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 I amounts brought by immigrants ■ varied considerably, from $20 to ! $10,000. One day we paid over the counter $100,000. Our line is now i msking 78 trip* per annum, and we I shall probably bring over 100^)00 passengers this current year.- We i have been complied to raise the rales 1 for Scandinavians—that is, to charge them land and tea teres to Hamburg. A great many Bohemians are now coming, ami Poles, not only Polish Jews, but also Roman Catholic.” IL 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, the passage fare for myself fimily cost $175.
