During the afternoon Of II month, Is, 1880,
an average number of the Club Members, to.

OF the premises revealed the fact that our host

A new broad tread farm wagon, Of Chicago

ImmigratiOn to the South.


We arc told that the exodus Of negroes
from the South goes steadily on. The
men who are engaged in tho work, the old
malignants and their conferees, are not
conscious that they arc doing the South a
most signal service. They are removing
from the South to certain Western and
Northern States class Of population that
the Southern States would be far better
without, and whose places can speedily be
iiiled by men of the Caucasian race against
whom no prejudice as to color exists, aud
who will in the next generation become
AmesicaniEed and thoroughly identified
with the original inhabitants. The loss
will be chiefly to the negroes themselves,
who go out from more eOngenial climate
to colder and more rigorous one, and to
system Of agriculture strange and new
to them, and to habits Of life altogether
different from what they have been ac-
customed to. The Italians and other i'm
migrants will speedily take their places.
A contemporary says The Italian peas.
ant, especially from the northern provinces,
is industrious, patient, saving and orderly.
Next to the Germans and Irish he makes the
best immigrant and supplies the best foreign
population to South America, particularly
Bnenos Ayres and Brazil. There is very
large flow Of these emigrants from Genoa and
Marseilles. They are driven out by heavy
taxes on land, industry and the necessaries OF
life. The Italian peasant pays eight times as
much tax per capita as the FEeseh, while his
average earnings are only little more than
half as great. This system OF taxation, is
driving out the Italian peasants IN large mum
bers The Southern States could secure q
population of these by proper efforts, and
they would make valuable additions TO the
population. They would introduce the silk
industry. They know how to I'LL cotton, corn
tobacco and wheat, aud are skillfulalso in the
growing Of all kinds of fruits, olives, oranges
lemons, grapes, etc. To the South tney
would supply an intermediate class ofpeoplt
versed in precisely those small industries anC
= home manufactures in which that section L
most deficient, and taey would not need tt
be acelimated, since the climate Of Italy re
sembles that Of the South very closely.
