Our Population a Century Hence.

Robert p. Porter, an ex-director of
the census and statistcian of con-
coded skill and cleverness. ventures
the prediction that the population of
this country, when the next century
dawns, will be at least SOC. 000, 900. He
gets at this result by judging the
future by the past, but he guardedly
qualities his prophecy by adding mo
one can prophesy this with any hope
that it will be approximately correct"
There We're unexpected conditions
affecting the ratio which arose in the
10Th century and others. equally I'M
foreseen. may arise during the 10th
century to upset any mathematical
calculation that can now be made. 1t
of 300,000,000 in our country. The fig
ures are vast and we have to go to
China to find such another host in
single nation. But the comparison
ends here, for it is not possible to con-
ceive that the increased population
Will lead to any such conditions as
prevail in the great Asiatic empire.
Mr.. Porters estimate puts our popu-
lation in 1000 at four times that of
1900. Others will differ with him, and
we presume most of them will hold
that his figures are too large. But,
taking his estimate as being as valu-
able as any and better than most that
can be made, century in advance,
have we to fear any danger of crowd
ing with a population of 800 OG0, 900
the increased demand? Such ques-
tons need not worry us; those dangers
are the least of our apprchensions for
the future. our population is now
only 20 to the square mile; with this
population Guadrupled it would still
be less than in some of the more pros
porous countries of Europe, where the
people, while less prosperous than in
America. are much more prosperous
than when their ratio was much
smaller.
We have vast uncultivated and un-
dc .eloped areas. There are unlimited
possibilities in the retaining of our
arid lands and one of the best features
of the gold discoveries in Alaska is the
demonstration Of great agricultural
possibilities in that region. This coun-
try has as yet hardly begun to develop
its agricultural resources. The
limit of the population which this
country can feed well and house we'll
and clothe Well may be reached
some day, but it will not be in this
century. or the next. or the next, or the
next. We may rest assured that our
civilization will provide for itself as it
advances.
