The natural increase to, that popula• tion would be at least 1.50 per cent, over the death rate for there seven years, say 10 per cent. The addition, then, to the population in 1881, would be 481,529, Now, according to the report of the Minister of Agriculture, I find that since 1881 no less than 719,510 immigrants came into this country, who stated their intention.of' remaining in Canada. Adding those three sums together, we would have the number 5,499,531 of a population at the present day, if we had not lost any. Subtract front that the present estimated population of Canada, 4,. 972,101, and,we have lost during the seven years, ,p27,230, or each year,. 75,321. Now, the loss each year dur- ing the reyime`of the .tteform Govern-. went was 22,000, as against 75,821, notwithstanding the policy which was to foster the interests of the agricul- turists and theeinterests of the Manu- facturers of this cquntry, and not only that, but it was to add to the popula- tion of this country largely by bringing in from foreign countries a large number of people, who were to make Canada their home, and find work in the manufacturing establishwc-uts of this €ountry,wbich were to be fostered by the National Policy, Accor o statements I have seen in Quebec (ooNCLvsION N ' WII 1t FOR SALE.
