William H. Bennett, manufacturer of
wagons and agricultural implements,
reports an especially dolorous oondi-
ton of things at Warwick, Rhode
Island, which he attributes to "want of
faith in the administration, the wanton
and foolhardy expectation Of gold and
undue coinage of silver" lie adds:
should like to correct a report sent out
from this town about year ago saying
there were no abandoned farms in this
section, when there are any amount of
them. We are so poor that several families
have had to subsist on skunks. The hide
brings about 81, the oil % or 30 cents and
the carcass makes dinner.
Mr., Benefits remedy for this i'm.
poverishment is to "accept nothing but
gold for our exports and mover again
compel the United States to purchase
more silver bullion than it actually
needs; export the silver and get back
the gold; redeem the gold and silver
certificates and get the metal in CIR
culation."
Here are few more suggestions,
from other standpoints, culled from the
same bulletin:

Give us raw materials free, so we can give
labor more to do. lii the Manufacture of
products for home consumption the cry of
high protection for American labor is all
bosl, for the highest protected industries
are the ones who are using pauper labor
to crowd out our Americans. think the
time is near at hand when we, as an
American people, can compete with the
world, seek u foreign market for our
exports, and make this the great manu-

The Wilson bill rs it left the House of
Representatives was a moderately Satisfac-
tory measure to the people, but the indica-
tons now are that the Senate, which rep
| resents not the people but the selfish in
| terests of capital, will emasculate the bill
so that it will be Of little benefit TO the
| people when finally passed. There seems
| to be but little hope of relief until public
demand shall secure constitutional
amendment providing for the election of

Causes Of the present depression are
| various. Stimulated by high tariff por-

A large portion spent their savings US fast

societies robbed the people of millions
| The whole land was honeycombed with

the people opened their eyes aud began to
| ecouumIze i'll their modes of living and
keeping a portion Of their earnings in
their pockets, thus decreasing the amount

amount of money in circulation. There is
another factor which in my opinion, is one

is revenue tariff, the knocking ont of all
