The NEWS proposes to send at its own
cost representative Rhode Island work
ingman to Great Britain TO report upon
the condition OF workingmen there. 1t
will pay all his expenses and furnish him
with guide books and all necessary in
formation and assistance in laying out
his route. 1t will also pay full day wages
for every day of his absence either TO him
or TO his family. He will start some time
In May and will have time enough To do a
great deal of sightseeing besides investi-
eating huts and novels and tenements.
Thus, IL a man has family, its support
will be amply provided for while he is
gone. and the wife can put tidy sum in
the savings bank every week besides, as
expenses will of course be less with the
husband away. IL he is single he can save
every cent OF his wages for the entire dur
alton of the trip.
