The above rates are those which pre-
vailed during the year 1873. 1t should be
observed, says the writer of the report,
that the prices given in England are more
apparent than real, because while the
Englishman appears to receive a compar-
ative!y higher rate of wages. he only
works on hall or two-thrds time, thus
gratifying his desire to preserve a high
rate of wages at the expense of time. 1t
is not necessary to enter into any extended
examination of the above figures to prove
the advantage which the laboring classes in
the United States enjoy over those of any
other country in regard to wages, for sufli-
cient reason that the figures tell the story
better than it can be told in other words.
The next important point bearing on
the condition of the laboring classes in the
countries referred to is the cost of living
In fact, il is equally important as the price
of labor, since the ratio between the result
of labor and the cost Of living is the one
point which should interest intelligent peo-
pie. From the same source we take the
cost of the necessaries of life in the same
countries, the wages of which we have

Labor in Europe-Nages and Cost
OF Living as Compared with
America.

In spite of all that croakers and dema-
gogues have te say about the condition OF
American laborers ut the present time,
this country is the best IN the face OF the
globe for laboring men. Laboring men
in America not only have Il free ballot for
themselves and free schools for their chill
dren, but they have better wages, better
living. and more comfortable homes than
European laborers.
1t has always been the policy of the re-
publican party to enlarge the rights and
privileges and increase the advantages of
the labor:ng class. Our protective tariff
has been largely in the interest of labor,
to furnish employment here at fair wages
and to build up communities TO make
markets near home for the produce OF
farmers. We have resisted the democratic
policy of forcing our laborers To compete
with the foreign labor Of Europe. We
have taken the blacks from slavery and
placed them on the platform of freedom
and free labor We have furnished lands
to millions in the West. where 10y honest
labor they can make themselves owners
of fine farms and houses such as the la
borers of no other government have. The
republican party is the poor mans party.
It, record proves it to be so. And in adj
vocating honest money and free ballot
as it now does il is as much the party of
the poor man as at any time III the past.
That our laborers may see how their
laborers in Europe, we call their attention
to a work recently issued from the State
Department at Washington, which pre-
SCENTS the comparison fairly. Secretary
Evarts, soon after he was appointed, is
sued a circular directing the representa-
tves of the Government of the United
States in foreign countries to collect and
transmit to the State Department all
available facts with reference to the rates
of wages and cost of living of the labor
ing classes. condition of trade, business
systems, industrial pecularties. the cur
rencv, etc, of the localities to which they
were accredited. The reports thus col
lected Secretary Evarts has caused to be
compiled, reviewed and SUMMARIZED and
the same have been published by the or
der of Congress. 1t constitutes ono of
the most valuable contributions of practi-
cal knowledge that has ever been pre-
scented to our people.
One of the most important subjects con-
sidered by the consuls and treated in the
report is the wages which the laboring
classes receive and the cost of living. In
order to show the advantages which this
country affords labor compared with the
leading countries of Europe, the Secretary
Of Slate has caused tables to be prepared
in his report from which we take the fol-
lowing figures. which represent the wages
in Belgium, France, Germany Great
Britain and the United States.

The Council Bills.

Last week we promised to give some inter-
teresting information concerning Mr.. Pills
burys figures relating to Governor Connor ;
Council. On hearing Mr.. Pillsburvs charge
that Mr.. harrington had drawn money lille.
gally from the State Treasury. we immediate
" wrote for an explanation. We append Il
letter from Mr.. Harrington concerning his
bills. He declares them to be all legal, and
his figures show conclusvcly just what we
suspected was the matter, when Mr.. Pills
bury produced the enormous charge of $40 or
$50 per day. 1t was this; Mr.. Pillsbury
took the amount af Mr.. Farrington's bill, and
divided it by the number of days which the
Secretary of States record shows the mem
Der to have been present at executive scs-
sions. He did not reckon the legislative ses-
sion, days spent on State business away from
the capitol, nor the legal bills fo- mileage, as
he should. but Jumped the whole and charged
as so much per day. Mr.. Pilsbury's figuring
is done with intent to deceive the people, and
every honest man should read all disclosures
of his falseness and cnighten others who may
have been misled by them.
