TABLE 23.—Per cent of foreign-born in the total male population 21 years of age or over of specified States: 1890 and 1900.

[blocks in formation]

States in which at least 10 per cent of the total male population 21 years of age or over in 1900 was foreign-born.

The four States having the highest percentages of foreign-born in the total male population of voting age are North Dakota (58.7 per cent), Minnesota (51.5 per cent), Wisconsin (45.1 per cent), and Montana (42.9 per cent), all these States touching the Canadian border between the Rocky Mountains and Lake Michigan. The States with the largest numbers of foreign-born of voting age are New York with 838,136, Pennsylvania with 487,140, Illinois with 468,882, and Massachusetts with 347,731, these figures constituting 38.4, 26.8, 33.5, and 41.2 per cent of the total male populations of voting age in the respective States. The States with the lowest percentages are generally in the South or Middle West.

Comparing 1900 with 1890 it will be seen that decreases in the per cent of foreign-born are the rule, increases occurring in only six States, viz, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Maine.

The table next presented shows the per cents naturalized or having first papers in the foreign-born population 21 years of age or over of specified States.

a States in which at least 10 per cent of the total male population 21 years of age or over in 1900 was foreign-born. The ranking of the States is according to the percentage of the foreign-born either naturalized or having first papers in 1900.

The five States which rank highest in the proportion of the foreignborn male population of voting age having either first or second naturalization papers are Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the two. Dakotas. All these States are in the northwest, and the proportion having either first or second papers is over 75 per cent of the foreign-born males of voting age in each State. The next ten States in order (including the District of Columbia) have percentages ranging from 70 in Maryland to 75.3 in Nebraska, eight of these ten being in the West or Middle West. The next five States in order are Rocky Mountain States in the northwest, and the proportions having either first or second papers range from 65 per cent in Washington to 69.5 per cent in Montana. The percentages of the remaining States range from 36.3 in Maine to 64.6 in New York, all of these with the exception of Delaware being either in the North Atlantic division, which comprises the great majority of recent immigrants, or in those sections in which the Chinese or Mexicans are present in large proportions.

The following table shows the per cent of foreign-born in the male population 21 years of age or over of specified States and cities, 1890 and 1900:

TABLE 25.-Per cent of foreign-born in the male population 21 years of age or over of specified States and cities: 1890 and 1900.

[blocks in formation]

Includes all cities with a population of 25,000 or over in which at least 45 per cent of the total male population 21 years of age or over in 1900 was foreign-born. All States included which have cities of this

class.

Of all males of voting age in the city of Fall River, Mass., in 1900, 66.4 per cent were foreign-born (66.9 per cent in 1890), this being a higher proportion than in any other city in the United States, the next highest being in Passaic, N. J., where it was 65.1 per cent. Among the largest cities New York stands high with 54.3 per cent (60.2 per cent in 1890), Milwaukee had 54 per cent (64.3 per cent in 1890), Chicago 53.6 per cent (59.9 per cent in 1890), and San Francisco 51.7 per cent (64.4 per cent in 1890).

Throughout the West decreases in proportion of foreign-born in the total population of voting age during the decade are conspicuous. In the eastern States of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania the change was less than 1 per cent either way, while in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut there were noteworthy increases during the decade.

The following table shows the percentages naturalized and having first papers in the foreign-born male population 21 years of age or over of specified States and cities, in 1890 and 1900:

Includes all cities with a population of 25.000 or over in which at least 45 per cent of the total male population 21 years of age or over in 1900 was foreign-born. All States included which have cities of this class.

In Massachusetts 43.5 per cent of the total foreign-born male population 21 years of age or over are naturalized, and in the other specified States in the North Atlantic division it may be said that generally about one-half of the total are naturalized, New York standing highest with 57.5 per cent. Throughout the Middle and Northwest the per cent naturalized ranges generally between 60 and 70, except in Wisconsin, where the per cent naturalized is only 47. However, Wisconsin has a conspicuously large proportion of persons having first papers only, or 30 per cent, this peculiarity being explained in some measure by the Wisconsin voting laws, under which any immigrant may vote in a State election who has taken out first papers and resided in the State a year, while only first papers and ten days of residence are required for suffrage in city elections.

On the Pacific coast a little over one-half are naturalized, a slight increase being general since 1890.
