Liverpool houses well nigh 4 million souls.
Its maritime interests are enormous. ami
commercially II no doubt ranks Is the sec
Ond city in the empire. II Is hard. praC-
teal city. Its business men and factors
are grim, severe fellows. stern Of decision
as New York millionaireS, and restless,
dil!gent and uucOnquerable As the men who
have set the killing pace in Chicago.
There is little room for pleasant things in
Liverpool. Its chief and almost sole gallery
of paintings was given the citT-by L gradu-
ated rumSeller. whom Victoria, out of sur
prise and wonder 10 doubt, made = baU0nct.
Although one of the words greatest depotS
for the book collector. it has but one library
of note available 10 the public. Charities
are done in perfuuctory, petulant manner,
although the helpless We're most iII-mau-
nered III selecting busy Liverpool 10 SJarVe
in. And its hundreds OF thousands Of
working men and women are treated with
less consideration than cattle.
With 4 few shining examples. Il Is city
of commercial GradgriudS on the one hand,
and pubIir-house devil-tiSh on the other.
The lOwly have 4 sad lot between them.
Nobody here wants il that way. nobody
here believes ii IS that way. Y few men,
like Sir james Poole, are euueavoriug TO
help the masses to better things. and are
finding 4 little time from business affairs To
do something praCticI. and good. But as
rule the men who own great fleets, who eN
change half the English speaking worlds
raw and manufactured products push for
ward in their mouey-grabbin% career like
automatOnS of stone, and their fellow hui
mans are counted Is coal. iron, or cotton
are computed in loss or gain.
In studying the condition Of the lOwly Of
any great city, the demand Tor labor. wages
paid, and the cost of living, are the first
things to be considered. These things iudi-
cate how the people might live if possessed
of all prudence and SObrietN. How they
really live and why, is another matter.
There IS seldom dearth of labor in any
great seaport Liverpool has always stood
high in percentage of labor demand. The
city has never been subject 10 the relentless
oyercrowdine Of manufacturing towns like
Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham, or the
destructive greed of tremendous and end
less immigration. as at New York II Is the
greatest enuepot III Europe. The landing,
handling and reshipment of nearly all North
and South American products exported TO
Europe. and the reshipment 10 all quarters
of the globe of the greater part Of the STU
pendous quantities of British manufactures,
are done at this one port. It's warehouses
and docks are almost incOnceivably uumer-
Gus and extensive. Fifty thousand men are
alone constantly required il the various
forms of dock labor. This fact Will suhi-
UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE.
Steady labor and plenty of il Is the rule
