Where will Business Reopen.

The whole machinery of the commercial
world is al a dead lock . the only important
question is how it Is 10 be safely aud leait-
mately set 10 work again. 1t is not war, aud
it is not famine, nor is it pestilence, that has
produced 1t, but the diseased internal work.
sands of honest, able men, who would
work, but cannot. Others who have all the
materials, and would ike to employ these
nea, dare not. The1 know it would tie
ruin. Oilers who have good ready manu-.
lac'urel, would like 10 sell or fill orters,
but dare not: lest they should not get their
money. Others have wheat and produce of
all kinds, but cannot ship it to Europe, be.
cause no man will purchase their bills of
exchange on London. 1t is the very heart
of commerce that has been palsied, there
seems 10 be no vitality, no oxygen in the
calculation. 1t has been asphyxiated by
the poisonous vaPors deep down in the
mines and wells of traffic.
The first successful effort at restoration
must be TO produce deep inspiration, a
heaving ofthe muscles Of The chest that shall
produce a vacuum-a demand Fresh lfv-
ing air will then soon rush into the lungs,
oxygen into the blood, and tide of life
and animation to every part.
All business life has got 10 begin again,
to be in anew, and this must be where all
business beeins-ia the retail trade and not
m The Whoiesaie. He who would catcn the
first impulses of The coming new life of
trade, must catch it there. And he who
would promote the restoration of wholesale
business must begin by promoting it there.
All attempts 10 stimulate a restoration Of
wholesale business not founded on that of
the retail trade, is like slraining the eye
balls and distortins the limbs of corpse
by galvanic action and mistaking that for
life. To push goods by wholesale on the
market through longer credits can only pro-
duce an ultimate glut.
1t is the retail trade that wants starting
anew upon a cash basls. This will create
demand for goods and afford the means TO
pay for them. So far, there have been COM
para'ively very few failures in the retail
trade, but there will be i'll The course of
few months, perhaps weeks, if care is not
taken TO avoid it. Not one quarter, hardly
a tenth of the business is done in any large
reail establishment now, that there was
last year, at this time, and the prices leave
absolutely no profit. This cannot last.
Let every family then pay their retail
bills, if they pay no oihers--settle up all
their domestic expenses at once and at any
present inconvenience. There are many
families os undoubtcd means, who, be.
