Cash VS.. Credit.

We read very sensible article in late

conclusion ourself. that IL the credit system

prevails to remarkable extent. If man

sometimes, when money is as scarce as il
has been the last six months, IL Is a matte-
Of impossibility TO pay cash for everything
but, it is an undenr"6e truth, that often
times man will request credit when he has
the money in his pocket, und no immedite
use for il. The =, stem is productive OF
every thing which tends To our injury and
ruin. Bankruptcy. is the sequel to this un-
limited credit system. In any store in our
own village, We feel satisfied that five dol.
lars, cash, will purchase MS much, ii not
more, than five dollars to BE- charged. This
is one advantage gained, another is, th,t
people will always buy less when they ply
