LAST YEARS IMMIGRATION.

The immigration statistics 70 the pres.
ent year show the smallest number Of
Immigrants arriving in the United
States since 1879. During the first clev-
en- months Of the fiscal year just ended,
only 210,271 immigrants came to the
United States. and If the Immigration
during June was not heavier than the
average Of the preceding eleven months,
the number for the entire year was less
than 100000. The total number OF i'm
migrants who have come into the coun-
try since, June, 1890, Is $3.50 900, and If
the average OF the last four years is pre-
served during the next three, 100000
Ing the immigration for the decade
$3.50 900.
During the decade between 1880 and
1890, the largest gain in population was
made by the country that was ever made
from immigra ton, the total number
coming into the country during that
decade being 57O3.S7O And yet the
total gain in population, according to
the census. was only 12,466.467 leaving
a gain Of only 6,762,597 or less than 1916
per cent. from births During the
preceding decade the gain from immi-
grafton was only 2,354934, and from
births was 9.2i1 ATS, or "a per cent. This
difference Is so great rs to suggest
the idea and almost to prove it, that
the census Of 1890 reported far less than
10 M to) &c
probably above G6,O0OO00. If the country
makes no greater gain from births than
was shown by the last census. the pop
ulatlon will be only 100000 in 1900,
which Is precisely the estimate the gov
eminent statisticians make OF the pres
| tween 1870 and 1880 as basis with the
| immigration Of the present decade, the
| population in 1900 should be $1,000, 600,
and we believe it will not fall far short
Of that number.

Which, according to a report published
with some show OF authority by that

Of the classified service. He points out
that the Government Printing Office was

convention adopted q platform which

than three months before Mr.. McIlin-

phatically Endorsed that system and
solemnly bound him to take mo back

Mr.. McAneny's statement that the Gov.
eminent Printing Office was brought un-

that q large class now threatened with

that fair competition won't serve thci,
