yosr raw material for the support Of this
branch Of your national industry. Your in-
creasing population and your increasing
will probably quite keep pace
with, and it may outrun your increased pro-
duction. The English papers say:
The wisest citizens OF the United States
are as uneasy at England's dependence on
their cotton fields as English people can
be-" The
Americans are exploring Africa much more
diligently than we are, and they are always
hoping to hear that we are proceeding with
our experiments in India"
II these things be so, then probably what
we have here thrown together may serve Il
show that there is no good reason to dread
that cotton manufactures in any part Of the
world need be impeded for want Of the raw
material. Providence has provided and ma
ture presents more than sufficient resources
which the wisdom and the industry OF mai
must be exerted upon and develop.

PAY AS you eo-rHE CREDIT SYSTEM.


DR.. johnson said very wise thing when
he advised his friend to pay cash for every
thing he bought, ready money being such
check upon the Imagination. Ii the lady
who is tempted to purchase costly diamonds
at Ball & Blacks had to count out the cash
on delivery, her jewelry bill at the end OF
the year would probably be only hundreds
instead Of thousands.
And so in all kinds Of business, and among
all classes of buyers-abolish the credit sys-
TEN, and you do away with extravaganza.
Ii is so easy to run in debt, and SO easy to
order thousand dollar knick- knacks, when one
only has to say " charge it." that even pru-
dent persons, who mean to be economical,
and never 90 beyond their ability to pay, are
constantly led into the purchase OF articles
they do not need, and for which they some
times find il difficult to pay.
In the fluctuations Of speculative business,
based on the pernicious credit system. COM
paratively few of even the reputed wealthy,
know how they are coming out at the end vi
the year. stocks may go up--or go down
and the result may prove equally disastrous.
The gambling Operator" suddenly " iiab-
bergasts," aud his palatial mansion, filled
with what Mrs. Darlington calls articles Of
I" bigo;ry and virtue" must be sacrificed TO
paw his debts and his differences" The
merchant, who has sold "a million ON time. =
as we heard dry goods importer say the
other day, cannot tell whether his house Is
founded on rock or on the sand aud there
are few men whose property Is so securely
invested. that their " riches may not take 70
themselves wings and hy away" No man
who runs in debt to-day, is absolutely GER
tain Of his ability TO pay Tomorrow much
les, three or six months hence. The doc
trine Of chances and probabilities may favor
his hopes; but any one Of a thousand acct
dents may upset all his calculations.
The more we reflect, therefore, the more
are we convinced, that not money, but credit,
is the "root Of all evils" and the only wise
system Of trade, the only sure remedy for a
multitude Of social evils, is to be found in
the golden maxlm-Pay as Won 20. Let the
rich, who have the cash in hand, begin the
reform to-day; and every vein and artery
Of the social organism would feel a glow Of
quicken.ng vitality, prompting to all sorts
II benevolent actions, leading TO the most
blessed results. Debt causes a thousand
fold more suffering than African slavery /;
and vet our philanthropic reiormers have no
sympathy for the exquisite misery IT entails
and no voice Of reDuke for the evil that
produces il. The southern planter sells hIs
cotton before il is grown the Northern far
mer eats his corn before il is harvested; the
merchant realizes hi. cargo before il arrives
the builder mortgages his house story BY
story; and every body "buys on time" IN
the hope 81 being richer tomorrow than to-
day. And this is the great and radical
wrong u society. almost as prolific in evil
as

OF this grand total, if now distributed

Wereter to Virginia. in this case, because
a large portion of the public domain was her

her politicians are quietly looking on whilst
the condition of the trust is totally disre

BRANDY; rrs MANuFACruxE. The
following account, from the Toronto
Cclonist, Of the death Of Q man from
takting q poison used in msnufactur-
ing Brandy from raw spirits, conveys
its own moral
At about IL O'Clock, Thursday
morning, = clerk in the employ Of Mr..
Wright, liquor manufacturer, at
Brampton, left the store for the pur-
pose o! manufacturing quantity Of
brandy from raw spirits. He took
with him . preparation used for this
purpose by some called essence Of
wine, and by others essence OF bran
dy. The prep .ration was placed on
the table in the warehouse, and the
deceased { Mr. Morris) after preparing
. portion Of the liquor, returned to
the store, and took glass Of ale with
some friends from Toronto. He had
scarcely returned to his former occu-
patton more than five minutes, before
the potter ran 10 the store, in great
alarm, exclai'ning. Mr. Morris hes
been tasting the essence of brandy,
and it has killed him On those
present running to the spot, it was
found that the report was too true,
the sufferer had Inadvertently tasted
few drops OF the drug, which is
nearly allied to prsssic aeid, and in
stant death was the consequence Of
the unhappy mistake. An inquest
wis held IN the afternoon; but the
verdict oi the jury was not given st
the time the cars left BrsmptOn. Mr.
