Logic of Events.

The logic of events is the best argument to offer 1 ' to men who can see but won’t acknowledge that the country is on the verge of bankruptcy and ruin. In spite of the efforts of financiers, banks and business houses continue to fail and the number is increasing every year. They tell us money is getting more plentiful, but in almost every failure the cause is assigned to a money stringency. They say business is improving, and yet dullness of trade is the general complaint everywhere. They say the country is prosperous and deliberately lie when thev say so. They tell you good crops will bring good times, and in the next breath say we have an overproduction. They say over-production Is ruining the country and yet nobody is bluer and down-hearted over droughs, drowned out crops and chinch bugs.
