52 STATISTICS OF THE AMERICAN IRON TRADE FOR 1894. Immigration into the United States from 1789 to 1842 never exceeded 100,000 persons annually, and seldom came near that number. In the latter year 104,565 aliens arrived. In the next two years immigration declined below 100,000 aliens annually, but in the six succeeding fiscal years, ending on September 30, the arrivals rapidly increased, owing to the Irish famine, the revolutionary movements in various European countries, the demand in this country for labor to build railroads, and the discovery of gold in California. 'In the six fiscal years referred to the arrivals of aliens were as follows: 1845, 114,371; 1846, 154,- 416; 1847,234,968; 1848,226,527; 1849, 297,024 ; 1850, 310,004. The following table shows the annua! arrivals of alien passengers in the calendar years from 1851 to 1855; also the total number of immigrants alone who have arrived in the United States in the calendar years from 1856 to 1894, not counting immigrants from the British Possessions and Mexico since July, 1885. 1851 1852 1853 1854 1855 1856 1858 1859. 1860. 1861 11..1U i - 379,406 371,603 368,645 427,833 200,877 195,857 1862 1863 1864 1865 1866 1867 246,945 ', 1863 119,501 ' 1869 118,616 1870 150,237 j- 1871 89,724 j 1872 I milligram*.
