Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Canadian Monthly and National Review, Vol. 5: January to June The Census Reports of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Dominion of Canada, taken in conjunction with the blue books annually published, show in a striking manner the vast strides that have been made in population, wealth and material resources by the English-speaking portion of the globe, and more especially by the three great divisions of it to which in this paper we intend chiefly to confine our attention. Within the last decade - or, more strictly speaking, from 1861 to 1871 Great Britain, notwithstanding the vast drain upon it from emigration, (amounting, according to the Registrar-General of England, to 2,220,005) added to its population 2,556,058 souls, or in round numbers an increase of nine percent. Within the same period the United States has increased from 31,000,000 to 38,000,000; more than half of that increase being beyond all doubt due to immigration. In 1861, the population of what is now the Dominion of Canada, exclusive of Prince Edward Island, was 3,090,561, which in 1871 was found to have increased to 3,485,761. The growth has not been so great 1 as was generally expected, being equal to only 12.21 per cent., or about 1.22 per cent. per annum. This result proves that from Canada, as well as from Great Britain, a considerable stream of emigration has for some years been steadily flowing in the direction of the United States. The strength as well as the volume of the current has, however, been evidently checked, and there is at present a fair prospect that the Dominion will henceforth be able, not only to keep the bulk of its people within its own limits, but to attract a considerable share of the emigration from the Mother Country. The first volume of the first Census Report of the Dominion of Canada informs us that the four provinces of which it consisted in 1871 embrace an area of 215, 892,020 acres.
