The Herald Of New York claims 10 have
Information as 70 the country's popula-
ton. According to this information the
population Is about 75.57s.ooo. Il is APP
parent. however. that these figures do
not show the population accurately. II
would not be surprising n d should APP
pear. when the returns are complete.
that the Heralds figures are far from be-
ing correct II says. however. tina, so
large a part Of the couns has been com
pleted thas IL Is possible 20 get very near
the truth.
Assuming that the HeraId's figures are
approximately correct Il seems that the
country has added about 100000 persons
70 It's population during the last ten
years There T. an increase OF nearly 20
per cent. There ought so be no complaint
OF that showing. However. Il Il should
finally appear that there are S.ooo.eo0 peo-
pie under the Jurisdiction OF the conssi-
tuition. there would not be a great deal OF
surprise.
ono thing the census q certain 20 show
Is that che increase m the cities has been
much greater than in the rural district
some OF the cities show phenomenal
growth. The desire 70 get away from
the farm seems to be as great In one part
OF the country as another. The reason Il
probably that nfe In che country Is very
lonely. and the opportunities for getting
ahead In the world are not 80 great rs
they are in the towns. Farmers sons.
however. should not overlook the fact
that comparatively few OF those who seek
homes in the cities secure the prizes
which are to be found there. As a mat
ter OF fact there are bat few prizes and
many seek them As rule the
farmers boys who remain IN the country
have greater success In life and more
happiness than those who seek their for
tunes In the cities.
Since the hrst census was taken the
center OF population has moved steadily
westward at the rate OF about Ave miles
year. In 1870 Il was twenty-shree miles
east OF Baltimore. II Is expected the
census OF this year win NIX Il near the
city OF indianapolis. II Is not probs-
bic. however that Il win continue TO move
westward AZ the rate OF Ave miles a year.
There IL. OF course. a great deal Of good
land vet unoccupled In the Northwest,
but the mountain states viii noe be set

Middle West were. Besides, there Is ev-
cry probability that the South viii at

ursrrH.s INTERESTING STATISTICS

The annual report OF Secretary Hester
Of the New ORLEANS Gotten Exchange
contains valuable and interesting infor-
nation. he puts the cotton crop OF 1872
1850 az !. igg gi6 bales being less than the
crop % the previous year By i.szs.a2t hases'
But tho South rof a great deal more
money for the is99-i9oo crop than for that
Of the previous year. because the price Of
cotton WIS so much better. Acccrding 70
MS nguFes tho crop Of iSee-isoo brought
sos. 7SsOoo while that OF is9s-isao although
nearly two million bales greater. brought
only Se,2.Uaooo.
The statement emphasizes IN = remark-
able way the fact that 81 is better for ne
south to raise only just as Enuch cotton
as the world wants al q price whiea VIII
afford the cotton growers reasonable
pront The world has only about 80 mach
money 20 spend FOR cotton goods. As a
general rule an average crop hrfngs aoout
az much money as a big one. But Il costs
the cotton farmers great deal more
10 cultivate big acreage than a sulaA
one. They would be far more prosperous
II they shouh give more attcntino 70
stock and grain and less 90 cotton. BY
pursuing that policy they wouh buiid up
their farms ~ that one acre wes.ld grow
az much cotton as two DO now. The in
dications this year are that they VIII Be-
gradually forced TO adopt thai policy. be-
cause Of the diaiculty OF getting the labor
necessary TO cultivate and harvest large
acrcagss OF cotton.
The figures which Secretary Hester pre-
sents IA respect 60 cotton manufacturing
in the South justify the position taken BY
the Morning News on many occasions.
namely, thai me time IL approaching
when the greater part OF the cotton crop
will be taken BY mills located near the
cotton fields. In the last ten years there
have been built IN the South 81 cotton
mills. there being on September Of this
year Sos. The number OF spindles IN the
south - 6.2s7 .ls8. the increase during the
last year being i.si50Il. and the number
OF new mills built last year-that Is, for
the year that closed on Sept Twas iiS.
The outlook for the cotton crop this
year. especially In this section. Is FAR
from encouraging. The estimates are that
Il will not be a. large a. was the crop Of
last year. Secretary Hester makes the
visible supply on Sept. l Of THE year l.
727.eo0 bales. against s.70i.eoo bales last
year. II his figures are right. and there r.
no reason TO doubt them. and the esu-
mate for this years crop are approximate
~ correct there Is no reason why the
price OF cotton should not be better than
Il wss last season. II Is true the Chinese
trouble Is likely TO lessen considerably the
demand for cotton goods. but there Is ev-
cry reason 90 think that that trouble wild
be far on the way 20 settlement before
the cotton season has much more than
fairly begun.
