Some light may be thrown upon
the future OF the negro race In the
United States by figures contained in
the recent report of the census bu-
reau on growth of population from
1880 to 1900, The white population
of the United States increased from
3,172,t44 In 1890 to 6S,S09, 1876 In
1900, or 2,01i.6 per cent; the negro
population increased during the same
period from 757,37S to S,S33,94i, or
1868 per cent, In 1890 the white
population formed S0.7 per cent,
and the negro, both free and slave.
1873 per cent of the total population.
In 1900 however, the proportion
which the negro formed OF the total
population had declined to lie per
cent. On the basis of the proportions
shown IN 1890, 6l,500.000 whites
and nearly 100000 negroes In
other words the rate of reproduction
among negroes was just half that of
the whites during the century. What
