Title: A Contrast Author: NFD Date: November 1, 1887 Language: en Topics: Freedom Press, Freedom: A Journal of Anarchist Socialism, letter Source: Freedom: A Journal of Anarchist Socialism, Vol. 2 -- No. 14, retrieved on September 3, 2019, from http://www.revoltlib.com/?id=2978. Notes: Freedom Press, London
DEAR EDITOR,--I beg to call your attention to pages 2 and 5 of the Pall
Mall Gazette of October 22nd. On page 2, Mr. Samuel Laing gives an
account of an Irishman and his family, seven in all, managing to exist
on food that cost "2 1/2d. per day."
Page 5 contains a statement taken down from the lips of a Mr. Cross,
that he had just been to the Zoo to see the newly imported gorilla, and
found that the keepers were tempting the brute's delicate appetite with
a 15s. pine-apple "and the finest English hothouse grapes were to
follow."
But for the moralizing influence of Mr. Morris's play, which I witnessed
last Saturday evening, I would suggest the feeding of the lions and
tigers through the winter with selections from the Zoological Society
and the London Corporation.--Yours disgustedly,
N. F. D.
