S1a: Your paper Of the 18th inst contains
letter written by q Yorkshireman, who signs his
mama George Hondry, and assures you and your
many thousand readers that be is "in no Way

Secularism Of the Bradlaugh type, which sneers
at Royalty and the religious community, coming
here to ask tho force Of public opinion on

thousand Of the population OF Yorkshire"
I believe Mr. a. wants to make out that York
shire is botter place for workingman than
Chicago. He at times compares Yorkshire with"
Amcrica, and Chicago With England, and goes
on to contrast the purchasing power OF dol
lar" in the two countries. He speaks OF Free.

existence there, which it has not.
Now, sir, before I enter into any details on the
cost of living in Yorkshire or in any part OF En-
gland, hope you will allow me to say that was

not pretend to be sicE. and then march In pcmp

CHEAPER THAN LABOR,
and the door OF relief stands wide open and in
yites them to live On city's charity. The num-
ber Of mon, women, and children who to-day are
dragging out q miserable existence in Chicago
to aay nothing Of tho other large cities In this
country-is astonishing. The objects Of relief
are divided into two classes: ;: those who will not
work because it is cheaper to beg; the other,
through misfortune, and almost SIX months OF
hard winter, are deprived Of the means Of sup-
port. The hard earnings sayed by the industri-
ous mechanic or laborer last GUNNER will hardly
suffice to support the family until the resump-
ton Of spring business and Jet thousands in
