1900 the rise was comparatively steady.
Ihen came the panic OF 1851 and tho

But you must not think that all of
these immigrants are laborers," Mr..
Sargent went on. There are many
who engage In other businesses The
Hebrews for instance. often go into
merchandising. They are small shop
keepers and also tailors and members
of the clothing trades. The northern
Italians are usually better off than
those from about Naples, and many OF
them become farmers, The Germans
and British go into all sorts OF trades
and enterprises"
II suppose most OF these immigrants
were very poor2"
Yes, the majority had little or moth

brought in by them In 1905 amou "a

Yes, proportionately so. There we're
10000 English and they brought about
$4,000, 900, whereas nearly as many Mag
vars brought less than 100000 The
$4,000 Irish had almost a million and a
half, while the more than double as
many Jews had only about $500 200
more. The 10000 Germans brought In
$4,000 600, and more than double as
many southern Italians had not as
much. Altogether there were less than
$1,000 immigrants who had $50 or more
each, and about $4,000 who had less
