In order for us to have good times the jsuple must not only have money, but they must also sp nd it freely. The two things are reciprocal. It is the market that keeps the factories and the stores going and pays the wages. This is what John Wauamakcr said recently.

Nothing will so quickly breed hard times as an epidemic of economy. There is a circulating medium of but $24 icr capita, and probably $15 of this is in tb banks or otherwise idle. If the people save tin remaining $!), which is not much to save, what becomes of our circulation medium? And yet the people are urged to save their money. You might as well ask a man to save his breath or dam up the circulation of his blood. Under our laughable system of society the spendthrift is a benefactor and the rudetit is an enemy to the public welfare. , vius-- . ,,in wannsi in capitalists, who were cocking the ltfebhs-- 1 from the eins of the workmgnn n.
