A Mr.. Morgan OF Chicago had a good
deal OF fault finding with the upper ten
OF that city who held the great charity
bali for the relief OF the poor and the
Inter Ocean comes back at MIR. Morgan
after this fashion, which is equally APP
plicable in other places: "Wby Mr..
Thomas Morgan should be angry with
the good people who, as he says, "dance
for charity" is what no one can under
stand. In the first place the good peo-
pie do not "dance for charity" they
dance for amusement. They do not
dance because others less fortunate than
they are in distress. When they dance
they spend money, and when they spend
money they give employment TO people
who seek to earn money. The costly
silks and broadcloths in which they
dress cost money, rs per cent Of which,
at least, finds its way into the pockets OF
wage earners. All that they eat and
drink by way OF refreshment costs
money, the larger part OF which goes TO
wage The lights that burn in
the dancing hall costs money that goes
to the coal miners, the workers in gas
and electric establishments, To plumbers.

id which they ride 10 and from the dance
cost money, and the horses have to be
fed, and the vehicles have h be cared
for, all OF which sends money into clrcu-

OF commercial depression In to wear
sackcloth and ashes, and to eat
dry bread and drink cold water. But as
a matter OF fact, were sackcloth and
ashes to become fashionable apparel ad-
ditional thousands OF men and women
would DO thrown out OF work. No, Mr..
Morgan; the sackcloth and ashes bust
ness 10 nonsensical. The duty of the
hour il ID spend - freely as prudence
permits. Trade il not dull because Of
too great expenditure on horses, car
liagee, silks, broadcloth, light, fuel and
food, bnt because Of too little sxpendiA
ture. And, Mr.. Morgan, every blather-
alits who cants and rants about the
