issued by the census bureau giving the
population, in their order OF l59 cities
in the United States, or those over $4,000
in population, s most significant, in
that ii is forecast of the final count on
the total population OF the country.
From this standpoint, experts argue to-
day that the United States assuredly
will be shown to have $4,000, 900 people.
These l59 cities now have 1s,694,625s
people as compared with population
os IA, s55,2S9 ten years ago. This is an
increase in the last decade OF 4,S39,1 1876. or
81, i26 less than the increase from 1880
TO 1890, when it was 4.921 .562. The per-
eentage of increase in these cities in the
two decades as demonstrated by the last
TWO censuses is as follows:
Increase from 1890 to 1900 i. !. ....32.5
Increase from 1850 to 1890 $50. !. ABS
If the increase of 80 per cent were up
held in the towns and villages, not to

S0.o00,000, but there is no expectation
ithat such percentage can be main

cent. 1t is almost g assured that the re-
turns from the districts not yet am
lnounced by the director of the census
Will not lower the percentage reached in
the l59 cities above accounted for to-
that figure Experts hold that the per-
