while he makes too much
the 1870 errors in amount, he makes nc
ntion ut all of the much larger immi-
zion between 1880 and 1880 than in the
Fious decade. which should have MAIDS
6erencs of at least 81 per cant. in the
of growth in favor Of the latter ar
pared with the former period.
