NEW ZEALAND AND AMERICA COMPARED.

A New Zealandhe, now in Ameiica, haa■■ -j sent to a friend in Dunedin some informs. tiou about the canning of meat industfy^B Incidentally he compares the rcspcc™||| merits of the United States and New Zeafea land as a home-for working men :^Hm|||J canned meats are used by the million," lijfc;] every city from Uakfotda to Niw YortraSß and in every grocery store in those great - • cities, you can put chase tinned meals iMflj that you can at once judge what the sumption of the article is like. The reSB that these tinned meats are so exfeiljj|||lS used is that in the Eastern fctates the price.,, of fresh meat is very high, and thon'lmll meat has to go through so many hands hion it reaches the consumer. For example, in summer we had to pay 'for good sirloin , steak about 25 cents (or ls) per lb; for l.c derloin steak, 35 cents; for mutton ud^E lamb chops, from 22 to 24 cents'; ,' aßf^^M toasts, about the same, I just mentiw this to show you what prices they::g?ft^ffl meat in this country, In neatly everj'/tolltl of goods of which there is a large consume tion, the dealers have what" they corner," which means that all the. wholesale, men dealing in a line of goods cUnhlne fa. put what price they want to on thmlatjigsH cles, the result boing that when the c0m,,„,, 1 sumer goes to buy the same he must pay whatever is demanded. Though this.coi%j S ,|j try is a great producer it does not folio* ~ f that you can buy many things c&*R<fsl§§| the contrary many things are soipnsiiig'fc ; dear. For in^ance, you can'buy-41pj||" can meat cheaper in London ,re^sifPl you can buy it in the eastern. cities of America. In fact every article of food M, ■ is exported from this country, can be bought cheaper at the places Ihey are seat to than they can be purchased here tot. As the papers say, the railway.compaiii«3|H| aod 303 or. 4QO other large corporauo^ag really control the fifty millions "of P^S?Mm| the Union. Would not the MjiH farmers of New Zealand begladdeaWffl they could get 10s per cwt. for Ihat || potatoes? Here, during the summer W IM' price was 4dol to sdol (16s to 20a): pet cwt. That was the price when the potaw reached the consumer. The Ban^^H applies to meats. The 21b tin retails at*) | cents each. From the foregoing you w , readily perceive that the folk, in WW:'---ji Zealand will never be large consutnerso- 1 . tinned meats, so long as they can go > 9 ; their butchers and buy fresb.meat «|I from 5d to 6d per lb. Another reason «;:., I the tinned meats are so largely useaia . that in the summer time, when the .reaper is so hot that people are half-ioastea a their hou'D?, all iires are let to go out, ana ; ii no cooking ls done. In New Zealand w , are not troubled in that way. ™o ita»*;dßM from my test, and lo offer a few words m i advice. I would say that the wpW f New Zealand do not know when they are; , well off. They have the finest climate g tbo world, and I say tbis because^glilß been all over the world and seen.lormi ..Ah self. Then they can live. cheaper. a»» ■ better than iv any other place I have m to during my travels, of course, in")1-; ■ this, I allude to the relative i. c»'jllH what I may call tbe staff ol life, «*"-H mutton, bread, aod potatoes, \,1^z,,]t. 1 , ..„„. New Zea'and as the paradise;of W-f. '"A". v ing men. In America it is line that w . working classes get good wages, bi» l , cost of living is high in proportion. ■. *""£ . | our printers are severe, so that , aiJ ' ■; amount of outdoor work caunot-be row. which causes short time when we yew ■ ■: ended. 1 his is my candid opinion fW .a I Zealand, compared with other "mi to <" ! world I have visited. Mr ,Jt^"^.: Dunedin, has iustbeen all round theyonoj and he will, I think, agree with inyopßW" Oa this point* ■ ■■■■_.:
