Wealth by Immigration.

In 1866 the oommiasioners of immi-

igtation in New York examined every ; menus, and it was ascertained that tho { average cash of each of the 14:1,342 ar- | riving that year was 888.08. But It snb-

itly appeared that many immigrants, not understanding the object of this inquiry, were careful not to report the fnll amount of their meana. Mr. Knapp, therefore, estimated the average amount of money Imraght by each immigrant at $100, and other personal property at 360; total, 3150. This eatimale is behoved by many to be beyond tho facte, and Dr. Young estimates the average amount brought by each at 380. Assuming that tha 432,646 aliens who arrived in the United Btstec in 1873, an average of $80 each, it will be seen that the immigration of that year added 333,803,600 to tho wealth of the country.' Applying the same calculation to total nnmbcr of aliens arriving, with - intention of remaining,, from tho formation of the government' to the be- ' 1874, and the result ia about im.000,000u the total amount oon- " uted by immigration to the wraith be country sinoo Its origin. But tho lomio value of the Immigrant, ing from the addition to the industrial and intellectual reaouroee of tbe country, Is still greater. Dr. Young makes the average capital of each immigrant 3800, At this rate, the immigration to tbo United Stales in 1873 added about 3338,000,000 to the national wraith, while tho increase from this source sinoo the formation of the government ia abont 37.125.700,000.
