A COMMON STORY ABOUT LABOR ABROAD.

C.. b. Webster, United States Consul at
Sheffield En- gland reports TO the Department Of State
that of wages there have not diminished since
1873 but have in increased, notwithstand
ing the great depression OF business Nevertheless the
gross earnings OF the workman may have been less be-
cause he has had less work do. The prices Of prov
sions have advanced in articles and fallen IN
Others so that the living has been about the same
during kthe last five years. American fresh meats anu
canned meats extensively sold, and have tended to
keep down prices There is strange prejudice, how
ever against American meats more among the ignorant
poor than among better aud intelligent casses
On the whole may be said that rates OF have
advanced, and that the cost OF living has remained
nearly the same since 1873. Machinery, the Consul
thinks has been friend TO the workingman inasmuoh
by working by the piece he can turn out more pieces
with machinery than without. Steemelters S0a
