any amount Of nonsense has been talked
against extravaganza, speculation, Wall
street gambling, and so on. But the best

'scause the abrogaton Of the Tariff of 1872.
The present condition Of our country il
the natural and Inevitable result Of the stu
peadous folly of neglecting and discoura-
ging home industry, and giving the prefer
ence to foreign labor and foreign workshops.

iron to equip them, for our woolens, linens
and silks, we have been drained OF the gold
which has flowed in upon us from California
at the rate of fifty millions annually, and

oil business relations, destroys oil confidence,
throws thousands upon thousands Of opera
tives out Of employment, reduces at once the
demand for labor and tho wages of labor,
and spreads distress aud CONSERVATION oil
over the land.
