The relative increase in population
is not as great as it was a century
or Two ago for obvious reasons. Ac.
corGius 10 records OF 1916 the eslimat.
ed population OF the United States in
iSi0 was 100000. Statisticiaas OF
that day figured that the population
would double every % years, but such
has MOI been The case. Had the in
crease fulflled that prediction the
country would have had population
OF 112,000.G0t ZEN years ago.
These pioneer sjatisticians Of 1916
estimated that i'll 1880 the country
should have population OF more than
90. 100000. The official census for that
wear, however. put the figures al 3d.
1878. The estimate for l9G"--11@.-
900. DOO-Has also far adeld. The Off
