To the Editor Of The Chicago 1T1tuns:
SIN: Your Burlington CWis.) correspondent
suggests, in your paper OF Dec. ST, 1873, cheap
beer IS remedy for the uprising Of the work
ingmen, and states that all kinds Of work Is
better paid here than In Europe; that proTi-.
siona are cheaper here than there; and that
clothing can be had here as reasonable as there~
Will you allow me to make q few statements
