The immigration front Europe to
this country this season has assumed
•uch phenomenal proportions as to
attract universal attenlidn. “Will it
increase?" and “Will it continue?”
are questions naturally naked by
people who have given but slight at
tention to the causes at this moment
in operation in nearly all European
countries to render it perfectly in
telligible. These questions are am
plified thus: “Why this extraordin
ary movement nt the present time?”
-Does It arise from economic causes
which amount almost to dire neces
sity?” “Is its origin in political re
pression and fear of military servi
tude?” “Do the immigrants come
because their ‘friends have sent for
them?’’’ “Is it mere desire to live
better and become richer than is
possible in the Old Word?” Or,
dually, “is it a mere mania—au in*
considerate step taken because so
many others have gone to the
West?” Most persons, after little
consideration, would say all these
causes have been at work; but, in
order to arrive at something more
definite than generalities, reporters
of the Bulletin were commissioned
to find out the individual and the
immediate causes which have induc
ed so vast a multitude of people of
all nationalities to leave their uative
tend; and the results of their in
vestigations are here epitomized.
The German Society of New York
is au institution which has done a
great deal to aid and advise Ger
man immigrants, and its officials are
peculiarly well qualified to impart
information as to the character of
tho present immigration. One of
these gentlemen snid, “There is no
mystery in the present exodus from
Germany. The principal causes are'
the overcrowding in that country
and the favoral reports which reach
there of abundant work and high
wages in the .United Staes. The
numerous class of farm laborers at
home have to work from morn till
night for a mere substance. These
and the small farmers form the bulk ■
of the immigrants.” In answer to a
question whether clerks and young
men without trades were not repre
sented, he said: “Yes. Very of.en
young men come here and tell us
they are Kavfieute, but I inform
them that if they hare money they
can be merchants if they choose, but
that otherwise they must turn their
hand to anything that offers. Aud
very generally they do so. Most
of them go West, and very few fall
as burthens on our hands. The pro
portion of families coming over it
large, and here it another reason for
leaving Germany. Fathers of large
families see no possibility of their
children becomiug independent.
Events it is, it tea struggle to sup- i
port them. The general idea oft
America, however, is that it is a
country where everybody eats meat'
three times a day. There is, there-1
fore, no apprehension as to the i
chances of at least earning a living. |
Many artisans are alto coming, for)
wage* have not risen iu Germany, i
while tho purchasing powers ofi
utouey is not what it used to be;;
nor does the farmer obtain more for j
his crops. But the emigration is not
a depletion of the faderland; it will
only give more elbow room to those
who remain behind. Should there
be a good harvest this year tu Cen
tral Europe, aa teems to be expected
there will probably be a great de
crease in the number coming here,
as the German farmer leaves his na
tive place unwillingly. It is a mis
take to suppose that the German |
immigrants come here very poor; i
the amount of money brought by
them may be safely pteoed at $20 per
head (including children). ;Some
young men coma to this office with
considerable drafts, some as big!) as
ten thousand” marks, and - go to
Texas aud other Western States to
term.”
Another German . gentleman
thought the emigration from Ger
many was something of mania, like j
tbe old-time California gold fever.
“Why,”said he, “the condition of
the farmers in Schleswig-Holstein,
which is a fine dairy country, is as
good as that of the avenge termer
here, and yet there is a stampede
from the province at present. It is
not from political causes at all.”
As the Secretary of the German I
Society thought that the money \
brought by the immigrants would
be a drain of a serious character,
which would very sooa tell, a visit
was paid to the banking house of
Knautb t Kuhne, who cash a great
number of tbe immigrants’’-drafts.
Cut referring to their books, the
cashier said that there bad beau a
large increase in that line of their
business, and that tbe number of
Swedes waa more than proportion
ately large. From avenges on over
fifty payments within ten days, it
was found that the average amount
of drafts was: For German,$155;
for Swedes, $70; for Swiss, the
average in March was $111 per
head. Taking several weeks for
Swiss end the average in 170
however, was but $86. It maj
be seen that $100 would be a fair
We have about two thousand agen
vies In Ihc West, and n great deal of
money is sent to Germany through
our hands for this purpose. The

counter $100,000. Our line is now

developments at castle garden-
severe MILITARY SERVICE—TAXES,
SEMITIC—COMPETITION—HARD WORE
AND LITTLE PAV.
Captain Biker, the Superinten
dent of the Labur Bureau of Castle
Garden, thinks, from the advices
which he received, that “the flood
of immigration is even yet hardly at
its height. At Mannheim there are
not means enough for forwarding
emigrants. They come from all
parts Germany, but principally
from Prussia. There were mechan
ics of every klud, as well as farm
laborers.’’ Daring the few- minutes
the reporter was mere, a bricklayer
was wanted, but none could be
found among the occupants of the
room. Tbe Bullet in was shown
telegraphic and other factory opera
tives. Tbe total number of persons
employed from the Bureau from
May 1st to 27th was 4,166 males and
936'females, or 5,152 persons.
The Hamburg aud Bremen lines
are making preparation* for i
creased emigration. New steamers
have been ordered. Tbe North Ger
man Loyd will put on its gigantic
new steamer, the “Elbe,” in the
middle of July. Up to that time all
the steerage room has been engaged
on both lines. Many intending emi
grants, in fact, are obliged to re
main at home at present nolt
colens for lack of conveyance. The
emigration is principally from East
Prussia, West Prussia and Posen,
and uext in order come Holstein,
the Northern part of tbe Prnssian
monarchy, and the mining districts
of Westpliulia and the Bhenish
provinces, Thuringia In Central Ger
many and finally iu the mountan-
ious districts of Southern Germany.
The German people are driven
out by the poverty which prevails
over tbe entire country, by the
small earnings, by severe military
service and by taxes. Tbe German
emigrants are gcucrslly well bnilt
strong and willing to work. There
is uo denying the fact that it is not
the worst element of Germany’s
working population which is now
coming here. The actual want of
good food also develops tbe idea of
“.VacA Amenta," and this, with the
first.favorable letter from a friend,
becomes a fact.
III.
THEIB OWN STORV.
The first ei decant Prussian
which the reporter interviewed was
a farmer and butcher (two in one)
From tbe neighborhood of Eisenach
(Thuringia). He sold his little farm
for 35 Prussian thalers ($2625) per
acre, and he intends to go to Chica
go. He had still some $300 Iu his
possession and showed a draft for
this amount. He left Germany be
cause of heavy taxes and the vexa
tions annoyances of military service.
He was also afraid that Germany
may be involved in another, war
and he did not like, to use his own
phrase, “to bring all his bones to
the market” (jeden knoehen zu mar
ket tragen). This man and his wife
are about thirl/ years of age and
both strong, and healthy people.
Butchers receive ,nt Eisenach trom
four to six marks (besides their
board) a week ($1 to $150). Busi
ness throughout the whole district is
bad, and the termers are complain
ing of damages to the seed by spring
frosts. Tbe only people who are
satisfied with their conitdion in the
town of Eisenach are the well paid
higher officials. The emmigration
is active not only in? Eisenach, but
in the district of Fuldea, especially
among the country people, .who are
obliged to sell their farms at the
low rate of from 35 to 40 Prussian
thalers ($26 to $30) per acre, al
though the soil is- trery fruitful in
that portiqn of Germany. The man
said most positively, “There was no
opposition to my emigration an the
part of the authorities and the pass
port was given me in due form.”
Along with him was *a young man
of 19 years who emigrated in order
not to be a soldier. He was an awl-
maker in Eisenach, cannot do any
thing else; bat from this very cir
cumstance is willieg to torn his
hand to anything in America.
Two young unmarried men from
Schleswig came to seek work as
term hands, orday laborers. One is
22 years old and was born at tbe vil
lage of Tria in Schleswig, where his
tether owns 63 morgen of land and
Scows. The other is about 35 yean,
and came from Kappeln (Schles
wig). He was a house servant, and
his wages were - 96 thalers ($72) per
annum, and board. His employer,
however, who had also a small
hotel, wonld only give him in future
76 Prussian thalers, and he left in
laborers haveal-
the district
and the owc-
value, the crops
tally turn out well, and, in the
count of poor wages.
.A respectable looking, elderly
gentleman gave the following histo
ry of his “personal reasons” for emi
grating: “I come ftom Berlin,
where 1 have lived uninterrupted
ly since 1357 in which rear I re
turned from America with *30,000
in my possession. The present po
Iiticsl and sictel condition of the
Prussian metropolis ar* really tem-
ishing, and the sharp tooth of han
ger is gnawing their vitals In the
meantime, magnificent imperial
weddings are celebrated at the
Prnssian Court—which cost an
enormous snm of money, and this
comas principally from tbs pockets
of the poor dess.” (The gentleman
referred to the wedding festivities
of yonng Prince * William and the
Princess Victoria.) He weat on to
say: “I left Berlin because I wonld
lose again everything thatl brought
from America. My personal mis
fortunes, high taxes, and Urn Jew
ish money lenders are tbe reasons
for my coming here. My praeent
possessions amount to oily a few
hundred dollare, and with this I
must (pointing to hit wife and six
children) try to begin life again in
New York, for it is really nothing
else than a new departure; howev
er, I rely a great deal on the aid of
my children. (Four of them, three
toys and one girl, were grown up.)
In Berlin I speculated a good deal
iu house property, aud afterwards
had a wine store, but it did uot suc
ceed, and finally I tell into the
hands of German usurers (Wucher-
er) and lost about all I had, i
I had to come in tho steerage,

reasons a great many artisans are

‘Beriiogere’ do themselves.

he had nothing to say) has taken to

letters, insolent aud dictatorial, to
his “party,” is the most unhappy

has any friends we plead with them
to take charge of him, and save him
from raining a splendid fame, from
going down as at the last the poor
tool of dirty politicians, who, for
their own mean ends make a fool of
