The flattering figures of the last United States census -furnish fruit ful field for forecast on tho part of thoughtful men. At a late So ciety"fiffiier""iti the East,-a number of suggestive-speeches were made in comment upon the great increase in our population, and our prob able future. Little that was said was outside the limits, of moderate and justifiable probability. The president of the feast said that there were young men present who would live to see the popula tion of the United States 150,000, 000, and New York tho commer cial center of the world. Likely enough, and yet, when that day does come, what wonderful forces shall have been at work to produce the change. The facts that our country "has a peace policy, that "her mission is one of civilization and not of subjugation; that, hap pily, on new shores the process of assimilation can go on; that air and soil and climate insure to ev ery immigrant it reminder of home and a guarantee of contentment; that there is room for all, and that the latent energy of the old world is manifested in the new, are among the many facts and causes that help to make up the gi eat re sult that will not round to comple tion till the causes that impel it shall have ceased to exist. In the course of his remarks at tho dinner wo speak of, the chairman touched upon another point that must tend to advance the standard of the In dividual intellect as" well as aug ment numbers in general. He said: "Still another lesson i3 that ofinternational fraternity. Nations fortify and sentinel their bounda ries, dwelling a'part; but the hu man racfi',isvono solid army, and human history is one steady march overall the continents, from cen tury to "century. Ihere are no aboriginal. Americans. Wc are all immigrants together. Even the red Indians "came here, as we did, from anothercontinenr. Amer ica is Europe over again, with many differences. Thorold media val civilization is hero granted an other probation. Problems there suggestive of dynamite arc here simply discussed. And long be fore the new continent is crowded we may hope for institutions of which no Christian philosopher will need to 'be ashamed. At Yorktown, the other day, it diil us no harm, and it gave us no offense to be reminded of our early indebt edness to France. Ireland is al most half here already, and Ger many is fast putting herself on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as on both sides of the Rhine." According to a recent authority the total area of settlement in this country in 1880, exclusive of Alaska, was 1,560,370 .square miles. Tho total population being 50, 155,783, tho average number of inhabitants, to the squaiemileof settled area was 32. These and other facts are furnished by a wri ter in the Hast number ot the In ternational Review. In tho first decade, that is from 17'JO to 1880, the increase of settled area was a little over 27 per cent. But this settlement had not then gone be yond the Alleghanics. In the de cade from 1810 to 1820 the gain was 25 per cent. In the next de cade it was only a fraction less. From 1830 to 1S40 the gain was 27 per cent, and from 1840 to 1850 it was 21 per cent. In the decade frotn 1850 to 18G0 200,000 Square miles were nominally added to the settled area of the country. -The nest decade was marked by the civil war, and there was only a small increase of the settled area. In the next dorado the former ratio of grain -was recovered. On the supposition that in the year WOO there will be a popula tion of 100,000,000 in the United States and Territories, something like one-half of this increase may be expected in the area between the -Missouri river and the Pacific Ocean. If population were to de :pend" upon natural increase this gain could not be realized. But there are two kinds of immigra tion which will contribute to this larger result. First, there is tho immigration constantly setting from tho Eastern to the "Western States. It is the same current which found its way to Ohio, Indi ana and Illinois, and later, to Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. Into this vast area, population is beginning to flow from tlicoldcr states, in a constantly widening current. Only a small proportion of foreign immigration is now arrested in the older states. Tho reason is that by far the greatest number of im migrants want cheap fand. Dur ing the next quarter of a century nearly all the cheap land will be west of tho Missouri river. The outlook for our own state, and tho. entire northwest is very promising. The kind of people that come to Oregon, "come to stay." They are in the main, pro ducers, and of a hearty, sturdy sort that build up a country and add every year to its material pros perity. Aerostatics. This is the ago of statistics. Tabulated information relative to land, . food, immigration, deaths, marnnges, taxes, tariff, and all the other ills of life aro in great vari ety, and now we are favored with somo breezy statistics relative to ,winu. J.ne ngnt ana airy aggre gate which is sanctioned by the sreat chief of the weather bureau, "Old Probabilities" himself, shows during the year ending Nov. 30th, 187-1, the quantity of wind meas ured in miles, that passed over the principal cities of the Union. Astoria is singularly left out, though, judging from the past few weeks, the total account to the credit side of the zephyr business would be something handsome. San Francisco has the meekest record in this respect, 31,890 lin eal miles of wind Iiaving swept through the Golden Gate in '74, while Milwaukee, one of the ze nith cities of the unsaltcd seas, Lstands atjtho top ot the heap, or list, with a credit of 00,482 miles of moving air during the same pe riod. makkiew.
