THE WORKINGMAN.
HIS CONDITION IN THE UNITED STATES
AND EUROPE CoNTRAsTED.-yALUA
RESULTS OF INQUIRIES ABROAD.

wAsHtSGroS. Aug. 5.-Reports from
Z. S. Consuls on the condition of labor in
the several countries Of Europe, provided
for publication by the Department OF
State, will be ready for distribution in a
few days. These reports cover all phases
of the labor question in Europe and show
the following startling facts:
First-That wages in the United States
are double those Of Belgium, Denmark,
France and England, three times those OF
Germany, Italy and Spain, and four times
those of the Netherlands.
Second-That the prices of the neces-
saries of life are lower in the United
States than in Europe and that the labor
er in the United States, were he satisfied
with the scanty and miserable fare on
which Europe must live, can purchase
the like food for less money than it can
be purchased in Europe.
Third-That French working people
with far less wages are happier than the
working people of Great Britain, who
receive the highest wages in Europe, on
account of the steadiness and economical
habits of the former, and the strikes,
drinking habits and consequent reckless
ness of the latter.
Fourth-That more misery results from
strikes, drinking, Socialism and Com
munism in England and Germany than
from all other causes combined, hard times
included. Congress only provided for
the publication Of $4,000 of these re-
ports. 5000 for the House. 1000 for the
Senate, and 5000 for the Department OF
State.
