Valuable statistics in regard to the
comparative cost Of living In America
and Europe are given in Tie last Massa.
chuSctts Labor Report:
| One dollar will buy twenty pounds of
flour i'll Boston. one or two pounds more
i'll several European scaEHrts, but the
same or considerably less in majority of
the places compared. In Boston one dol
lar will buy $50 pounds of fresh beef,
roasting piece. In no place in England
will it buy so much by II pound or more,
and in Europe still less, Copenhagen be-
ing the only place given where it will
buy more. Butter in Europe averages Il
pound more to the dollar than here,
chccsc-icss by more than that, except in
few spots. .Et':.a. 49, /; '.,-ss,T ~
AS for potatoes, they arc cheaper ilcrc
than in England, and tlcarcr than in Ire
land or Germany. Seven or eight pounds
Of pork for dollar arc sold here, and not
much over half us much can be obtained
for that sum in England or Europe, and
nowhere rs much. In rice, milk and
eggs, they hive The advantage Of us. Tea
costs less here than in England, but more
than on the Continent With coffee it is
about the same, though the difference is
little. In sugar the British arc little
better off, the Contincntals are n good
deal worse. Coal is cheaper hero than
in Germany, and dcarer than in England.
Mcrrimac or common prints are cheaper
here thnn anywhere in England or Eu-
rope. Boots arc about inc snmc here us
there, generally speaking. There are but
two or three plnccs in England or the
Continent where brown sheetings urc
cheaper than here, while in brown shirt
ings the forcigners are better off. Rent
for four-roomrd lencmcnts is from two To
four times cheaper in Great Britain and
on the Continent than in Boston; in Aus
tria fifteen times cheaper. Board also is
from once and a half to twice SIS cheap in
