United States are double those of Belgium.

times those of Germany, Italy and Japan,
and four times those Of the Netherlands !;
that prices of the necessaries of life are
lower in the United States than IN Europe
That more misery results from strikes,
drinking, socialism and communism in En-
gland and Germany than from all other
causes combined, hard times included. The
state department adds to the above synop.
sis Of reports from which it has prepared for
publication the following remarks: The
reading of these reports will remind many
Of our naturalized workingmen who are so
forward in denouncing the condition of af.
fairs in the United States Of the hopeless
condition OF that labor from which they es-
capped by emigration to this republic and
open their eyes anew to the superior position
Of the workingmen Of this country, it will

and hopeless in Europe, and labor free, in
dependent, honorable and an equal share in
