The Daily News, of South Norwalk. thinks we made mistake last week in outing the financial prosperity of Eng land as m argument in favor of the gold standard. Our sstute contempor' ary thinks that argument has been killed by the panper labor of England argument. We do not agree with our friend ''by the sad sea waves" Eng land enjoys great financial prosperity, probably making in this respect next to the United States. and she sscribes this prosperity to her steadfast maintenance of the gold standard. but it does not follow that labor is as we'll paid in Eng land as here, nor that either the Amer ican or the English workingman would be better of with an unsound and dis honest financial system.
