ENGLAND IMPRESSED

Although Great Britain in the past
policy. it has frequently furnished Of
fetal data strongly supporting the Am
erican protective tariff policy. In
1911 the British board of trade made
study of wages and living conditions
in the United States and made re-
port which was published by order Of
the British government. The report
included statistics regarding family
living budgets among the working
classes in American cities On this
subject the report says:
by the budgets as a whole, how
ever, various features are brought in
to relief. and among these may be
mentioned the high level Of family in
come, the large contribution made
by the children in the higher-income
classes. the insignificant earnings of
the wisss. xihe considerable expendi'
ture on food, and the large proper
tion of income remaining after the
cost of food and rent has been de-
Quoted"
That paragraph of the report should
be of interest to every laboring man
in America. When American chill
dren become wage earners. they are
found by the British investigators to
be in the higher income" classes.
The British investigating committee
was also surprised to observe the in
significant earnings of the wives
This is a splendid testimonial of the
high standard Of wages of the Amer
lean workman which renders it un-
necessary for his wife TO become a
wage-earner in order to provide a liv-
ing for the family. Notwithstanding
the fact that the wife is in a very
small number of instances wage
Garner the British committee found
the American table so we'll supplied
that it was impressed with the 'con-
siderable expenditure on food" In
addition to all this, showing that the
hbofing man in America is able to
make good living for his family
without sending his wife out as a
vazeeaEner, special note is made Of
the large proportion Of income re-
naming after the cost of food and
rent has been deducted"
With this evidence from q free
trade source proving the superiority
