They are deluding! themselves into poverty of spirit. Men who have plenty ol everything for present use, and a respectable res-pectable little store for future contingencies, contin-gencies, are afraid to build, or improve their property, or even pay the hands whom they are obliged to employ, because be-cause they feel so miserably poor. This cry of "hard times" is sounded too much and without sufficient reason rea-son ; and times are made harder and duller in consequence of the poor feeling feel-ing which the cry creates. The last paragraph of the extract we warmly commend to private and public consideration, for the pointed truths contained in it should lead men to think whether they are not creating the very condition of business which they lament. |
