Since then about 130,900 American settlers have entered, mostly from Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wiscon- ‘ sin. American interests are takingalarm, i and some of the railways are endeavour- ingto divert the stream to' the Southern and Sonthwesterly States. Nevertheless theprospects otarnsh toWesternCanada continuing in constantly increasing vol- ume are good. The Americans are admir- able pioneers, just the men to open up the region lying between the western boun- daryof Assinibois and the Rockies. Be-l tore he can obtain his patent the American I who settles on Government lsndmust take Since Confederation we have spent $8750,000 on the Immigration service. Large expenditures began in 1872, the larâ€" gest being in 1384,when it reached$500,000. For years Parliament lived in a tool’s para. disc, the returns of the yearly arrivals in- cluding thousands who came out as tour- ists or commercial agents; even persons who landed at Canadian ports en route to ‘ the United States were counted. The result was that each decennial census showed a wide divergence between the number of persons of European birth re- ported as being in the country and the number actually in it. The system, in short, was an impostnre. Under Mr. Sif- ton’s administration there is every reason to believe that we are getting full value for our money. Care is taken to distin- guish between the transient visitor and the man who comes here for the pm of taking up land or getting into sane other permanent occupation. Acco to British returns, emigration to British North America for every ten year period from 1861 to 1900 was as follows :â€" 1860-70 .......................... 195,000 1871-80 ........ . .................. 232, 000 1881- 90 ........................... 395, 000 1891- 1900... .... 3 ’8, 000 1 1 I These figures do not altogether agree 1 with those of the department. They are t sufficiently accurate,however, to show that l there was a considerable decline in the x last period by comparison with its prede- u cessor. Since 1900 emigration from the t United Kingdom to Canada has been in- v creasing, the number of arrivals during 3 the last calendar year being over 50,000. t There is reason to believe that the increase v will be maintained for a long time to 0 come, Canada boing now better known in in Britain than ever before. It would not p be surprisingif the aggregate arrivals for g p the ten year period ending 1910 were in 01 excess of 600, 000. l Wat-mm“ M39. do not thirk 1t ,nacusmry :0 go into details to prove tho gmt mluo of Rosa Housing! to tha china! of ‘ ictoria County and the country north of us.

Whet is almost equelly important, 1 neither camp in England hes been furnish- I ed with en excure for meddling in the I tsrifl' controversies of Canada. The number of emigrants who hsve er- rived in Csnsds since 1897, counting British, Americsn, those from the contin- entsl countries of Europe, sud s11 others, is 370,000.
