EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION.
Facts Of mueh significance to to this country
are iur1iehed hy some statistics; just received,
which have been prepared by the Eugilsh Board
vi Trade in regard to the emigration from anu
immigration into the United Kingdom IN 1916:
These statistics STOW that more persons ot
British origin went from .he United States to
tile United kiugdor than came from the United
Kingdom hithcr. It is we'll known that the
bulk OF our increase OF population from the
United Kingdom has come from ireland. In
deed, it is asserted that there are in this coun-
try more persons Ut Irish birth anu origin than
there are ia Irelard itself. Tho emigration
from ireland, however, has almost entirely died
out Its annual average during the eight years,
1o53-loGu. was '1,s5g; in Tue ten years. IRON
1861 to ls7o, it was Go Ost. Then followed rapid
decline, the number falling year By year, from
G.; 59l in 1871 to III, 49, in 1876; while the last
figures were in nll probability balanced, or near
Iy balanceI, By the humber OF Ehosc returning
to their native land.
Tue total emigration OF 1876 from England,
Scotland, and Ireland to places out OF Europe
was, according to these statistics, 133,32 per-
sons; the total immigration was 9l,Gf7 The
loss Of Population indicated was more apparent
than real, for the REASON. Us given, that con
siderable proportion of the e!nigrants were for
eigncrs who lad gone to England as the more
convenient star1ing-puint for their destination.
The table which deals alone with persons Of
British origin gives the number OF emigrrnts at
109. .4o9, that OF immigrants at Il, ,404, ue; loss
in population OF 3S.0G5. But it is in tue statis-
tics in their
RELATIONSHIP TO THIS COUNTRY
that We arc most interested. From these it ap-
pears as stated a!c:e, that more people Of
British origin left our shores than landed upon
them, although not many more, the number of
being 54,5o7, that of incomers 54,554.
An analysis Of the occupations recorded makes
q comparison between the English emigrants to
Australia and those to America decidedly
against us. For instance, but seventy-three
the United States,' against :, l01 who sailed for
the Australian colonies. On the other hand,
! ,535 gentlemen, professional men, merchants,
etc-, and 1o,S94 persons OF no occupation came
over here, while only 1,103 OF the first class
and 2,553 of the SECOND went to Australia
North America the records OF 1876 are those
Of movement of passengers rather than Of i'm
migrants. It Is this very fact that possesses
significance for those who watch the growth aud
prospects Of growth Of this country. It was the
great tide of immigration FROM the United
Kingdom which contributed more largely per-
haps than a1.y other une thing to the unpre~e-
iented alve acemeut and material development
Of the nation during the last twenty or thirty
years. This tide. at least SO far as the pcoplc
Of British origin are concerned, seems at present
TO be wholly arrested. and it may be we'll to
consider tie causes that hare led to the change
n favor Of tue mother country. Whether it
was tue commercial depression Of the last
few years, or the social disorganization
which have had most to do in the matter, are
questions deserving Of attention. On this head
the compiler of the statistics under considera-
ton offer the
SOMEWHAT AMUSING ADVICE

to take to heart The lesson taught by the fact |
that for half century the population Of South
America has been almost completely arrested, |

4 further fact disclosed by these returns, and
= TACT NO aou:,t particularly gratifying to the
British politicians. is the almost total cessation
of emigration from ireland, not merely to
America. but to anr place soeyer. The whole

Europe was y 9sti, and Of this number 16.433,
