HUNDREDS OK THOUSANDS CANT
WRITE
How do theso Immigrants compare
I with Jhoso of tho past as to Illiteracy
I asked
They contain many more who can
not rend or write The immigration
from northern Europe from 1880 to 18S5
was extraordinarily well educated Of I
those from Denmark Norway and Swe
den wo rarely found ono who could
not read and wrlta only about I
3 per cent of the Scotch Irish and
English wren HlltorntPi and only 8 par I
cent of the Germans In contrast take
our Immigrants from 1500 to 1905 Ot I
the RittrlanH and AilstroHunsarlanfl
onu man In every tour or live was Hilt
pnto and of the Italians 43 per cent
could not read or write Poring that
time over 17C000 Italians landed here
and rnnro than 80000 of them were to
tally uneducated Our Scandinavian
Immigrants urn on the lioleths beat
educated
WHERE THEY 00
Where nrc those Immigrants now
going Mr Sargent I asked
The majority peck the large cities
nnd the various factory mining nnd In

I have come here to get an easier Job and
better wages New York state gets

DUI you must not think that all of
these Immigrants are laborers Mr
Sargent went on There are mnny
u bo engage In other businesses The
lltbrews for Instance often go Into
merchandising They are small sliop
keepers and also tailors and members
of the clothing trades The northern
Italians are usually better off thdn
those from about Naples and many ot
them become farmers Tho Germans
and Ilrltlsh go Into nil sorts of trades
and enterprises
I suppose mils of these Immigrants
were s urj poor
Yes the ntajoilty had little or noth
ing Nevcrthelesi tho total sum
brought In by them In 1905 amou > d
to more than J25000000
11 suppose the most of that sum
came from the English mid Germans
did It not 1
Yes proportionately so There Vero
60000 English and they brought about
3000000 whereas nearly us many Mag
yars brought lest than 700000 Tho
50000 Irish had almost a million and a
half while the more than double ns
many Jews had only about 300000
more The SOOOO Germans brought In
3000030 and more than double ns
many southern Italians had not ns
much Altogether there wcro less than
112000 Immigrants who had 8y0 or more
each and about 650000 who had less
than that amount The balance warn
chlldien oho had none at all

1S55 tho rise was comparatively steady
Then came the panic of 1S5T and the
rich war and tho number of immi
grant fell from over 400000 to lees than
100000 per annum As the war closed
the stream rose and gradually ap
proached 500040 when the panic of 1373
sent It down again It rose to almost
800000 In 18S2 and then becauie of an
other hard tli ra season again dropped
to tall jitlll her down after 1S3J The
present ln se begun with U99 when
It waR llttic over 200000 Tho Immi
grants wo admitted In 1905 were 1026
< 9S If we should have a season at fi
nancial troubles I have no doubt our
Immigration would ut once fall oft and
that we should laic many of the men
who are coming now
CONTRACT LABOR
Are not many of our Immigrants
brought In by the owners of mines and
factories Arc they not furnished with
money and Imported In violation of our
laws as to contract labor
It seems natural to think O8aht
the commissioner general of Immigra
tion but It If dinicult to prove iL
Take for Instance such a taco as fre
quently occurs In which 100 men more
or less cacti xuppllcd with tho sumo
amount of money ptntt at tho same
limo from ono small community In
Europe for the same port of the United
Htates and upon landing nil make their
way to ono locality where they go to
work for one factory or railroad would
you not think that those men were Im
ported under contract We do but we
find It almost Impossible to prevent It
Indeed I have little doubt but that

Would It not bo far better for the
country Mr Surgenl It those people
could hi ECiUlered throughout tho Unit
til Statoi
Very much so and 1 am doing all I
ran toward that cud Indeud I think
It unnld pay the national government
and the Individual state to Institute
nioitnirtK whuioby the Immigrants
might lie Induced to IIO where they will
to the most good fur themselves and
MIL country This work should begin In
tlw louiilltle from which thn Immi
grants come AH It Is now the Imml
Mantii ttho conjfpst our big cities havo
too liero because their friends who
am laboring In America have written
them They KO wlicre their frlcndH lire
and do nut know that lharu are hotter
lociiiiuin clBewhere They expeot to
and good Jobs and big pay waltlnr for
them the moment thny land In Now
York lacy often fall Into the Innds
nf ompluymuit jgom PJ and arc inM d
Tho national government might pre
sent the opportunities offered by differ
ent flections of tho United SlaleR to
wouldbu Immigrants abroad and alco
hnvn bureaus of Information at our
chief ports to show them where to go
upon landing The states which no
I much nerd Immigrants should sand
1 nfientH to foreign countries to drum
up the best classes of settlers and they I
might publish their Inducement In the
language of the countries from when + I
the Immigrants come I lIch such stale
should have a representative nt Now
York to rivet Immigrants as they land
at Hills Inland and he could If ho
would take them to see nn exhibition
of tho products of his stato on show
nearby Such men ns were especially
deilrahle at scttlcm might be helped
on their way
Today the south In suffering from a
labor famine continued Mr Sargent
Neverthfless of tho million who came
In Inut year only U4 PIT cent went
couth of Mason and Dlxons line Mary
land West Virginia and Florida each
received only about 0000 and Louisiana
5000 Texan could ue hundreds nf
thousand of settlers but she got only
1000 out of that million Tennessee did
not Rat 800 and Kentucky Htlll less
What should he done Is to divert the
streams of Immigration If possible to
different ports Why should not Louts
ani and Texas havo Immigrants land
Ing nt Now Orleans and Galvcstpn In
stead of New York
I suppose one at the grant forces
causing emigration from Europe Is thu
steamships
Yes They make from 120 to 330 out
of each man they bring IIO S th a At
lantic and sotno uliiglo steamers curry
a thousand or more at a time This
means receiving from J10 000 to J 10000
from that Konrco for a single voyage
Every steamship company has Its
agontu scattered throughout Kurope
itninunliig up such custom School
tPArhin and IOal prortchsrs may re
oolvn it small per cent of the pasiaK
money for Iach parson they Induce to
go abroad and there arc also rtinnerH
In eastern and southern Kuropo who
go from city to city and from village to
Ullage for this purpose They tell
fairy tales nbout the prosperity of thrt
many Immigrants now In America and
of the opportunities wo offer to aliens
It Is by ouch means that paupers nnd
dl n eiBcd perilous arc Induced to maku
the Journey only to find that they are
shipped bock upon landing
° As to the Importation of undesirable
characters the commlfsloner general
continued that Is largely prevented
now by our law We make each steam
er pay EI00 fine for every person
brought to our shores who Jews not
correspond vmi tho regulations of ad
mission and at the name time we force
the companies to carry persons hack
free of charge Tho lesult Is a steam
ship company will sometimes refuso to
take an Immigrant without ho deposits
1100 with It to cover the danger of this
fine
QUa PAtrpBU IMMIdUANTS
But do we not admit many paupers
Into the country
Wo try to prevent It said Mr Sar
gent And wo do nend many such
bark to Kurono rut car Just nbout
8000 were refused admission and mora
than 2000 were kept out because they
had contagious diseases As It IB now

I 44000 aliens In such places and of these
about idOOO are over 21 years old The
most of them came In through Now

LEATHER j
V
c
For many years our patrons have admired our line of x E
+
exquisite imported leather goods and our sales have qua
drupled because of the quality artistic style s finish and I
f
price We have just unpacked our latest importation 3
and have it on display in our south window and call the x
attention of all those who admire beautiful leather to in
spect the line before it is broken and to remember that
a
there are no duplicates except in black goods and that t
no house west of Chicago shows the same line we im
port direct from the factory in Germany and the factory
has no sample line in America The line is so famous in w
Europe that we give our order without seeing a sample
and the goods have always been beyond our expectations
a
in beauty quality and price j
The first argument in favor of this line of leather is
the quality style and finish but the most convincing is y
I
the price a
t
After years of experience we find we can retail this a
r
line of leather goods for what American Manufacturers
charge at wholesale for similar goods and we believe a
t
bag jewel case handkerchief case picture frame bridge
set or any one of the many other articles nicely packed
in a Leyson box would make a splendid Christmas gift
jx
All colors of leather and all shapes of bags at prices from
350 to 10000
