NATIONAL

Mr.. Merriam, Director Of the Census Of 1900, sub
mits in a current magazine an interesting digest ct
the chief features Of American development, pre-
senting his own deductions on national tendencies.
The census compilations embrace a mass of Stats
tics relating to numerous subjects, and il would he
impossible to review them all in brief; therefore. he
has selected what he considers the most important
indications.
The statistics that Mr.. Merriam classes as pri-
mary concern the population, the composition Of the
population. the urban ana rural population. the ne
gro element. illiteracy, the growth of trusts. the OK
pansion in export trade, the ascenlcncy Of cities.
agriculture and manufactures. All Of these factors
in life are undoubtedly vital to growth and progress,
and they denote fairly well the general traits and in
clinations of the nation.
Some call attention to social complications. which
have pronounced bearing on the affairs Of large see
tions of the country; others disclose the distinct
forces in the population and consequently character
iZe the nation as such; others. like the drift of pop
ulation and the development of agriculture and man
ufactures. give a rather accurate idea of what the
nation is, what it does. what its resources and ca
pacity are. what its particular tendencies seem to be.
The population of the United States proper is
73.994,515 of the United States, Alaska and Hawaii,
5000. 3s7; of the United States. Alaska, Hawaii. the
Philippine Islands. Porto Rico, Guam and Samoa.

try Proper, Increased 1906 SCI in the decade ending
in 1900, or u per cent. These few figures contain
their lesson. Each person may derive different con
illusions; but the dangers of Imperialism must b.
manifest therefrom for all who feel alarm over ag-
grandizement. which brings new disturbances.
There is much more satisfaction for the average
American who prefers the United States to the
United States Empire, in looking over the statistics
of the continent itself and drawing differences from
them as to The countryis future. He finds that the
percentage of increase advanced between 1850 and
1870 from % 10 - per cent. and between 1890 and
1890 ii advanced only 10 33 per cent. showing that
the movement toward the cities has diminished. He
finds that ilIiteracy has scarcely varied between
1850 and 1900.
He finds that. though The urban population is 4
great and large clement, the distinctly rural popula-
ton. excluding figures that might justly he classified
as rural. is equivalent 10 nearly - per cent of the
total population. There is no doubt. however. that
the rural influence is even greater than this. for
smaller towns. which are essentially rural, might be
included with the country statistics.
1T is Il remarkable fact" states Mr.. Merriam,
brought out by census statistics, that the develop

are needing with 4 vengeance. \ recent harvest cxcur-
sion to the Canadian Northwest was made up Of so
young men from Prince Edward Island and 100 from
the eastern section of Nova Scotia. one of the local
Nova Scotia newspapers says: This is certainly an
enormous drain on our country, and the chances are that
it will be an annual drain. OF the 1850 who went. at the
outside not more than 80 will return. The others will
probably remain to build up the West at the expense of
the East. The young men who went are the pick of the
country; the best blood and sinew in II. and they did
not belong TO the idle class. They went West to spy
out this much-talked-Of land and to select homes. 1t is
indeed unfortunate If the home land is TO be robbed this
way every year. And have we not right here the best
country under the sun? But it is the old story Of the
human foot and its westward rowing" And now, as
ever. westward the course of empire takes its way.
