vermont's Population Analysed.

Although Vermont is generally reckon
ed as one of those states which feel
least the flood of immigration into the
United States, the fact remains, as we
learn by statistics of the census bureau,
that immigration was largely responsible
for the meager increase in the states
population during the last census period
The report mentioned asserts that the
foreign born population increased from
1900 to 1910 by ll,6 per cent, as against
81 per cent increase of native born
whites and the actual figures of increase
We're nearly as large in the case of the
former as the latter. Considering the en-
tire population increase of 1876 during
the ten years and leaving out of that
reckoning for the time being the gain
in negro population, we find that immi-
grafton, probably, brought b,l61 people
into the state, which is entirely possible
in view of the development or the
quarrying industry, while the native
born white population made actual gain
Of 1858 persons. Moreover, as is usually
the case with states which have received
considerable impetus to population by
immigratio we find that the rate OF
increase in native born persons OF foreign
parents was about double the increase OF
native born persons OF native parents
But the most striking feature about
the census bureaus report on Vermont
is the percentage OF gam III HesTo Popu-
lation which almost doubled during the
time from 1900 to 1910 If the conditions
were known 1t would probably be found
that most of this gain OF s6,2 per cent
was made during the last few years of
this period and this in turn would be
accounted for by the placing of a colored
garrison in Fort Ethan Allen, accom-
panied by the usual retinue of followers
| of the same race. Colored troops at the
| military reservation near Winooski have
| been the cause OF the gain In negro popu-
lation from S26 in the year 1900 to 1921
| ten years later
However great the rate OF increase may
| have been in negro population. that race
remains an infinitestimal part OF the en-
| tire people of Vermont, being only half or
one per cent. whereas, the foreign born
whites are II per cent of the whole, leav-
ing S5.5 per cent as the proportion of the
! native-born whites-[Barre Times.
