IRISH IMMIGRATION
The Result of the Potato Famine-Rate of In
crease in the United States.


In the early part of the past century
there was almost no immigration into the
United States The best authorities con-
slider 5000 each year from 1880 to 1910
a generous estimate for all immigration
into the United States, the highest num-
ber for one year being in 1894. From
1906 to 1916 the unfriendly relations be
tween Great Britain and the United
States and France, precluded immigration.
The wars having closed between these
countries, immigration set in in 1917, and
there being no law here to limit the num-
ber of passengers to ship or to provide
for the health or accommodation of pas
sengers, regulations were proposed in
1918 and passed and approved March 2,
1919, which gave the Government the
management and also fairly accurate and
reliable statistics of all the alien pas
sengers arriving in this country.
The immigration from Ireland at that
time was insignificant, averaging for the
first five years, QS19-1S24) about 230O a
year. 1t became somewhat larger, but
irregular till 1884, when it rose to "a, ,474,
from 1910 there was a further rise, but
the great leap was from 1916 to 1S47 on
account of the potato famine in Ireland,
when 105, $50 aliens from Ireland arrived.
This was a quite general immigration,
while the immigration of the 18th Century
had been almost entirely and strictly from
Ulster; this tide was continued mainly
from the south and west which were al
most entirely dependent eOn the potato
crop. Ulster has other resources and is
but a minor element of the great emigra-
ton which was at its flood 1916 to 1854.
The relation Of population to potatoes in
Ireland is one Of the most remarkable
phenomena of the kind IN the worlds his
tory. The potato was SO productive in
Ireland that it was said one man could
furnish food for 40 persons. The popula-
5,937 ,S56 in 1911, and to S,175,124 in
1871.
On the loss of the potato crop by rot
ting in 1S45, hundreds Of thousands came
to the brink of starvation, and once
started to America, true to the Irish gre
gariOus instinct, they poured in swarms
especially through Galway and Cork as
as the main port of arrival. The popula-
ton of Ireland in 1851 had fallen to
6,552, ,3S5; in 1871, to 5,412,377 in 1891,
to 4,704 ,750 and in the United States the
total OF alien passengers from Ireland
from the beginning of the Government
statistics had reached 3,S06,7 ,764, in 1896.
Before 1856. deduction of about per
cent. must be made for passengers other
than immigrants.
Some Irish writers have assumed
hastily from glance at the potato
period" only, that the Irish are always
and everywhere the most prolific race in
the world, but what makes that period
remarkable for increase is that statistics
prove that before, and as far as the
United States is concerned, since that
period the race as n whole is comoara-
lively slow Of increase. The climate of
the United States is great contrast to
that of Ireland; the Irish flock to the
cities; and though apparently under more
