yesterday were that upwards of fifteen
thousand bales had been taken by Ameri-

the syndicate plan argue that lie very
purpose of the loan Is to draw gold from

OF the people to invite new attacks from
the foreign combination, which seems to
have the Treasury in its gr&sp.
No matter what slight weaknesses may
appear in the argument for a popular loan,
the very fact that il is popular would
arouse patriotic feeling and inspire new
confidence in the government. That a lew
foreign bankers should be able to make
a secret bargain with the President and
put millions OF dollars I'm their pockets by
the easy transaction, is rcpulsive to every
American.
France has left to the world an immortal
example of the Influence of Il popular loan,
in the immediate subscription and payment
OF one billion dollars indemnity to Ger
many at the close OF the Franco-Prussian
war. The empire had been overtbrown, the
shakey Thiers administration put in power,
the whole north country had been dis
mantied, and the people Impoverished, but
patriotic feeling was so strong that every
one who had five franc piece to spare
poured 1t into the lap OF the government.

Insufficiency OF Charity.

The bitter cold weather, which sho VS.
no sign OF relsnting, has hardly set IN nnen
the cry comes of charity funds about to
be exhausted or which are already ex-
hausted. This is in the face of the fact
that each year charitable organizations
are more thoroughly organized and prepared
to work upon a more expansive basis. The
demand grows faster than the supply, and
two or three days OF severe cold weather
depletes treasures and stocks OF food,
clothing and fuel, and agents of the societies
scour the city for new supplies.
Nothing can be clearer than that the whole
system OF charity is wrong. in that it is
horribly insufficient. At best it can accom-
islish but little here and there, and the
suffering that is relieved is but small
fraction of that which never sees a helping
hand. The question must occur to the
simplest mind whether this voluntary and
sporadic assistance, no matter how beauti-
lful and commendable, is the best that
intelligence can devise, and whether ii must
go on forever in its meager ministering.
The certain conclusion of inquiry in this
direction is that philanthropic people, in
