CORRESPONDENCE.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —1 am pleased to see that someone has at last taken up this question of sending homo sums of money to keep the poor of one of tho richest countries in the world from starving.

If Engbnd will. not,snpport her own inhabitants then the Lloyd-Georges and other legislators of the "Land of the Free" should tax.her poor capitalists in'such a manner as to comp'd them to do so. While no one dispute* the incentive which i« t'"> movement the principle of a heavily mortgaged country supporting' the paupers of its rich niortg:geo i? ridiculous. —T am. etc., REX.
