advocate cowardly parsimony thai
would strangle the buying power, de-

ultaneously.
Hard times and panics are caused
by sudden violent cessation of buy
ing.
If the citizen does not buy from the
merchant, the merchant cannot buy
from the manufacturer, the manufac-
turer must discharge his employees,
and you will have the very hard times,
depression, fear and stagnation that
the country should most carefully
avoid.
To stop the circulation of money in
the community, to discourage buying
and selling is like stopping the circu-
lation of blood in the human body.
The good citizen, while doing his
duty and working faithfully will con-
tinue his life as usual, buying and en-
couraging his fellow citizens in bust
ness, going to the shops, the theatres,
giving to his family the things to
which they are accustomed, helping
to carry the country along in the nor
NAL prosperous channel.
The life of nation is running
stream; it must not be stopped, froz-

those who preach false and harmful
economy.
