Gtatistical Classification of the Emi- grants—Their Numbers, Callings, Pe- cuniary Means and Prospects. German and American Speculators and Their Plans. By mail from Europe we have the following special feport on the subject of the emigrant exodus from Germany—so far as tho flow of population comes from ‘end throngh Prussia—to the United States, our corro- ‘@pondent furnishing most valuable details relative to the emigration via Hamburg and Bremen to pro- ‘Winces and districts from which the emigrants come, the professions and crades of the emigrants, their @utit, pecuniary means, mode of forwarding and ether points of international Interest, BERLIN, October 4, 1868, T™ compliance with your request for information ‘om the subject of German emigration, | thought it @esirable to obtain frst statistical data, and en- deavor afterwards to procure an insight mto the social bearing of the matter. Official information beimg considered in this and in most countries the best to be-had, we directed our inquiries tothe ‘Royal Prussian Statistical Bureau, whose chief, Privy @ouncillor Dr. Engel, at once expressed his entire readiness to furnish me with whatever mate- Tial within his reach, All due respect for statistical Jore, that useful ana interesting science from which Btates, trades and all other meu can derive the most tmportant information; but owing, probably, to the peculiar laws which have governed and still govern dn Prussia concerning emigration, its correct enu- Meration may be better obtained almost anywhere else than at the supposed fountain head—viz., the oMicial bureau—the figures of which, shortly to be referred to, deviate so uch from indisputable cal- ‘ulations derived from other sources that their value is equal to zero. It is obvious that Prussian tltizens, or rather subjects, as they are officially called, being depied the right of self expatriation, ‘try to quit the country without leave or license; con- ‘Sequently their enumeration here isa diMcnit mat- Yer. The same applies to all other continental gov- ernments, andtit may be justly supposed that ‘he greater the obstructions thrown in the ‘Way of emigration 80 much less correct dave been the returns, Such subjects espe- ‘elally who were desirous of going to non- Buropean countries have boen, and are still Yooked upon with bad grace; and though at times Some dull heads called it an advantage to get rid of Surplus population of poor people and elements of Political dissatisfaction, it did not, whenever large @umbers began to move, prevent the continental (governments from throwing, as it were instinctively, teli kinds of difficulties in their way, and of enacting ws to countercheck such exodus. We find that uring thé reign of Louls XIV. the French frontiers (were closely, watched to intercept emigrants, though (gaany thousand Protestants pade good their escape to other countries. An English law forbade vari- classes of mechanics, phrticulariy those working ‘woot, siik, ifon, &e., to leave the United Kingdom, vested fhe sovereign with the right of calling Beck, under penalty of confiscation of their goods fend chattels, those living abroad. A variety of (gmeans have been resorted to in Prussia to obstruct land counteract emigration, or, at least, to keep it ‘under the thumb of the authorities. GERMAN BMIGRANT ASSOCIATIONS. Alt would lead too far from our subject if we were 80 follow up the ineffectual attempts to organize em- ee ae control it by forming emigrant assocta- with the view of colonizing foreign countries.

If we should be able to show that the real number of emigrants from Prussia far exceeds that given by the statistical bureau, it follows that the returns from the provincial and district governments ara incomplete, and that no record is made of large num- bers which k pamper i kes the country. As the port regulations hitherto strictly enforced, must have much assisted in obtaining the census of emigration, it is worthy of mention that the late law paiwed by the Reichstag of the North German Confederation having abolished passports within the North German Bund, the statistical control of tue emigration will be et: more dificult henceforth and correct enu- mersiion attainable only at the ports of departure and arrival, The well known statistician and author, Dr. Frantz, in his “Manna! of Statistics,” estimates the secret emigration from Prussia since 1837 to 1861 at 400,000 headg; forthe six years from 1856 to 1861 at 81,564 heads, By reference to the subjoined table it may be seen that during the lasv six years, from 1862 to 1867, secret emigration from Prussia has been at least 67,195 heads, although the harbors of Antwerp and Havre have not been taken into account:— SEORBY EMIGKATION FROM PRUSSIA FROM 1862 TO 1867. | Hamburg ‘Bremen ‘Prussian Harbor Harbor Opicial —Statistics.—]—Statistics.--—| —Statistics.-— ws leas] eS|ea] 2 | 22 5 3 = a 2 Es 5 &S Year) 43 | Bhs S)°s Ps St18 ig = ae i | Be i Be Ee | Ht ee F 1862..) 20,077) 16,806) 15,187) 14,925) 6,081) 4,447 1863..| 24,681] 18,366] 18,175] 17,946] 7,904] 4,537 1864,.| 25,055] 18,638! 27,701} 27,582| 7,561! 6,830 1805..| 42,650] 33,387( 44,606] 44,679] 10,630] 8,215 44,367| 37,603] 61,877| 61,802| 12,609] 8,026 42,54 13,971) 73,904, 7 208) Total |199,277!160,850! 421,6761240, = aralams As Bremen harbor statistics do not contam the birth place of emigrants previous to 1867, In that year there were Prussians from the old provimces, 21,766; from the new provinces, 10,303, Total, 82,069, We have assumed the Hamburg ratio.

Of this number emigrated to non-European countries 87,270, oF $3 per cent; to Furopean countries 38,332, or 17 per cent. Tho ‘lion's stars of those going to non-European countries was received by Am: arfos, to which land emigrated out of the avove 177,227, or 94.64 per cent. By reference to astatisticn| table covering a period of #ix years, from 1562 to 1967, we find that of the ag- gregate number of emigrants in column one—v9, 5x: there went to non-European countries 70,514, or 71 per cent; to European countries 29,075, or 29 per cent; and out of the former to North America, in- cluding Canada—column $6—07,763, or 89 per cent. We may now consider the provinces and districts whence this Prossian emigration haa core, whether the flow ia a permanent one from the diirer- ent regions or changeable, and whether it comes from the most populated districts or not.

We observe, indeed, that omergnia, for nsiance, having about @ third only of the average population of the iihenish province, sends nevertheless @ much greater number of emigrauts to America. The population of the middle group does not enter in*o this question.

OUTFIT OF EMIGRANTS. The ronte of e:igrants from the eastern provinees of the monarchy, from Prussia, Posen, Pomerania and Silesia, to the ports of Hamburg and Bremen is always through Berlin, Having gener: entered into a contract with the te of the Berlin for- warding tirms located in the different provincial dis- tricts, and to whom in order to secure their passage on board of @ sailing or steam vessel they have to pay a part of their fare—generally from five to ten thalers in advance—they report themselves here a few days previous to their departure, crowding the Offices of the agent firms, which at such days preseut g@acene of t bustie and commotion, of them are but scantily gee with money, but all are careful to save as much as they caf for the long voyage to the far offcountry.

PROUNIARY MBANS OF THE EMIGRANTS. Tt is obvious Unat the hei, shes leaving his father. land to seek a be'wr home has no interest in reveal- ing the size of his parse—to swell which previous to his departure be has stretched all nis energy—to any inquisitive glace or question, In fact, Lue emt- grants, kbowing that they are beset by a host of soarpers, are quite distrusiful and very little communicative on that particular question; while those large numbers who leave withoa permission from the authorities keep their lips sealed to every inquiry. We cau therefore approach the onicial statistica when they attempt to enhgnten us as to the amount of cash taken away by emi- grants with great caution only. The record of the Staustical Bureau of Prussia admits at the outset that the sutns taken away by emigrants were not known in ail cases, and cannot there ore always be correctly statod. In a set of tables covering the pertod fromm 1844 to 1859 we find the exact number of allemigrants (of course those oniy who le(t with permission) from and tmmigrants into every govern- ment district of the Kingdom, and also the amount of money in thelr possession, The chief of the Royal Statistical Burean, br. Engel, gives the figures as ew 4 were returned by tue district governmenta, adding that they ure both interesting and useful on the ground that uncertainty In the values was gov- erned PL certain regularity. Of 44,658 persons who linmigrated from 1844 to 1850 into Prussia, 31,006 persons have stated their means at 33 591,139 thalers, ‘ge | an ‘awe for each im- migrant of 1,078 thalers. if 225, emigrants dur- ing the same period, 183,332 persons have stated their means at 45,269,011 le: King an average for each emigrant of 262 thalers. the excess of the emigrants being 11,877, excess in favor of imrm says the statisti et ere grouped fo as to assume 1,075 thalers for tue aggre- gate number of immigrants and 42 ieee for wy nawmber of ayer we be recincea to 1,655,910 thalers.

Have they not taken the whole capital away with them which was spent in their matncenance and education? Estimated in money, the vrussian State has lost during these sixteen years, by an excess of 180,904 emigrants over imuit- grants, & sum of more than 180,000,000 thalers, It must be added that those who are resolved to try ther strength abroad gre by no means our weakest elements; their continuous stream may be compared to a well equipped ariny, which, leaving the country is, after having crossed the frontier, lost to Aship loaded with emigrants, says ir.

But as we are not treating of the of emigranta, but of the money tuey take em, It is insportant to consider the apparently at difference tn the average means of tmmigrants > Prussia and emigrants from Prussia. A statis- authority, with whom we conversed on agreed with us that cerlain 80- ions are 2 i computation, especially if aticinpted by government ofticers, and that, instead of Luzard- dig statements, it would often be better to make none at In order to throw some light on this great digerence between emigrants’ and immigrants’ lnoney We Inust stule that every tamigrant into Prussia who wishes to obials the right of settlement has ‘rst to submit to an Inquisitory process. Such has beeo the case not oaly daring the period of six- teen years upon which the foregoing official data are based, but it ls so L to the present day, very slighty modified only by the recent law of free loco- mo ion within the North German Confederation, Of the multitude of questions asked by the communal authorities and the government police the most pro- minent relate to the imumigrant’s means of support and the guarantee of himseif and family not becom- ing at any future day @ burden ty the Poor Commis- sioners, &c, As a new linmigrant ts always expect ed to give unconditional proof of posseuaing funds— a craftsman may show less than 8 tradcr and g trader less than & manufacturer or distiier—it Is no uncommon prpence to borrow stocs8 or railroad shares, which, after having been exhibited tothe exainining officer as the property of the immigrant, are returned again to the lender. It is thus not diMcult to understand why the goy- ernment statistics concerning the means of {umi- grants into Prussia, as returned by pouce and com- munal authorities, give a very high aver: dgure. AS to the emigrant, who, afver having sold his mova- bie aud fixed property, turns hig back on Prussia, the government hus no means of obiaining even ub approximate estimate of the conten:s of, his purse. Nor can any correct information on that head be obtained from the forwarding agents, their know- ledge being derived simply froin the siaouns of Prus- siah money offered them by thelr clieuta for ex- change into American coin. rer es of @ better Class, and those who have considerable means, are not likely to do their exchauge transactions at the ottice of the forwarding agent, but will appply to a reguiar banker; gome will purchase dralls, otuers take their Prussian bank notes with them. In short, there is no possibility of being accurate on this head. Thus wo see of the pecuniary Means of 16,706 eml- rants the average amount of casa per head to be less than 39 thalers; though out of 16,706 emigrants },043 are stated to have had meuns—being but y-Six per ce egate—w ule the gore ernuent returns give out of 2; AZTAUtS 184,’ persons with means; being eighty-one per cent ol the aggregate.

The Prussian law of May 7 and September 6, 1353, fixes the security of emigrant contractors—who can- not ply that trade without having previously ob- tained a couse—in the sam of ten thosaud thalers. Security in Prussia must ve furnished 1m cash or governmen: stocks, In the Hanse towns the security is a little over half that amount and bondsmen are taken as in the United States, If the emigrant con- tractor resides in & Prussian harbor, 1s a merchant or shipowuer aud forwards emigrants directly only (not by way of England), lus security may be reduced to five thousand thalers. A foreign contractor for emigrants is not allowed to transact business in Prussia except through an agent, who must he a Prussian and who may employ sub-ageuts. Ciief agents have to deposit one thonsand thalers security, sub-agents from three hundred to five hundred Licenses are given for oue year only, and if not revoked, be renewed from year to year. ‘The emigrant contractor, his chief and sub- agents have to abide by aset of very string ’nt in- structions at the risk of forfeiting their security. ‘rhey have to render to the police and district author- ities detailed accounts of their transacuuons, furuish Vouchers, copies of all contracts made with eml- grants, &c., aud must submit at all times to an in- spection of their books. ‘The right of prohibiting emigrants to be forwarded to certain countries is re- served to tue goveranicut, It may call up the cor- respondence bewween the contractor and chief agent, and may even forbid the display of posters announc- ing the agent’s business. It seems strange enough not to allow a party who has obtained a license aud given security to make known hts occupation. One would hardly think that In spite of these restrictions the emigrant agents have Much chance to tamper with and ch tueir clients; nor can this be said of regularly redited agents, of which there are seven i Us cily, it is nos to be doubted, however, that in the interior, ag also at the ports of embarkation, numerous sharpers are engaged In victuraizing emigrants, and through the Haiourg and Bremen Associations and the press (the Bremen Hnigrant Gazette and the Rudolstadt Gazetie) are doing their best to correct abuses. Such Cases are by Do means rare. Swindlers, pretending to be agents and oilering emigrants a p: e below the usuai rate, have often flecced them of several dollars per head, for which they handed them worth- less contracts, which fraud was not discovered by the victims until at the place of embarkation with barely spough money to carry them back to their native village. * Tae deception practised in this country tn the sale of spurious railway tickets to carry emigrants over the American railroads has at last attracted the at- tention of both the Prussian and Hanseatic govern- meuts, who saw ft to interdict the sale altogether under poneihy of One or imprisonment. Way the thing should hot be managed in a Way permitting an accredited and honest forwarding agent to book his assengers just as Well to St. Louis or Milwaukee as New York is not exactly apparent, Emigrants afier having made preliminary contracts Witu the sub-agenig iu the interior aud coming through here, wLere they report tiemselves to the chief agenis, and generaily settle the baiance of their fare, are beset by runuers, blackiegs and confidence men, who on “expedition days’ are posted in the vicinity of tue ollices, A clilef agent whom we visiled told us he could point out some of these rascals Whom he had had arrested more than once by ‘twue police, In consoqnence of the Leinnitz and similar trage- dies an ‘‘Association for the Protection of German Ewigrants” was founded in Beriin in tie month of March of the present year. The trustees being a privy{councililor, a baron, and some foruier govern- ment ofticiais, abd article 1 of the statute purporting “to caution people Irom a too hasiy resolve Of emi. gracing,” are circumstances not calculated to inspire @ prwrt much confidence. In article 2, howe gratuitous advice is oered to those who are deier- mWwed to emigrate, and volunteer members of the as- sociation all over North Germany are to stand by and waich over their interests. The essociation further claims to have stipulated with tae Hamburg ship- pers certain advantages to the emigrant, such as— First, no stowage of passengers in the deck beiow the water line; second, better water and provisions; turd, an approved physician on board of each emi- grant ship, a hospital room large enough for six per cent of the Whole nuraber of passengers, and In liew of the “mediciye chest’ a complete apothecary’s in- ventory; fourth, a thorough separation of the Bexes; also to have obiained the right from the slippers to examine all emigrant vessels; and, lastly, w lave mnade arrangements by which the emigraut’s com is chauged in Berlin at the Hanse towns at the current rate of exchange, thereby securing him agaiust loss. A particular feature of this association is the favor it has found with the government, by which it is ena- bled to select ita trustees througuonut te iuterior, calling them volunteers, Vertrauens-mdnner (men of contidence), who, of course, Teed not have license or give security, though they may, as volunicer agents of tiis philaathropical Verein, post up jacards intended for emigrants in spe, aud gnap etr fingers at section ten of the law of 1553, which tureatens with two hundred thalers Due or three inonths’ imprisonment any one who withont license enters into _—— contracts with emigrants or acts as agent fn making such contrac, or offers te give information concerning the forwarding of emigrants.
