The Western Tilcr contains sensible and in
teresting paper on the population of the United
States, in reference to the approaching census OF
1880. The number of inhabitants in 1890 was
3,5l6,456, and calculating from the past ratio of
increase, it will be at the next census, 2, 520 500
giving an increase within those periods of s, GOA 044
From this estimate the following important facts are
deduced.


The population Of the U. States has, in forty years
been frebled


The States which at that time have received the
greatest accession of numbers are, N. York, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania.


That the middle and western non-slave holding
States, being, n. York, N. Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, have, in the same space
Of time, multiplied their people more than five fold,
and contain now more than half the white inhabitants
of the U. States.


That the southern slaue-holiing states, so called
Maryland, Virginia, N. Carolina, S Carolina, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana, have, in that per-
od, only doubled and from nearly half are reduced
to less than one-third of the whole population.
| That in reference to the most important points of
national policy, to protection of American industry
the centre of power has been entirely changed.
