Fifth from the foot in area. Massachusetts is third from the top in wealth. * * * * * * soy* Our Massachusetts census. just taken. tells a wonderful story. Immigration does not swarm to hopeless fields. In the decade between 1895 and 1905 Massachusetts added over half a million to her poplation. It is extraordinary that this great increase. which is. witin less than fifty thousand. the same increase that was ssown between 1885 and 1895. should have been possible in what was and is. with one exception. the most densely populated State In the Union. It is more extraordinary that this half million of increase. largely immigrants. should be not merely vast in proportion to area. but. with four exceptions only. larger in actual numbers than the Increase shown by any other State or Territory in the whole United States. The annual value of tIme manufactured products of Massachusetts increased by but $175.173.033 between 1885 and 1895. It increased by $300.267.558 between 1895 and 1905.
