,;+toa tn cooperate with the American
committee of the Statue of Liberty.
The people of France have acted most
u,Dorously: Contributions have been
made from all classes and from all parts
30 the country; the Statue Is completed,
I'd will shortly be ready for transpor-
teton to America. But. on the otner

nftbe American part of the work, the
Oroviding OF A proper pedestal for the
rrocpntiOn of the Statue, have not thus
for been aroused to the extent desirable
md necessary. In fact such apathy
and indifference has been shown thai
the American Committee informs u
that the amount of money at this ia

that with the necessary daily ouliulh5
pxnenditures of about three nunure'
dollars (S3OO OO), the fund will last bu

feeling of patriotism.
The American Committee has foun
one of the greatest dltncultles III ID
fact that the public generaLy hs
seemed to feel that the work was IN I'll
hands of few rich men OF the Guy
New York, who W0uI9 coIl'I II. q u I

desired that this impression should
removed. for if ever there was WoI

6f the DeoDLs OF France to the people
America. While large subScrlpuo
are always desirable. 1t would be I
nore 70 the credit OF this great natl'
If every man, woman anC cnlld Sh0 IIi
have a block in the pedestal. II
Committee does not believe thaC I
American people are Indifferent To u
Iroat work. but that they are not J
Sufficiently awakened to the sense Oh

the neOple for their aid. 1t will ia
