-se Prejudice llet by a Canvasser
For the Pedestal Fund.

The Bartholdi Pedestal Fund is
nearlv complete. The statue has
arrived, and soon New York IIarbor
VIII be graced by the most magnifi-
ieent colossal statue the world has
! ever seen.
Liberty Enlightening the World!'
What a priceless blessing per-
sonal liberty isl 1t is the shrine
at which people, ground under the
heel OF tyranny in the older worlds,
worship with a fervency that AInsgi-
cans can scarcely realize : it is n prin4
ciple for which Nihilists willingly die
the death of dogs; and fit and proper
it is that at the very entrance OF the
Bay of New York this embIematic
statue should flash welcome 10 the
world.
The press is entitled to the credit
of this achievement. Mr.. Philip
Beers, who has been making circuit
of the country on behalf OF the
Pedestal Fund, says that the fund
will certainly be raised, as the World
does not know the word fail
Mr.. Beers says that he has found
the most pronounced generosity
among those of foreign birth. They
seem more appreciative of liberty
than do our native born. Moreover,
among some . strange prejudice
seems to exist. 0
&C Prejudice? In what particular ?"

meritorious a thing may be, thou

prejudiced against it. 1 have spent

In 1879 personal misfortune illus
trated this prevailing prejudice. 1
was very i'll, had suffered for several
years with headache, tickle appetite,
dreadful backache, cramps, hot
head, cold hands and feet, and
general break down of the system.
l dragged myself back to New York,
seeking the best professional treat
ment. 1t so happens that among
my relatives is distinguished physi-
clan who upbraided me roundly for
SO much about my own
case. Finally, with some spirit, 1

Mr.. Beers's experience and the
