CONCLUSION.
Another high wave of German immigration came after the Civil War. From 1866, when the hundred thousand mark was again passed, the immi- grants continued to pour in, particularly after the war with France, at the rate of about 130,000 annually. Military duty and hard pressure upon the population had much to do with the increase of our population. The allure- ments on the American side were quite as strong an influence as the hard- ships at home. A homestead being liberally offered to every worthy immi- grant, the Germans, as in the previous century, were keenly alive to the desirability of possessing land. The financial depression following the panic of 1873 had its effect upon the German Immigration, for in the following six years the immigration only once reached 50,000 in one year and that was in 1874. An upward bound began in 1882 and reached proportions unknown heretofore, for between that year and 1892 nearly two million

HISTORY OF NEWARK
Germans came. Since the beginning of the present century, however, Ger- man immigration has fallen off and during the last few years has been almost insignificant. Germany's great rise as an industrial nation, her development of colonies in Africa and elsewhere, for her surplus population, her exemplary laws insuring the laboring class against accident and sickness, and the old age pension, have made her people far less eager to emigrate to foreign lands-and the disappearance of frontier lines and all areas of cheap lands has rendered America far less attractive. In regard to the character of the immigration at the end of the Nineteenth Century, much that has already been said in regard to the immigration of an earlier time applies to this. The German immigrants of the end of that century were not fleeing from any kind of persecution. They came with the firm convic- tion that they not only received, but also gave something-they wanted to reap the fruit of the gifts and labor which they had placed at the disposal of their new country.
The question of such distinction is not one of vital importance in a discussion of the influence of the German element in the United States. In taking account of the latter, all immigration of the Nineteenth, as well as preceding centuries, are equally concerned; each is important in its place and its influence is greatly determined by the conditions of the period and location.
The Germans in the United States have furnished what might be called the humbler virtues, which constitute, nevertheless, the backbone of good citizenship, such as respect for the law, honesty, dogged persistence, industry and economy. In commerce and industry, in science and art, in every endeavor that makes for progress and improvement, they have taken a notable part and their influence is indisputable. They have their full share in the achievements of this nation, composed of so many different nation- alities and elements, and while they continue to love and cherish their Fatherland, they are proud of their American citizenship and they are devoted to the only country they now recognize as their own, the United States of America.
In preparing the History of German Immigration in New Jersey and Newark the writer has used the following books: "The German Element in the United States," by Albert Bernhardt Faust; "Die Deutschen im Amer- ikanischen Burgenkrieg," by Wilhelm Kaufmann; Mellick's "Story of an Old Farm"; "New Jersey as Colony and State," by Francis B. Lee; and his indebtedness to them is hereby gratefully acknowledged. Much valuable material was also taken from the files of the following papers: The "Daily Advertiser," "The New Jersey Freie Zeitung," and the "Mercury." The writer also wishes to make special acknowledgment to the following, who have assisted him with material for this history: Mr. Robt. Metzger, Rev. Solomon Foster, Gustav Lehlbach, Ex-Commissioner August F. Eggers, Miss Maud E. Johnson, librarian of the Historical Society; Miss Margaret McVety, of the Public Library, and Mr. R. E. Helbig, of the New York Library.
