The article focuses on the business interest of the U.S. The bankers and brokers of this city have just furnished a most striking proof of the way the business interests of the country are bound together, and are necessarily bound together, against every assault on the national credit. They have combined their powerful forces not only to replenish the Government's gold reserve, but to protect it against further depletion. The article also throws light on the condition of the farmers in the western states. An appalling change has come over their circumstances during the last ten years. There is no mystery about the cause of this, which is, in brief, the fact that farmers get for their products prices that will average scarcely one-half what they received ten years ago.
