BILLY SCHEIRLA GIVE8 HINT j
AE TO CONDITIONS HHTTSIDEi
- i
Billy Uchneiria, w*U iaown old
tbroer of the Ophir and other interior
-sections, writing from his borne at
■■Clinton, Mich., hintts somewhat at
conditions on the Outside, from which
letter the following: interesting ex- i
cerpt is taken:
Mlt is rather hard to give a correct
Idea of what conditions ae out here.
‘The press and big business say times
were never batter, t>ut under it all in
the working class there is more pov
erty than in a good many years pre
vious. The agricultural end of it
has bee npovertty sricken a long
dime, and at present sill farm produce
is sliding, with higher taxation every
Jdar, annd farm machinery in the
isame ratio. There has been a depres
:sion owing to the stock market crash
last fall. Locally it had effect enough |
ito close one of th eoldest banks in j
.Michigan, the Lilly State, at Tecum- !
ash, five miles south of here, and this
.. Ibank in one of the richest sections of!
dhe State. They are trying hard to'
-reopen it, but d o noto think they can
make a go of it, as real money is
ihard to get, although to stand along
the highways and see the autos go by
jou woulo think the nation is rolling
in wealth. I think the greatest curse
•of all, in the United States is the in
stalment plan. Autos, houses, furni
ture, in fact nothing and everything
is boought that way, and it is the
•cause of oot sof suffering. You
iknow it isn’t like up there. When you
;get a man’s word you doon’t ask for
^anything more, but out here when
yoou get a man’s word you haven't
get anything but generally an ex
cuse. i
