Emigration is one of the best remedies for distress that exist, for much of this distress is caused by over-population. The proportion of population to the square mile is larger in England and "Wales than in any other country in Europe, except Belgium. In the year 1884 Belgium had a population of 510 to the square mile; as against 389 in 1871, and 472 in 1885, in England and Wales. Italy comes next with 256 in 1884. London, moreover, contains a population which is twice as large as that of the whole of Denmark, or of Greece, or of Norway ; half as large again as that of Australasia ; larger than that of Holland or Switzerland ; and nearly as , large as that of Canada, with its gigantic area of 3,620,510 square miles. :, Emigration does not mean exile, still less compulsory exile ; it means the voluntary change of residence from one part of ^ the Queen's dominions to another, where former generations J of Englishmen have planted the same language, the same [ social order, the same freedom of speech, person, and religion I which we value so justly here. Emigration is recommended mainly to those only who, while willing to work, cannot find work to do. Those who are in good situations here had better be content and remain. Emigration increases our home capital and industries ; it is twice blest : it blesses him that goes and him that stays. Every Canadian requires £2 worth, and every Australian £8 worth of British products every year. We exported to British possessions in 1884 £88,303,634 worth of goods. British aettlers in the Colonies and United States sent, between 1848 and 1885, as a help to their friends at home, considerably more than £32,000,000. Emigration does not pauperise, it helps persons to help themselves. Weekly doles and hand-to-mouth charity are Uostly, destroy self-respect and desire of honest work, and do Iio permanent good. Emigration lifts a man once for all out pf his difficulties, and " sets his feet in a large room." The Handy Guide to Emigration. Emigration requires a stout heart, a broad back, and an honest hand. Paupers and criminals will be rightly refused by the Colonies. England must bear the weight of her own pauperism and crime. There are no workhouses in the Colonies ; loafers and drunkards will do better at home. Emigration is specially successful in the case of the young. Old emigrants make bad colonists. Several colonies refuse to give cheap passages to persons over thirty-five years of age. Life in the bush, or on the prairie, is very hard and solitary work, especially for women. No one should attempt it who is not full of young blood, and physically strong. Emigration does not remove persons from religious or educational influences. Both religion and education are care- fully attended to in the Colonies. Persons who never thought of entering a church in England will drive ten or fifteen miles to a service across the Canadian prairies. In some of the wilder parts, however, of the Colonies, clergymen and mis- sionaries are unhappily too scarce, for settlers push on faster than these can follow. More funds, more workers are sorely needed. Meanwhile let us be thankful that even to these advanced settlers emigration has opened a door of escape from vile surroundings and tremendous temptations, to lands where air is pure, and sky blue, and life teems with bound- less possibilities of good. Emigration should be directed to the Colonies, ( 1 ) for they offer greater advantages than other countries ; (2) colonists consume far more British produce than foreigners, or, in other words, trade follows the flag ; (3) no one should volun- tarily cease to be a British subject ; (4) emigration to foreign countries increases their power and reduces our own ; (o) it pro- motes the growth, wealth, and stability of the British Empire.

EMIGRATION NOTES. 1. 264,385 persons emigrated in 1885, as against 303,901 in 1884. Of these 207,644 were British and Irish, of whom 137,687 went to the U.S.A., 19,838 to Canada, and 39,395 to Australia. The number of those who emigrate to the U.S.A. instead of the Colonies is far too large. 2. Debate on Emigration in the House of Lords, March 28, 1884. — Lord Carnarvon supported the principle and necessity ' of State assistance in emigration; Lord Derby admitted the principle, but doubted the necessity. 3. An important deputation from the Central Emigration Society, managers of industrial schools, and others, was I introduced to the Home Secretary (Sir Eichard Cross) by Mr. Eankin, M.P. (Chairman C.E.S.), on July 14, 1885. The object of the deputation was to urge the desirability of the Government making a grant of money for the emigration of suitable children from such voluntary training homes and certified industrial schools as applied for it. The Home Secretary replied that he had been already communicating ^with the Colonial Secretary on the subject. 4. The following important passage in the Eeport of the eformatories and Industrial ISchools Commissioners, which as published in 1884, refers to the disposal of chHdren by imigration : '§41. In our opinion emigration, which is already resorted to by managers for the dispo?, il of children, might bo advan- tageously used to a much greater extent than at present. In toy arrangements to facilitate the emigration of children of this class, three points must be borne in mind : •I. The just objections of colonies to the emigration of 6 The Sandy Guide to Emigration. those whose character and antecedents make it probable that they will become paupers or criminals; and the consequent obligation, resting on those who send out children, to select them with judgment. 'II. The advantage of a preparatory training for such children before their emigration, except in the case of very young children received in voluntary homes duly provided for them. ' III. The necessity of very careful arrangements for their inspection and supervision in their new country. ' Subject to these considerations, we strongly recommend the adoption of emigration in suitable cases.' 5. The Commissioners of inquiry into the condition of the Crofters and Cottars in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland report (1884) : 'We are of opinion that a resort to emigration is unavoidable.' They ' recognise the very great advantage there would be in promoting it by means of State loans, under the direct control of a separate Government Agency in Scotland.' And 'they think it important that assisted emigration should be placed under the immediate direction of officers of the Imperial Government rather than under the control of local authorities.' (Eeport, pp. 97 — 108.) 6. An Emigration Conference has been convened by the Central Emigration Society, at the invitation of the Eoyal Commission for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, at the Exhibition Buildings, on the 24th and 25th June, 1886. GENERAL INFORMATION. 1. If no money is forthcoming to pay an emigrant's pas- sage, it is always advisable to apply to the Guardians of his parish for assistance, to enable him to emigrate. Paupers, except in special suitable cases, should never be sent out — the Colonies rightly refuse to receive them ; poor persons who are not paupers often make excellent emigrants. The following Acts give powers to Q-uardians in England to assist emigration out of the rates : 4 & 5 WHl. IV. c. 76, § 62, and 12 & 13 Yict. c. 103, § 20, enable them to borrow and expend, with the order, and subject to the rules and regulations, of the Local Govern- ment Board,* any sum not exceeding £10 to each person, to enable him to emigrate. This money is to be applied for this purpose by the Guardians (7 & 8 Vict. c. 101, § 29), and if there is any surplus it is to be applied in aid of the current rate (29 & 30 Vict. c. 113, § 9). Such person must be willing to emigrate and settled in the parish. Poor orphans or deserted children under 16 years need not be settled in the parish. If they are only chargeable to the parish this assistance to emi- grate may be given them if they consent (13 & 14 Vict, c. 101, § 4)'. The aggregate of such advances expended in each year is not to exceed half the average of the yearly poor rate for the three preceding years. By 11 & 12 Vict, c. 110, § 5, Guardians can assist poor persons to emigrate who are rendered irremovable by 9 «& 10 Vict. c. 66. Lastly, by 12 & 13 Vict. c. 103, § 14, and 39 & 40 Vict. o. 61, § 22, Guardians can receive into the workhouse paupers of another Union for the purpose of assisting them to emigrate. Only 224 persons were emigrated under the above sections in 1884, at a cost of £925 19s. The Local Government Board has not issued any general rules or regulations so as to show under what circumstances its assent will be given to the proposed emigration. Special rules applicable only to the emigration of children to Canada were issued on 30th April, 1883, under which 130 children were emigrated in 1883, 277 in 1884, and 74 in 1885 ; cost, about £10 each. The Canadian Government promised annual * The Poor Law Board is the authority mentioned in the Acts; its powers were, however, transferred to the Local Government Board by the Local Government Board Act, 1872, § 2. 8 The Handy Guide to Emigration. inspection and reports, but reports as to 26 children only have been received up to May, 1886. It should be noted that it is cheaper to emigrate a family of four adults than to keep one poor person in the workhouse. 2. All Boards of Guardians, also in Ir eland ^ may expend and borrow money to assist poor persons to emigrate (Arrears of Eent (Ireland) Act, 1882, §§ 18, 1 9 ; Poor Eelief (Ireland) Act, 1849, § 26 — 28, and previous Acts); and the Treasury may authorise grants to certain specified Boards of Guardians for this purpose (id. § 20) to the extent of £200,000 in the whole, and £8 to each emigrant. (Tramways and Public Companies (Ireland) Act, 1883, § 12.) The Land Commission may advance by way of loan, to any proper state or colony, public body or company, moneys to the extent of £200,000, but not more than a third thereof in any single year, to assist emigra- tion ; due security being taken for repayment of the loan, and the satisfactory shipment, transport, and reception of the emigrants. (Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1881, § 32.) 3. Scotland.— 14: & 15 Vict. c. 91 and 19 & 20 Vict. c. 9 have enabled landowners in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to obtain advances of public money, repayable by rent charges, for the defraying the expenses of the emigra- tion of poor persons in the parishes in which their land lies. 4. The Passenger Act, 1855, and other Acts, require passenger ships carrying emigrants to be seaworthy, have proper accommodation, furnish good and sufiicient food, provide medicines, and on large ships a surgeon, and in other ways protect the interests of emigrants. Short summaries of these regulations are posted up in every ship ; emigrants who find they are not being treated fairly should immediately complain. 5. Emigration of females. — Women are greatly wanted in all the Colonies. In 1881 we had in the old country 733,264 more women than me a, but in the Colonies the proportion is reversed. Thus, in Canada, in a population of 4,324,810, there were 52,898 more males than females. In Queensland, in 1882, there were 73,249 unmarried males as against 41,362 unmarried females ; in some parts males are twenty or thirty times as numerous as females. In "Western Australia, in 1884, there were 18,623 males to 14,335 females. Out of 128,258 single adults who emigrated from this country in 1885 no less than 84,577 were men. Women may reckon General Information, 9 upon getting immediate employment at good wages. If they know (as they certainly should) how to sew, to cook, and to do laundry work, their wages will be considerably higher. They should not emigrate alone, especially if they are young, but through one of the Women's Societies mentipned in this Guide, which are constantly sending out parties under charge of a matron. The Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge supplies chaplains for monthly parties to Canada in the season. Apply to the Eev. John Bridger, St. Nicholas Vestry, Liverpool. No honest man or woman should assist to emigrate any female whom they know to be immoral. The greatest care should be exercised in selecting respectable emigrants, and in getting the application form, which may be obtained from the Eev. J. Bridger, St. Nicholas Vestry, Liverpool, conscientiously/ filled up. There are depots at the colonial ports for the reception of emigrants. 6. Emigration of suitably trained children is the surest means of rescuing lives, reducing the poor rates, and building up the Colonies. Guardians (see above) should exercise their powers of emigrating children far more than they do. Children should not go out alone; they should receive a thorough training first, and know how to use their hands. Apply to one of the children's societies mentioned in this Guide. 7. The Colonies offer best promises of success to farmers with capital, agricultural labourers, mechanics, and women. All emigrants should make inquiry first of the Agents-General or respectable Emigration Societies. Many an emigrant comes to grief because he has not taken the trouble to ascer- tain the sort of place he is bound for. . In the absence of proper inquiry and common sense, it may happen that an emigrant miner may settle himself in a wheat country, and a farm labourer in a fishing village. The emigrant should be able to turn his hand to anything. He will find the clergy- man of his parish ready to put him in the way of obtaining proper advice. He should also ask him for a letter of recom- mendation, to be presented to any colonial clergyman who may be nearest to the spot in which he settles.— F«Vf^ p. 65. 8. Clothes. — It is essential that warm great-coats and cloaks ^ should be taken for the voyage. What is wanted at sea should b J taken in small separate parcels ; large boxes are put in the hold, and cannot be opened. Passengers to Australia should also be supplied with cool clothing. Speci- 10 The Sandy Guide to Emigration. men outfits for the Colonies, which need not be new, are given under information for Queensland. 9. Money. — Emigrants should not carry their money in cash, but should take out here one or more money orders, payable to themselves at any post-office in the Colony. One for £5 costs Is., and for £10, 2s. ; * Circular notes,' issued by any bank here having correspondents in the Colony, offer also a safe means of taking money. 10. It is not, as a rule, advisable to take ordinary tools, as spades, &c. ; they are better obtained in the Colony. Special tools of mechanics, &c., should be taken. 11. All emigrants are medically examined before embarking by the Colonial and Board of Trade authorities. No applicant will receive Government assistance who has any mental or bodily defect, or any inherent disease calculated to shorten life or impair bodily or mental energy. 12. Emigrants, on arriving in the Colonies, should apply for aU information to the different Colonial Government Agents ; they should give a very wide berth to all private emigration touts and agents, who wiU try to rob them of their money. 13. Information as to British possessions in the Mediter- ranean, the West Indies, Straits Settlements, Gold Coast, Western Australia, &c., may be obtained from the Crown Agents for the Colonies, in Downing Street, London. 14. Emigrants obtaining assisted passages to Australia are warned on no account to break up their homes, or leave their work, until they receive their embarkation order. They may have to wait three or four months for a vacancy in the ship. 15. The rates of wages vary considerably at different sea- sons of the year, and in different years, and those given below are only to be taken as a rough estimate. 16. No clerks, or shopmen, or persons who are afraid of hard work, are wanted in any of the Colonies. Governesses should make inquiries first. Emigrants should not remain in the large towns. The following societies and individuals assist and promote emigration, besides the Agents-General of the different Colonies. LONDON. FOE WOMEN. I. British Ladies' Female Emigrant Society (1849), 16, Southampton Street, Fitzroy Square, W. Emigration Societies for Women. 11 Protects female emigrants on voyage and on landing, and furnishes information, providing materials for needlework ; 21 permanent matrons superintend tlie emigrants.

The best districts are the Darling Downs (1,000 to 2,500 feet), Clermont by the Peak Downs, Charleville, &c., where the air is cooler and there is more chance of rain. Sheep and cattle were, owing to the drought, reduced from 11,607,475 and 4,246,141 in 1883, to 8,994,000 and 4,162,000 respectively in 1885. 42,472,071 lbs. of wool were exported in 1885, valued at £2,181,918.

On arrival in the Colony aU passengers, unless going out under special agreement, wiU be at perfect liberty to en- gage themselves to anyone willing to employ them, and to make their own bargain for wages. Many will find better chances of employment by landing at smaller ports north of Brisbane. Emigrants may remain for a few days after landing at Government depots free of expense. The Govern- ment labour agents there will supply information, and free railway passes will be given to those proceeding into the country within fourteen days after arrival. Girls wanting lodgings or help at Brisbane, should apply to the Girls' Frien^y Lodge, 10, Herbert Street, Spring Hill.

For Form of Declaration apply to the Agent-General or Local Agent. Deposits up to £3,000, at 2^ per cent, from date of deposit till date of arrival in the Colony, will also be received.

Practical Directions. ^^ — Apply to the Agent-General or local agent for an application form for an assisted passage. Fill it up, stating occupation, and return it. If approved, a more elaborate form will be sent to be filled up, certified to, «&;c. If this is approved, an embarkation order will be sent. This process takes some time, and there may be no immediate vacancy in a ship ; the applicant should therefore not give up any situation until he receives an embarkation order. All emigrants, after having received 'Embarkation Orders,' shall present themselves on the date and at the port named therein, for the purpose of giving facility to the arrangements for their embarkation. Married couples, their children, and single men, will be allowed to remain on board five clear days after the ships drop anchor in Sydney harbour. Unmarried women, upon arrival, will be received into an emigrants' home in Sydney, and allowed to remain therein, should they desire to do so, for ten clear days, to enable them to obtain suitable employment. Emigrants desiring to proceed to the country districts of the Colony, within four clear days of their arrival, will be allowed free travelling passes by railway for that purpose. To meet the public convenience, persons resident in the * These are now stopped. t The regulations on this and following pages only apply to * assisted ' emigrants, not to emigrants paying the full fare. I I 56 The Sandy Guide to Emigration. Colony, who may desire to introduce immigrants in accordance with these regulations, shall be entitled to nominate such immigrants and to deposit on trust with the Agent for Immi- gration at the Immigration Office, Sydney, and in the country districts with the Clerks of Petty Sessions, the necessary sum or sums. Such nominations will be subject, however, to the approval of the Agent-General, and the rules of selection prescribed by these regulations, as in cases when no such nominations have been made. These nominations are now stopped. Personal Outfit and Luggage. — Emigrants must provide their own outfit, which will be inspected before embarkation by an officer of the Agent-General. Each person must possess not less than the following : — For male adults : 2 complete suits of strong external clothing, 6 shirts, 6 pairs stockings, 2 pairs new shoes, and 2 flannel or Guernsey shirts. For female adults : 6 shifts, 2 flannel petticoats, 6 pairs stockings, 2 pairs strong shoes, atd 2 strong gowns, one of which should be of a warm material. For each child : 9 shirts or shifts, 4 flannel waistcoats, and 1 warm cloak or outside coat ; 3 pairs stockings, 2 pairs strong shoes, and 2 complete suits of ex- ternal clothing. Each person must also have 2 lbs. best yellow soap, 2 lbs. marine soap, and not less than 4 towels and 3 sheets, together with the necessary brushes and combs for cleanliness, ^qw bedding (except sheets) and mess utensils will be provided by the Agent-General. Two or three coloured shirts for men, and an extra supply of flannel for women and children, are very desirable. The quantity of luggage for each person of 12 years of age and upwards must not exceed 20 cubic feet, or half a ton in weight; children of 1 and under 12 years will be allowed half that quantity. All articles should be carefully packed in one or more strong boxes, not exceeding 12 cubic feet eacli. Larger packages, and extra luggage, if taken, must be paid for. Mattresses, beds, or pillows, of any description, firearms and offensive weapons, wines, spirits, beer, gunpowder, per- cussion caps, lucifer matches, articles of food of a perishable nature or that require cooking, or anything of a dangerous or noxious character, cannot be taken. 'EmigTants must look carefully after their luggage, both in travelling to the port o\ embarkation, and after arrival there, as neither the Agent» New South IValea. 57 General, his officers, nor the Colonial Government, can be responsible in any way for loss thereof, or damage thereto, on land or at sea. All packages are examined at the depot before being shipped. Information for Emigrants. — None but first-class steamers or sailing ships are engaged, and these are despatched from Plymouth or other ports, according to arrangement. At Plymouth there is a depot, fitted expressly for the reception of emigrants, who are lodged and fed free of charge, from the date named in their ' Embarkation Orders ' until they embark. Emigrants must travel to Plymouth or other port, as the case may be, at their own expense. The reduced emigrant fare from London is 15s. per adult. The Agent-General has also arranged with the London Branch of the Bank of New South Wales to issue drafts, payable on demand in Sydney, in exchange for money, to emigrants proceeding to New South Wales. These drafts may be procured, free of cost, from the Bank authorities, at the depots, before embarkation. Persons having money with them are strongly advised to avail themselves of the oppor- tunity thus offered, and so make themselves secure against loss, to which they are liable in carrying money either on their persons or in their baggage. The ships are fitted vith studied regard for the health and comfort of the emigrai^lis, and for the preservation of good order amongst them. Berths are available for married couples and their children under 1 2 years. Single adults are provided with separate accommodation according to sox. The un- married females, for whom a great demand exists in New South Wales, are placed under the care of a Matron. An experienced Surgeon accompanies each ship. The emigrants are victualled on board in messes of about eight adults in number, and are provided with a more liberal dietary scale than that allowed under the Act of Parliament. Children between 1 and 12 receive half rations in addition to an allowance of jam or marmalade, preserved soup, egg, and milk. A special dietary is provided for children above 4 months and under 1 year. There is also an abundant supply of medical comforts, such as arrowroot, sago, wine, stout, preserved soups, broths, &c., for use in cases of sickness. Emigrants receive fresh baked bread daily, made from a li; .\ 68 The Handy Guide to Emigration. iij?! portion of their flour. Mattresses, bolsters, blankets, and counterpanes, canvas-bags to contain clothing, &c., knives and forks, spoons, plates, drinking-mugs, teapots, sugar-boxes, and wash-bowls are provided by the Agent-General. The Agent-General desires it to be understood that he cannot undertake to provide assisted passages to families consisting of a large number of young children. On reaching the Colony, the emigrants are at perfect liberty to choose their own employment, and to make their own bargains for wages. Ladies and other employers, of known respectability only, are permitted by the authorities to attend at the depot for the purpose of engaging female servants. When once a passage has been provided, the amount paid by the emigrant cannot be returned in the event of a refusal to proceed. The Agent-General finds it necessary to caution emigrants arriving at the railway r- lotions, or shipping wharves at Plymouth or Glasgow, against accepting information or guidance from strangers, or persons not connected with the depot. Unassisted steerage fares, same as to Victoria. Apply as directed under that Colony. Wages and food about the same as in Queensland. Good plasterers, 11*. a day; wharf labourers.

For the service of 56 single girls, who arrived disengaged in October, 1885, * there were 174 applicants' (Sydney Morn- ing Herald, October 29, 1885). Wages per week given to 104 girls, per Parthia, in January, 1886, were: '70 general servants, 8*. to 15s., 9 housemaids, 10«. to 12«., 1 at 7«., and 1 at H#. ; 10 nurses, 8s. to lis. and 1 at 6«. ; 3 house and parlour-maids, 10s. to 12s.; 1 cook at 10s., 1 at 12«,, and 3 at 14«. ; and 3 cooks and laundresses, 15s. to 16s.'- /(^., Jan. 21, 1886: ' Agricultural hands were in the greatest demaiMi, at £36 to £45 a year, with board ; gardeners, £40 to £52 , stock- men, £40 to £75 ; road-makers, 6#. to 8«. a day.' — /«•.
