The soldier was then on his way

there it was, just where Lincoln

TO MAKE MONEY^

The history of the world is that all men

A Nation’s Growth.
\\ !i*mi went bw« riiaif carelessly,
(wholly impat ienl ly, the questions
put to ih by the census takers,
very fe*v of us stop to realize that
our crumbs of inlormat ion, fre
; quently So grudgingly given, are
i in reality very important, parts of
an inconceivably great whole, j
j something that serves t he w hole
world in affording a general and
accurate know ledge concerning all i
l the facts conducted with the status t
of the nation.
Some idea as to just how stu¬
pendous are the facts gleaned by |
1 the census-takers may be acquired j
from certain figures given in a re- j
cent article in the Century, in i
; which special stress is laid on the ;
fact that the modern census sup¬
! plies the lamp to the feet that
Patrick Henry once described Ex- j
perience as being. We learn that |
since 1790 the area of the United i
States has increased from 827,844
to 8,622,933 square miles; the
number of counties has increased
from 807 to 2,867; and the total
population has increased from 3,
929,214 to 76.308,887, or nineteen
fold. There are four states each
possessing, in 1900, a population
greater than that of the entire na¬
tion in 1790, at which time two
of the four were ail untrodden
wilderness. The number of cities
with a population of 8,000 or over
lias increased from from 6 to 546
and tlie number with a population
of 25,000 or over from 2 to 171.
There are now 88 cities having
a population exceeding 100,000
and 3 of these have over 1,000
each. In 1900 the record of capi¬
tal, wages and value of products
of manufactures rises to tigures
almost beyond comprehension.
Tiie capital invested was $9,840,-
628,564; the salaries and wages
paid amounted to$18,039,279,566.
! In agriculture the tigures are al
j most equally impressive, The
j total value of farina in 1900 of agri¬ was
$16,674,590,247, and that
cultural products in 1899, $4,789,-
118,752.
Without the aid of the census,
we could realize this astonishing
growth in only the most superla¬
tive and unsatisfactory manner,
and just so surely as knowledge is
power, so surely is it imperative
that we should realize fully what
we have grown to be anil what i
may Im possible, in the light <•)
what has been done m the past,
to accomplish in the future.
