DIMINISHING GERMAN

tho number OF emigrants reach 200 0oo
Tn the year 1855 the number Of emil
grants once more fell below 100000,
but again exceeded this calculation
IN the following years. as was also the
case In the years 1891 and 1892 Since
the last named year that is to say
during the last IS years, the number
has never risen as high as 100 900. since
1898 II has never exceeded 10000. That
is 90 say that between 1891 and 1894 a
