IMMIGRATION AND - ;.
THE MELTING POT

No migration of humanity the
world has ever known has equalled
that which set in in 1882, and still
continues, with North America as the
objective point, says the Christian
Science Monitor. Previous to the
year named the number of immi-
grants to the United States annually;
had not exceeded $1,000 In 1880 and
1881 the number each year was below
q, 900. In 1882 It rose to $4,000. 1t
rose and fell from this on until, in
1854, it passed the 100000 mark. In
the early years of the Civil War it
feif to- less than 10000, but from this
on its general tendency was upward
until it reached 623, 900 in. 1892. After
that there was some decline, but in
number of foreigners arriving in 1907
was 1,2S5 ,349. The total from the
year first named to last year was
more than 2S,500,000 for the United
States alone Canada is receiving
now from European countries at the
rate of over 100000 immigrants a
year. In round figures, the immi-
grants to the United States and Can.
ada will average at present over L.
00G000 a year. r
1t is something of a task to provide
for these strangers materially, but
the two english-speaking nations of
the continent are doing it, and where
proper distribution Of the new arriv-
ais takes place, they are doing it
we'll. Even in the congested districts
of the great cities there has been no
serious lack of employment in recent
years, and nothing bordering upon alb
ject poverty among those willing and
able to work. Generally speaking, the
industries of the United States and
Canada have absorbed the Immigrants
as fast as they have arrived.
