Washington, Sept. 4.-The census but
reau to-day issued a statement show
ing the increasing age of the pcpula-
ton from decade to decade. The state
ment gives the results of computing
the median instead of the average age.
The median is such an age that ;alf
the population is under it and half is
over it.
The median age of the total popuIa-
ton in 1900 was 1913 as compared with
q 8 in 1890 The median age Of he
white population in the, last census
year was 234 and the colored. includ-
ing negroes, Indians and Mongolians,
was 1871 while in 1890, the white pop
ulation was % 4 and the colored 1875.
The report shows there was an In
crease in the median age of the white
population during each decade from
1910 to 1900, amounting in the ninety
years. to IA years, or an average
amount of about five-sixths of a year
in a decade. The median age of the
colored population increased after 1880,
but with les regularity.

THE LEASE ON LIFE
OF AMERICANS
Census Bureau Presents Figures Showing
Changes by Decades.

The median age of the colored pop
ulation increased three years in the
seventy-year period from 1880 to 1900,
or only about half as fast as that of
the whites. But during the last twen-
ty years of the century the increase
for the two groups has been substan-
TALLY the same, 19 years for the col
ored, and 81 years for the white. The
statement concludes as follows:
Many complex influences have CO.
operated in producing as a resultant
this steady change in the age compost
ton of the population. Three may
be mentioned--the rapid progress of
medical and sanitary science, which
has tended to increase the average
length of life; the decrease in the rela-
tive number of children born, which
has made the earlier age periods less
preponderant numerically in the total
population. and the influx, especially
since 1910, of great numbers of adult
Immigrants, increasing the number in
the older age periods.
THE difference between the white
and colored populations is doubtless
due to the fact that these infiuenc IS
have wrought more powerfully upon
the white race than upon the colored."

pean consumers have been long accus-
toned to pay what seem to us high
prices. The best American fruit is up
to the highest standard in all respects
except the methods by which it is put
up and handled. and these have been
in many cases so rude and careless
that losses have occurred on some
shipments of apples, which have made
importers somewhat afraid of them
On arrival in this country, they have
to compete in the markets and fruit
stores with French, Italian, and Tyrol-
csc apples, which have been carefully
picked by hand, wiped with dry cloths,
each apple wrapped in soft, porous pa
per, and snugly laid layerwise in casks
lined with paper and having openings
cut in their ends and heads to secure
adequate ventilation. Such packing
will increase the ordinary cost of the
fruit. but need be no obstacle. The
question is not SO much one of price
as quality and condition, and Euro
pean methods of packing are neces-
sary in order to give the American
apple fair chance in the German
market. :"

WILL PROTECT TRUSTS.
That Is the Inference Drawn from
Platt's Declaration.

Platt's Declaration.
Washington, Sept. 4.-Senator Tom
Platt's emphatic declaration that the
not indorse President Roosevelt for re-
nomination is causing a great deal of
comment here. 1t has carried joy into
the camp of the Democratic Congress
sionai Campaign Committee, for it is
equivalent to a declaration that the
leaders of the Republican party are not
with President Roosevelt on the trust
question, and that they are ready to
throw him over rather than allow any
harm to come to the trusts. 1t gives
another proof of the contention of the
Democratic leaders that the ReDubIi-
can party, as a whole, is in league with
the trusts, and that it's policies are
dictated and it's leaders chosen by
Wall street.
Senator Platt's declaration. when it
is followed up and made good by the
convention, which he will rule with a
rod of iron, will go far toward still
more clearly making the line between
the Roosevelt Republicans and the
anti-Roosevelt Republicans. The fight
over Cuban reciprocity brought about
the first clear division in the party on
these lines, and now the trust issue
bids fair to widen the breech past all
possibility of healing.
There is no doubt that the President
has the great mass of his party with
him. He has them with him on the
Cuban question and on the trust ques-
ton, but he is widely separated from
many of the leaders on both questions.
The men who control committees and
organize campaigns, the men who col
lect campaign funds and realize the
Importance of not offending the great
moneyed interests of the country are
all dismayed at his plain talk about
trusts 1t is these men who are repre-
scented by Senator Platt and whose
will the New York Republican Con-
Vention will execute when 1t refuses to
indorse the Republican President,
In this connection an interesting
story has reached Washington through
the channel of a Washington financial
house, with Wall street connections. 1t
is to the effect that the big men Of
the street want to see the Republicans
defeated this fall and a Democratic
House of Representatives elected.
The argument which the trust mag
mates are making is that it will be
comparatively easy to prevent any an
ti-trust legislation during the short
session of Congress next winter, and
that if the present Congress should be
followed by one in which the Senate
is controlled by the Republicans and
the House of Representatives by the
Democrats, they will be absolutely safe
from molestation. They figure that
the Republican Senate would insist
that the only way to reach the trusts
is by means of a constitutional amend
ment. and that the Democratic House
of Representatives. controlled by
states rights theories would never con-
sent to the adoption of this method,
and thus they would go free and es-
cape any adverse legislation.
