THE CENSUS AND ITS RESULTS.

For many reasons, the general results OF
the present census will be awaited with UNI
usual interest. In the first place, it prom
ises TO be the most complete, IN scientific
sense, that has been yet taken, the informa-
ton with reference tc -rslI0us matters that
viii De obtained being as vast in amount as
it will be valuable in detail. This informa-
ton will furnish stOrehouse of material
for thought to the sociologist as well as TO
the political philosopher, and will be made
the basis for much future legislation.
The tendency Of the age is towards an
enlargement of the scope of the census, in
acquiring more extensive and more ac-
curate knowledge of the general condition
of the people, moral, as well as material,
and this tendency will grow even stronger
with each decade. This is fact to be com
mended. rather than condemned, for it is
through the agencies Of the census alone,
the organized power Of the National Gov
ernment brought TO bear once every ten
wears, that so complicated and so vast a
work as securing all the various informa-
ton that will be wanted can be successfully
carried out
There are two subjects upon which the
present census will throw light, which are
regarded with special interest by the Amer
lean public: First, the relative growth of
the white and black populations in the
South; and, secondly, the expansion Of our
cities.
As 10 the first, nothing can be definitely
anticipated. Has the black population in
creased in numbers more rapidly than the
whiteY This is a momentous question, but
one which is at present mere matter of
conjecture. There is popular belief that
the negroes have exceeded the whites in
their additions to the great body Of the in
habitants of the South, and Ills is probably
true, but it is mere probability, which
may be entirely oyerthrOwn by the census
reports. That the whites have increased
even with immigration more rapidly than
the blacks, is hardly possible, but it is TO be
hoped that they have maintained ratio of
increase at least equal to that of the negro
population.
Considerable light has already been thrown
upon the growth Of our cities in population.
This growth has been almost unprecedented.
1t seems like mere statement of fiction to
say that a little more than 100 years after
the adoption of the Constitution, there
should be one general urban community in
this country-New York and its associated
cities-which has at least 100000 inhabi-
tants. There has been a proportionate
growth in all of the other leading cities. If
this represents the expansion in size of a
hundred years OF national existence, what
will be the result of 200 or 800 years, short
period ofime in the history of a people;
The Imagination itself calls halt in its eff
fort to form an adequate conception of the
result.

has given up, as he cmphatically announced
a few weeks ago. all aspiration after the

rs most important and vital features. Har-
rison. who is actively scheming to succeeo
himself. and who is watching so careiul'y

view. recognizes this. Observe the haste
with which he has declared that he ala not
agree in this matter with the secretary OF
state. a necessary step from his poiitica'
s;andpoint. No doubt. too, his desire 10
show his independence in thought Of biaiho
has entered into his action.
In setting himself so distinctly against
the policy Of his party associates as en-
bodied in certain parts OF the Mchmie,
bill. Blaine, Indifferent TO all the dictates OF
Presidential aspirations, is simply follow
ing out n line Of conduct which the most or
binary patiotism suggested after the STUDY
which he has made Of the needs Of our COM
merce. with reference TO the South ana
Central American States. Probably, never
before did Mr.. Blaine have so excellent an
opportunity Of making thorough exam
inaiion into the practical working OF
nro,ective system in it's relation TO the bene-
fits 10 be derived from an increase IN lhe
volume Of trade with foreign nations. for
many months, he has had this side oil our
commercial policy under review, Tor nc
has found that it, and il alone, stood in the
way of the development of an enormous
trade with the Republics lying to the south
of the United states. To bring our coun-
try into closer social, political, and fnan-
cial union with these Republics, is now the
fayorite policy Of Mr.. Blaine, but the pro-
tective system. in its present unmodiheo
form. is the lion in his path.
Forty millions of people, he said in the
committee, had expressed Willingness to
admit our food products free five would
take the duty off their sugar, and in the face
Of that proposition our Congress proposed
IN nut sugar on the free list without de-
handing any concession in return. mother
words, the principle Of reciprocity, was
wholly ignored in a matter which would re-
suit in furnishing a market for from $4,000,
600 10 500, O00, 900 worth Of breadstufls anC
provisions if that principle were adopted
1t remains TO he seen whether the sugges
ton of Mr.. Blaine will be taken up, but this
is improbable, for the adoption of the princi
pie Of reciprocity in one instance would leat
to its gradual adoption in all, which woult
be radically opposed to the policy Of the Re
publican party.

yHrr CoINAGEoF SILVER.

The action OF the Senate in respect TO the
Silver bill was perhaps surprise as much
10 themselves as to the rest OF the world.
That such action can be considered prudent,
may be maintained only by those most san
guine about the speedy restoration OF the
market value OF silver 10 its arbitrary legal
ratio 10 gold OF 16 to !. That this VIII
eventually be the case is highly probable,
but IL Is far from certain, and the contract
thus proposed 10 DC undertaken by the
United states TO lift the whole vol
ume of silver of the world up to %
per cent. in market value is so great
that failure is not impossible. Fully recog-
nizing the imperative necessity for an in
creased currency, and feeling the just COM
plant Of those who suffer by its contraction,
This action of the Senate must be deemed
both unwise and unnecessary. 1t would
have been reader solution of the troubles
Of the contracted currency, to have author
lied not the unlimited coinage Of the law
full silver dollar, but the unlimited use OF
silver certificates, such as were provided
for in the so-called "Caucus BILL" whereby
only dollar Of obligation would be issued
for an actual dollar Of market value of
metal.
1t seems useless 10 deny the fact that
standard ofvalue of the civilized world, but
that metal of itself does not afford a sufi-
cient currency for the uses Of trade and
finance. The silver countries have silver
as a standard, and do not recognize gold;
they, therefore, pay heavy tribute to the
gold countries, as we have heretofore shown.
We must he either silver or gold coun-
try as 10 standard Of value. II we make
silver the standard, then gold becomes a
commodity and goes out; for as long
rs gold can be taken from this coun-
try and carried abroad for the purchase
of silver which may be returned 10 this
country, and by arbitrary act of law be
given purchasing power far beyond its in
trinsic value, then, Of course, gold flows
out, silver comes in. But if the silver owner
can only get the value of his silver by a
gold standard, then silver only becomes
money where il can be used to better adj
vantage as money than it can be for indus
trial purposes, and thus silver and gold will
stand on exactly the same footing, this
being the case at present with gold. Only
such gold goes into coin as the owner of the
gold is unable TO make more valuable to
himself for other purposes.
These seem elementary truths, and should
prevail in the financial policy Of so great a
nation as this.
