The Duty OF the Merchants.

And let the merchants also do something
for the poor-not by mere individual action
but by united effort. Most of our merchants
are benevolent, we know, and give largely for
every worthy object, but they are often too
busy to extend their charities or find time to
give only in cases where special appeal is
made to them. Now is a time for them not
only to think of giving, but to unite and DO
active in giving. To feed the poor ct this
time is not simple charity, but case where
giving becomes duty. Will our merchants
take united action and contribute to cause
which is the highest cause of humanity? If
they will hold meetings of the different
branches of trade-the importers and job
bers in the various lines Of business, and the
retailers who make so much of their profits
out of the poorer classes-they can do
an immense deal of good. Within o
week our merchants, who form 80
large part of this commercial city, can raise
money enough to drive absolute want from
the doors of all The restitution in the city
is terrible, not only for the need of bread, but
for the want of fire and clothing. Labor is
not abundant, and while it continues depressed
the poor must suffer. We expect to see the
mercantile part OF the community do much to
relieve the suffering which otherwise will be
extreme
