You will gather therefrom, that 124 more of our population
died under 20 years, and conversely 124 less at after
ages. Such a result, therefore, invalidates greatly our apparent
advantage between 20 and 60 years. It follows, too,
that the "political value" of our living people is less. At
the Census, the life-differences stood thus:—
