Large sums are raised for this purpose

Europe is not idle in the business OF co
Ionizlng this country with their paupers
and criminals, as we shall hereafter show
These paupers increased from 90, l66 in
1915, to 1881 in 1880; and the ratio
has probably mere than doubled during the

throughout the country, is more than two
TO one.-OnIy $4,000, it is said, Of the
$4,000 expended for charitable purpo

native citizens! This proportion is SINH
