BOSTON POST, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1891 THE FOREIGN FLOOD The Immigration to This Country During Seventy Years A TOTAL OF FIFTEEN MILLIONS Have Arrived Since 1870 and One-third Since 1880 EUSH FEOM ITALY AND HUNGARY Germany Has Given Us the Most, With Ireland Close Behind PROPORTIONS OF SEX AND AGE Washington, July to the Post.J— One of the most interesting reports which has come from a Government bureau in recent years, and one peculiarly appropriate to the present discussion of immigration matters, is about to be issued by the Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department. The report, as stated in Post, will relate to the immigration into th) United States during the seventy years from 1820 to 1890, and has been prepared by Major Brock, the chief of the bureau, with a skill clearness which he has derived from his natural atitude and his long newspaper training. A report on this subject was issu id by the Bureau of Statistics early in 1888, but it presented no analysis or summary of the dreary pages of tables which it contained, and was much less adapted for popular use than the one which is about to appear. Major Brock is an ardent advocate of putting facts in such shape as to attract attention and to be easUy referred to, and he has carried his idea out in the report which he is preparing. All the facts which are presented below are set forth in readable form in his introduction to the tabular matter, and the tables are to be printed as fully as befoie for the information of those who seek more minute details.

No official record of immigration to this country was kept prior to 1820, but it is estimated by cood authority that the arrivals from the close of the Revolutionary War up to 1820 were about 225,000. The arrivals from 1821 up to the close ot the fiscal year 1890, amounted in the aggregate to 15,641,688. The arrivals from 1821 to I860 were from 1831 to 1840, from 1841 to 1850, from 1851 to 1860, from 1861 to 1870, from 1871 lo 1880, from 1881 to 1890, 5,176,212. There was a slight failing off in the movement towards this country from 1861 to 1870, as compared with the prior decade. This Colonel Brock attributes to the fact that the Civil War was raging.

The decline began, however, in 1858, and continued during 1859 and 1860, immigration being at the minimum in 1861 and 1862, when the arrivals were respectively 89,724 and 89,007. After the termination oiE the war, immigration immediately increased, and has continued to CTow in extent and volume. During the last decade from 1881 to 1890, inclusive, there has been a remarkable increase in immigration, reaching the aggregate of 5,176,212 for the ten years, or a yearly average of 517,621, amounting to 33.08 per cent of the entire arrivals in the United States since 1820. The number of immigrants arriving during the two decades from 1871 to 1890, inclusive, was 8,120,907, or 51.92 per cent of the total arrivals from 1821 to 1890. These totals do not include arrivals from the British North American possessions and Mexico since July 1, 1885, of which there is no available record, th re being no law providing for the collecting of the statistics of immigration from these sections.

During the entire period from 1820 to 1890, Inclusive, the greater portion of this foreign population has come from Europe. This proportion has increased from 68.89 per cent of the whole immigration in the decade from 1821 to 1830, to 91.67 per cent kx the last decade from 1881 to 1890. Ill the early history of the immigration movement, while nearly all the countries of Europe were represented to some extent for tlie forty years from 1821 to 1860. over one- half of the entire immigration to this country was from England and Ireland, and the greater portion of this from Ireland. Since the latter date, from 1861 to 1890, inclusive, much the larger portion of the immigration from the Uni.ed Kingdom has been from England, and the flow of population from Germany, Norway and Sweden, Austria- llungary, Italy, Russia and Boland has greatly increased.

it will be interesting to note in this connection. the respective proportions of each of the leading uationalties of the grand aggregate of 15,641,688 immigrants that have come to the United States since 1820. Germany has furnished Ireland, 3.501,683; England, British North American pos.sessions, Norway and Austria-Hungary, Italy, Finance, Russia and Poland. Scotland, China, 292,578, Switzerland, Denmark, ail others, 606.006. There has been a constant increase of immigration from nearly all countries.

The exceptions are France and China. During the decade from 1871 to 1880 the total immigration from France to the United States was 73,301 and in the past ten years from 1881 to 1890 the immigration was 51,420, a falling off of 21,881, or a decrease of 29.85 per The immigration from China reached its maximum in the years from 1871 to 1880, inclusive, when it amounted to 122,436. During the period from 1881 to 1890 it amounted to 60,641, a decrease of 61,795, or 50.47 per cent. It should be said further that the law restricting Chinese immigration did not go into eft'ect until Aug. 6, 1882.

and that 51,469 immigrants arrived from China during the years 1881 and 1882, and consetjuently only 9172 Chinese immigrants are reported for the eight years since 1882, and 8031 of these arrived in 1882. Of this latter number 6613 came in July. The large immigration from ioreign countries to the United States from 1881 to 1890 presents some interesting features not only of numbers but of nationality, sox and occupation. The number arriving each year of the decade ha.s been laige, but has seemed to follow no ratio oi increase or decrease, and it is not an easy task to trace tlio cause of this iiregulanty, unless it be due to circumstances or local causes existing in the several countries from whii this iinnii- gr.ation has flowed. Doubtless the moving cause of this large and Increasing Flow of luimigration to the United States is due to the decided advantages which the different portions of the United Statss offer to the people of many countries for an improvement in their conditions, such as more steady employ ment at more remunerative wages, and better facilities for procuring homes and greater personal and political freedom.

The year of the largest immigration was theyear ending June 30, 1882, when the number of immigrants that arrived at our ports was 788,992. This is much the largest influx of foreign immigration of any year in the history of the Government. The next largest Tcilaroe was in 1881, when the number was 669,431. The other years of the decade were as follows: 1883, 1884, 1885, 395.346; 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890,455,302. During the past ten years ending June 30, from 1881 to 1890, inclusive, the total foreign immigration to the United not including arrivals from Mexico and British American pose.saions, of which there is no record, has been 5,246,613, or about one- 1 bird of the total immigration to this country for the whole seven decades since 1 820.

This immigration during the same decade has been from the respective countries as follows: Germany, Ireland, England, Sweden and Norway, Italy, Russia and Poland, 265,088 Austria-Hungary, Scotland, Hungary, Peu- mark, Switzerland, China, 61,711 Netherlands, 53.701 France, Belgium, all others, 492,964. There has been a decided increase from year to year, during the decade, in the number of immigrants from Italy, Austria-Hungary find Russia. During the fiscal year 1881, the immigration from Italy to the United Stat was 15,401. There has been an irregular increase since up to the fiscal year 1890, when the total immigration to the United States was 52,003. This increase has continued into 1891.

as the immigration for the ten months ending April 30 shows a total of 51,153 as against 34,310 for the corresponding ten mouths of 1890. The immigration from Austria (except Hungary) in 1881 was 21,109, and in 1890, 34,137. The increase of immigration from Hungary during the ten yeais has been quite regular aud very large. During the fiscal year 1881 it amounted to 6826. and during the fiscal y--ar 1890 it was 22,062.

During the ten months ending April 30, 1891, the immigration from Hungary has been 22,496, as compared with 16.036 for the corresponding ten mouths of 1890. From Russia and Poland there is the same marked and steady increase since 1881, (Inrmg w'hich year it was 10,655, and during 1 890 it amounted to 46,671. During the ten months of the fiscal year 1891, ending April 30, the immigration from Russia was .53.350, as compared with 30,065 same period of 1890. The immigration from all conntries during the ten months mentioned of the fiscal year 1891 was 401,238, as compared with 318,615 for the corresponding period ot There has been a gradual decrease of the immigration from Geiinany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. From England, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden and Norway, Denmark, France and Belgium there has been a stea ly flow of iinmigiation that has not varied much, showing little increase or decline from year to year.

Of the total number of immigrants into the United States during the past ten fisciil years, 3,205,911 or 61.10 per tent were males, 2,040,702 or 38.90 per cent were females, and 1,121.499 or 21,4 per cent were under 15 years of age. During the ten years 51 per cent of the immigration from Ireland was male and 49 per cent was female. From Germany 836,290, or 57.6 per cent were males and 616,680 or 42.4 per cent were females. From England, Sweden, Norway and Scotland, 61 per cent were males. From Hupgavy there were 94,243, or 73.8 per cent were males, and 33,438 or 26.2 per cent were females, and from Italy there is the largest disparity of sexes.

During the ten years mentioned 243,923 or 79.4 percent of the immigrants from Italy were males and 63,386, or 20.6 per cent were females. Immigrants by Sexes. In the following table will appear more fully a statement of the number and per cent of the sexes of the immigration from the leading countries of Europe daring the decade ending with 1890: OS'!

When considered as to uation- aiities, it appears that Hungary and Italy Lrnish the largest percentage of immigrants between the ages of 15 and 40 years, the same being, respectively, 74.1 and 69.1 per cent. Italy at the same time furnishes much the largest percentage of immigrants to this country who were over 40 years of age, this proportion being 15.5 per cent, while the average per cent of all other countries was 10.5.

This would indicate that Italy furnishes the largest percentage of immigrants who have pas.sed the prime ot life. The next highest percentage to those above the age of 40 years is in the arrivals from Austria, where this proportion of its immigrants was 11.6 per cent. The lowest per nt of those above the ago of 40 years is in the immigration from Ireland, where it was 7.3 per cent of the total. Ireland furnishes the highest per cent, viz: 78.6 of immigrants between the ages of 15 and 40 years. The highest percentage of children, or those under 15 years of age, appears in the immigration from Germany, where the per cent was 26.6: and the lowest 14.7 per cent, was in the immigration from Hungary.

Ages of the Immigrants. These comparisons of age.s and percentages of the same, in the immigration from the leading countries of Europe, appear more fully in the following table: Table showing the number of immigrants under 15 years, between 15 and 40 years, and over 40 years, with the percentage of total number arrived from the below mentioned countries, during ten years from 1881 to 1890, inclusive: Couu- Under 15 From 15 vcars Over 40 try. years. to 40 years.years.

A further analysis of the character, as well 39.63 per cent of the total arrivals, and this class includes in the order of their number: laborers, farmers, servants and merchants. Much the larger class, and which represent 47.34 per cent of all, is made up of those who have no occupations. If to this were added those who do no not state their occupations, there is a total of 2,600,061, or 49.56 par cent of the whole, who are unskilled and untrained to pursue any avocation, and are probably unprepared to contribute much of industry, experience or ability to the welfare of the commanities of which they become a part. It will be seen, however, that of this total 2,600,061 who give no occupation, 1,767,284 are ifemales, and 537,007 were under 15 years of age.

There were 832,777 males who had no occupation, or none stated, and of those 579,715 were under 15 years of age, and 253,062 represent males over 15 years of aee who have no occupations, or a yearly average of 25,306. lu considering the immigration to the United States from foreign countries, it is a matter of surprise that so many nationalities, representing nearly, if not qnite, all the conntries, races aud languages of the globe, have helped to swell the great flow of population to the United States. When arranged by groups of countries, it will be found that during the twenty-two years, from 1869 to Europe baa furnished to this great tide of immigration, Asia, 220 977; Africa, 769; America. Islands of the Atlantic, Islands of the Pacific, 23,524, and all other countries, 2875. Of the countries of Asia, Arabia has furnished (543immigrants; Armenia, 981; China India, 459; Japan, 2530; Persia, 48; Turkey in Asia, 2289; other parts of Asia, 501.

Africa has furnished the least of all, and only 769 from the whole continent. South America has sent 3582. The islands of the Atlantic have sent include the Azores 15,179, Bermuda 768, Cape Verde 549, other islands 233; and the islands of the Pacific include Australia 16,872, Hawaiian Islands 6333, New Zealand 67, others of Pacific 251. Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands sent 1485, and there have been born at sea 1273. THE ENGLISH LABOR COMMISSION.

HAMLIN Sudden Death of the First Republican Vice-President FORTY-SEVEN YEARS IN POLITICS A Notable and Unique Character in American History as the volume, of the foreign population which has come to the United States during the past ten fiscal years, will show that a very large proportion of this immigration is made up of not only unskilled laborers, but there li a still larger proportion of those who liave no definite occupations. This classification is as follows: Occupatlona. Males, Feniales. Total. Professional 1.749 614,553 25.859 540,411 245,810 2.079 11 Not 73,827 43.830 116,157 Withoutoccupaliou, 759.450 2,483.904 Total 2,040.702 6.246.»13 It will be observed that the professional embraces musicians, teachers, clergymen, artists, lawyers, physicians, is a very inconsiderable proportion, or ,051 per cent of the whole.

Those of skilled occupations. which class embraces forty or more difterent occupations, and those who have acquired trades by careful training and experience, such blacksmiths, carpenters, coopers, iron workers, machinists, printers, gardners, dressmakers, miners, tailors, also make up a very sm.all proportion of the total immigration. They, in fact, represent but 10.30 per cent of the whole number of immigrants. The two classes, professional and skilled occupations, combined, make 10.35 per cent of the wliole body of immigrants. The class of miscelianeous occapations is Soicalist Speakers Have a Show, and Irritate the Earl of Derby.

ILondon Despatch to the N. Y. The proceedings of the Royal Commission have so far read more like the record of an amateur debating society than anything else. Sensible men predicted that if the commissioners sat in open court the witnesses, in stead'of giving useful evidence, would make speeches and air fads. The prophecy has been amnly justified by the facts.

On Thursday for instance, the chief vfitness was Henry Quelch, the Socialist leader, known among his friends on account of his vitriolic eloquence as the queller. He made a series of speeches in most approved Hyde Park style, aud irritated the chairman. Lord Derby, almost to madness. It was probably the first time Quelch had met a lord, and he made the most of his opportunity, rolling off his tongue revolutionary rhetoric and economical heresies with prodigious prodigality. Had the orator been in Hyde Park Lord Derby coaid have run away or called a policeman to protect him.

but neither resource was open to him upon this occasion. Once only did his lordship manage to get a word edgeways, and Quelch promptly sat upon him with the perfectly true, if somewhat irrelevant remark: what do you know about it? never knocked about the river side looking for work lor three months with no grub in your Quelch was so satisfied with this performance that he submitted to be Questioned by the Rt. Hon. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. He wished, be said, the dtate to be the one and only employer with State farms.

Real liberty probably can only be found in the habited districts of Central uelch retired in the halo of this moonshine, giving Place to William Falvy, an aged, bent, white-haired, gray-facea man, who had worked in Loudon as a corn porter for over fifty years.

Falvy looked just the sort of man to sit still and answer he proved a veritable Tartar. Disirustin his unprepared oratorical powers. Falvy had brought with him a huge parcel nt manus cript, from which he read the harrowing details of apparently every accident to workmen which he had witnessed or heard of or read about during bis half century of daily toil. Now and then Falvy gave a glimmering of an intent to prove that these accidents were due to the use of labor-saving machinery, a thiiig accursed in his eves and to be abolished root and branch without delay. The reading was a long, weary recital of fractured skulls, smashed limbs and other horrors.

Lord Derby affier several vain attempts to confine Falvy to the qesiion, leaned back in his chair aud glared at the obstinate old corn porter. Two or three commissioners slunk out of the room and abandoned themselves to cooling Two or three went to sleep without an attempt at uisgnise, and the remainder strove, not very saccessfully. to abstain from yawning. These signs of inattention had not escaped old notice, aud the gathering gloom on his wrinkled brow should have warned Lord. Derby that a storm was coming; but this lordship.

although he had been somewhat dt.scon- certed by cavalier treatment of him, did not dream that such a common person would dare to commit more overt acts of dis-' respect toward her commissioner. The storm burst just wben Lord Derbf closed his eyes after a gallant effort to keep awake. He opened both optics very quickly and very widely; for Falvy, dashing his big hand upon the table before bim. roared out: "If you listen to me the good of my telling you and grabbing bis manuscript he arose to walk out of the room. In that supreme moment the Earl of poliienenss.

Scenes like these hava already convinced the majority of the commissioners of the wisdom of their decision to conduct the proceedings in public. The wituesses and some ot the commissioners manifest a strong disposition olay to the with the result that speeches take the place ot evidence, and the value of the inquiry is thus deteriorated.

and his wife and other members were at his side. Everything possible was done for him, but he passed away peacefully at 8:15 p.m. Mr. Hamlin had been perceptibly failing for a year, but seemed about as usual yesterday afternoon. Hannibal Hamlin was one of the last of the old anti-slavery generation of statesmen.

His first place in nublic service was that of a member of the Maine Legislature in 18.36, when Jackson wa.s President, aud his last was a diplomatic aDDointineut which he received at the hands of President Arthur and held until 1883. Among his colleagues when he first entered the Senate were Webster, Calhoun, Douglas. Crittenden. Keverdy Johnson, Cass. Benton, Jefferson Davis.

John P. Hale, William Allen and Corwin, Simon Cameron, Daniel S. Dickinson. John S. Dix aud Sam Houston.

In a later generation, almost all of whom he outlived also, were Seward, Chase, Fessenden. Sumner, Wilson. Slidell. Hamilton, Fish, Toombs. Wade and Andrew Johnson.

Hannibal Hamlin was born Aug. 27. 1809, in Paris. his father being Dr. Cyrus Hamlin.

who served as clerk of the courts and high sheriff of the county. He was the sixth and youngest son out of a family of seven children. He was nearly fitted for college at 16. when the health of an elder brother who was expected to carry on the farm, broke down, and he loft to study medicine. It was the custom that at least one of the sons should stay at home, and Hannibal gave up the idea of a course at college to go back to the farm.

After two hard work he left to study law in the office of his brother Elijah, Again he was brought back to the time by his death. His only means of support was the farm, and he went back to do his duty by her. working hard for more than two years. In the spring of 1830. just before coming of age.

Hamlin, company of Horatio King, afterward Frist Assistant Postmaster-General, bought on credit a Democratic paper published in Pans, called "The He worked at the case as well as at the desk. Alter a few months he sold out his interest to his partner, and began again the study of the law, afterwards entering the office of Fessenden, De BJoxs Fessenden of Portland. Many years later the younger member of this firm, W. P. Fessenden and Mr.

Hamlin represented Maine together in the United States Senate. He was admitted to the bar at 24 years of age, and after a snort residence in Hamden, a village near Bangor, he was elected to the Legislature by the Democrats. This was the beginning of his political career. He was elected to five successive Legislatures, and in the last three was Speaker of the House. In 1840 he ran for Congress.

This was the Harrison year, aud he was defeated. In election haviag been postponea year because of a new ran again aud won. He was reelected in 1844, aud in this Congress was made chairman ot the Committee on Elections aud a member of the Committee on Naval Affairs. He early made known from bis seat in the House his anti-slavery views, and he used to tell how Jolm Quincy Aaams. at the close of his first speech on that subject, held out his hands, saying, "Light breaketh in the East, sir; light breaketh in the Mr.

Hamlin, returning home at the end of this Congress, 1847. was at once elected by his town as a Representative in the Legislature. At this time it became necessary to elect a United States Senator. Hamlin was a candidate, and was defeated by only vote. He lost this by a joke.

Years before, wben he was Speaker, there was a member who was sensitive upon the subject of approaching baldness, and carefully arranged every available hair to cover as much scalp as possible. Hamlin, beingina joking mood one day, culled this member up. aud said: fellow. 1 just wanted to tell you that got one of your hairs crossed over the The member was angry and remained so. He was a member of the State Senate when Mr.

Hamlin was first a candidate for the United States Senate, and absolutely refused to vote for him, although one vole would have elected him. In 1848, however. Senator Fairchild died, and Mr. Hamlin was elected to serve the un- exnired term of four years in the Senate. As the years went by his views against the further extension of slavery became more widely known, if not more pronounced, and the result was that when he came up for ree eciiou in 1851 he encountered iho bitter hostility of the pro-slavery Democrats.

They refused him their support. although be was the caucus nominee. Repeated attempts were made to reach an election without sue- cess. Finally thirteen of the Free Soilers seeing that he was likely to be borne down for his adherence to principles which were dear to them, gave him their votes aud elected him. He continued to act in the Senate with the pariy, though opposing all projects for the extension of slavery.

With the passage of the Kansas-NebraBka bill in May. 1854, his connection with the Democraiic pariv practically ended, hut the occasion demanding his formal withdrawal from it did not seem to arise until ilie nomination of Buchanan in 1856 in Cincinnati, on a platform denying right of to with the "domestic institutions of the several and to control the Territories in the matter of He resigned his place as chairman of the Committee on Commerce, aud on June 12. 1856, took formal leave of his party in a speech in the Senate. The Republican party was just then coming into life and Senator Hamlin was nominated finvArnor tiv a sentiment- receiving over 18.000 majority over two opponents. On January 7.

he resigned his seat in the Senate, and the same day was inaugurated as Governor. Less than ten days afterward he was again elected Senator- aud on eb. 30 he resigned the office of Governor, taking Ins seat in the Senate on March 4- In I860 there was talk before the Chicago convention met of putting him on the ticket for Vice-President, and. not desiring the place- he exacted a pledge from the Maine delegates that they snould take him out of the list of candidates, if he should be proposed. But after the nomination of Lincoln for President he was nominated and persuaded to run The harmony that existed between Lincoln as President and Hamlin as Vice-President is said to have been remarkable.

There was much more than usual counsel between them and his advice was taken in regard to more than one Cabinet appointment. He was tn- stturaental in inducing Mr. Lincoln to order the organizing of negro regiments, and advised and Mr. Lincoln to issue his Emancipation Proclamation. Mr, Hamlin was not renominated wben lan- coln was.

1869. and continued in the place for twelve years. During that time, as before, he was rarely heard in the body. When he retired in 1881. after being a Senator twenty-five years in all.

it was because he felt that some younger man should have the place. Ihongh be bad been nearly half a century in public life, with unbounded opDoriuniiies for enriching himself, he went back to bis people with an income just sufficient to support himself and his family in a plain way. When he reached Bangor in March. 1881, a great reception was given to him by the citizens. But the end of his public career had not come even yet In October, 1881, President Arthnr appoinfed him Minister to Spain.

Mr. Hamlin held iho place umii early in 1883. when he resigned and sought a well-earned repose, having begun public life at 26, and being then nearly 74 years of age. Since 1883 Mr. Hamlin lived quietly at home.

He farmed and went fishing until a few years ago. He took an active nart in the campaign of 1884, but after tliat made only a few public appearances. The most notable occasion was at the last great reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic at Boston. A few weeks ago he made a speech at Bangor, saying that it was the last time that he should ever appear in public. Mr.

Hamlin leaves a widow and three sons, lie was married twice. His sons are General Oharies Hamlin of Baiigor, reporter of decisions of the Supreme Court of Maine; Hannibal Emery Hamlin of Ellsworth. the law artner of United States Senator Eugene lale and Frank Hamlin, a young lawyer of Chicago.

He was recently ordained in Brooklyn. The Hancock Congregational Society is the largest in town and has long been presided over by Mr. Porter.

Two men were seen to run away from the place just before the fire was discovered HOW BROOKLINE CELEBRATED. The Fourth of July celebration in Brookline consisted of an antique and horrible parade in the morning, entertain ment and a ball game between two nines of old-timers in laughable costumes, in the afternoon, and fireworks and a band concert in the evening. The parade was not up to the standard of those of former years, notwithstanding the lact that the cash prizes were more enticing, and the same may be said of the fireworks display.

The ball game was the redeeming feature, far excelling any previous contest of this sort. xt The building occupied by the Hose 1 and Engine 1 companies was the most tastefully decorated iu the town, and was awarded the prize of $10 as such.

The dead body of a man was found on the siaewalk at 353 Tremont street abont 2:46 yesterday morning, with a fractured skulL The body was given in charge of Undertaker and Medical Examiner Draper notified. From papers found upon the body it is supposed to be that of William E. Nelson, a telegraph operator on the Boston Maine railroad. It seems that Nelson had been around town during the evening aud had been drinking heavily with some companions. Two men were heard going upstairs by one of the tenants of the and a few moments after one of them returned and was heard to call for the other, who refusbd to come down.

The man who had come down left alone soon after, and a few hours later the body was found on the sidewalk, where the man is supposed to have fallen from the roof. There is a flat roof to the house and some feet below a slanting roof and it is thought that Nelson stepped off aud slid down the slanting roof, as some of the slates were broken and scratched and the copper coping ot the roof is bent where he struck it in his descent. How he came to go out on the roof or who his companion was is a mystery. Dr. Draper made a thorough examination and found that the head was badly crushed and that there were also internal injuries and he pronounced it a case of accidental death.
