There are very few among us who have not felt, to some degree, the effect of the prostration of business at present existing, and yet still fewer understand the causes which have led to it. The laws of Political Economy are at the basis of all financial enterprises, both public and private. No government or business man can afford to ignore them. And yet young men are to be given...
