cred good wages for workingmau in any OF the
European Countries, e4ce pit Great ritain, " here

silk region and in Italy they often do not get
more than ten cents. In the country in Germa-
ny ten cents is the common pay Women the re

work from four o clock in the morning till nine
in the evening, and do not get more. During
the late war many poor women in Berlin were
hired to knit stockings for the soldiers for FIVE
cents. The profit OF the poor who keep petty
shops, cell trukets in the street, or act az suffers
do not average more than three or four per cent
BARRIERS in Berlin, since the raising OF their pri
