J MILUONS ARU BENT AUU0AI5
EVUHY V EAR.
It U estimated that the foreign born
population ol thin country aetids every
year to tu friends and relatives abroad
about tUieo hundred and llfty million
dollars, or nearly a million dollars a
<tay.
feople of foreign birth who have
emigrated to this country are con-
stantly vending money to their friend*
and relatives abroad, anil many Mend
their surplus funds for deposit to some
bank in thevokl Country," as they
usually teim their native land.
Many of these Immigrants borrow
money to pay their passage over here,
and their ilrst thought after becom-
ing located In tiiis country Is to earn
money sufficient to pay their debts
abroad. Very frequently a number of
f.imllies in some little village combine
their meagre savings of a life-time to
uend Home male member to tills coun-
try to make his fortune and prepare
t le way for the coming of those left
at home. As soon is he accumulates
some monty he sends It home and pres-
ently another bread-winner arrives
here to aaaiat in the earning of funds
to bring over those who have remained
on the other side. Thus a regular end-
less chain of remittances from Ameri-
ca to Europe results.
Most of these small remittances arc
sent abroad through ii system known
rs postal remittances, by which the
Actual forelcn currency of the country
when pnynu nt is to he made is deliv-
ered to the residence of t! e payee. Tills
system is In favor because of its sim-
plicity. since It avoids the trouble of
mailing a draft ot money order and
enables the payees abroad to obtain
their monev quickly. The greater pro-
portion of tills class of business Is
handled either directly or indirectly by
the American Express Company
through their numerous agents and
hank correspondents In this country
and abroad. Many banks and steamship
Agents receive money from their pat-
rons for remittance to foreign coun-
i?lvlri c their Ipts therefir,
nt-d then turn the money over to the
American K:;pr s Company for trans-
mission and delivery to the payees
abroad.
Although, ns stated above, n great
majority of tlj Immigrant* are very
poor, they nitur.il!> ..'.ways have a
small sum of money In their , .ifi
when they arrive In this country

ex hanKi of money business was con-
ducted by private linkers and • x-

foreigners were frequently taken nd

Il is a very interesting sight upon
ti e arrival at Ellis Island of a vessel
bringing In Immigrants from foreign

tives of t'nele Sam. They are led In-
