Everybody knows that prosper
ity for all classen depends on
CIRCULATION of money. If na
ture decided to save up water and
keep it all in the ocean, instead of
scattering it around in rmin, crops
wouldn't be good. Money spent
is to business what rain is to
crops. '
One angry merchant suggests:
"To set an example in economy
the best plan is not ,to r hast an
old Straw hat reblocked and 'ad
vertise that. It would be better
to lay up the Mayflower, the ex
pensive -pleasure boat such as
neither Washington nor Lincoln
ever had, and save enough on coal
to buy 100,000 new straw hats."
President does not *
recommend Toolish economy, but
wise economy. - As for the May
flower, the country is rich enough
to let the President enjoy the
fresh air, and is glad to give him
whatever he can wisely use.
As regards spending, the wise
mart's plan is to buy what he
needs when he needs it, remem
bering that a good appearance is
a wise investment, and that there
is nothing more costly than
FALSE ECONOMY.
