IanuarY,s immigration Record.

The governments immigration ia
bles for January are at hand, and they
indicate an unprecedented movement
of people this way during the calendar
year. Never before has the immigra
ton figures for January been so heavy
All told, 56,32S immigrants came in
the cold month of January, as against
1851 in 1903, the previous best
record of that month. The immigra-
ton of last January was in fact dou-
BILE that of any January excepting that
of 1903 only.
Not only was the aggregate OF the
first month of the year heavy, but 1t
shows beyond any questioning the
trend of immigration in the respect
of races, as follows
1902. 1903. 1904 1905
Italy .......... ..5961 $40 6,340 1864
Austria Hungary ...7773 9402 1868 1853
Russia ...............404S Gill 7,1I6 loH5
The three countries contributed two
thirds of the months total, and 1t is
believed the footings of the year will
increase the proportion. AS the year
becomes warmer Italy will send over
more immigrants, and the Italians
may indeed later on outnumber the
Russians. or even those from Austria
Hungary. The three countries will
assuredly supply nearly so per cent
of the entire immigration of the year.
Among the scattering" will be Eng
lishmen, Germans, Irishmen, Scotch
men. Swedes, Norwegians and Danes.
The Italians come from a warm
country-a country as warm as Ala
bama, and there Is no reason why
they should not accept cotton-farming
as the best opportunity that the New
World has to offer them. If other
sections were not offering them in
ducements, the Italians would I'M
doubtedly seek opportunities in the
southern states, but as long as other
states offer them inducements and the
south does not they may go else
where. In the long run however the
newly arrived Italians will come this
way
