Tho incroaao in American travel in Europe
has baon 80 largo as to Induce the Saturday Re-
vieao to discuss 1t with rofercnco to its influence
OH tho vested right Of Euglisl,mon to the former
monopoly Of Continental tours. 1t complains
that American tourists havo raised tho prices
everywhere. Wo do not think TINT the charge
can bo sustained 30 far as It affects Englishmon.
It is truo that Americans abroad aro, as q rule,
lavish with their money. Most Of them, wo may
even admit, spend monoy foolishly, and havo
IN this why encouraged tho rise iu pricos which
has been the tondeucy for many yoars pnst. But
this very lavislanoBs iH tic mcans for Keeping
tho Americans and Englisl, apart. Tho average
Cockney OH tho Continent is the picture OF par
simony. Alargo proportion Of tho Englishmon
who 70 abroad nre actuated as much By motives
OF economy as doairo for travel, information,
or pleasure. Tho Englishman with small
income, and no business or profession,
can live more choaply on tho Conti-
nent than ho can ut homo, and, on
tllis account alone, ho frequently takes
up ha residence in France or Germany, indulg-
ing i'll occasional travel. Tho pursuit Of
pleasure at any cost Of money, on tho part OF
Americans, and the pursuit Of economy at any
cost Of pleasure, OH tho part of the English,
naturally keep them apart, and ono class really
exarts worry little influence on the other.
Though speaking tho same language, tho intel
ligons Trench or German hotol-keoper, or rail-
vanguard, or ehop-grl Gun toll tho American
aud Englslman apart at q moro glance. How
ever foolish American travellers abroad may
bo with their money, they arc not, therefore,
likely to affect tho conditions or charges
in the case Of travelling Englishmen, for their |
lines Of travel are financially and socially speak
ing, in different directions. Tile purpoao Of tho |
Saturday -Reuie,o, in estimating tho influence |
OF American travel abroad, WIS to got In the tra-
ditonal and conventional Hnoers. For instance, |
tho usual objection to tile nasal uttorauces Of |
Americans is commented upon at longth. A
Chicago gentleman Of education ausl culture,
Who Inns recently returned from tour OF Great
Britain, Bays that he could talk Irish in ireland
and Scotch in Scotland, and found Ais only diti-
Guilty in talking English in England. We arc not |

tho faults or follios Of Americana on the conti-
mont may bo, they arc botter thought Of than |
tho other people who Hpoak tho same language.
