ENGLAND'S PAUPERS.
Misery and Want Revealed by
Government Statistics.
Great Anxiety Occasioned In London by
tho Great Increase and Continued
Growth OF Pauporism-A Ter
rible Showing.

The remarkable fact that through
out the whole of England and Wales
there were at the end OF last year
twenty-four paupers existing on gov
eminent charity in every thousand OF
the population, is contained in great
mass of statistics on paupcrism re-
Gently issued by the poor relief depart
ment of the British government. The
exact percentage was 24.5 paupers per
1000 of population. There was great
increase of pauperism during the year.
many thousands of people, owing to
the general business depression. being
driven to ask for relief for the first
time in their lives, and the officially
recorded proportion of pauperism
reached the highest point in many
years. The proportion was smallest in
1891, when it was 1872 to the 1000 popu-
lation. This is a remarkable fact in
itself as indicating the normal amount
of extreme pauperism in England. for
the record is only of paupers applying
for government relief.
1t is curious fact, says the New
York Sun, that the proportion of
paupers to population is smaller in
London than throughout the rest of
England and Wales. But there has
been a great increase and continued
growth of pauperisn in the metropolis
in recent years which is causing a
great deal of anxiety. In the second
week of last December there were 1867
$40 paupers in London, which was
equivalent to 24.3 per 900 of the whole
population. This was 1926 more pau
pers than were receiving relief in the
city in the corresponding week of the
previous year, and greater number
than in any year since 1872.
The proportion of pauperism in Lon
don was the highest in the years 1867
and 1869. when it reached AS and 49,
respectively to the 900 of population.
But these were years of exceptional
depression. and the astounding figures
have never been reached in any other
year since the Inauguration of the
present system of statistics. The low
est point was reached in 1891, when the
proportion of paupcrs was 32.4 per 1.G00
of population. Since that year there
has been steady growth of pauper-
ism in the metropolis, and at such a
rate and with such cOincident circum-
stances as to be the cause of much
anxiety to the authorities and mat
ter of great public concern.
But these figures are of the pauper-
ism only that comes to official notice,
and the record takes no account of the
vast amount of poverty that is relieved
by private charity and through other
than government sources. To go on
the parish is the last and much
dreaded resort of the honest poor, only
to be availed of in direst extremity,
and the cOroners' records show that
many unfortunates have died of actual
starvation rather than thus apply for
public charity. More than dozen of
such sad eases are noted on the official
returns of inqucsts held in London
alone during last year. So that the
startling showing of twenty-four pau
pers in every thousand inhabitants is
only part Of the picture of poverty in
England.

used various remedies and prescriptions.
While some of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from

would seize me the moment attempted
