Since the question Of immigration
il now under discussion, and the
time seems TO have como wheh It is
necessary to look into the matter as
affecting The general interests OF the
country, there are facts which may
be worth considering, and which
will show the increase of U popu.
latiou from this source. Seventy
years ago the collectors Of customs
al the seaports in this country were
ordered to keep a record of all
passengers arriving from foreign
shores. During that time oyer Is.
.000, 900 Of Immigrants have landed
here, hut it vas not until since 1870
that the wholesale coming Of these
foreigners began to assnme alarming
proportions, and cause the question
to be generally discussed, although
until quite recently II was not q
subject which could he agitated
publicly without being rebuked,
Over half IF this number have come
in since 1870, and as-the number i
increasing eacli year the matter now
come up and cleans the public atlen-
ton, with a possible prospect Of
receiving some attention. Now let
us see what class Of people these
new corners are. No one will deny
that they are almost wholly the
industrial class. THAT'S, those who
either failing to obtain a living at
heme, or because OF the more liberal
and jnst form of government Of our
country making q life here, even for
working class, mnch more desirable
than in other countries, and because
OF the more promising prospects OF
obtaining a living here. have come
to this country aud found a home.

These igures do not include Chinese,

qnite a large number hrvc come.
That the interests and lives Of Amer
lean horn citizens are, and always
have been; affected by the presence
and influence of this toreiga element
can not bnt be admitted. That
something under the present circums.
tances should be done 10 relieve us
of the burden of immigration is
is imperative. and it is now time
that the question be thoroughly
ventilated and discussed. in all its
bearings.

to this assault, as any person with
