CANADl'S FEEBLE GROWTH.

Canada's slow growth as brought
 conspicuously to light by the recent census there is simply surprising to
 most people. In ten years that country
 has increased only half a million, q showing which Is simply amazing when contrasted with the wonderful growth in population of the States of this great and ever glorious republic. Canada S present population is but 5,3SS, SS3, a total virtually the same as ours 100 years ago. Yet the Dominion practical ly shares with us much of the temper ate zone, is endowed with natural re- sources in many particulars no less generously than the United States, and in point of area has the advantage of nearly 150,O00 square miles But while in the last census period Canada was adding but a beggarly half million to its population we increased about 13,- 500,000, proportionate gain more than twice as large and an actual growth some twenty-six times as great.
 New York outranks Canada in point of population, as also does the Key Stone State while two others, Ohio and are but little behind. And the Dominion's greatest city, Montreal, with its 25OoOo inhabitants, Is surpassed as a population center by no fewer than fifteen American municipalities.
