Pr,nt.nr In EarIand and America.

Louis easier, the founder OF Casters
Magazine" has given me some interest
Ing facts respecting the comparative
prices Of paper and printing in-America
and England. As an English edition Of
that American engineering periodical Is
issued contracts are made In both coun-
tIies for the same work. The cost OF
Zee magazine paper for Illustrating Is
eight and q half cents IN England, as
against seven and q half cents In New
York. The cost Of press-work Is prac-
tically the same, being ten shillIngs
against $3.50. The cost OF composition
III also the same, although the printers
wages In America are double those of
English printers This Is because the
does more work In the same number Of
hours.
Electrotyplng Is much more expensive
IN England than In America. The cost
of binding Is S13.G4 In London, rs
against SO In America. The cost Of fine
engraving for illustrating books and
magazines is fifty per cent. more In
England than In America. The English
processes are inferior In artistic quality
TO the American.
1neSe statements maze by practical
business man tend to prove that the man.
ufacture Of books and magazines is
cheaper in New York than In London.
Composition and presswork cost no
more, and paper, binding. engraving
and electrotyping are all cheaper. II
the royalties paid to American authors
are lower In America than in England
II Is because the cost OF advertising and
distributing books through The retail
trade Is much greater. Exert In fine

quired for newspaper. book and maya

TYRANNouS SOCIALISM.
A Monstrous PROPOSAL That the Liberals
Are Bound to Resist.

Are Bound to Resist.
No system which the brain Of man
has ever devised carries that tyrannous
repression 80 far as socialism, says the
Fortnightly Review. Liberty, let me re-
peat, means the power Of a man to
make the most and best Of himself; to
develop fully his personality. This is
his aboriginal, imprescriptible, inalien-
able right, its limit being that the cor
responding right of others is not in
fringed. And privals property Is real
lied liberty.
1t is, in its first idea, the guaranty to
an individual person of what has been
wrought, through the exercise Of his
personality, by labor and abstinence. It
is essential to the development and
maintenance Of personality In this
work-a-day world. 1t is requisite for
the very existence of the family. But
socialism, even In its mildest type,
means the confiscation Of private prop
erty, the destruction Of the family and
the humiliation Of individual freedom.
1t proposes to remedy what It calls
not altogether without reason-thc
slavery Of labor, not by indicating the
liberty Of the laborer. but by establish
ing a system of universal servitude.
This monstrous proposal the liberal
party in England is bound to resist
even, If necessary, to the shedding of
blood. And to the shedding Of blood tho
matter is not unlikely to come In the
long run. For socialism is rather a sect
than party. Its votaries are animated
by a spirit akin to that Of religious en-
thusiasm. They are largely Of the stun
OF which martyrs are made.
Assuredly, the privilege Of sealing
their testimony with their blood should
be withheld from them as long as posi-
BILE. But 1t may not be always possible.
And as assurediy the preservation Of the
fair frame Of civilization is Of far more
account than are the lives Of few fools
and fanatics.
