THE KING AND "THE CLUB."
OUR arguments have convinced the King ! He has declared his ap- probation of the principles which we have recommended, and set the stamp of supreme fashion on economy. His Majesty has intimated his pleasure that the tradesmen at Windsor who supply the Royal Household with necessaries shall not in future be permitted to charge a higher rate of profit upon them than the average prices in London may allow; - and the immediate reduction which this mandate must effect, will be followed by a still greater, when our Club, and similar institutions, shall have freed the London public from the extortion of retail-dealers. There can no longer be a doubt of the splendid success of the project.
The pamphlet, promised in our last Number, is to appear on Monday.
