One of the most interesting features of this inquiry is that which relates to tae relative saertu o tnriisa ana foreign labor. The British manufacturers and the workmen themselves do aot hesitate to say that in many departments work to now more thoroughly and more intelligently done with us, for instance, tbaa it is in England. This reverses the old .situation of things, for fifteen years ago it was the fashioa here to look to Great isritam tor sol hi ana auraoe workmanship, aad to expect muck less from that at borne. Now we are told that even ia London, Sheffield, Manchester, and Birmingham, American manufactures of many kinds are in demand because of their superiority to those of home production, and goods are recommended and warranted in the f bops as from the United States. Our statistics of export show that the quantity of these articles oaa not be very great, ani it is well knows that over-supply and the dullness of our market induced some of our manufacturers to ship goods to England even to be sold at a loss or without, profit. It to a proof, however, of our recent advances ia manufacture that these articles were at once prised there for their quality; aad a new and permanent market for certain classes of them has been established. A writer ia the London Hjncerig, who has been for some time past carefully comparing English aad American industries, and who is evidently familiar i with both, puts us ahead ia many reSsoeets. Our factone?, be says, are say more comfortable aad are better orgaaiied. We are less troubled by strikes. The average intelligence of the work man to higher, aad thereto an ambition to de well whatever is undertaken in our best establishments, though he finds many ia which the work to careless aad the methods variable.
