EMTGRArIoN.-The tide of emigration setting into
this country from all parts of the world is calculated
TO benefit both the country and the emigrant if con-
Quoted upon right principles. But under the present
system pursued by the majority of those who emf.
CRATE from Great Britain to the United States, is
calculated to impoverish both parties, because the
seaport towns, where the supply of labor trebles
the demand and will not go back into the country
where laborers are really wanted, and where lv-
ing is cheap, and the field open for enterprise and
industry.
We ind, In looking over recent Parliamentary
report that the number of persons who left the port
OF London during the year ending on the 9th of
January, 1912, was l3, 500 of whom 1924 went to
Nattr > ,l,a 81
the Australian colonies, 1859 to the West Indies,
and 1872 to the North American colonies. From
Liverpool, 5,7ls went to the United States, 4,25O
toythe North American colonies, 1872 to the Aus
tralan colonies, and 263 to New Zealand. From
Plymouth, Glasgow, Inverness, Stornoway Belfast,
Cork, Dublin, &c, large number emgrated,
chiefly to Canada. The result is, that there left
England Y, lO4, Scotland l4O6O and Ireland 30, 42S
persons, or in all, 1852 persons, of whom 1907
proceeded to the United States, 46 to Texas, LOG to
Central America 80, l64 to British North America,
2, 100 to the West Indes u to the Falkland Islands,
Is to Western Africa, 1868 to the Cape of Good
Hope, 40 to the Mauritius 4 to Moumem, IS 724 to
Australia, and 1901 to New Zealand.
In addition to this we find that during the last
twelve years, 32l,sO7 persons have emigraed to
ports Of the United States and 347 632 to ports of
Canada; being average in the instance of
26sOOper annum, and in the other of q, 100
The following extract from the same report is use-
full, it shows how it is that so many emgrants
are landed on our shores without the means to
transport themselves to the interior of the country
where they could obtain work
"The number of emigrants who have received paro
chal aid assistance from their landlords emgrate
this considerably exceeds that of S40 and
to 2l24 Of whom from England there sO7 Ireland
$40; and from Scotland III Those from England with
the exception of ITO Irish emgrans from Liverpool aided
by the Earl of Fitzwillam from his estate in Wicklow
sent out chiefly under the sanction of the Poor
Commissioners and were (as well those WHO have
igraed during these several years past under the
thory) well and amply provided for"
Now, if these people knew, or if those who sent
themknew that the price of passage from this cityto
Detroit, In the cheap lines is only So 80, and about
as much morefor food, they surely will take means
to prevent them from laying idle and starving about
our streets for months for want of work. Neither
should we see so many disappointed wretches re-
turning to England by almost every packet. Go to
the West.
