a STATEMENT of the rate of
wages paid laborers in Denmark
is given in a Danish paper pub
lished at Manistee, Mich. In that
country city laborers receive $I46
per year and board themselves.
Farm laborers receive $1O9 per
year and board themselves. Ser
want girls get $3.50 per year.
Carpenters and builders are paid
one dollar per day, while skilled
laborers and mechanics get 6S
cents per day. These figures are
taken from the government report
on labor and wages. 1t may also
be of some interest to know that
the worker of the family, the man.
expects to have meat once a day,
but the women and children have
it only once a week. The tactics
of the democracy seem to bring
this country to free trade level
when our laborers will be on an
equality with poorly paid laborers
of Europe.
