clusxtrss PANIC,

that higher prices OF living In this country
and increasing prices Of wages In Europe
are about to cut of this source Of increased
wealth and prosperity 10 America. These
fears are but bug ug-bcars-nothing else. The
immigration from Asin to our Pacific pos
sessions doubtlesa 10 1858 more than made
up for tbis decrease Of 10 per csntum In tho
European emigration. The Aslatic emigrs-
tion commenced with the opening OF direct
communication between California and
China, and has increased with its growth.
Il Is already clear that 1t h hereafter 10 In
crease much out Of proportion 70 the Increase
Of our direct communication with the East,
CalIforula-wise. A month ago ! took occa-
sion 10 write you In detail concerning the
proportions Of this Eastern immigration In
time to come; showing that there need be
no fear that Ii will not be large enough In all
conscience, tho danger being that Il viii be
so great a. To threaten vast difficulties TO us
through It's peculiar characteristics. .--
European immigrstiou to the United
States, however, coussaasiy huctuates, being
aneeted by thousand considerations In
Europe. The improving condition OF the
poor In ireland Is destined, II oontinuing--of
which there Is great probability under the |
advance Of liberalism In the English Govern
ment-to decrease, or al least not TO increase
In its proportions. But there Is no reason
whatever to imagine that the aggregate Of
European immigration TO the United States
Is liable TO fall of. But there need be no
fear whatever that European emigration Is
likely to decrease materially. The change
In the Institutions and habits Of business In
our South will draw thither, In brief time, a
tide Of immigration well nigh as great as
that which our West has been drawing from
Europe up TO this time. All that Is wanting
Ia public confidence In the condition Of the
south, such as exists with reference 10 the
West. Under Grants administra tion that
confidence will certainly come.
Living Is well nigh as cheap at the South
today as ten years ago at the West. Lands,
when we take into consideration the differ
ence In the cost Of getting the produce Of the
two sections to coast markets, are, perhaps,
as low as Western lands, available to immi-
grafton, have been for the last ten years.
The fact that nearly all available and vaiu-

cupied is one reason why the decrease OF IL
per cent. In last years immigration has oe-
CURED. Were II possible that our drain Of
labor from Europe is about TO cease there
would be good cause for the panic Of which
write above, rs through European immi-
grafton in the last twenty-five years the ma
terial wealth Of the United States has been
immensely Increased and the development Of
our national resources have been SO stimu-
lated as In no other way and In no other
cline in modern times, except 1t may be In
Australia, to which region the discovery Of
, gold has attracted an immense throng oi
