Valuable Admission.

While Matthew Arnold in his re-
cent paper complained much of Ameri-
can civilization, he made one very note
worthy admission in our favor. He
said:
On the other hand, for the great bulk
of the community, the class of people
whose income is less than three or four
hundred (pounds) a year, things In
them there than in the old world to rise
and make their fortune; but am not
speaking of that. Even without max
ing their fortune, even with their in
come below three or four hundred
year, things are favorable to them in
America. Society seems organized
there for their benefit. To begin with
the humber kind of work is better paid
in America than with US, the higher
kind worse. The official for instance
gets less, his office keeper gets more.
The public ways are abominably cut up
by rails and blocked with horse cars,
but the inconvenience is for those who
use private carriages and cabs, the con-
Yenience is for the bulk of the commun-
ity, who but for the horse cars would
have to walk. The ordinary railway
cars are not delightful but
they are cheap, and they are
OObOOA lHQ III W1uGC1 6AC
warmer than third class carriages in
England. LuXuries are as have said
very dear; above all, European luxuries
but workingman's clothing is nearly
as cheap as in England and plain food
| is on the whole cheaper. Even luXurieS
of certain kind are within labor
| ing mans easy reach.
This admission goes a long way
toward offsetting all the Sad things
Arnold was pleased to say about US
One of our proudest boasts is that this
is the best country on earth for a pool
man. Workingmen get better wages
here and have more opportunities fol
advancement than anywhere else under
the sun. Every man has an equa
chance with his neighbor for improv
ing his condition and his destiny; tn
rich men of this generation were, as 6
rule, the poor men of the last. There
are moro people who belong to the
middle classes in this country than il
any other nation of the world. anC
they live more comfortably. A poo
man in almost any European State
must remain poor man until he dies
and there is no such class as the mid
die class. Mr.. Arnold may not law
known it, but in the above criticism h
has paid this country compliment o
the highest possible order.
