$3.50 natives Of the country from visits abroad
deduction Of l06s79 10 made from the balance for that
portion Of the year from June 10 September 80.
Within the last ten years there has probably
been very little migration of foreigners into the
United States over the Canada frontiers the dispo-
sition to take the route by Quebec having yielded
to the increased facilities for direct passenger trans
portaion to the cities Of the Unon what there has
been may, perhaps, be considered as eQualled by
the number of foreigners passing into Canada,
after landing at New York, many having been
drawn thither by the opportunities of employment
afforded by the public work Of the province. AS
the heaviest portion Of this great influx Of imuigra.
ten took place in the latter half Of the decade it
will probably be fair TO estimate the natural in
crease during the term, at II per cent being about
onethird Of that of the white population of the
country at its commencement This will swell the
aggregate to ,739, 1872. Deducting this accession
to the population from the whole amount of the
increase Of white inhabitants before given that in
crease lie shown to be 1864 SIG, and the rate per
cent Is reduced 10 25 95.
