The miquity Of the Hanna ship sub
sidy bill is evident enough. All Of the
American shipyards are stocked with
contracts for more than q year ahead.
The ship-building industry is flourish

taxing Of the American people nearly
two hundred millions Of dollars to give
more business to an already gIutted
monopoly, to swell the earnings of the
big steamship companies, and to pay
bigger wages to shipmasteTs and en-
plOyes, and to even pay for the coal
that the liners burn is a damnabIe
piece Of legislation; but it wiz 60, and,

Naming the Prince OF wales.

the people of Wales. After ensour-
aging the Welsh, he was anxious to get
their good viii, and so, when it happen
ed that his first baby prince was born
In CarnarvOn, In Wales, he had a
bright idea. He announced that his
boy was a native of WaIes-one who
could speak Welsh just as well as any
other tongue this was true, as the
baby was but a few weeks old), and he
should therefore be the peoples own
prince, Edward, prince Of Wales, says
Forward. Pwenty-three years after
this baby became king of England, and
about so years later his grandson had
assigned to him, as the third prince of
Wales, the crest and motto which has
been borne by all the English kings
sons who have since that day had the
title. The crest is three ostrich feath-
srs, and the motto is the sentence. IIeh
iien"-"I serve" 1t was given to the
Black Prince, 8 boy Of great promise,
who fought bravely at the battle of

WAGES IN MILFORD.

The remark was recently made
here that wages in Milford were too
low. That a laboring man could
not support his family properly, pay
rent and such contingencies as doc
tors bills, fuel, ETC., on the present
price of labor. The gentleman quot
ed quite largely employs labor
and says he uniformly pays men
more than the current rate per day,
simply because he believes the GO
ing price is not sufficient for their
needs, and that where a better price
is paid better results will be obtain
ed. He thinks a man will be honest
enough to try to earn his money,
and that therefore both employer
and employee will be gamers.
There is much practical philosophy
in this idea, and if true it is a strong
argument for an advance in wages.
When q laborer makes an honest ef-
fort to earn his money, exhibiting
care, skill and faithfuluess to the in
terests of his employer his efforts
should receive recognition by an
advance in wages and if such an ad-
vance is incentive to others to be-
come more proficient the expert
ment of an advance would be of ad-
vantage to both classes. 1.-THE lab
orer is worthy of his hire" and the
converse of the proposition that the
hire should be commensurate with
the work done is fair and proper.
There is no doubt tendency on the
part of the employers to grind the
face of labor, and there is perhaps,
and 1t may arise from this cause, a
tendency likewise on the part of
some employees to shirk. There is
however this fact that man who is
known to be faithful to his work,
who is sober in habits, and capable
in the performance of his duty is
always in demand. Such men need
not be idle and they are always as
sured of good wages. 1t seems
therefore, that primarily at least
tho matter of rise rests with the
laborers themselves. If they make
themselves worthy of a price they
can command it. The employer
does not care to take the risk of
having poor job done and then
pay full price for it nor of employ
ing man at good wages who will
shirk and perhaps do him an injury
There are number of good farms
in this vicinity awaiting careful,
competent industrious tenants.
Men who will strive to better their
conditions when they have the cap
ital offered them and are only re-
quired to work to make themselves
prosperous Should the landlord
place his property in possession Of
one who is careless and inefficient
and who viii not use to advantage
his opportunity? There seems to be
room for reform and a fair and
equitable effort on the part Of both
employers and employees would
probably result in great 4eneft to
both classes.
