How many persons were tfcere la
Cncle Sam's big family on June 11 li
this oble American fcire is not quit
like the fabitd dame of Mother Goose,
who had "so many children she didn't
know what to do," he has to many
that he isn't sure but once in ton years
wh'U the total uuir.htr of his offspring'
it 5ays the New iork Herald.
Measured by the per cent, of gain,
i 'tween the censuses of ISSOand JSUO,
ich was 24.6, the population of tht?
. :utl States to be disclosed by the
national roll call, just completed,
should reach a total of T7,S3-.'!.00O. Asa
matter of fact, it does not seem likely
that the total will exceed TG.OoCf.tlOO,
and probably will not reach that figure.
Several noteworthy factors have
been at work to t.'fict this, to many,
surprising result. Immigration has
fallen oil' to a remarkable degree. In
the ten years ending June 30, li'iO,
4,K4y,0(Mi persuns entered this country
from foreign lands. In the decade
closing wijli June 30 of this year al
most a million less will have soupiit an
asylum on America's shores. Thee
. figures omit the immigrants from Can
ada and Mexico.
The reason for this marked decrease
in immigration lies very plainly in the
Jiard times period of A small
flood of C2.'i,()34 persons entered the
United States in the fiscal year cf 1S'J2.
Two years later the total was barely
half as great, and so far spread was
the news of our business and financial
distress ;hat in ls'jH,tlie immigrants
were only 22J,2J'J, the smallest number
since 1ST9. An increased total last year
has been followed by a greater one this
year, so that the coming Jecadc will
probably see a return to the huge im
migration figures of the early M!s.
Coincident with the decline in im
migration, due to the business crisis,
must be reckoned a decline in the nat
ural growth in population. Adverse
financial conditions operate not only
to increase the death rate, but also to
decrease the birth rate. Aside from
this it is a notable fact that the per
cent, of natural growth of population
lias been constantly and rapidly de
creasing in this country for a whole
century. If we correct the admitted
errors in the census tables of 1870, it
will lx found that the ratio of increase,
of population by natural growth in
each decade has steadily dropped from
35.C in the I1-10 period, to 14.1 in the
1881-00 period. In other words, then,
was born to the average community of .
3,000 inhabitants between 1S01 and JS10
350 children, while to a similar com
munity between 18S1 and ISM there
were born only 141 children.
To give a keen point to this plain
truth that the nation is slowing up, so
to speak, in its natural growth, the in
teresting state censuses of 1895 are of
decided value, Xine states counted
lieads in that year. Two in Xew Eng
land, Massachusetts and Rhode Island ;
one middle tate, New Jersey; one
touthern state, Florida; four middle
western states, Iowa, Kansas, Minne
sota and South Dakota, and one far
western state, Utah. Of this typical
group, representing all sections of the
country, only one showed an increaw
in per cent, of population equal to the
to be expected half of the increase of
the previous decade.
The sole exception was New Jersey,
which grew 27.7 percent, between
and 1890, and 15.7 per cent, between
1890 and 1895. Two causes may explain
this increased ratio of growth irox
imity to New York city, which, with
its ever gathering density of popula
tion, forces more and more families to
fly to the less crowded and less expen
sive suburbs, and proximity to the
main pert of entry of immigrants, who
would naturally, in hard times, be loth
to pend their savings in taking a long
trip into the west.
How much influence this latfe.r con
sideration had is potently illustrated
by the figures of some of the western
states' censuses. Thus, Minnesota,
which grew more than CO percent, be
tween 18S0 and 1690, pained biitZl per
cent, in the five years following. Kan
sas, which added 43.2 per cent, to her
population between IShO and 190, ac
tually lost 6.4 per cent between ls90
and 1895. In both these eases probably
the lack of new settlers from foreign
land was not more marked- than the
slackening of immigration from other
tates.
Now some one will ask in view of the
sharp decrease in immigration and the
probable decrease in natural growth.
What is the population of the Tinted
States to-day? With all due hfcrenei
given to the many point involved, it,
may be fairly estimated that there are
between 75,000,000 and 77.0Cfl.00O- in
habitants in this country. The exact
number is nearer the smaller than the
larger figure
Tarantulas Bite Trainmen.
Scorpions and tarantulas have made
their appearance in such numbers at
Iguala andi other points on the Mexico,
Cuernavaca fc Pacific railroad ns: to
interfere with thu operation of that
line and the transaction of other busi
ness. So many of the trainmen have
been bitten by the poisonous insects
that the running of trains is delayed.
At Iguala a bounty has been offered by
the municipal authorities for the kill
ing of the pests, and mndreds of men
and boys are emplojeti in slaughtering
them, Chicago Uw3.
