Ten years later. in 1900. we had 76.000.000 people. an increase of 14.000.000 people in one decade. Now. in the next period. the next decade. six years hence. how many.people will we have? We will naturally have increased 18.000.000 more. and with the immigration that is coming in we will have 20.000.000 or 24.000.000 people. If we have 24.000.000 people more under the census of this country in 1910. there will be 100.000.000 people in this great nation. and that only a few years awayl Think of an increase of 24.000.000 peoplemore than three times what there is in the present city and State of New Yorkand then try to appreciate what we are coming to. You put that enormous multitude down in one place and radiate all the mileage of all the railroads you have in the country from that point with all its equipment. and you could not carry them off fast enough but what a large proportion would starve to death before you could take them to where there was food. if they did not have any to begin with.
