mHARD TIMES" Hard Times, in
deed and the times will continue hard
until the people turn over a new leaf.
They must rettench their expenditures.
They must buy less than they sell-Cre-
Idit has been the great cause Of their pre-
lsent embarrassment. People have ven-
Itured beyond their strength-taey have
pushed toe far f,om the shore. They
have tried too many experiments. They
have caught in an evil hour that love of
innovation which has heretofore charae,
terised our national rulers: and Ike
them, they must return TO those plain
common sense maxims which will show
them the way to prosperity. Let them
quit speculation for industry: extrava
gance for fugalitY: intemperance for SO
