SHORT TARIFF SERMONS.

COST OF LIVING.

When it is proved that wages arr
so much higher in this country than
in Europe, the ee-Traders reply
that the cost of living is higher in
proportion, and therefore the saw.
ings are no greater.
But the evidence on the subject
is perfectly clear: LIST, that the cost
OF living is not materially higher
End, the savings are very much
greater.
Full details as to cost of living in
Europe will be found in the official
report from American Consuls to
the State Department at Washing
ton. We give only the conclusions
of the report,
Food: cit appears from the re-
port hereto annexed that the Ameri-
can workman consumes more and
better food than the mechanic or
laborer abroad, and that the cost of
this food is as small in the United
States as in Europe"
Clothing: "In general, clothing
can be purchased cheaper in Eu-
rope than in the United States; es-
pecislly clothing of the higher
grades. The same influence which
prompts the higher paid working
man in the United States to pur-
chase better and more varied food
than his European comrade, ex-
tends also to his clothing, for he
buys more and better garments. J"
Consul Shaw, of Manchester, Eng
land, says: 81 believe clothing
similar to that which the English
operatives wear can be purchased
in the United States at about the
same price
"House rent in Europe is appar-
emily lower than here, but the habi-
tations are usually inferior to those
Of the United States.
More exact and comprehensive
Investigations were made on the sub
ject by Carroll ID. Wright, chief Of
the Labor Bureau of Massachusetts,,
in 1888. At that time he found
that the average cost of living of
workingmen in Massachusetts, in
GLIDING rent, was II per cent. higher
than living on the same scale would
cost in England. Excluding rent,
the cost in Massachusetts, was found
to be only five per cent. higher than
in England.
While there is this slight differ
ence in the cost of living, our labor
ers with their high wages can live
far better, and save besides almost
as much as the foreign workman
earns.
