We are fast becoming q nation of
schemers TO live without genuine
work. Our boys are not learning
trades, our farmers boys are crowc-
ing into cities, looking for clerkships
aud postotfices hardly one American
girl in each hundred will do house,
work for wages, however urgent her
need 30 we are sending TO Europe
tor workmen and buying of her
artisans millions worth Of products
that we ought TO make for ourselves.
Though our crop of rascats is heavy,
we do not grow our own hemp /;
though We are overrun with lads
who deserve fiagelation, we import
our willows. Our women (unless do.
ceived) shine in European fabrics !;
our men dress ia foreign clothes the
toys which amuse our little children
have generally reached W over the
sea. We are like the farmer who
hires his neighbor's sons To cut bis
wood, feed his stock and run bis or.
rands while bis own boys lounge at
the grogshop, playing billiards., and
then wonders why, in spite OF bis
best efforts, he sinks annually deeper
and deeper INTO debt, till the Sheriff
cleans him out, and be starts West to
begin again.
We must turn over q new leaf.
Our boys and girls must be taught to
labor by qualifying themselves 10 do
il efficiently. We mus turn out few
err professionals and more skilled ar,
ti-aas, as we'll a. food-growers. We
must grow and fabricate two humid
red millions in value per annum, that
we now import, and so reduce the
foreign debt that we have so long
aad so successfully augmented year
by year. We must qualify our clever
boys to erect aud run factories, furn.
aces, rolling mills, tanneries, machine
shops, etc to open and work mines,
improve and fashion Implements and
double the present product of their
fathers farm So shall western he tide
Of debt that sets steadily against our
shores and cease TO be visited and an
noyed by hard times.
