If we can not rely upon the official statements of the consuls of the United States and can not rely upon the statement of the Secretary of State upomi whon can we rely? We are told agai that All laboring people ill England are beggars and panpers who are living ilumost in the gaitcr. auld that free trade in England has brought thin down to the starvation pointy and hence our people should be protected against that character of pauper labor. when the fict is that the English operative is certainly better paid than any olier operative in Europe as compared with the French. German. Belgian. or any one else. and England is at l east holding her own in tie markets of the world.
