Comfort for America, or remarks on her real situation and policy
In response to complaints of hard times, Benjamin Franklin reflects on the current economic situation in the United States. He notes that the agricultural situation is particularly good, and conditions in cities are improving for workers. The situation of merchants will improve when they begin to import less and some of them return to working trades. Franklin believes that although the country is divided between parties, they all have different ideas of how to improve the nation.
