The FUTURE AMERICAN.
what VIII BE His Rare characteristics
I'm Half "a Centurys Time?
fEroro tba Toropto Mail

From the Toronto Mail
The inmensity of the stream OF i'm
migration annually flowing into the
United States has given rise to much
speculation as to the type of men who
will constitute the future citizens of
that country. The influx of the Celtic,
German, Latin, and Slavonic types
has been SO great in the past that
thoughtful men feel some anxiety as
to the American" of the future. The
question is, Will the Anglo-S Saxon hold
his own, or will some other type pre-
dominate?
The population of the United States
may be estimated as Mt present about
56,000,000 OF these about $500, 900
are colored, and {, 500, coo foreign born,
leaving about 100000 of native
whites. In 1890 the first CEN
sus put the white PEI sons in
the United States at $3.50, 900,
chiefly of British origin, although
Germans and Irish were numerous in
certain localities. This original native
population if left to itself would now
by natural increase have reached an
aggregate of twenty millions, and this
may be taken AS the strength of the
old stock among the present native
white population. Since 1890 more
than thirteen million immigrants have
arrived in the country, more than half
of them in the last twenty years. Up
to 1876 Ireland was most largely repre-
scented among these, having sent be-
tween 1920 and 1870 about 300, 900
persons. In the same time England
and Wales contributed $4,000 and
Scotland $4,000. Germany sent D.
100000 Sweden, Norway, and Den
mark $50, and France 245, 900. In
the subsequent decade Germany cane
to the front, and the census of 1880
gave the following as the number of
native-born persons from the countries
named as being then citizens of the
United States:
Iehnu .''''''''''''''' '''''''.... I,oO4,otl
Great Britain. Observation-Disclosures, 9l7, 5JS
scandinavian countries. .............. 440. 262
The most astonishing feature of this
enormous immigration, however, is
that nearly one-half of the natural in
crease of the countries from which the
population of the United States is most
largely drawn annually comes to Ameri-
ca. This is shown by the following
figures, giving the natural increase of
these countries and the number of their
immigrants to the United States in
1881:

IT is only once in q lifetime that the
average man loves his neighbor as him

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-10-14

Il will be seen that while the Sean
dinavian countries are sending almost
the whole of their annual natural in
crease to America, Ireland sends twice.
Judging from the present rate of i'm
migration, it is estimated that the CEN
sus of 1900 will show the following
numbers of natives of the countries
mentioned to be citizens of the United

Besides, there will be over twice as
many persons of the second generation,
children of the above, and four or five
times as many who may be regarded as
belonging to the races which they re-
spectively represent. The persons of
German birth or origin will then be
as numerous as the inhabitants of
Prussia were prior to the war with
Austria in 1866, and far more wealthy.
The question thus arises, what Will
be the character or race Of the future
citizen of the United States? If immi-
grafton were always to be of the same
composition as that of the past, there
would be little ground for apprehen-
sion. But other countries are begin
ming to send large numbers of people
annually, and the stream from each
will swell very rapidly. Austria, Hun
gary, and Italy have already contribut-
ed largely to the population, and inn
migration from these sources has only
fairly begun. Russia has scarcely
made a beginning as yet, but if it once
does there can be no doubt that the
current will soon become mighty one.
In the Southern States, too, which
have not attracted many immigrants,
the colored population is increasing
much more rapidly than the white. 1t
is no wonder, then, that the American"
is beginning to be in doubt as to his
identity, and feels no little concern as
to what will be his race characteristics
in half a century's time.

in the press have the manlness and hon
esty to Withdraw their charge against
the Government now that an itemized
statement, which may be easily verified,
has been published? We can hardly
hope for such signs OF grace. They are
among the reprobates, and will go on
living to the end of the chapter. But
what estimate, we ask, can be formed Of
such men, and who could trust them in
any matter or thing involving strict con-
siderations OF honor and veracity? They
may fairly represent the moral sentiment
and practices of the Opposition; but
their assumption of moral superiority
must be an offense TO honest and upright
! men.

man who has been enabled to monopO-

credited to the patriotism, wisdom and
independence OF planters, whose repre-
sentatives were willing to become bond
slaves OF the " Spreckels' despotisn1."
One has no patience with the absurd
reasoning OF the important San Fran
cisco merchant" He, however, drops
the mask at the close, and after demand
ing the defeat Of the Administration to
restore confidence in the Treaty on the
Pacific slope, proceeds to g boom the
new American Sugar Refinery, whose
capital has been increased to 81 900, 900
all paid up, with Mr.. Charles Croker as
sponsor. This accounts for the milk in
the Opposition cocoanut. We are glad
to hear that the American Refinery has
so much capital paid up" but its stock
holders may discover, when the manage
ment come to finance for carrying their
sugar contracts for the next three years,
that this sum will 90 a very short way in
such an operation. For Mr.. Crocker's
sake we can only express hope that the

great fizzle as the Opposition party in

The Mccarthy Safe.


I will say that took charge of the Office on
Wednesday, the 9th instant.
For some days previous, unsuccessful at
tempts had been made by various experts
to pick the lock. On Thursday, further
similar efforts were made with the same re-
suit by Mr. Ensign and other noted experts,
ALL OF WHOM FINALLY DECLARED
THAT THE LOCK COULD NOT BE
PICKED. and that the safe must be opened
by force.
On Friday 1 employed the expert of one
of your competitors, who did faithful and
honest work, for that purpose.
On Saturday morning work was begun,
and this morning Wednesday,, FOUR
DAYS AFTER, the expert succeeded in
drilling through the door and opening the
safe.

test, much beyond what burglar could
possibly employ under any circumstances,
and can assure it has inspired me with the
highest confidence in the security of your
Burglar-Proof Safes, AND THAT YOUR
LOCKS ARE PICK-PROOF AGAINST
THE BEST EXPERTS.

one expert said that he had found that

peared in the com bina ton. Yours, truly,

its last issue. 1t did not, however, for
get to misrepresent both the ADVERTISER
and the Administration. If it had not done
so, it would not have been the Gazette"
We are told that the ADVERTISER in
dorsed Mr.. Bakers statement ''to the
effect that spending public moneys on
objects other than those for which it was
appropriated was not wrong but right. l."
The ADVERTISER Endorsed no such state
ment. 1t simply reported in its local
columns the remarks of the National cam
date upon the policy of taking money
appropriated for one purpose and apply
ing it to another. That was Mr.. Bakers
opinion. When the ADVERTISER indorses
any proposition, it does not do SO by in
direction.
That convenient Opposition shadow,
animportant San Francisco merchant, "
figures in the Gazette" of yesterday
His letter bears the ear-marks of having
been written by some disappointed office
seeker or by some lawyer, who carried
his talents to the California market be-
cause they were not appreciated here.
In either case, it is characteristic. Abuse
and misrepresentation are its main fea-
lures. "The Spreckels despotisIn, whose
arbitrary dictation in past years has re-
suited IN making our merchants enemies
TO your Treaty among those who had pre-
no
porters, " is an assertion which could only
originate in the malignant mendacity
and pOverty-stricken brains of such Il
combination of disappointed soreheads.
The ADVERTISER defies the Opposition
and their outside abettOrs to name Il
single merchant on the Pacific Coast who
has changed his opinion regarding the
Reciprocity Treaty, or who has been rem
dered inimical to it by any act of what
these irresponsible scribblers have the
impertinence TO designate as ''the Spreck-
els despotism." This statement is lie
cut out of whole cloth and printed in the
Gazette" for the sole purpose of decep-
ton. It cannot, however, counteract the
injury which the Opposition has done
the Treaty by unjust discrimination
against American shipping. Ii the Pa
cifc Coast delegation in Congress will
not vote for the Treaty it will be because
the Opposition in this Kingdom has dis
eliminated against American merchants,

Mr.. Lorrin \. Thurston writes to the

button reads % like the melodious wall
ing OF bastinadoed child" Poor Lorrin,
he is so very sorry that he could not go
to the Leper Settlement at Molokai, and
deliver an electioneering speech. Is that
what a devout follower of the "meek
and lowly one " considers TO be his duty
towards unhappy lepers. Is this what
the Great Master, who healed the
lepers," would have done? And worse
still, hc is deeply grieved that he has not
been accorded the privilege of supplying
gin to the voters at Kalaupapa, which
he SAYS some one else did-an act of
partially and unfairness for which he
can find no adequate expression. Con-
sidering his Lahaina experience, one
would have thought that Mr.. Thurston
had seen enough of Opposition gin. 1t
is shrewdly guessed, however, that his
hearsay description OF excuses at Kalau-
papa really was drawn from his q tramp"
experience at Lahaina.
