AMERICAN AND BRITISH WORKING
MEN

When forced to admit that the wages
paid to mechanics and laDorers in the
United States, under the policy of Pro
lection, are from one half to three
fourths higher than wages paid in Eng
land in the same lines of service, the
free trade attorney claims that this is
JUSTIFIED by the difference in the cost of
living in the two countries. And as
usual he is wrong
That his contention is not true can be
proved bv market quotations within
reach of every man who cares to inves-
tigate. The fact is that only very
few of those articles required for family
use are higher in Chicago or New York
than in London or Manchester These
are sugar. house rent, and few articles
of wooden clothing The English work
man can save something on thu item of
fuel not ia the price. but IN the quan-
tity consumed; because in mider
climate SO much is not required. House
rent is higher here because the men who
prepare materials aud build and furn-
ish houses in this country are better
paid than English mechanics who do
the same work The fact that so much
of what the Englishman consumes is
drawn from this country. is demonstra-
ton that in meats. breadstuffs. butter.
cheese coal oil. and some of the fruits.
Americans have the advantage in prices.
True that the American workingman
does spend more for the table supplies
of the family than his English cousin
does for \ family of equal size. but in
vestigation will disclose the fact that
this is because The Americans table is
more beautifully supplied He spends
more because he gets more money fol-
his labor. and chooses To give his wife
anil children the benefit o. that surplus.

LITERARY NOTES

The August number of The Forum
will contain remarkable essay. by
Prince 2. Kropotkin, on 1.-THE POssbili-
ties of Agriculture. He has made o
thorough investigation of the fabulous
results of the scientific cultivation Of
land in the most densely populated por-
tons of Europe. and he shows the ease
with which the number of acres now
cultivated in the civilized parts of the
world can be made to yield sustenance
for many times the number of people
now alive. Scientific and intense agri-
culture in the United States. for instance,
can be made to sustain in plenty, and
with much greater cheapness than now.
a population at least ten times as dense.
The writer shows conclusively why it is
that such slow progress is made
in these revolutionary im-
proyements in agriculture: but
he predicts with confidence that we
are on the eve of the reign OF plenty. He
proposes that hundred acres be Gull
tivated in this way as part of the ex-
position at Chicago, in order to dem
onstrate the possibilities of multiply
ing many times the products Of the
American farmer.
