There was quite an excitement yesterday
morning in Commercial street, on discover

and preserved in brandy. which had been
brough. to this city few weeks since from
New York The cask was stored in a
cellar-but no one asking for, and some
suspicious circumstances arising, il was
tapped, and the liquor tested and finally
the head was knocked out and the contents
discovered. They were doubtless the bodies
of tenants of some almshouse, and were
sent here to furnish subjects for dissection.
The liquor, were it not for this timely dis.
covery, would have furnished bonnie boueAe

A FRESH supply of DEWEY'S SER
IN MONS, just received and for sale, by
BiRGE, BRACKETT & co.
The native American., 1838-08-25

This calculation is, of course, only bypothe,i.
cal, because in some of the States there are no
returns, and in others no poor-houses. bnt il is
nevertheless correct as an aggregated for although
Ohio may not have, as the table gives her, 5,sl4
paupers, because she is agricultural State. with
an industrious northern people, and no slavery,
still the difference is made up in Louisiana, which.
though richer State, with nominay no poor
houses, and is put down in this scale of quotas ~
having only 1887, nevertheless supports, as ap-
pears by actual statements, 5000 persons in The
charity hospital of one city, New OrIeans) So.
too, in Vermont: the number of paupers is not
given, but the annual charges arc. amounting q,
100000; and this, supposng $45 to be the s,,u,
required for the support of each, would show
that she has 1922 paupers, while the table of
proportions gives her only l,SOO, or 422 less than
she really supports.
New York, with population, in 1890. of
l,9ls,6Os, ought to have only ll,l45 paupers.
but her public accounts exhibit more than threa.
fold the number, supplied at an expense of more
than one-third Of million OF dollars annually
Take the table, therefore, in the general. and
it gives the fair number throughout the Uniled
States.
1t may be said that this influx of extrinsic DO.
pulatlon is lost in the expanse of our territo
rv, and their support is nothing compared with
the increased productiveness of the country. But
this would be assuming position against facts;
for while the population has increased, the bread
stufs have diminished. The United States, which
have heretofore been looked upon as DESIGNED
by nature for exclusively agricultural country,
which should furnish grain to all the rest of the
world, and which should confine herself so com.
petely to the pursuits which nature has indica,ed
for her citizens as to have "her workshops i,
Europe is now so entirely foreign, as to import
not only her merchandise and her citizens. bnt
also the bread to feed them.
The Treasury reports show that up to 1888
we had no imports of breadstufs, and in that vear
only 500 bushels of wheat and 34s bushels of
oats; but in 1885 the returns give 1856, 500 worth
Of wheat, and $63,346 worth Of oats. Now. II
the increase of our population from 1888 TO 1899
is calculated by the rule that the whole doubles
itself in % years, then the census at that date
would give us l4,s04,0 souls, or ,93s, 900 IN
three years

Without enlarging upon these evils, proceed
now to answer your inquiry as to the support OF
the poor in Washington City.
The population of the city proper is about
1000.
The average number Of paupers per annum,
during period Of five years, is 1916, or one pau
per out of every ll2 inhabitants.
Number admitted into Committed for dsor.
The native American., 1838-08-25

During the war, when immigration was stop
ped for time, that city began to recover from
ner burden, and the number fell down to 400.
ooon alter the termination of hostilites with Eng
laha' u began to increase again as the population
moved IN from the alms-houses of other countries,
until, In 1922, it amounted to 5000. The po-
pulaton had increased in ratio of 81 per cent
while the poor-rates had risen nearly 81 per cent
In Philadelphia and the county alone, it is said
that three millions Of dollars have been expended
in the shape Of poor tax within 25 years
1t is not possible to ascertain with precision
the number of paupers in the country, as in some
of the States there is tax for their support and
in many of those that have an assessment for
that purpose there is no return Of the cost or the
number.
The average cost for maintaining them varies
in different years in the different States, accord
ing to the value of provisions. Thus in Phila-
delphia, in 1921, the average weekly charge was
7O.9 cents, while in 1882 it was 102 cents.
In Massachusetts the annual cost is $50, or
96.l per week,
In Virginia, where, in the greater number of
the counties, the poor are boarded out at rate
agreed upon between the overseer and the house
keeper, or where the pauper receives his yearly
allowance, and makes his own bargain for subsis-
tence, the annual cost is from $40 to $lOO or
81 5000 per week.
In New York, the average per year, in 1880,
was $37 O3, or I'll cents per week.
In the same State, in 1896, it was $32 SO, or
62.26 cents per week.
In order to arrive at tolerably accurate view
ofthe number and charge of maintenance through
out the United States, it has been thought best
to make calculation for those States from which
we have no returns, by comparing the extent of
their population under the census of 1880, with
the number in those States which haze giren
returns; and the result is as follows:
Maine, with population, in 1880, Of 399,955, shows
by her official state-
r IN = af - fnf te m
The native American., 1838-08-25

II you add the number admitted to that depart
ment of the poor's house appropriated as place
of penitence or punishment for vagrants or per-
sons committed for disorderly conduct, to the
number committed as mere paupers, then the
average number of admissions annually during a
period of five years, would
sG be 1915 paupers,
"." .s. 277 vagrants.
The native American., 1838-08-25

pended was only $4,000 on population Of
ls3,s5S, OF which one in every 333 was pauper.
But in 1920, with population of 244, l6l, OF
which one in every 100 was pauper, $50, 900
was expended; $50 that, in the course of twenty
years, the actual expense was nearly quintupled,
and the proportion which the paupers bore to the
whole population had been increased IN the ratio
of more than three to one."
In Massachusetts the increase since 1921, from
l.34 per cent, has been, up to 1892, 2.55 per
cent, or nearly doubled in ten years.
In the district of Southwark and the Northern
Liberties alone, in Philadelphia, there were in
1910 1890, and in 1920; $500, or within a
fraction Of all increase Of 100 Der cent in 10 years.
