GROWTH IN POPULATION.
The Increase in Germany and the
United states About Equal.

nITeG states L bout Equal
The Census Office has received through
the Bureau of Foreign Commerce of the
State Department a report upon the re-
suits of the German census taken Deem
Der I. 1860 The population of Germany.
according to that census. was Il. 345. 9l4 a
figure which is said to place Germany in
population next after Russia and the
United States. This result is reached by
excluding from the comparison China,
and. in the case Of the British Empire and
Of France, the colonies or dependencies
Of those countries. Tire present popUla-
ton of Germany is a per cent of the pop
uiation OF the United States.
In Germany the Kingdom of Prussia
alone contains more than three-fifths OF
the population of the Empire. Germa-
ny has thirty-three cities of more than
10000 inhabitants. while the United
States has thirty-eIght. These thirty
three cities in Germany contain l62 per
cent OF the whole population. while in
the United States the Jhirty-eight cities
of over 10000 inha bitants contain 1876
per cent Of the whole population. The
proportion Of residents in large urban
centres. therefore. Is somewhat less in
Germany than il is in the United States
during the last ten years Germany in
creased II population Il per cent. or at
about tWO-thirds the rate in the United
states, where the increase was POS per
cent But, as the percels tage of increase
III Germany during the last five years
was much greater than at any previous
period since the formation of the En-
plre IN 1S1. and the percentage of in
crease IN the United States during the
last ten years was less than in any de-
cade since l4sv, II appears that the rates
of growth in the two countries are be-
coming more nearly equal.
