The complete report on the census will sup
ply an exact classification Of our population BY
nativity, as we'll as by age and race. In the
mean time it may be said that the census table,
show the actual number Of foreigners arrived
in the United States from 1890 TO 1850, pc.
riOd Of so years, to have been 2,75S, 900, ol
whom it is not at all likely that mCre than two
millions survived in June of the latter year.
Ia the two years that have since elapsed, about
7OO, 900 have arrived, so that of the whole pop
nlation, now amounting to 25 100000, not
more than 270O 900 are really Of foreign birth
About one half Of the entire immigration in.
to the United States for the last twenty years
has been Of the Irish people about one fourth
Germans, and the remaining quarter consists Of
persons belonging to nearly every nation on the
face Of the earth. 1t may be assumed, there.
fore, that we have 1850, 900 Irish, and 675,-
600 Germans among our population.
