If we cringe to capital, we loose our "aim" and establish a wrong principle; be-.cause, be-.cause, we want the profit of our own .toil. Capital at present, is too dear to leave any margin for the producer. There is hardly an honest enterprise, enter-prise, within our reach, worth more J.han 3 per cent on money invested, if the producer shall have any profit for the trouble of applying it.

' " Therefor, whenever we calculate ,on entering into any enterprise, by which we not alone want to create a fci'4r4io.nie,iiiark(it, but also for the pur-. pur-. pose of keeping the profit of - our toil at home, and not waste it abroad Jet us put our accurmiJated strength together in co-operation; andnn nine cates owt of ten, wT will be able to do it ourselves, avoiding being rampired by extortionate usury. But it is a fact that with few exceptions ex-ceptions we do not economize enough we' do not accumulate sufficient strength, for material progress. Not seldera we live too fast, and are, perhaps extnvagant in proportion pro-portion to our income. If we have got the right hold on the necessary nec-essary stringency of economy, it should be seen in our progressive measures; or else what is it good for? Stagnation and waste are neighbors. We should commence more earnestly earn-estly to exert ourselves for advancement advance-ment in self-su.stainince, and learn more perfectly the financial statesmanship states-manship to take an honest advantage advan-tage of opportunities to improve our conditions. As we re now, we leave too much booty for the sharks. Producer. |
