There are those who suggest from

German inlux may come to have an
unfavorable affect upon our national
character and institutions; but there
IL little to warrant any apprehension
of this kind. The Germans do not a.

The statistics of immigration to the
United States from Europe for the ten
fiscal years ending June 80, 1882, pre-.
sent some very curious aud suggestive
facts, particularly l" connection with
the coming Of the Germans. We have
received from Germany in all, 1t up
pears, about 4 1000, 600 settlers; and II
la estimated that fully 10, 000, 0C0
more have been born here of German
parents. They did not begin coming
very extensively until after the Napol.
comic wars. The total German immi.
grafton for the ten years ending 1880
was only 6,7G1, or al average OF less
than zoo a year. For the following
ten years there was a gradual increase,
| which continued for the next ten yesrs;
and from 1850 to 1854, inclusive, 1t
reached remarkable proportions, the
figures for 1854 alone being 215, 600,
which fell the next year to II, 9lS -
and then came ten years of continuing
decrease. 1t was not until 1872, In
fact, that there was anything ike q
boom, the figures thai year being 1885,
sos.
Since that time, with q few occa.
sional years of exception, we have
been receiving a steady and swelling
food of German immigrants, which
promises to assume the nature of a
regular exodus. The average for the
last two years exceeded 250, 600,
which war more than one.third of our
total foreign immigration. So far
this year, the arrivals have not
equaled those of last; but the greatest
volume of immigration usually comes
later, and the shipping agents say the
total for the year will fully equal, If
not surpass, that OF 1882. The
American fever Is represented to be
prevailing among all classes of the
German people as 1t never did before.
Bismarck calls 1t a ''chron!c diecon-
tent" but 1t Ia a discomfort that seems
