The South Atlantic States engaged 52.418 men. the Middle States.14.981 men. the Pacific States and Territories. 16.803. (See Appendix D.) I insert the table (A) at the close of my remarks. I insert also (B) a letter from the Commissioner of Fisheries with his estimate for 1886. and (C) a table from the census of 1880. From these it will seem probable that the truth is somewhere between the Massachusetts population and fisheries census. The proportion of American fishermen to foreigners. as it appears in each of them. is sufficient for my purpose. It is safe to say that a large proportion of those not as yet naturalized will be naturalized. They have little attachment left for the British flag. President Cleveland need be under no apprehension.
