Iunmigran n.s and the Un,on-Heraid

Mr. EDITOR: The article in yester-
days ISSUE Of the Union Herald. under
the head of "Immigra:ion, is fabri-
cation, and q repetition OF the old song
Any one, being conversant with the
matter of immigration, can see ut once
that the article on Martin Garrety and
James Burk is ''putup job" Never
theless, it answers the puspose of the
Union- Herald and the~party it repre-
sents, to make these "fearful facts" of
Martin and Jim known to the people,
and warn others from falling in like
traps.
In the first place, the Cnioa Herald
errs when it says that Immigrants are
brought here without any preparation
being made to reoeivs them" Now, all
know that the society OF which Ruv. T..
II. Gaines is at the head, aud the
Charleston German Immigration So.
ciety, require in dGoance of the en-
plOyee q certain amount Of money to
cover their travelling expenses, such US
steamboat, railroad, omnibus aud hotel
fare, to their final destination.
How can the Herald, then, say that
there is ''no money, no home nor en-
ploy yment, to meet the immigrant on his
okhiSoAt <Ad AaI hS UoluB pEOSlueu IOT,
Treatment. &c., read the testimonials in
the Working Mam, from immigrants
scattered oil over the State. But, as q
matter of course, if Martin Garrety aud
Jamos Burk, for long time residents OF
New York, land no doubt New York
roughs,) tell the Union- Herald that
they were ill-treated, fooled and not
provided for, then all other statements
are incorrect, and the ''in migration
scheme" misohievous. as predicted by
the Union Herald. As for wages. any
boy, of good character, industrious, 60 !,
either white or oolored, can get from
$40 to $12 per moth in NeWberry. at
least. on farm. No this tells badly
for Martin and Jim Burk, if wages are
elsewhere over the State as in Newberry.
For the benefit of the Union Herald
and all such iil-fated beings as Martin
and James Burk. I would ad-
wise them to write to Rev. Kuhn, In
migration Agent, Newberry, S. c., who
will find work for the immigrant and
other food for the Union- Herald
