How Can Trade Revive.

AZ Is nOnSence 10 tdlk ABOUT q reVlVal
of trade!
Trade never revived On a falling
market for production.
A necessary article to revive trade is
money.
1t takes money and purchasers 10
revive trade.
Who is there with money to spend
and revive trade?
Can the laborer, who is out of en-
ployment, be depended upon to re-
vive trade?
Can the farmer, whose products have
declined so per cent .rorn last years
prices, help revive trade?
VIII employed labor under reduced
wages, come to the front and help re-
yive trade?
If the consumers have not the money
to spend to revive trade, how is trade
to be revived?
Win some one good at figures please
answer this question and relieve an
anxious public?
The democrats say trade is to revive.
Is it going to revive without any one
reviving it?
Is it going to revive despite the alb
sence of purchasers to revive it?
About the only thing that is reviv-
ing is democratic humbuggery. Hum
buggery is on boom.
Trade is dead, and will stay dead
until the people get the money by a
rising market. 1t takes money to pay
debts and revive trade by the purchase
of articles on the market for sale.
If the farmer should receive 10 cents
for cotton this fall he would have
more money than he had last year,
and hence could revive more trade
than he did last year.
AS cotton is lower than it was last
year. and cotton seed one half lower,
wheat and everything else the farmer
| has to sell is lower, how is the farmer
! to revive trade?
Wages of labor has been reduced on
| all the railroads and in the manufact-
ories and shops. How is the wage
Garner to help revive trade?
Who else is there to revive trade? II
/ the tradesman can not sell his goods,
he won't revive very much will he?
AS farm wages go down, and wages
decline, the power of the consumer is
reduced and there is less consumed.
This is followed bya reduction of the
! price of goods, as the tradesman de-
sires to sell, and trade being dull, he
bids for it by reducing his profits.
Thus there is falling market al
around, yet democrats tell us trade is
reviving! The only thing that is re-
viving is the old party campaign liar.
He is vigorous, and appears to be do

Bonds were issued to get money to
carry on the war-so the bankers tell
the people. They want more of them
issued now, so the presumption is
| strong that tkey want to use them to
! put down labor war; Bonds enough
will soon starve all the laboringmen.-- =

All people believe that the govern
ment can assume control of an old
| prol1en down railroad, as receiver, and
| run it until the finances of the com
!! pany are placed in a healthy condi-
! dition; but it will never-no, never-do
for the government to own the road
after it has been put on . paying basis.

there is rejoicing. When the corn crop
is ample, national hymns of praise are
heard. But the labor crop-it is al
ways abundant, always ample, always
profuse-and it is invited to go to the
devil or starve on earth. Oh, no! the
social condition doesn't need remodel
ing!-Ohio Sentinel.
