There are no vital statistics collected for the Dominion ; it is therefore<br />
impossible to say what is the rate of natural increase of the population.<br />
The death rate per 1,000 was as follows in 1891 in the towns named :—<br />
Montreal, 28-11'; Toronto, 15-61; Quebec, 41-11; Hamilton, 16-23;<br />
Halifax, 20-51 ; Ottawa, 21 -35 ; St. John, N.B., 19-75 ; Winnipeg, 14-66 ;<br />
Victoria, B.C., 19'35.<br />
As it has been found impossible to collect trustworthy figures, no returns<br />
concerning emigration and immigration are now published. A tax of 50<br />
dollars a head is levied on all Chinamen landing at Vancouver, but the number<br />
of Chinese immigrants is largely on the increase.<br />
Religion.<br />
There is no State Church in the whole of British North America. The<br />
Church of England is governed by twenty bishops, with about 1,000 clergy ;<br />
the Roman Catholic Church by one cardinal, seven archbishops, twenty-three<br />
bishops, and about 1,500 clergy ; and the Presbyterian Church in Canada,<br />
with about 1,000 ministers—formed in 1875 by the union of two formerly distinct<br />
bodies—by presbyteries, synods, and an annual assembly as in the Scotch<br />
Church, with 2,358 churches and stations. The Methodists have 1,700 and<br />
the Baptists about 500 ministers. All these bodies have one or more divinity<br />
schools. The number of members of each religious creed in the Dominion was<br />
as follows at the census of April 6, 1891 :—<br />
Roman Catholics .<br />
Presbyterians<br />
Anglicans<br />
