From 1821 to 1870 natives of Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia and Canada together contributed substantially nine-tenths of all the immigrants to this country, but since 1870 their proportion of the total number has steadily declinedfrom somewhat more than four-fifths for 1871-1880 to three-fourths for 1881-1890, about two-fifths for 1891-1900 and only a little more than one-fifth for 1901-1910. Immigrants from Austria-Hungary, Italy and Russia, cn the other hand, constituted less than 1 per cent of all the immigrants from 1821 to 1870, but since then their proportion has steadily increasedfrom about one-sixteenth for 1871-1880 to one-sixth for 1881-1890, one-half for 1891-1900 and very nearly two-thirds for 1901-1910.
