A New WAY TO PAY OH DEBrs.-The new sys-
tenn Of banking exemplfed by the United States Bank
of Pennsy lyania is worthy of special commentator
from all those who have the misfortune to owe more
than they pay. Previous TO the establishment OF
that meritorious institution, the vulgar, common pace
conception of bank was, that It was an 10
loan not TO borrow money. The great genius who 60
vcrred the dcstincs of the great Bank IN the course oil

ran not by lending, but borrowing, ana EXTENDED Inc
system be yond all former precedent Alter exhausnS
his credit in the old world like Alexander he actually

universal under the fostering influence of The gTcat
credit system. whereby man punges hea'long into
debt and scrambles cut pro tenn. by borronin more
money. So long as he can do this, he is az rich as
CrGsns; he buys upevery thing that Gomez IN IS way
gets deeper and deeper in the mire, and finally when
