CHAPTER II.
Being now promoted TO the pocket Of
the gentleman from the Metropolis OF the
county. we soon reached our place OF des.
tination : we were slightly delayed by
stopping every man to talk politics with.
but as there were not many who felt much
interested in the subject ~e were not long
delayed by thi, cause.
"'rhe county seat Of w. county We will
call Mobile. No insult offered to the city
of that name III Alabama. This town
contains population "f four or FIVE hun>
dred souls. and in some respects. is the
most remarkable town i'll the. S ate.
have learned all the facts which shall
narrate from an old Copper Cent. which
| found in the money drawer OF II e mer.
chant, who had been Il citizen Of the town
for tvn years. = There are ten stores. in
Mobile and the competition runs SO high
that the merchants ~ill cell their goods to
any body on credit for the sake OF dong
Il big business and for the proud di,trnc.
ton Of selling more goods than Mr.. W.
sctOss the street. Their great object is
to get til, ir goods off their shelves. For
their sales they take notes alter allowing
their debts TO stand reasonable length
Oi time. These notes in common par
lance are called cash paper, either because
they constitute the currency of The coun
try or upon the same principle that the
Latin word iucUS is so called; for the pa
advantage in this kind OF currency. il
won't leave the country. 1t is like the
money which was coined in accordance
with Senator hunters :. Specie Bill
some years ago. il is worth more At home
than abroad Il also does away With the
necessity for aProtective Tariff ior no
matter how much the. people oUer trade.
their money will mot rbe. drained from
them. 5,;..t...,
= But how do the merchants get along!
Why. in this way 81 Al man sells a farm,
land will bring money ihere-and in;
vests the proceeds in store goods and
when his money is gone he goes'to Bank,
and when he wants thattin cash paper. ), he
goes 10 Bank again. /" But" says some
6ne. who. is struck with this novelty in f
nance. /" what becomes OF the paper!'-
