This remarkable increase shows that
the neglect of congress to provide for
the regulation and restriction of immi-
grafton is having It's effect. and that the
stream of foreigners pouring into this
country Is steadily increasing. There
might be little to quarrel with in this
if il were the result Of wholesome and
natural conditions, giving US q class Of
immigrants desirable as citizens. But
there is plenty of evidence that this in
tlux at Castle garden, is to great ex-
tent. due 10 the canvassing of steamship
agencies abroad. For example. re-

not terrifying them by threats, to sell

for the government to deal directly with
foreign governments in this matter, or
with foreign vessels, except to compel

This rule is already in existence. aud
occasionally it is inforced. But il is not
