From the St. Louis Republic: While there are 125,000,000 people at the present time whose evèryday language is English, there are only 90,000,000 who speak Russian, 75,000,000 who speak Germán, 55,000,000 who speak French, 45,000,000 who speak Spanish and 35,000,000 who speak Italian. This marvelous growth of the English tongue is directly due to the rapid development of the United States, aided, of course, by the Anglo-Saxon's natural colonizing spirit. In this country there are less than 80,000,000 people, and greatly less than that number in the whole of the United Kingdom. This estímate indicates the spread of the language into all parts of the world.
