1t may be admitted with regard to Bremen, from
which during the period Of 1895 to 1853 there were
Southern emlgrants, though its large figure in 1897
Is due to 10 2oS Ausran who left In Consequence Of
twice as many NortSerners as southerners While s
above table Of Hamburg emigrants proves that for
the last thirteen years only one southerner left to

We have YET 70 state, based upon an insight into
inc books OF severn forwarding agents here, that
grants passing Through hare are supplied with
PASSAGE cRRTIPICA TTS,

Der Of these passage certificates" formerly but sel
dom made use OF, II constantly increasing and our
nforIrants assure Us that not unfrequenuy money Is
paid In for them by parties across who have not
been over nine months In the Union.
IL can hardly be the passage certihcaten men
or whom the London Tines correspondent says,
'they have In the last nfteen years managed to lay
up little sums" We do not, Tor all that, mean TO
say that poverty alone causes German, and es-
pecally Prussian, emigration, though we must deny
that emlyrants nowadays come to America with
fuller purses than twenty-five, ten I'VE years ago.
From what we learn through forwarding agents here
on that subject 1t seems certain that emlgrants
In former years were better supplied with the need
ful than at ure3ent. How and In what manner this
emigration of % new character IA discovered by
the London Times correspondent, even n we suppose
its real existence, Ia 10 affect the position OF the
adopted (German) citizens OF the United States s
beyond our comprehension. VIII the Germans

II IL natural that competition In q business OF
such vast importance as the forwa ding OF emf

better than those which piled thus trade twenty-five

IL still great need OF Improvement
