could not De DeneuCeQ more bnan the
agricultural countries, for they would
have to depend chiefly on the latter for
a market for their manufactured pro-
duct, and could sell to the agricultural
class only what the production Of the
latter enabled them TO buy. In fact,
the agricultural and manufacturing
countries are bound together by mu-
tuality of interests which makes it i'm
possible for either of them to profit or
to suffer without the other being ike
affected.
The depression which exists in Europe
and America is ascribed by the Bulletin
to various causes, some of which are
common to each of the countries, while
others are not; but all are radically diff
ferent from those indicated in the
Economist In Austria, the United
States and some Of the South American
States, impoverishment, at least tempo
rary, has arisen from diverting labor
to the construction of works, such as
railroads and commercial buildings,
largely in advance of the actual require
ments of business, thereby limiting ag-
rieultural production, rather than over
doing it. In Germany and the United
States, war, and in Austria the absorp-
ton of Hungary, have led to an era of
speculation which has induced a gener-
al extravaganza of expenditure
an excess of expenditure over
production in fact-whieh has caused
an unnatural elevation of prices and
a virtual impoverishment of the peo-
pie. In the continental countries as
well as on this side the Atlantic, in
dustry has been hampered by labor
agitations the effect of which has IN
questionably been to limit very mate
rally the per capita production of the
working population. And in our own
country, we have had an era of politi-
cal extravaganza which has led to enor-
nous public OUTLAWS that in no way
benefit commerce but have limited the
production Of useful commodities. All
these influences, it VIII be seen, have
directly tended to curta1 the produe-
ton of food and raw materials and are
wholly incompatible with the
Economists supp3sition that there
has been an over production
of those articles. In South America,
a similar class of influences have been
at work, and with similar results. Men
ton might also be made Of the bad ef-
fects of fuctuating currencies in some
of the countries instanced, and of an
increase of public burthens in all; and
Of prohibitory tariffs that injuriously
interfere with the healthy employment
of labor and capital; but these are not
to be reckoned as principal caus es of
common depression.
If the BUIletin's diagnosis be correct,
it follows that the simple final cause Of !
the prevailing condition Of things is
deficient production, rather than over
production, and that the remedy is to
be sought In an increased production
of those very things to the over supply
of which the Economist attributes the |
disease.

THE PUBLIC MAKE A GRAVE MIS-
take when they 60 or send North and East

chants will find, upon comparison Of work and
prices that they can do better in the Job Rooms

to assume that work done at a distance Is neces

that Secretary Robson, of the Navy,

one Freusley, a clerk IN the redemption
