Dor in America during the last forty
years. In spite ofthe existing agen.
lies for improvement, it is doubtful
whether the working class in Amer.
lea were not falling still further from,
the high ideals Of operative life
which once brilliantly distinguished
America from Europe. He argued
that although wages were 90 per
cent. higher in America than in Eng.
land, au English artisan would be no
richer there, owing to the greater
coss of living, but that his social
status would be higher. He endsay.
ored to show that the tariffin Amer.
lea had no influence Oh wages. He
said workingmen were not likely 70
initiate free trade, and that the
movement was more likely TO be OF
fected through internal competition.
Here is an Eagliskman adn.ittlne
that wages are 60 per cent. higher
in America than In England. He
ought to know. Some Of these

A. j. Criswell started first, dressed
in q handsome uniform of bicycle
shirt, knee breeches, silk stockings,
low shoes and skull cap, and the
manner in which he spun around the

that he was a safe man to bet on. Mr..
Hamill next appeared but not i'm uni
