have firm conviction that, by the inau-
guration of system of more ready pay,
they as well as the producers and consu-
mers will in the long run be benefited.
The money paid for marketing will come
to them directly in exchange for goods,
instead Of the goods being first paid for the
marketing, and afterwards the cash (and
sometimes nothing received for the same
marketing. sl
Not only will public marketing do away
with some of the evils of the too.much
abused Credit System-which abuses have
caused most of our present bard times
but it will also benefit laboring men by
giving them a wider field to suit them
selves in purchases, and with the ready
money place the man Of less means on the
same footing in market with the richest
! We arc aware Of the straitncss of the
money market, but deem that fitting
time to begin the proposed change. We
need it, now, if ever. And although the
effort may be difficult and seem but small
at first, observation and experience con-
vince US that it will find favor, and must
ultimately become regarded as fixed ne
ncssity. No considerable expense will be
incurred a: the out start. a central ware
house 66 by about 40 feet in size, can be
obtained and fitted up in case of unfavora-
bic weather, and will suffice until Mar.
ket House can be built, if needed. For
ordinary weather, part of Market Square
viii DC appropriated by The Council for
the use of those desiring TO trade.
The generally apprehendcd scarcity of
small change, renders it expedient that all
parties should provide themselves with some
thing in the way of specie for mutual accom-
modation. There is plenty of coin in the
country, and its use in marketing will be of
great public utility. Kept circulating among
ourselves, it will tend materially TO enliven
business and restore confidence.
The prices will of course regulate them
selves, approXimatns 10 those of larger mar
kcts, less the cost of transpor,alions, profits,
and commissions, and varying with the times.
The friendly feeling which should exist be-
tween neighborinc towns and country, should
lead to preference (, r home dealings but a
lack Of satisfaction as to terms, leaves each
party the same power TO buy or sell elsewhere.
as AT present, and any surplus can still seek a
more distant mart.
We know We speak the earnest desires OF
hundreds in town and country, when we urge
a general concurrence in this movement Let
not one wait for another, but let there be a
Simultaneous, hearty acquiescencc from the
commencement. Should it after fair trial
prove inexpcdien,, it can be abandoned, and
will involve no loss. All, in town and coun-
try, who would buy or sell, could soon arrange
all other business TO suit The market days, and
we are confident much time and money would
be saved 10 both parties, as well as more and
better articles Of home consumption secured.

Persons wishing TO buy or sell products by
the quantity, can here also show or examine
the samples, and bargain accordingly.
In conclusion, we heartily invite all in our
vicinity who have any marketing they desire
to dispose of, and also al, who wish to make
purchases, 10 meet in Market Square, en- Sat.
