No, I didn't think of that."  
Well, lets see:  
"
Spent in Washington, say, ........... $191,000  
Printing, advertising, etc., say .... $118,000  
Charity, say, ....................... $16,000  
Total, ............... $325,000  
The money to do that with, comes from  
--Appropriation, ...................... $200,000  
Ten per cent. assessment on capital of  
$1,000,000 ..................... $100,000  
Total, ............... $300,000  
"
Which leaves us in debt some $25,000 at this moment. Salaries of home  
officers are still going on; also printing and advertising. Next month  
will show a state of things!"  
"And then--burst up, I suppose?"
