He says: ‘'l appears, compsring cities of Europe with in the United States, that bricklay- ers and masous in Chicage are paid very three times the wages, plastereis four times, three times, plumbers nesrly three times, carpenters wice, blacksmiths twice, bookbinders more

Lat he purchasing power of th: rages is greater than ihe purchas i power of similar wages here. It ap-
ears from the reports that the American Wwukman consumes more and beiter food 1an the mechanic or laborer abroad, and
iat the cost of this food is assmallin the United States as in Europe, in general, purchased cheaper Kurope than in the United States, especial- ly clothing of the higher grades. As to relative quantity and quality of clothing, the hasis for an identical comparison does notexist. Honse rentin Europe is ap- parently lower than here, but the habita- tions are Qauaily inferior to those in the United States.

Well Put.
Mr. Sullivan, the Premier of Prince Edward Island, gave the Maritime view of Reciprocity to an Octawa interviewer in these words :
‘Reciprocity would, no doubt, be of ad- vantage to the Maritime Provinces. But there is little use of taiking of Reciprocity vutle the United States stands aloof from i There is at present a etatutory invita-
su, passed bythe Dominion Parliament to the Americans, when they are pleased to accept a Reciprocity treaty. However, Canada has now arrived at « point when she can get along without Reciprocity-—at any rate much better than she could have done in the past.”
The Toronto Mai! says: This is trne.
Twenty years ago the Americans sought by refusing to re-enact thetreaty of 1854 to starve us into annexation. Theresult has been the steady development of Canadian industry. We are infinitely stronger to- day than in 1865, and mach better able to do without Reciprocal trade. The passagefof what Nir. Suliiven aptly terms a ‘statutory nvitaiion’ to Reciprocity is allthat can be expected of Canada considering that her proposols in 1874 were rejected with scant courtesy. The next overtures must frera Washington.

Sir,—While there are so many disgrace- ful things in connection with our city—so many things which should be talked about and written about and reformed, if possible —itis rather surprising that the Patriot and its correspondents should waste their evergies in attacking our well managed and geaerally efficient City Schools. The | Fotriot must confess that * the feeling of {discontent ” about which it prates is ex- , ceedingly weak ; for, until its correspon- }dent, ** A Citizen "—whose avowed object | is to decrease the expenditures of the School
Board—rushed ali too hastily into print, the public journals contained only com- jmendatious of the City Schools. The dis- content—there will always be some discon- tent—has been and is confined to particular j families ayainst particulas
| individuals Ox jclausses in the schools, while the body of
now marching towards! ihe people are of one mind that the trnatees ;
lare careful avd judicious and that the teachers are, on the whole, and efiicient.
