blowing up Of The Maine. the officer who
had rejected this man received his letter
from him:

is the record Of the nations progress as
certified by the government: According
to the book as examined by the St.
Louis Globe Democrat, the population of
the United States is now 1897 600 Thirty
year aso-m 1S61-the population was
32,2ll 900 just about one-haIf what it is
now. We are increasing at the rate of
100000 a year. The money in the coun-
try is $3i. % per capita. That is more
than the per capita of any but six years
in the 50 past. 1t is $l-31 more than it
was in 1896.

country for any year since the war was
In 1861 it was sG926 The pensions cost
now $l5i per capita yearly. This is
slightly less than the cost lor any year
since 1891. The pension list is growing
but not quite 50 fast as the population

shows the per capita consumption of
imported merchandise. Americans now
take of the products of other countries

sumption of foreign goods was $1044 per
person. There has been little variation
The per capita of products Of other ma
tons consumed has been below $40 only
five times in 30 years, and above SIS per
capita but once.
The duties now collected are only So 10
per capita. In 1861 they amounted to
81. %. The progress of the country is
shown in It's population and in its exports.
In 1864 the United States sold Of its
products $.73 worth per capita. and in
1897 $l4l7. There have been only six
years in the 80 during which the per
capita of exports reached $ii. only IN
1892 has the export per capita been great
