The Committee intrusted with the

scented as gift by that Republic to
the United States. The committee
appeals to the patriotism of the pub
lie for donations to erect the statue,
but the millionaires of the East, being
devoid of that principle, do not re-
spond to the appeal, and it now looks
as if France would have to contribute
the means to place the statue in po-
sition.
