INCREASE DEPENDS
ON IMMIGRATION
Census Bureau Statistics Show
That Growth in Population
Is Not Native Born.

Washington Aug. 23.-Race suicide is the
dominant exhibit in the new census. In
former decades the average increase of
internal population was p per cent. 1t
has now fallen to six per cent. Census
officials in the contrast cause for
alarm in this country similar to that
which confronts France They say that
AT this rate OF decrease the native popu-
ation will show an actual falling Off be-
fore the time for taking another national
census
Such growth as the country has enjoyed
In the last 10 years has been largely from
immigration. according to these returns,

in this respect They bear In an import
ant way upon them. however. consider
ing that immigrants may be classed as
natives after 10 years and the general
tendency to apply to them beyond that
period as well as to those OF older resi-
dence
There was gross population in 1900 Of
100000. The present estimated total IL
100000. Out OF the 100000 increase o.
oO0.0oO came from immigration. This
makes 100000 as the natural increase
from those who were in the country In
1850
Increases of natives from 1870 until
1890 ranged from rs per cent. from 1850
TO 1890 to 90 per cent. from 1890 to 1900
The average increase exclusive OF i'm
migrants was p per cent, There were
100000 more Of American birth In 1910
than in 1900 against 100000 more In 1890
than In 1890
Another remarkable showing OF the
present census is the growth OF cities

of the smaller cities show increases
above 80 per cent. For example, Atlanta
shows To; East St. Louis, 81: Akron, c.
and Detroit 81.

Averages calculated from rural dis

crease of about u per cent With the
cities absorbing the immigrant popula-
ton and drawing also from the coun-
try, and with a rapid decline in internal
