Population.

1T is to be borne in mind that an
average increase of Is per cent per
decade probably will not continue
during the next 100 years" said Mr.
Merriam. mo other great country
maintains such rate OF increase and
there is no sound reason why the
United States should be able to do So
Our rate of increase in the last two
decades has fallen from 80 per cent to
2j and then from % to 81. In tins
as in other respects. we rapidly are
approaching the conditions in Europe,
and our rate of growth must approx
mate that on the mother continent.
The great mass of population a
century hence probably will be found,
as it is now, east of the Tooth merid.
ian, with a fringe of thickly settled
country along the Pacific coast
Within this territory those regions
lying near the coal fields or around
valuable water power are likely to
show the most steady and rapid
growth, unless the conditions change
widely. 1t is doubtful whether the
enormous increase of cities in compar.
ison with rural population will be
maintained. During the last ten
years the large cities as a whole have
not added as many people to Their
numbers as in the ten years before
while in the country outside the
growth of population has been greater
in numbers, though not in rate. As
the means of communication improve
and it becomes possible to distribute
power economically we may hope fol
n gradual equalization between city
and country conditions and rate o
growth.
