a cvsrtisiDs II faard Times.

Suppose a merchant, With his store full
Of goods. finds that be has got to submit to
some sacrifice in order to meet his de-
mauds, what is the bes, thing he can do!
The hypothesis is probable enough in
these times, but the answers to the practi-
cal question will be various. They ought
to be, because the method which will afford
relief to one, is not advisable. or if SO, not
available, to another. But still, as gen.
eral answer, what is better than this: Cut
down your prices. advertise vigorously, and
sell off your goods.
In the first place, if sacrifice is una
voidable, and the result be the same Pc
cuniarily to the dealer, it is far better that
the community in general should reap the
benefit of i, than one or two sharpers or
speculating brokers.
Instead of an enor NOUS per centage in
pursuance of doubtful system, being thus
thrown into the Golfers of few individu-
ais, the cheapest necessaries of life would
be distributed among thousands didTusing
comfort everywhere. Thus the burden
which rests upon the mercantile class, in.
stead of being made tributary to the ava
rice of the moneyed class. would be turn.
ed to solid benefit of all the other classes.
Again, such a course would keep trade
agoing. Drained as the country is Of
specie, not cent has been annibilated-
it exists all about US somewhere-but is
supplanted, as it were, by the "green-
back" and other paper currency. At
this season Of the year, too, a great deal
of it, in separately small sums, must be
exchanged for the numberless articles of
food and raiment required at the coming
Winter. If prices hold up, this exchange
will be as scanty and put off as long as
possible. But let the lowest prices be ad.
vertised. let it be understood that goods
must be sold at all events, and the stores
will be crowded under little panic of
the right kinda dollar will be spent
here, and five or ten there, resulting in
hundreds or thousands to the enterprising
dealers. Thus may boarded specie be
drawn from its hiding places. Thus the
healthy circulation of money will be kept
up, and the basis maintained for an easy
renewal of prosperous times. Everything
will grow better by degrees, while of him
who recklessly "sticks" on the advanced
prices and wholly relies on borrowing, it
may be said, the last end of that man is
worse than the first"
Of course, to many individuals this
method is no, feasible. They cannot wait,
or their stocks would be insufficient to re-
alize their needs, or other good and indis.
putable reasons might be cited. But
where it is possible, we believe it to be
advisable on every ground of personal and
public expediency. If advertising is in.
dispensable when customers are rushing
TO buy of their own accord, and Only want
to know where to 60, it is doubly necessa-
ry in these times when the fact of cheap.
ness is felt TO be the al; important fact
We observe that the merchants in Leav-
enworth and the east are advertising just
at this time with the most enlarged liber-
ality, and it becomes our dealers to see
whether the path of wisdom for them does
not lie in tn same direction.
