The emigration policy of the Austrian

second time during the past few months, {"
our contemporary says, "wc learn of the
arrest OF steamship agents in Austria for
inducing peasants to emigrate to America
by picturing it as land which overflow
eth with work and money. 1t appears
that the motive of the Austrian Govern
ment is not so much to secure the cmi
grants against fraud and exilcd wretch.
edness, as to prevent its young men from
escaping military service. But whatever
the motive, our own country is to be con-
graduated upon the attitude which the
Austrian Government has assumed. II
is victimizcd ignorance in Austria and
Italy, more than Government assistance
in Great Britain, which supplies us with
the most helpless and Objectionable class
OF immigrants"
