IREIIAND'S REVENUE FROM THE
EXILES.

For the purpose We have here in
view we shall assume that the Ma
tional bank did pay remittances
amounting to e134,422 II it did so
1t would raise the total remittances
from abroad paid through Irish
banks to friends at home to G1,209,-
1877. 1t will be understood that the
remittances are not only from the
United States, but from all the col
onies as well. 1t will probably be in
the recollection of such of our read
ers as have accompanied us SO far in
our study of the economic condition
OF Ireland that the postmaster gen.
eral was good enough to tell us that
it is estimated by the postoffice Off
Gals at the general postoffice that
out of the total remittances to the
United Kingdom, there we're RENTED
to Ireland through the postoffice, in
round figures, about 100000 from
the United States and the colonies
that is to say about sS00,000 from
the United States and about $500, 900
from the United States and about
100000 from the colonies Now we
find that, as nearly as We can calcu-
late in the absence of information
from the National bank, the remit
tances paid through the Irish banks
amounted last year to 81, 209,797. If
we are at liberty to add the bank
payments to the postoffie payments,
the total, it will be seen, will amount
to s2,109,797. The sum is consid-
cradle, but it does not seem enough
to account for the large excess of i'm
ports over exports. We are in
debted to Dublin reader, F. o.
Lyons, for page of an old Irish
almanac giving summary of paper
read by DR.. Hancock in November,
1873, before the Statistical society of
Ireland on this very subject of re-
mittances from Irish emigrants
abroad to their friends at home. DR..
Hancock estimated that in the TWEEN
toy-one years from 1927 to 1872 the
total sum of emigrants remittances
to Ireland was e14.SS0,0 600, being
an average of s706,190 per annum.
IT DR.. Hancock was nearly right, 1t
will be seen that there has been a
very great increase in the remit

therefore. that a. the Irish In Amer

OF they send larger remittanccs TO
the friends they have left at home.
There is one other point TO which
We would like to refer. In the lat
ter part OF January We received from
the secretary OF one OF the Irish
banks a most courteous and helpful
letter on this subject. The secretary
in question desires that neither his
name nor the name OF his bank be
published. Therefore. we are un-
able to give him credit for an esti-
mate, which has much helped us. His
estimate is that the remittances in
small amounts through the Irish
banks amount annually to f630,000;
that other remittances for larger
amounts through the same banks,
which probably represent legacies
and distributions of estates. amount
to 100000; that amounts RENTED
direct to recipients in dollar notes
and cashed in Ireland amount to
100000; making the total remit
tances through the banks 81, 900, 900.
1t will be seen that the actual remit
tances through the eight Irish banks
which have supplied us with informa-
ton on the subject amount to ST.
075,375. Even If we include the
National, the total amounts to very
little more than 100000. Our COR
respondent, therefore, as far as the
banks are concerned, is wonderfully
close to the truth. Indeed, he is out
at all only because the remittances
paid by one bank are exceptionally
large-are exceedingly large, we may
say, compared with the other banks.
Whether this was an accident pecu-
liar to last year, or whether the
bank in question always has the
lions share of the business, we are
unable to say. Where our CORE
spondent is out is in regard to the
postoffice. He estimates that the total
remittances paid through the post
Office amount only to quarter of =
million, whereas, as we have stated
above, the higher offiials of the gem
eral postoffice estimate that the re-
mittances from the United States
alone through the postoffice to Ire
land amount to 100000, and the
| remittances from the colonies to
practically 100000 We ought to
add, however, that our correspondent
distinctly warned us that he was I'M
able to speak with any authority re-
speeding the postoffice-that his esti-
mate, in short, was only guess.
Where. however. he had long exper-
fence to guide him his estimate has
proved to be wonderfully close to
the mark. Dublin Freeman.
