Eloquent Figures.

The growth Of the United States
in the century from 1900 to 1900 is
simply marvellous. The increase Of
contiguous territory has been from
S17,S44 to g, 600 square miles.
The population has increased from
5,soS,4S3 to 76,5o3,SS7. There
were 9oS postofices in 1890. and
% ,6SS in 1900. The postal income
was SlSo,So4 in 1900. and in 1900
1t was SIoa, s54.579. AT the be-
ginning of the century there were
less than 900 newspapers and in
1900 there were ao,So5. There
was not a railroad in the country in
1890, and in 1890 there was only e
miles, but in 1900 there were 1871
gar miles in active operation.
The product of cotton amounted
to only r55,556 bales 100 years ago
but in 1900 the country produced
o,436.516 bales. The product of
pig iron was then hardly worth max
ing a note of, but in 1900 the pro-
duct amounted to I3,796,a 4s tons.
Ninety years ago the entire product
of gold amounted to only S2,465,
but in 1900 over S79,ooo.o 900 worth
OF the precious metal was produced.
Then the product of wheat and corr
was OF small account, now wheat is
52z ,ss5,5o5 bushels and corn -
