LABOR'S PARADISE.
That's What q Tourist CALI tho United
States.


States.
1.-THE United States Is a paradise for
the workingman," says an American
who has just returned from a FIVE
months trip to Europe. Nowhere in
the world is he paid so much for labor
as in this country. The wages here for
farmers and. workingmen in industrial
lines are fully 100 per cent higher than
in Europe.
1T is true that in some respects liv-
ing is cheaper in Europe than here.
Rents are cheaper, but the real necessi-
ties of life are higher; meat and bread
are fully so per cent higher. The work.
ing people in European countries just
drift; they do not live as Americans
do. When they have meat once week
they are satisfied.
There are plenty of labor unions in
Germany, Austria, Hungary and other
countries, but there are comparatively
few strikes. There is more labor than
demand and the people are glad to get
work at any price. Just now there is
a noticeable industrial depression; this
is much felt in England on account Of
the war. 1t is the climax of period of
expansion Industrial stocks have gone
down materially, and it is felt every
where. 1t is just the opposite of con-
ditions in this country at the present
time; our people are all prosperous
and making good wages.
Another thing which struck me
forcibly is the small salary paid to the
rank and file of the German army
More than 100000 soldiers there, am
told, get little less than 8 cents a
day, and out of this they have to pay
| for their shoe backing and few 9TH
little things. In Austria they get even
less-a little more than cents a day
Comparing this scale of wages with
ours, it makes strong contrast, and II
would seem that we are particularly
liberal"
