A committee of. then went before. the Central Labor Union of Newburg and asked whether, if. they opened their ‘own store, the people of Newburg would buy from them direct. In return they offered to take direct the prod ucts of the labor of the people of Newburg. - It is somewhat remarkable that this B not done often.

The rents of the department store, of the butcher, the grocer and fie baker, of the tailor and the shoemaker, of everybody who sells ty manufactured article are all in the end paid by the consumer. Farmers buy retail and pay the highest prices. They sell wholesale | @nd receive the lowest prices. The farmer gets no more for a bushel of “potatoes than the man who eats them pays for a peck.

The Duke: of Suffolk, who had conducted the’ marriage negotiations, fell ‘into distavér with the people. Margaret took side, Henry was forced to banish him, and Margaret in rage let the English know pretty forelbly What che thought of them as a nation.

Durlt Margaret's absence York bullied Parllament and the King {nto a he should succeed to the throne on Henry's herlted Prince Edward, the seven r-old son of Henry and Margaret. Margaret was mad with fury at this weakness of Henry, wreck of nll her hopes for her son. She rallied many adherents {n the north of England and marched at the head of her army to seize the forfeited heri- garet was victorious and York himself was slain. Then the Queen marched on London. But York’s eldest son, Edward, Earl of March, raised an army checked her advance. She, however, managed to d Edward's gen- eral, the Earl of Warwick, at St. Albans and to secure Henry's release. Th: rl of March then marched on London, was recelyed with Joy by the citl- jens, because of their hatred for Margaret, and was crowned King, under he utle of Edward IV. England thus had two kings at the same tinte, at Yeadly conflict with each other. This civil strife is known to history as the War of the Roses. Warwick and Edward IV. infilcted another crushing defeat on Mar saret at Lancaster, March 29, 1461, and forced her to flee with her son and her imbecile husband to Scotland. Twice, with an army of Scots, she In- yaded England, but was driven back. Her force of character, her dominant will and her scoiding tongue were unbacked by any gentler womanly, attri- butes. But they commanded the respect and pity of the fierce northern clansmen and enabled her to continue the war where poor, weak Henry, without her, would at once have succumbed. For she was fighting for her child, with all the ferocious courage of a tigress defending her young. In 1462 she went to France and by promising Louis XI. certain rich English possessions in France, won his alliance. With a French army she again invaded England, but was once more beaten. Seeing her cause was lost, Margaret embarked with her son and all her jewels and gold aboard a ship bound for France. The vessel was wreck and the treasure lost. Margaret and the young Prince were cast ashore at Berwick, where they fell into the hands of robbers. Queen Margaret mada known her identity and sternly commanded the bandits to rally to thetr Queen's defense.

At last, in 1470, Warwick quarrelled with Edward IV. and went over to Henry's side. He and Margaret drove Edward from England, freed Henry and placed him once more on his throne, where he reigned for six months. But Edward, reinforced, returned to England, beat and killed Warwick at St. Albans, defeated Margaret at Tewkesbury, butchered her son after the’ latter battle, and swept Henry from his shaky throne. Henry was impris- oned for the third time, but died almost at once. He is said to have been murdered by Edward's younger brother, the Duke of Gloucester (afterward Richard III.). Margaret had now no one left to fight for. She was taken prisoner anf was ranromed fa: 30,000 crowns by the King of France.
