Tho Failing or In immigration.

AS = va 80
We have been somewhat interested In
looking over the statistics OF immigration
to this country for the year ending June
sOlh last, as now published. They show
q decided falling of from the totals oI
several previous years. In 1879 the i'm.
migration was about 437OOO in 1873 It
had increased to A59sOS; and in 1874 II
fell of to 8l9869, decrease Of lao, ,4G4
ln q single year. This decrease has been
seized upon by newspapers Of all cllques
and parties and made TO do service as an
argument for special theories. But the
fact seems to be that none OF these special
theories, such, for instance, as imitation,
contraction, protection, or free trade, he'd
much TO do with immigration ono way or
the other. Tho influx from Europe was
greatly stimulated by special causes, par
ticularly in Germany and France, during
1879 and 1878, and that stimulus 10 now
removed, while the hard times and stag
nation of business beginning with the iall
Of 1873 have also operated as check.
The aggregate number ofimmigrants to
this country since 1890 has been some
thing over nine millions of persens, an an.
nual average OF 196.S38. From 1s41 to
1850, the average was l50,75o; the next
decade it was 245, ,26G; the next, which in.
cluded the period Of the war, il was 2ls-
400. For the decade since the close Of
the war, the annual average has been
$4,000. 1t will be aeen that this years
immigration exceeds slightly the average
Of the last decade, and very largely ex.
ceeds that Of any previous one. Tho very
decided increase in the immigration Of
1879 and 1873 was largely caused by the
extraordinary measures adopted by the
German Government to maintain their
military strength. This caused many
Germans 10 emigrate who would
otherwise have remained in their
own country. Similar reasons operated
to increase the emigration Of French peo.
pie considerably. An analysis Of the de.
crease in immigration shows that nearly
half OF it-62,380 out Of 146.4G4-was
from Germany. 1t may BIO further re-
marked, in explanation Of this decrease,
that the German Government has re-
Gently done all in its power TO keep its
subjects at home. The decrease from
the British Isles was 5l,115, and from
Sweden, Norway and Denmark 163OS
OF course the greatest cause for this dc.
crease has been. the hard times and the
dullness in all manufacturing and com.
me1eisl enterprises, which have thrown
thousands Of men out OF employment.
Under the circumstances, the total immi.
grafton for the year ending June 80, 1874,
has been larger instead OF smaller than
was to hsye been anticipated.
