The Chinese ira thc Grniicd Stmtcs.
The number Of Chinese in the United
States, according 10 the ceusus returns,
is lOj 4G3 The total cf our foreigp-born
population isI-G G77 300. The Chinese
therefore, constitute lcfs than oue-six
tioth part OF it. OF the foreigners in the
Unitcd Slate,, only about one in sixty
three is from Ch.Aa
That DOES not look as ii we were in
any immgdiato danger OF being swamped
by Chinese. immigration. Aud when we
observe the slow Increase Of our Chinese
population during the last twenty years,
since the time when they began to appear
in the census IN auy considerable mum
bcrs, we snail fnd that there has been
at no period any real Qualification for the
alarm Of some prophets lest Chinese
blood should eventually prcdaminate in
the United State8.
In 1850 tbc number Of Chinese was 81
033. IL 1870 it was G3 100 and in 1880 it
WAS 10j 43G. That is in twenty years
they had increased about three times +;
but The total gain was oaly about seven
~ Thousand. Meantime tho number Of
negroes in the country, by natural in
crease slune, advanced from 4.44l, $50 m
1850, 30 4, $685. 900 i'm 1870, and 10 6, ,j77, ,1Ji
in 1890 While the Chinese, constantly
rcpcnisbcd by fresh immigration, gained
the small total Of $3.50, The negroes
without the aid Of immigration, Increased
2. 1875 .32l.
Tie small actual increase Of our Chi
ucse population alsp appears. very marx
ed when we contrast IL with that Of tho
rest of our lsreign population. The
number Of Foreigners i'm the United
States, independent Of the Chinese, was
1o3 76l in 1860, gci O3O 10 1870, and
657l ,sS7 in 1880. Their gain in The
twenty years wss, therefore, 4G8. 1873
against The small gain Of about seventy
thouiaDd by the Chinese.
Hence, Chinese immigration in not
