POIygamous Economies.

The private home routine of po-
lygamous family is matter upon
which so much curiosity is constantly
expressed by my acquaintanceS that l
venture to say here what little | know;
but the reader must remember that
less than 10 per cent. of the voting
Mormon population of Utah are polyga-
mistS
The polygamist, as rule, has accu-
mulated some property and owns q
house before he takes a second and
successive wives, though sometimes he
begins by marrying two or three ut
once. All of these marriages. how
ever, except the first. are made secret
ly by the church, and no record of
them is accessible.
In the city, ut least. it is seldom that
the different wives share the same
quarters. In the country this is not SO
uncommon, but the natural unpleasant
ness follows in most cases. The gem
eral method is to have large house,
the main part of which. perhaps, is
occupied by the first wife. and wings or
additions by the successive candidates
for marital honors. These large,
struggling, hotel-like houses are COM
mon in Salt Lake City, and mark q
difference between it and q town of
small houses like Cheyenne, and most
other western villages. In many cases.
however. the husband sets up his wives
in separate homes, either side by side
or in different parts of the city. In
any case each has her own kitchen

nitary of the church whom you might

Cooper and who is possessed of seven
wives. Each of these women have
some farming and garden ground of
her own and all are greatly devoted to
rearing bees. With the help of their
grown children they each raise large
amount of produce and honey annually.
The husband acts as their agent. He
hives their swarms of bees and charges
them for it; he renders special aid
when called upon and is paid for it; he
sells their crops and honey when it is
ready and credits each wife with her
due share. Most of them live in suites
of apartments under the roof of his
great house in town, but the first wife
has beautiful farm of her own a little
out OF the city, to which she and her
children have retired, TO end their days
in peaceful independence.
The way in which this old gentleman
has always arranged his domestic life
is reported to be thus: He had certain
rooms in his house where he kept his
bed. his wardrobe. his books, and SAW
any visitors who called upon him. Here
he was Il bachelor and here he stayed
every other day and night. On alter
nate days and nights he was the guest
of one or another of his wives in regII-
lar rotation, devoting the one day Gn

FINANCIAL DANGER.

The large shipments of gold that
are eekIy sent from New York to
Europe are alarming the f1nanc:ers
and economists of the country. They
think they see il this steady drain
of our money wealth danger to
the prospects and finances Of
America. And there il great danger
and will be while we persist in the
course that We are pursuing. By
our system of imitation of prices,
through u1wise legislation, the cost
of farming, mining and manufact~
unng is greater in this country THAI
in any other on the globe. II We
could and would live within
ourselves, this would be Il
no sig1 fcance, for h'gh-priced
gocGs would be paid for in high
priced labor, and the trade be even.
However, when we come to deal
with other nations we find ourselves
a. great disadvantage. We have
surplus Of goods, but cannot ex
change them for those that we need
from other lands, because it costs
them less to produce than it does us.
England makes yard of cotton c.o:h
cheaper than America doe, and as
consequence the British take their
cloth to B All, Peru and other coun
tries and exchange for the local
products, while we have to keep our
cloth and send money for what we
reuuire from Brazil and elsewhere.
In the past there has been but one
exception to this rule, AMI that 1s
found In the abundance of our agri
cultural products. The wheat from
the fields of the great west has gone
abroad to pay for what we bought,
keeping that much money at home,
thereby maintaining national pros
perity But now it has come that we
cannot compete with other coun-
tries in the products of the farm.
The came system that shuts our
manufactured goods out of the mar
kets of the world, threatens to keep
at home our agricultural products.
Under our inflated scale of values it
costs too much to raise wheat. pork
and beef; and while we have an
abundance Of those articles to spare
purchasers at remunerative prices
cannot be found. Hence the gold
flows out Of the country on every
steamer, and great danger
threatens our national pros
perity. Hitherto American agri-
culture has met the food supply
Of the old world almost without
rival. This advantage has been ex-
hsusted. The American farmer now
needs lower tariff on machinery,
salt, sugar, lumber, building mater
ials and the other necessities of life,
In order to compete with more fay
ored rivals. Take the case Of Indis,
for example. In 1879 India exported
100000 bushels Of wheat, in 1881
six times that amount, and in 1888
Sc, 100000 bushels. The latter figure
is especially significant, as it nearly
corresponds to the present deficit in
our exports Of last years wheat sur
plus. This extraordinary growth of
the Indian wheat trade is not due
to a remarkable yield, but to the
increase Of the wheat area, which
is now about 100000 acres. 1t is
thought that 100000 acres of
Jungle, now productive of little be-
side fevers, snakes and man-eating
tigers, may De reclaimed and added
to the acreage, making the total
76,oOo,OOO, or about double that of
the United States.
It should be- apparent to every
body that America must have a
