NAL HUs|AN|sM IN FRANCE
Popula alton Remains Stationary but
Wealth Increases and Is More
Equally Distributed Than
in Any Other Nation.

| Paris, Aug. 16.-That race suicide
Ipays big dividends in human happiness
and material prosperity is capable OF
abundant proof, according to the Off
Gals and leaders of the Malthusian
Society of France, which met in an
nual convention in Paris today.
France, with the lowest birth rate of
any civilized nation, is now and has
been for years, it is asserted, the rich
est country of the world in proportion
to population.
Some interesting statistics are pro-
vided by Edmond Thery, the noted
political economist, on this subject. In
1S4S the total of the combined private
fortunes of France was $12,S00,000,000
Now it is $57,456, 100000, and the gain
in wealth has been far ahead of the
increase in population. If the private
wealth of the republic were distributed
each of the 99,27S,O00 inhabitants,
men, women and children. would have
$1462 worth of property. Counting
four to a family, this would give each
French family fortune of $5S4S. No
other nation can approach these fig
ures, nor is there any other country
in which wealth is as evenly divided
as in France. Swollen fortunes are
few in the French republic, and eX-
IRENE poverty prevails to lesser eX-
tent than in any other land. The dis
ciples of Nautilus attribute all this to
the limitation of population Urged by
the great English economist.
Until recently race suicide was con-
fined principally to the middle classes,
but within the last decade the work
ingmen have become converted to the
doctrine. and, unlike the proletariat OF
other countries, as rule have only |
from one to three children In the last |
sixteen years the national wealth OF |
France has increased at the rate o. |
1854 100000 yearly When it is consid- |
cred that the population remains al
most stationary, and that this wealth |
loes not go into the Golfers of few,
rs in America, but is pretty equally
distributed, the material advantages of
'ace suicide may be realized.
While the birth rate has rapidly de-
creased during the last decade, gov
statistics prove that the rate
