Itfoilows as . conclusion q the highest
authority. either Lhat tae census of 1870 Was
srose'y detective Ia regard 70 tse whole e the
STATE or SONS consitsrabls parts thereof or
TIA. the census o. $50 wAs fra1gulsnt'
Those. Therefore. who believe IN the aecu-
racy aac honesty o. the tenth eensus-and that
vas thoroughly essaonshed-must accept the
0tarr alternative offered y General Walker
namely That tha niHsh census was grossly
defective WHAT was true of South Car
degree o. aIl Ia Southern States. There Is
OF course. no means OF ascertelniag accurately
The lxtent OF these omissions sut 10 al prooa
bu.ty thcg amounted 20 not less taan 500 00O
There II but little question that the population
q the U United States IN 1910 was ~ least soOcO
90 inhabir-ats instead OF E55s.S7i as
stated II this estimate of tbs ex
tent OF ne omissions In 1870 be cor
rec' the absolute increase between 1870 and
A. vas only about 70 1OD DO and the rate n,
ine. .ease vas not ar from IS per cent. These
figures compare much more reasonably with
similar deductions from the population In isSl

"0mltting FROM consideration those States
Ia which tho census OF 1870 Is known or is pre-
surnod 60 have beer faulty the rate Of increase
etween 1910 aud fSSO in the remaining States
hes been very nearly maintained IA the decade
between $50 snd 1880
The following table shows the population OF
the several states IS found by the census
enumeration OK the years 1870 and 1850:
