as seven cents down to as low as half a
cent an hour and the working hours in
the toy industry, for instance, are as
much as ninety hours a week. At the
same time foodstuffs generally cost as
much as they do here.
Nowhere in this country could such
conditions exist. Here the wages for all
classes of labor are higher than any
where else in the world. Work is plenty
and the toilers live better. If the cost
of living is high the means of earning it
is easier and the profits correspondingiy
greater. The contrast provided by Con-
sui Pixies report is an extreme one, but
the difference in the relative cost of liv-
ing and wages in the United States and
other countries is general. The compari-
son should shame those who so constant
" misrepresent the facts.

which the expenses for office mainte-

kept as small as possible. and in which
the major part of every dollar received
goes directly to relieve pressing need or
secure work for those out of employment
But even the best Of these agencies n III
under suspicion because the appeals
made for spurious charities sound SO
like those for the genuine.
The best thing possible for the useful
organized charities would be the wedding
out and branding Of all these spurious or
ganizations. In this city that work has
been done to a large extent By the strin-
gent measures which have been taken to
cut off private charities from access to
public funds. The organization of chari-
ties for the sake of social prominence has
been discouraged by the necessity Of
raising all the money for their support
from private subscriptions. The present
tendency is to work through established
and accredited agencies rather than to
create new boards and new institutions.
That is healthful tendency and the
gifts TO those accredited agencies will in
crease fonly the useless and selfish work
can be promptly and clearly discredited.

Larger appropriations for rivers and

The river and harbor bill has been
facetiously designated as the pork

ural waterways are quite as important to
the nation as the railroads. The latter
are developed by private capital. The
waterways are subject to Federal enter
prise. AS they are to large extent COM

harbors, for commerce. the influence of
the railroads is not favorable TO their

there are waterways and harbors that
only await Improvement TO be productive

needed hint to all the federations of
legitimate charities in the cities of this
country. says the Brooklyn Eagle Af-
ter extolling the objects of the organiza-

al service on the part of those who wish
to give for charity if they would give
wisely. Mr.. Cleveland called attention to
the large number of selfish schemes
which masquerade under tho name of
charity. He pointed out the fact that
the exposude of these organizations
makes suspicious people who are only
too glad to aid any worthy clarity if
they eanf only have ASSURANCE that their
money will go TO relieve real distress.
