Therefore. if the number of our people increase. and their pecuniary ability increases with their numbers. their consumption must increase in a corresponding ratio. We are increasing in population rapidly. We are receiving a half million annually by immigration. In a recent article on this subject in the London Economist it is estimated thatthese immigrants bring to the United States annually $500.000.000. What is the cause of this vast tide that is pouring upon our shores? The author of the article answers that they are flying from the vast national debts that are pressing upon the people of Europe. and the prosperity of our country invites them to come as to a house of refuge.
