Emigration Figures.

Up to 1920 no statistics OF emigration
into this country were kept officially.
but the numbers were trivial, only 8. 1886
foreign emigrants being reported for
that year. In 1880 the number was %
800; in l540. $4,000; 1s4o, IO4, 500; 1850.
800, 600; 1854, 4e7,s 800. That was the
maximum number for nearly twenty
years. In 1855 and 1856 the number
was but about 100000 each; Il rose to
25l 900 in 1857; was 1853, GAO in 1860: in
1861 and 1863, for the obvious reason that
our war was deterrent, fell to Oh 900 ;
the labor demand so far overcame this
that the number arose TO l76 900 in 1868.
ls3,4OO. in 1864, and $4,000 in 1865.
From 1865 to 1873, during the term of
post war paper prosperity, when labor
was immensely in demand, emigration
was heavy, reaching the highest figure
in 1873, 459,sO0 1t fell TO 3l3, 1000 in
1874. 227,OO0 in 1875, 10000 in 1875.
$4,000 in 1877, 13s, 900 in 1878, but rose
TO l7s,OOO in 1879. and was, OF course,
very much increased in $780,. England
and Ireland (taking 1873 as a stand
ard) sent about one-third, I52. 600
out OF 100000; 1t may surprise most
readers. however, to know that those
two countries send at out an equal num-
Der, and that in 1879, 1875 and 1863.
England sent more than Ireland. Thus,
for 1879, $4,000 emigrants' were of
English nationality, and 10000 were
Irish. Scotland contributed $4,000 in
1873. Germany sends nearly as many
as England and Ireland combined
10000 in 1873, against l52, 900, ana
$4,000 in 1879, against 1900. Among
the .other European countries, Sweden
stands next; then Norway; then France,
Italy and Austria. Not China "a 1ne.
but all Asia, overwhelms US with ST. h
hordes as 10000 in 1873, and $500 in
1879. In the twenty-three years, 1856
n, almost 200, 900 Cinnamon came in,
OF whom not more than one-half have
since gone back. 1t would be interest
ing If the outward as well as the in
ward movement were recorded. In
1876, according TO British statistics.

went thither from this country; TO Can
ada, 1885, and 6,229 from Canada !;
to Australia, 80, 1876, and 2,579 from
Australia; total emigration, los, 469. and
7l,404 total immigration. The total
movement of Irish from May, 1851, 10
the end of 1875, according to these re-
ports was 2,4l5,OOO leaving Ireland
direct, of whom nineteen -twentieths
came to this country; 81 per cent of the
whole number leaving the United King
dom from 1853 to 1876 also came here.
1t Is perhaps n hopeful Symptom that
the human tide which will for yet many
years set to these Western shores con-
tains larger proportion of skilled or
half-skilled laborers, and smaller pro-
portion OF the least desirable class than
used TO be the case.

The railroad management is idiotie which

We are emphaticslly the friend
OF railroads aud d, sire to see every
road iu the United States succeed
and make money, yet at the same
time the DEhoCRAT,STAR is the
friend Of the people, and wishes to
see the people have the fullest ben
eft of cheap railroad fares, aud to
this end We will labor to the best
Of orr ability.
We concur with the Times in
what it says about railroad rates
being too high in the South, and
think local rates from all stations
ought to be placed At three cents
per mile. The L. aud n. with con-
mendable enterprise aud liberaliiy
has reduced Que thousand mile
tickets to the minimum of three
cents per mile for individual tic.
kets, but We believe the manage.
ment of this good road would I've
justified in still further reducing
the rates on such tickets to two
aud one.half cents per mile over
the entire line, and place single.
trip tickets, good from any station
on tue line to any other station, at
three cents per mile.
There is no doubt in the mind
Of any on1 who has given the sub
ject . thought, that the true policy
OF a railroad is to carry as many
passengers on every train as posi-.
BILE, aud the more passengers cur.
ried the greater profit. Trains
have to be run any way, and the
cheaper the fare the larger will be
the number Of people who will
travel. The L. aud N. is a great
through route, well officered and
equipped, and is fully able to com.
pete in low rates with any road in
the United States, aud therefore is
as fully able to carry passengers at
as low rates. We hope to zee
change in rates at no distant day.
