A very striking circumstance in the
immigration of 1880 was the number |
furnished by our British neigtbors. |
The British isles themselves last year
sent us 164, 43S of their people, while
the British possessions in North Amer |
lea, with less than a seventh of the
home population and a territory which,
estimated by square miles, is larger
than the United States, gave us 1876, 76l.
This is considerably more than the
quota Of Germany, which was 134, 04O, |
and, if we separate England from Ire
land, more than that of any other
single country. The fact becomes more
remarkable II we look at the proportions
of the several provinces. Ontario and
Quebec, the nearest, wealthiest and
most advanced Of them, furnished no
less than 112,712, while Nova Scotia
1850 and the others 0,179.
