Certain statistics which Sir Robert Gifen made use
Of in his address before the British Association
for the Advancement of Science have very important

the United States They prove certainty that there
is growing dependency throughout the greater part Of
the continent of this country and others Of large area
and comparatively sparse population for necessary food

equivalent to suicide
The years selected for a comparison are 1888 and
$685. the comparison is made in the value of mporta

Sir Robert Gifen reasons soundly upon the problem
