WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.

The great question of to-day and
TOMORROW, therefore, is not only what
we are doing with our money but also
what our money is doing with us?
Until 0uI debt and credit expansion
is reduced the high cost of living
must continue to Cypress us. The
reduction in outstanding currency
has already begin and IS already
slowly proceeding.
The other point every merchant
and manufacturer and every wage
Garner should bear in mind is that the
tive VIII CO me-parhars IN less than
a year-when England, France, Ger
mary and Italy WI pet down to work
again and, driven by poverty and wal
taxes IF "nhpGrd-o severity, will feel
unable to buy anything they can dc
without and under the need of max
ing everything that they can make
for themselves instead of buying il
from US, and, on top of that very
eager to sell to us at any price all
their surplus products.
This will bring down prices in this
country, restrict the markets for our
goods, and bring a sitter competition
than we have ever known before.
1t is necessary, therefore:
For Congress to have ready "a new
Tariff to Protect the United States
from being made dumping ground
For our treasury to lessen all taxes
oppressive to industry, and to in
crease all taxes upon idle wealth and
especially upon large inheritances !;
in order that we may begin at once

40 years ago an old doctor was
putting up a medicine for diseases of

medicine and found the medical prop

Soldiers at one of the army camps
became mutinous recently, refusing
to obey orders or to salute their of

sent to the camp and about 400 sol
