Pauperism In New York

-Jutlging fromaft abstract of nn official document respecting Pauperism in New York, given in the New York Repubfic, we should infer that the inslability in our commercial policy ha6 acted most unfavorabiy opon the interèsls of that State The Btatistics are rearly etartling. The whoie number of regular paupers is -82,754: occasional; 62,754; making atotal of 144,801, who have been sustained during the ycar at an expence of 8592,253. The labor of these paupers has yielded only $58,653, leavinga nett cxpenditure of O583,694! The increase in the number the past year was 21,314 or 5 per cent,; and the incrsase of expense 872,980. or 15 per cent. The increase in New York city alone, was 7000! Foreignere con6titutc a large portion of these paupers. We are accustrmed to think our country abounds above all othera in thegood ihings of life; and yet, the Empire State is already, in respect to pauperism, beginning to take its place with the overburdened nations of the Old World. The proportion of paupers to the whole population is in New York, i to 18 France, 1 ' 20 S weden, 1 " 42 England, . 1 " 10 Holland, i 8 It is astonishing that there should be a larger proportion of paupers in New York than France. Truc, we must al!ow for the'foreign influx of pauperi..m. For example, of 25,624, whose place of iiativity are rcported, only 14,416 were natives of the United States. But why should there be so maify foreign paupers, amongui? Wiave nn unb )unded extent of terntory- cheap lands and living - every natural advanta-ge for making the masses comfortable. - Cin. Herald.
