The American census for 1896 has been completed, and the result published. The population of the United States, which was 9,637,000 in 1920, was last year, l2,976, ,000, or, in round numbers, thirteen millions. What aprodigy is the growth of this Republic! When the Revolution commenced, in l776 it had less than three. millions of inhabitants, and now 1t has thirteen. Then 1t was on level with Switzerland or Denmark in political con- sideration; now it is the second naval power in the world We roioice in it's progress, for it's strength and its glory be- long to the people, and 10 the cause of truth, justice and freedom all over the world. Ii is pleasant to observe that the States in which there arc slaves are advancing Sc inuci, moro rapidly than the others. The fact renders the evils of sa- very more palpable, and holds out the prospect of it's diminishing every year in relative importance. The population of Scotland and England, in IS1I, was 12, 1858 GOO. or 500 ,0oO less than the United States last year; and New York alone has very nearly as many inhabitants as Scotland had in IS2l.-Lontloa .Horning Chronieie.
