I do not believe they realize how great that evil is. The coming over the Canadian border is as nothing. If you will turn to the report of one of the Commissioners of Immigration. who went abroad when that Commission was sent to Europe some years ago. you will find that in one year the number of returning immigrants. in 1889. for example. was 111.000. There are thousands of men. chiefly from Italy. some from Poland. who come here. work on different kinds of work during the summer. and go back in the autumn to their own countries. carrying their wages with them. They buy return tickets at a very low price.
