! according to the figures Of the 1mmigra-
ton Bureau. 4.35o,0oo Irish people have
abandoned their native country and come
to the United States. There are now
more Irish here than in Ireland. and
q flood OF them is still pouring In.
An Irish patriotic organization, the
Sim Fein, recently addressed formal
appeal to President Taft, asking him to
discourage the "deplorable exodus by
which ireland has lost one-half Of its
population within the last sixty-hve
years. The letter added: Emigration
figures even now are increasing at a
rate which threatens to obliterate the
| Irish nation:''
Now, there are in connection with this
statement a number of facts more than
ordinarily interesting-frst among them
being the circumstance that the Irish
| were the first people to come to the
United States in large numbers as i'm
| migrants. The figures of the 1mmigra-
ton Bureau go back only to 1870 (up to
| which time 1t was an office Of the State
Department.. but in that year 1874 per-
sons from the Emerald Isle landed upon
our shores. During the next thirty years
QS21-ls5o, the Irish contributed more
than two-fifths of all our immigrants.
In 1883 the arrivals from Ireland took
sudden jump. rising to sS,6+s. But 1t
was in 1871. the year of the great fam
ine.' that the exodus began in real
earnest. During eight years, from ls47
| to 1854. the immigration from Ireland
ran up to total of 1.l54.130.
Since then there has been a steady and
| enormous leakage of population-espe-

the curious relation of that much
esteemed vegetable the potato to the
population. and afterward to the depop-
ulation. OF the country.
We call It the Irish potato" but not
by reason OF its origin. Its earliest home
is now known to have been the little
archipelago Of Chloe. of the south
coast of Chile. These islands, remote
and inaccessible. owing to frequent
storms and swift ocean currents, are
rarely visited by ships. They are in
