dis de pre eion solon is long continued the great majority live on this the borderland of circumstance subject to all the 0 of a rather complicated civilization they crowd avato cities they y degeld for labor upon others othern mainly willing to work so BO doubt but life at its best is precarious they buy from hand band to mouth they are in exceen an aa a rule two or three men otten otien want

previous time spite of the fact that the supply su aply Is in buts but alii little tie over a years yearld I yow shall production cease or fall off until the demand forces the price up to te a rational level or should not cheap bread produce industrial activity what is in wanted apparently Is confidence in ourselves in the return to trade in the assurance of demand in our country which overflows with all the necessaries of it 11 e and which manufactures nearly everything it needs a country essentially rich but now afraid of poverty or that times will never again be good pr prosperity Is after all simply an interchange of commodities among men A fear to exchange that is to buy what you want jest eat bankruptcy stares you in the lace face is stagnation and the reverse of prosperity some assert that the exhortation to economy to retrench retrenchment ments to restrict and out down everything is the sure way to prolong the depression and khat hat the true way is to spend what you can spare for what you desire to have because prices will never be as low again a as they are now can we rot not believe that there here are good times ahead and that the world will yet have MADY lauy sunny days can it be possible that there la Is no elasticity in human effort that even when in debt a mans energies are so no called into play that he removes mountains and speaking makes even the winds and waves obey him many years ago president J M grant told the writer that president young advised him to go to work a and n d build himself a home he said be b had d but button ten dollars but he built what was a palatial house for those days it stood somewhere about on the site ot of Z C M 1 I the sequel however was that when it was complete compla tei J brother grant bad more money in his pocket than when he begun began be got in debt which roused all his energies having begun to build J he wanted no do man to co say he was not able to s N JW that the people of utah are in debt shall they lie ile down and whine because of abir abib verily no those who wrested from the desert by the genius of lator and enterprise these homes and farms farm who made the ditches and canals canal who built school houses and churches a alii nu temples are not to be dismayed because they owe a few dollars here and there not even it they have to learn wisdom sod and self de dei jal ial by a little monetary perplexity or suffering perchance northis now this confidence to Is wealth it is prosperity its presence sets the wheels of industry to humming bumming loads the rail roads with traffic and creates all the activity there ever was in commerce it gives bread to the starving millions and fills the land with happiness sod and plenty while its absence casts gloom over the country and spreads disaster and distress among all classes 22 with out it the farmer would plow and plant in vain the builder of a home would woud not invest the keeper of a store would buy no goods enterprise languishes where it to is not sod and even the buying of a pair of shoes or stockings for the dimpled bottles dott les of our household depends upon this e in the future and in ourselves if you want to see a dead man or a dead oom community muni find one where nobody is ia debt where no man works only for spot cash or where no man improves improve until he las has the money in his bis stock ing owe no man anything sp is good advice yet sometimes the world moves on lines ot of credit delty deity chmels man to RO go in debt to him to him man looks fr fir the early awl an the latter rain Ps thy bread shall be riven given thee and thy water shall be sure has boa nerved many a man and woman in the battlefields of life and these pr promises to pay issued by the great banker of the

foresee be is righteously but unwittingly in debt let no man subject to the same infirmity take his debtor by the throat and say pay me that thou 02 or giving him io in charge of an officer that of officer fleer cast him into prison from which he be cannot emerge until he has paid the uttermost farthing Ill shall this encourage a man then to go in debt to his fellow not at ILI all only a s it may seem desirable at rable to both the I 1 interested parties then debt to is not dishonorable it may be evely thing but that but confidence between men to is born by keeping word to io each other in other words this is legitimate debt but the man who is in debt for the purpose of frauds fraud to take advantage of bis big neighbors neighbor to enrich himself at an others expense to is a thief and every ho hoest est soul would say may let no such man be trusted 13 no nee need 1 I to underrate the circumstances which surround us as individuals ot olt as a community they have brought their lesson
