DOCTOR FRANKLIN.

W. we copy IN To-Day paper LIZ
Franklin's SWAY TO WEALTH
The publication of this admirable
system of practical economy was
originally commenced in 1882 in Poor
Richards Almanac and continued for
several years afterwards. Its clear and
simple style, its wise and salutary
maxims have recommended it to every
reader, from the plain and unletered
mechanic to the profound and polish
ed scholar. There is scarcely Ssn-
guage in Europe, in which it has not
been translated and extensively read.
The republication Of these simple
but invaluable maxims in such man
ner as to attract the attention of the
general reader is calculated TO produce
a most favorable impression at this
time.
This country is now convulsed to
its centre in every department Of bust
ness and is enduring the most distress
ing depression in all its interests fom
the highly wrought and unnatural ex-
element, which had previously pre-
vailed.
A combination OF causes, which it
IL unnecessary 10 trace at present, had
given rise TO spirit of speculation, that
pelvaded our country from one extrem-
ity to the other. Its contagious inhu-
Aence was extended in every direction;
here was no avocation in life, that
experience its exciting effects.
s1o~ssspd toilsome process oil &C
i cuInulation byQdustry and economy
was abandoned for; the easier and more
facinating method of becoming rich by
speculation. The attainment ola for
tune, which had before been consid-
cred the result Of years of privation
| and toll, seemed all at once to be but
Ne achievement Of a day. Industry
economy were discarded, and
ulation and extravaganza took their
IS. The ordinary standards Of
he were abandoned, and specula-
and Fictitious estimate was placed
p every species Of property.
when this deIusive condition oil
things had been carried to its highest
state Of intensity, tremendous revul-
sion ensued, which has spread ruin and
uismay thro ughout every class of the
community. Thrown into confusion
by this violent reaction, the people
generally have not yetrecovered com
pcsure enough to see and adopt the
only practicable means Of alternating
their misfortunes. Like a crew, whose
rapid progress has been suddenly ar.
rested by some appalling explosion
they can not at once withdraw theiI
minds from contemplating the wrecl
and destruction, by which they are en-
composed, to make the necessary eff
forts 10 remedy their disastrous condi
ton. The present deranged state O
The country and the paroxis M Of pecu
: mary distess which prevails through
f out the community, strongly impress
D the necessity OF a return to the old OF
J der Of things, when honesty, industry
f perseverance,, and economy were the or
{ ly sure guarantees for success in lift
: With the view of intoxicating thes
# principles we have copied into our co
umns the maxims Of Doctor Franklin
whose life furnishes an admirabl
practical commentary upon the wisdor
and truth of the system, which he adoE
