At the end of the century the position
Of tho Notwithstanding, Or so-called
Anglo-Saxon divisions of the white
population Of the globe, is SO COM
manding that it easily leads to extrava.
giant notions concerning the numerical
strength of that great part OF the
human family. The world knows that
increased with remarkable rapidly,
and it is also we'll understood that the
British colonies in Australia and
Canada have grown fast. The stretch
ing out of the boundaries of the British
Empire has oeen so constant and inn
posing that it has naturally led to in
fiated ideas of the white population Of
the Queens dominions., 2
The census taking of this year and
the next will show that the total Eng
lish speaking, or Anglo Saxon, popula
tion of the world is not more than
1875. 900, 900, even including the Irish
| Celts, the French in Canada, and the
great body of colored population in
the United States as ''Anglo- Saxons. y
| The American republic may furnish
| rs, 900, 600 of the total. The British
Isles have about 40, 600, 900. In Canada
and Australia the population Is Just
about 10, 200, 900. The number of Anglo
| Suxons 10 other parts of the British
| Empire is not over 100000. ~ -
Against these figures there must be
placed fully 1876, 600, 900 people who may
as fairly be called Latins as the whites
of the British Empire and the inhabit-
| ants of the United States. taking all
colors together, can be deemed Anglo
Saxops. France has about 80, 600, 600
people, Italy about $4,000, 600, and
Spain and Portugal not less than
10000, 900. In Belgium there are
6.00O, 900 so-called ''Latins, land Rou-
mania and part of Switzerland contain
probably 5000, 900 more. To this total
of lob, 600, 600 in Europe must be added
a white or mixed population of at least
32, 900, 900 or 80, 600, 900 in Mexico, Gem
trail America and South America. This
estimate throws out large share Of
the people of those regions as Indian:
. The Germanic population Of the
kinsnion in Germany, Autria, Hungary
and Switzerland is about 1900, 900 or
| rs, 900, 600. The great body of German
| Americans cannot be included, because
they now belong to the English speak
| ing division of the civilized world. So
the Germans are fewer, by wide mar
| gin, than either the so-called "Anelu-
| Saxons" or the Latins, but they are a
very compact and powerful body, hav-
| ing few deep cleavages of nationality or
habits to separate them.
The Slavs are the most numerous Of
| all the divisions of the white popula-
tion of the world. They number not
less than 1l5, 600, 900 in the Russian
Empire alone, and there are more than
| 90, 600, 900 of them in A ustria- Hungary,
with from 5000, 600 to 10, 600, 600 in the
Balkan states and the Turkish Empire.
There are probably 145, 900, 900 SlaVs in
countries where they have not been
merged in any other part of the popu-
lation. The number cannot be less than
\ lao, 600, 600. They are increasing faster
than the Latins, the Germans, or even
all OF the English speaking nations
taken together.
I 1t will readily be seen that the dream
of the domination of the world by any
one great division of the Aryan race is
moonshine. Conditions which cannot
be changed for centuries, make it silly
to talk Of any such concentration of
power.
