PAUFEg POPULATION OF Misunderstanding
- q London letter, the pauper population Of
England and Wales, 70 say nothing of Ireland
and Scotland, i at this time close upon ! 900 600
larger than the entire population Of u OF the
States Of the American Union at the last census,
and equal % tire population of such States rs
NIssIchu-etts OF Missouri. Imagine 1000 900
Of Iaupers. OF these, nearly IL, 1000 are insane
an insane population a. large as New Haven
or Troy, with idiots enough to people Newport,
View London OF iIUbOken. Not that these petty
towns would hold all the idiots. These are only
the pauper idiots who are supported by the rates.
There i a higher class living on taxes, rents,
and - on, that would swell the number
beyond my present means of computation. With
this million Of actual paupers you may class
2-luO.uUD more who are on the verge Of pauper-
Ism, and suffering more or less from restitution,
keeping Up a sad and sorry fight for dear life,
which ends a such struggles must. W hen |
look at the ignorance, vice, and misery through
out their poverty stricken millions l cannot help
thinking that England wants something more
riectulI in the way of reform than suffrage cx-
tension T. 20 h5usehOlders. In my humble
what England wants Is a Government.
