At the present time there is quite large num-
Der of persons who will not be trusted at ALL and
there is much larger portion of the community
who cannot get credit any where but are obliged
to pay cash at credit prices. These two classes
form, perhaps, more than one-half of our popula-
ton and there is no good reason why poor man
should pay more than rich one; and no sense at
all in charging CASH CUSTOMERS for bad debts
incurred under the present mode of merchandising
If the people will only bestow one thought upon
the subject they will at see that-paying Gus
toners assume all the bad debts or in other words
they take all the risks of the credit system. The
present time is very discouragng for making debts;
the obligations of the people are now very large,
larger by far than the crops this season will dis
charge. Property of all Kinds is continually rum
ming down, and how would it be with us in the
event of total partial failure of the crops
next season? Is there one so blind that he cannot
see that in such an event st would take large
amount of property to pay very small debt. Who
then, is so bold to increase their liabilities un-
der this state of things? ~ ,rr - -,.-
