FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
The important question Of foreign immigration 10
brought before Congress in a memorial Of B. A.
Froiseth, who suggests that since the great mux Of
foreigners in 1876, European capitalists interested in
other Countries, as Australia, Central and South
America, Mexico, the South and North Pacific Ter
rtoies and British America, have resorted to every
means and all inducements to divert emigration to
those countries, BY establishing lines Of ships and
low rates of transportation, and giving free grants Of
lands, etc. lie refers to the building Of the Pacific
TO the supply Of agricultural labor 10 the
West, the development Of our national resources,
and estimates the value Of such immigration as equal
to the mineral resources of the gold regions For
these reasons attention is called to legislation for the
protection and direction of such immigration. The
importance Of disseminating correct information Of
the sos. the resources productions, climate, etc., Of
this country, among the people of Europe by some
systematic means, is also urged.
