THE NATIONS POPULATION.
Sixty-two and Half MIIlions-Some Very
Disappointing Figures.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 3l.-The
population Of the United States as
shown by census bulletin issued to-
day is GO, 4sO,540 These figures may
be slightly changed by later and more
exact compilations, but such change
will not be material. In 1850 the popu-
lation was 80. 155, 7G3. The absolute in
crease of the population in the ten
years intervening was y, 1924, $50, and
the per centage of increase was 24.57.
In 1870 the population was stated rs
IS, ,j5s,37l
According to these figures the absolute
increase in the decade between 1870 and
1850 was II, ,597, ,i12, and the percentage
of increase was 30.Os. Upon their face
these figures show that the population
has increased between 1850 and 1890,
only 727,247 more than between 1870
and 1850. when the rate of increase has
apparently diminished from 30.0S to
2f.57 per cent. II these figures were
derived from correct data they would
be indeed disappointing. Such reduc-
tiOn in the rate of increase in
the face OF the enormous i'm
migration during the past ten years
would argue great diminuton in the
fecundity of the population, or a cores
ponding increase in its death rate.
I hese figures are, however, easily eX-
planned when the character OF the data
used is understood. 1t is well known,
the fact having been demonstrated by
extensive and thorough investigation,
that the census Of 1870 was grossly de-
ficient in the Southern States, so much
so as not only to give an exaggerated
rate OF increase in the population be-
tween 1870 and 1850 in those States but
to affect very materially the rate Of in
crease in the country at large.
The following table shows the popu-
lation of some Of the several States as
found by the census enumeration Of the
years 1890, 1850 and 1870:
United States, 1890, G2.4S0,5i0; lssO,
30, 15j, 7S3; 1870, 3s,55s,37l.

Governor Hill Takes IA Hand.

ALBANY. y. Y, October 3l.-Gov
Hin has addressed Il letter to Secretary
of the Interior Noble, asking for re-.
consideration of the Secretary'S refusal
of Mayor Grants request for new
enumeration Of the inhabitants of New
York CITY. The Governor says; Be
tween the enumeration taken by en-
ploves of the Census Bureau ana
that taken by the police OF
New York there is difference
of nearly POO, 600 names. Either one
census or the other was radically lnac-
curate. This involves seriously the
rights of the State, and perhaps some
time i'm future the political control ol
the Nation. Two hundred thousand
additional inhabitants will make an
ference 10 the State Of New York OF at
least one member Of Congress IN the
next apportionmcnt and one vote in the
electoral college
This is time for plain words. Every
selected to count the inhao-
itontS of that great Democratic city was
a partisan of the party now in controi
of the national government, appolhteu
for past polical service and upon the
recommendation OF their local party
leaders. 1t was to their polit-
ical interest that the party
from which they had received patronage
should be the beneficiary Of their
labor. Under these conditions the sus-
picion is hardly unjuStiiiable that
directly or Indirectly political motives
TO a large degree explain the detective
ness OF the Federal census.

STATE OF TRADE.
business of the Country Continues Large
and Payments Prompt.

New YORK. October SIR. G.. Dun
Il Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The approach of elections has caused
some Slackening of trade at many points,
which is obviously temporary. At near
y all cities trade continues remarkably
large and the payments through all
clearing houses outside Of New York
for the month of October will probably
be- the largest ever recorded in any
month.
Boston notes increasing capacity by
the largest wooden mills. Manufacture
crS are paving advanced prices for wool.
Hides are lower. but leather very firm.
Philadelphia reports wool very firm and
the trade healthy aud promising. At
Chicago, receipts Of grain fall below last
wears, and hides and wool third, but
cured meats and dressed beef show in
crease. The dry goods and clothing
tradss surpaSS last years, and the shoe
trade aS well.
The great industries are doing more
ON the whole than at any time IN the
past. While iron production Is in the
maximum and the market at Philadcl-
phia is Every mixed. Iron seems
stronger and steel weaker: best foundry
iron is unchanged here, at Philadelphia
and at PittSburg, but BeSScmer iron is
weak and at PittSburg lower, with steel
rails 40 cents lower. DiSagrecmentS in
the association are reported, and the
market here is demoralized with sales
reported at SO at the mill. In bar and
plate iron large orders are less frequent
/ but the mills are busy and small orders
/ are active.
The packing business is heavy ana
prices OF pork products steady. Wheat
/ is half cent higher on sales OF 22,OOO,-
/ 900 bushels. and corn has risen Ia cents
ON sales of 1000. 900 bushels, eats being
tbree-ouartcrS stronger also. Oil has
ldcclined abont 50 cents in small trad
ing. Sugar, both raw and refined, Is
shade lower.
The business failures during the last
seven days numbered 9ls, aS compared
with 925 last week. For the corresponds
ing week Of last year the figures were
pol.
The exports from this port for fouT
weeks have been Sl0,000,0OO larger III
value than last year.
Imports here also show an increase
over last year of Slj,00S, 600.

TUNNEIToN. W. Va, October 81
Eddie Elliott, the "boy orator." is not
a drawing card. The meeting at Eel
louisville, the stronghold of Republi-
caniSm OF Preston, was another failure.
lie learned a point or two about the
Tariff which was not down on his made
tO-order -ElkinS- Mason speech. He
threw out the defy TO any one 10 name
one American product that the McKin-
ley bin injured. Gus j. ShatIer, Il
prominent saw mill man and
manufacturer OF shook. said
he would name the molaSses-boiling and
coOpcrage industries, which had been
destroyed rs if struck by lightning, as
predicted by Senator Frye.
Mr.. Shatfer stated that he had several
hundred dollars worth OF shook on hand
which he sold AT one dollar and fifteen
cents per shook before the Mckinley
bin passed. and he would gladly enter
into written agreement then and there
20 sell his shook To- Mr.. Elliott or any
other good Republican for Seveuty-iiye
cents a piece, as he could find no home
market for them. Elliott had 10 hui
miiiatiugly admit that he knew nothing
about the shook industry, and he found
mo- difficulty I'm convincing his hearers
that he knew nothing about the tariff.
