Full Text

The Philadelphia Age advises every man and woman to "live strictly within his or her income." This is good advice, but what if one's income is inadequate, as is the case in thousands of instances. Whilst incomes, generally, are no greater than they were two years ago, the cost of raiment, subsistence, rents, fuel, &c., has doubled. How, then, are those whose incomes, never more than enough to make both ends meet, to "live within them" now? Is the Age economist enough to answer this question? We know of families of great respectability whom it can benefit by pointing out an exodus from this difficulty.
