Experts on immigration are Of the opinion
that comparatively few foreigners will come to
this country to settle during the present year,
a conclusion which must be rather surprising
to those who imagined that the reopening of the
gates would result in tremendous thrush Of
those who by reason Of the presidential procla-
nation have been kept out. There are several
good reasons why immigrative slackness will
probably prevail during 1898. Steerage rates
have been materially increased, the big
steamship companies realizing that their
profits during the worlds fair period
would come from the cabin passengers
and that those profits would be COM
pletely swallowed up should epidemic disease
be discovered in the Storage Then the
European governments are cautious as to the
wholesale shipments of paupers and criminals,
for they realize that public sentiment is wide
awake just now and that further imposition
would not be tolerated. Information from across
the Atlantic is to the effect that those who con-
template citizenship in the republic are of a
much better class than the average Of recent
years; welcome news to those who are truly in
terested in the nations welfare.
