GERMAN PRICES HIGHER.
Cost Of Living Declared to Be Much
Less In This Country.

A long and interesting report on the cost
Of living in Germany has just been re-
ceived at the Department OF State from
Consul Harris at Chemnitz. Mr.. Harris
compares the prices of foods in America
and those in the empire, and 1t can be very
readily seen that they are much higher in
Germany. In regard to meats. the consul
states that the question Of cheap meat for
the poor classes is beginning to agitate the
empire and. as was to have been expected,
the tariff laws enacted in favor Of the
landed proprietors have not produced the
desired effect. Germany produced about 70
per cent of her own foodstuffs. It was
claimed that the remaining % per cent
could also be produced by better system
of intensive farming. II somewhat facilitated
by a tariff which would protect the homo
meat and grain markets.
Consul Harris calls attention to the fact
that the importations of all kinds Of meats
from the United States fell of from Al, DAB
tons worth 50 44S,6 600. In 1893. to 4,342 tons,
worth $3.50. .Ss2. in 1904. He says this was
due to the severe laws regarding meat In
spections and adds that Denmark, Holland,
