These data having been obtained through the
custom-houses, they do not agree, to the num-
bers who arrived into the port Of New York dur
ing that year, with those shown in the Mayors
Office, by difference of 3,963. The same dis
crepancy may and undoubtedly does exist in refer
ence to all the places enumerated above. 1t will
be seen, also, to correspond with the differences
noticed in previous years. The above differs, in
deed, from that now actually found at the custom
house, for the particulars embodied in the Sc
cretary of States department, although purpor-
ing to have been derived from the first mentioned
source. While the custom-house exhibits the
number of passengers i'll 1886 at $4,000 the State
Department presents it at 56,57s, making the diff
ference 2,0l9.


1t would appear, according to the Secretarv's
report that there arrived into this port, in 1886,
more than half of the whole who arrived into the
United States, by difference of S,lO9, or more
than two-thirds by 5,2s5; !. e. while 46,57s ar
rived at New York, but 20,36l arrived at all other
places within the country. According to the facts
within the Mayors Office, however, which are un-
questionable evidence upon this point, and which
give the number as having arrived here in that
year at 60,54l and assuming the Secretary's re-
port as to other places to be correct, there were
within fraction T542) of Mree5ourths of The
whote who arrived at the port OF New York.
From this, it might appear, that few other parts
Of our country are affected by the multitudes of
foreigners who are continually pouring into our
city; but it should be understood that from this
city they are flooding the interior towns and the
far West. Were all to minge permanently with
our citizens, we should have had, since 1880, an
annual addition of more than $4,000, or with seven
years more than 700 900 souls, besides our nat,lr-
al increase, and the superaddton Of our own coun-
trymen.


think, with others, that the average numbers
of foreigners who have arrived into the United
States annually for the last few years may be
fairly estimated at 100000. Taking this estimate,
then, for data, since 1890, and we have added to
