THOR the first time since the year
1870 the number Of foreign
born living within the area OF
the thirteen tates which re
belled against the aggressions OF the
British crown exceeds the number OF
foreign born living within the area
added to the United States since the
Revolutionary war.
In 1850. when the federal authorities
separately tabulated for the first time
the foreign born element i'm the popula-
ton Of the United States, the foreign
born living within the original area OF
the Union were nearly two-thirds or
the whole immigrant group. or. TO be
exact. 65.3 per cent. In 1860 h per
centage had shrunk to 54.I. and in
1870 there had been a further shrink
age of 5 per cent. placing more tina
half, or, to be exact. SOB per cent OF
the foreign born within the area added
to the United States after the Revolu-
ton. The percentage within h add
ed area was vet larger in 1880 and in
1890 reached 55.1 per cent. a study
of the changes in percentages shows
that the added area grew as long as
land remained to he taken up. In 1900
the percentage living within the
area had shrunk to 51.4 per cent.
In 1900 a trile above one-third of
the foreign born whites in the United
States were domiciled in nineteen
cities, now having 100000 population.
In 1910 the percentage of the foreign
born whites of the nation living in
these same cities was 500. an increase
Of "a per cent. representing ~1.3T0,135
persons.
OF this increase 914.573, or over two
thirds, was In nine cities located with
In the area of the original thirteen
states and 1873 per cent in ten cities
within the area added to the United
States since the Revolutionary war.
Within nineteen miles of New York's

born than were in the whole United
States In the year 1850. IN New York
city alone the foreign born whites
