"That he could not ask the questions required by the " Government but had to arrive at the information as best ho could." I subjoin a report of a circumstance I found in a nowsj apcr (the Toronto Globe) which came into my hands while I was actually engaged in the Wet, in August last in making an enquiry into this matter. I extract the l.llowing from the telegraphic correspondence of that paper:— . " Detroit, Micu., lOth August. " Matthias Keefer writes to a local i.auer th'it on Thn,.

Of course it was impossible to collect it under such circum- stances as tho.o related in tho telegraphic correspondence which T have quoted B,t iftbe attempts to do 60 had been confined to actual immigrants, it is hard to „er^ ceivo how there could have been greater difficulty in collecting 50 cents for a tav than there is in collecting a Customs fee of 90 cent., very often wrung fr ,m poor' immigrants for making an entry of a little old tedding or other household cLts they may 1.3 takmg with th^m. Had this per capita tax of 60 cents continued to be levied at Poi L Huron, it would have affoidcd a somewhat .harp test of f ho extent of \h^ imm.graUon, as the persons who make and publish the«o statisti-s would not have been very likely to put half-a-dollar into the Treasury for every u,ut of exag- geration. "' = I mentioned in my Report of last year that I had ascertained on tho spot ther^ had been an enquiry by an United States official into the circumsfancos of thoLllega- toons contained in my Eeport of 1830. I have not been able to ascertain that the Eeport of that official has been permitted to «eo tho light; and yer, in the face of the indubitable facts which are herein stated, those grossly oxa.^gerated figures, wh.ch, if they were true, would imply a depopulating exodus from Oanada, are per- sistently, year after year, given to tho world on the authority of tho Treasury De- partment of the United States, and everywhere abroad widely republished and hurtfully used, to tho detriment of what may be called the immigration intoro«ts of Canada, as, .fit were a country for people to flee from in ^^.•,h an exodus, it could not be said to be tho most desirable one to emigrate to. It is in this, as I stated before, that the injustioo to Canadian interests, from these exaggerations, lies. There are other tests of criticism which may bo applied to thoso 'i ,nxres, which Mr.Nimmo has at his hands, for their correction, in that they aro found in United Statea records. For instance, tho United States Census of 1870 compared with that ot 1880. I subjoin as an Exhibit to this Report (marked B) an extract from those two Censuses of tho enumeration, in nineteen Western and South-Wo{ travel, ^nd that ,f an allowance of one-fourth of the whole annual total of 18.000 (if these figures are assumed) were made for the entries at Port Huron, it would give an avl age of immigration from Canada, at that point, at 4,500 a year, an average whicL nearly agrees with the differences between the ins and the o'^ts 'for the fst^J^^ yeais, as shown in my Report. «n« !f^^ ^^1 "' '"r ^PP''^^'"'*t« generalisation based upon figures of which every one an see the value at a glance. There are no means in existence by which Z .xact figures of this movement, that is of the emigration, immigration,'^.nd Iw gratxon on both sides of the frontier between the United States and Canada, can bL tween the ins and the outs on the routes of travel. , The proportion of the numbers of Canadian "nativities " to the population in the nineteen States referred to. in 1880, was 21 per thousand.

The total of all this immigration, not making an/allo;a.cet; tIh''! r """'' J^^-^ °»«de a most serious decrement in sixty years, is 592,304. h!!, T ^Ir,'' "'"^' ''""'*' °^ *^^^ ^«"^«« ^^"''^ ^«^« been in tho neighbor- 417,000. The Unxted States Census of 1880 gives the " nativities " from fhe same Provinces, that is, all British America, at 717,157. Any calculation which might be made upon Mr. Nimmo's figui^s of the total immigration from British America in sixty years would be very disturbing of any calculation that might be made to account for the same immigration as established by the United States Census. On the other hand.[the figures of the United States Census are equally disturbing of any confidence It 18 possible to place in the figures, at least those of recent years, published by Mr. Ifimmo relating to immigration into the United States at Port Huron. As tho figures of immigration of Mr. Nimmo for sixty years, have interest ia connection with this enquiry, I append them in Exhibit B. It is, of course, natural that two peoples inhabiting the same continent, havinjr the relations with each other that exist between Canada and the United States, with a very long line of frontier, should toavery large extent, intermingle ; and that there should be a constant flux and reflux of immigration and emigration, with an activity more or less great, arising from the incidents of times of prosperity and depression and the attractions of opening up new lands for settlement. It is impossible to make a study of the figures of the United States Census with- oat loing struck by what may be called two main facta : First, that the Canadians in the Western Spates are found most thickly settled in -those places where there have been new fands to open up within the last twenty years. This represents mainly the emigration which has taken place from Ontario. Second.-Wo find the next dense settlement of Canadians, on the authority of the United States Census, in the New England States; and this mainly represents What has been known as the Prench Canadian emigration from the Province of Quebec. The State of Massachusetts alone contains more than one-third of all tho Canadians represented to have settled in the New England or Middle States from Maine to Pennsylvai, ia. (See Exhibit C.) In this connection, on the other band, the ro-;irneof immigrant setUcrM in Canada, m connection with entries of settler's goods d.,r!«g the year 1882, is very important \ 10 } and suggestive.
