An alarming; proportion of the H. 000,000 ‘foreign-born aliens, .<::'.ys the circular. are ret.ul'nillg to lfiurope. The New Y'orl~: Customhouse lautliorities announce that emigrants are carrying with them from £-£OO to £3OOO each in United States currency. ’l‘he astonishing statement is made in the circular that 1,300,000 aliens cannot be stopped from going. and that they will carry with them' nearly $00,000,000, or rt‘-Cur-fifths‘. of the total currency in circulation and in reserve in the United States. before the war. It is estimated that unless vigorous action is taken. over six million aliens may be lured abroad, tazrliing‘ with tlrein cash equal to the total present currency restourees of the Tfnited States.
