While the growth of corporations
and trusts is being freely discussed, it
is in place to point out that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor has also
grown at a surprising rate during the
last three years. While capital has
been concentrating its power, labor
has been doing the same. This means
that labor is amply protected and is
fourishing under this republican ad-
ministration. Founded in 1856, the
American Federation of Labor has con
Quoted its business publicly, with dig
nifty and with success. To-day it EN-
ploys ~ paid organizers, besides 470

Nearly every national or interna-

increasing its membership, and the
past three years have been those OF
greatest success for the consolidation
of labor interests.
Records and reports of the American

last democratic administration of Pres

According to a statement made by

How We Have Grown in . Gem


tury.
The actual increase of population in
the ten years is about l3.225,0Oo. The
rate of increase in the period from 1880
to 1890 averaged about 2i per cent. each
year. The rate for the past ten years
has been about Q l. per cent. annually.
This dilninution in the rate is. in con-
siderable part, due to the diminished
volume of immigration. The individ-
ual effectiveness of the American popu-
lation Is so high that, in respect to mate
rial resources and power, II will be con-
ceded by every one that the United
States is well in the forefront OF the
nations. The structure of the British
empire is such that, in comparison OF
population, commerce, and other statis-
tical data, there is no more reason FOR
adding Australia to England than Tor
adding Mexico to the United States.
Our population at the beginning OF the
nineteenth century was, in round figures.
1 800, GOO white people. and 1,oGoO00 me-
