To the Editor of The ChtcIeo tribune:
SIR: In last Sundays TRIBUNE, under the
head Of !. Womnn's Treasures" occurs tho fol-
lowing: "Thcre are many noble, sad-hearted
women tho world could ii afford to lose. who
know nothing Of this crowninG joy, maternity
/ do not speak Of them. But those to whom
God has given children haro no need to seek
fields III which to labor"
Tho great question involving 30 much has
surely q firmer basis, d broader foundation, than
personal need. If the woman filling tho Hca-
ycn-allotted ministry Of wife and mother has
her sure Defense aud is happy in her security,
then let her influence be nevertheless used
IN BEHALF OF THE STRUGGLING ONES
who are on the field unprotected, and who are
only the victims Of circumstances less favorable
than her own.
We would not have her neglect the tender
plant, nor delay tho preparation for the great
harvest for which she is responsible; neither.
as g wife, would we have her folsake her c1ta-
del of nonor. nor add ono tithe ou tho scale of
care; but we would ask her, as woman true
shell, leaving virtue, weakness. and dependence,
to struggle herolcally for tho ife-hoat without
so much as throwing straw to the rescuo;
NOT TO LOOK OK coMrLAcESTLY
while das:ng wave bur1es humanity from
sight, only rising to be borne away by stronger
force.
Heretofore society has not declared that wom-
an shall foreso tie duties OF homo and all its

by neglected duties, why should the same intlu-

The Question CT wages.

To The Editor Of Tic chica9o Tl1bant:
Sir: One Of your correspondents OF Last sun
day thoroughly porverts the meaning OF pas
sage in my last article, by implying prlnclPse
that man should recoivo more than woman for
~ the sanao quantity and quality of work.
That implication il, to nay tho least, rather EN-
guar in view Of tho fact :hat my article States
again aud again that, generally speaking,
WOMAN DOES NOT POSSESS
tha earning and 1aboling capacity OF man,
which certainly implies that she docs not fnr-
nisll. AZ the same quantity hnd quality Of work.
That the game quantity and quality OF work il
not only untitled to-, but does actually receive
the samo pay, unleas tie natural working OF
commerce ID tnmpered with by the enforcement
Of special privileges in favor OF monopolsts.
il 40 much matter OF course that am unable
to perceiYe how q thinking man can even question
it. So far from denying TINT facs, tue passage
quoted by tho correspondent, Oh tAA contrary
emphatlcaly atllrms 1T. as it Is neither moro nor
less than protest against tho complaint which
tho female rights party is continually re5alng
us with, and the burden Of which IL q general
charge of injustice against the world III general,
aud the employers Of female labor i'll particular,
that the latter paY their female employees by
different standard ofwascs than their male ones,
merely because the first are of the fclnaIo sex
aud tie latter of tile male soz Those lusty
NAt~ %NA>'AN.A
whetlor tho reasun Of that difference i'll uay ID
not either the aiucsence in tbs quality and 4uan-
lity of work furnished, as it
USDoUDTEDLY is IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES,
or the working OF the law OF competitions, which
offers female labor in certain apparently -Eenteei
brnuches OF employment at 8 less price than
mule labor, because ''the Working Wol1au needs
only to support her own sell, while man, If lie
wants to supply his natural wants, must earn
enough to support himself and female and
IL, OH that account, driven to dc,naud aad insist
Oh sucl. wages as will euahle h1tu to supply tho

THIS will, / hope; suffice to correct the aston
ishing statement Of your correspondent. The
question OF wages has no direct bcaling or coll
ncctlon With the subject proper Of the discussion
(won,an-sufrra+e), which latter il merely
political question. while the proprietieB Of
woula1l's work aud wages are part AND parcel OF
the great social question relating to the general
conditions existing between labor and capital: 1t
nav, however, sat the correspondent to thinking
wAeni tAko the liberty of telling him that 1T is
one Of The cardinal axioms OF social economy,
that whrlo competition regulates prices, compet'.

man;" and that consequently, even if it does
not appear at nil times On tue surface OF things.
it il none tho less indirectly true, that ''neces-
sity is tho law Of wages" JouS II. BECKER.

Spowden moiutained that all compu-
tatiops Involving the principles OF per

pie principles OF analysis or proportion,
and that many oil the rules given in the
books under the head OF applications
OF per centsge," are OF no value, and on
" calculated 10 confuse and embarass

colleges aud universities Of the old
world, as we'll as those OF our own

OF rewards to those who distinguish
themselves in literary and scientiIic &C.
ouirements. He furthermore main
tsinee that the Almighty, in his deal
ings with mankind, offers rewards or
prizes" SO inducements to do right
Mr.. Snowden dissented from the
opinions expressed by Nj Boyd, and
contended that TO offer special rewards
in way OF "prizes" to the pupils IN our
public schools, who might Distinguish
themselves by rapid proficiency in their
studies, while it might Induce few Of
the more gifted By nature to.a little extra
effort TO MAINTAIN their standing at the
head of their classes, would at the same
time have dlscouraging effect upon
those less gifted, but often more Uor-
thy, creating feeling OF erv! and dis
