The Cost of q King.

1t is again reported that the Prince of
Wales-first on the list for the throne Of
Great Britain, and supposed by virtue of
that fact, to be the first gentleman of the
age--is unable to meet his obligations on
an annual income of half a million of dol
lars. He is badly in debt at this time
not the first by any means-and our neigh
Dor, the English government, scarcely
knows what to do about it. To paw off
his debts will, of course, only encour-
age him to rush on and contract more;
while to repudiate them, and let him swing
off as a recognized bankrupt, would
scarcely do. The result will undoubtedly
be that the debt will be paid, and others
contracted with the same reckless disre-
gard of the ordinary rules of justice and
honor.
We do not see how It is possible for the
men whose labors earn the money expend-
ed in that way, not to feel and think some
times, even though they may not dare to
say, that the cost of preparing and sup
porting an executive head tor their
government is rather more expensive than
it should be, and will they not ask them
selves-itist as some of us certainly would
if we lived over there-would it not be
better to find some other way to manage
their business, for example, select head
already made when one is needed, rather
than spend so many millions in making
one in regard to which there is never any
thing like reasonable certainty that il
will be fit for the purpose for which it is
wanted?
And another pertinent-we hope moi
MISUNDERSTANDING arises in this con
nection. Is it quite right for the largest
and most powerful kingdom on earth tc
place before its subjects and the rest of the
world, the example of a man held in re-
serve for its throne, and liable to be placed
upon it at any hour, who is admitted to be
habitually regardless of the common obi
cations of Justice and integrity in business
affairs? av avasf sss.usff E.fse ef.
Is this good example? and will sys
| tenn of government open to such abuses
and providing no way to guard agains
them be permitted to continue right or
| forever?
This, however, is question that doei
not ceneern~ns, except SO far as it seems
right to. consider a subject which the sterr
| logic of events actually occurring inevita
| bly, presses upon every rejecting mind.

No single newspaper article of
the present decade created a pro-
founder sensation than the Chicago
Times editorial on the slavery of
farmers wives. It enforced thought
and enquiry, and thus awakened
the public mind to an enormity that
hitherto excited but little attention.
1t is not urged that all farmers
wives are drudges. Many of them
perform no more work than is es-
sential to vigorous health. But
thousands and tens of thousands of
them are worked into their graves.
These are the women who build
the fires, cook meals three times a
day, for a force of men, feed and
milk the cows, do the washing and
ironing for dozen persons, make
the butter and cheese, do the mar
keting,'pu up the fruits, cultivate
the kitchen garde n-womenF who
commence their round of toll by
starlight in the morning, an hour OF
more before the stronger men are
out of bed-and end it near mid.

men go to bed and sleep. The far

hearing but few complaints from
his toiling wife-doing his worl
and seeing that hers is done, ask

that while his wife can get through
with her work it would be a need

a servant to help her. When at tn,

slavery to which we allude

Many farmers are as considerate fo
the heath Of their wives as they ar

undeniable, nevertheless, that, as

Question I5.-How to adjust
eouitably the questions of transport
tation and inter State commerce?
.SuggcstionS.-This question is of
such magnitude that it should at
tract the attention of the American
people. 1t should be adjusted upon
the principle of exact justice to all
men. This can be done only after
tits thoroughly understood. Hence
the necessity of studying it well,
and discussing it in every Subordi-
nate Grange in the land, so that it
NAV be fully understood by all
members. This is of the utmost
Importance, in order to be prepared
to cooperate in applying remedies
in adjustments. Government must
control these monster monopolies,
or in their greed for wealth and
power they will control the Gov
eminent, which means suffering,
want and ruin. Speedy legislation
by State and Nation must be made.
But legislation in the past has been
largely in the interest of monopolies,
and made so by the ill-gotten gains
flched from the farmers. Ma
change can be hoped for, as long as
corporations are permitted to con-
troll conventions, elections and
legislation. Justlegislation req uires
honest Legislators, men of undoubt.
ed integrity, men whose fidelity
can withstand the temptation OF
demagogues, men who would sPurn
with contempt the idea of being
bought or sold. .e-a IL a.s-
