Capt. Merry's Immigrant Plan.

Dubuque Globe Journal, Friday
Capt. ]. F. Merry has returned from
Washington. d. O., where he attend
ed q meeting of the Southeastern
Passenger association which takes
i'll all the states east Of the Missis-
sippi and south of the Ohio river.
The meeting was held in the office
of General Commissioner of Immi-
grafton Frank 2. Sargent and the
subject Of foreign immigration was
widely discussed. AS one of the
purposes was to devise means to at
tract immigrants to thesouth, Capt.
Merry took prominent part in the
meeting, as he is probably as famil-
lar with conditions and as much
interested in the welfare of the south
as any man in the country.
At the meeting CommissionerSar-
gent outlined bill which he is to
present to congress which asks for
an appropriation of $l50,0O0 to be
used for the construction of a build
ling on Ellis Island. The building
is to be under government supervis-
ion and will be used asa place where
each state can make an exhibit Of
its agricultural products. Each
state will be given space in the
building and an agent will be sta
toned there so that when immi-
grants arrive in this country they
can be shown the advantages of 10.
eating in the states which offer in.
J ducements to them.
"It is fact" states Capt. Merry
that over Is per cent of the immi
grants to this country are ticketec
only to New York. They are of the
belief that when they reach America
their troubles will be at an end
This class Of immigrants are met a
the dock by designing fellows who
soon relieve them of whatever
money they have and they are lef
penniless in New York. The objec
Of Commissioner Sargent wanting
building on Ellis Island is that for
eign immigrants may be taken Their,
> and shown where for a little money
a they can secure good homes.
!. ut is an astounding fact that il
the whole of Kentucky and Virgins
! the foreign born population is les
! than that Of the single state of Con
= necticut. In Mississippi and Louisi
ana there are forty millions of acre
;. of good land that would make spler
did homes for the men and womel
4 who come to our shores annually
In the south I have visited man
foreign colonies and have found
:. healthy and happy people. The fol
. eign immigrants should go to IL
y south where great agricultural pos
= sibilities await them"
