When we contrast the totals. as in Massachusetts. we get inevitably to the conclusion that those muster rolls give no reliable information either of the total population or of its ancestry. Now. just a word about that. Here on the wall the Senator from North Dakota has put a chart which shows an immigration from Ireland in the decade beginning in 1820 of 54.000 persons. and in the next decade of 207.000. and in the decade which ended in 1.850 of 780.000. We all know there were lots of socalled ScotchIrish who were not Irish at all. who cane from King James colony there in Ulster. back in the previous century. They are all ascribed to Ireland.
