Their own interests are at stake in
this matter. Everybody has suffered so much
from the aocursed CREDIT SYSTEM, if system
it can be called, that intend to offer to every
body panacea for the evil in the future.
On and after the first day of June, 1869, will
sell goods EXCLUSIVELY FOR CASH OR PRO
DUCE. No doubt some customers may be lost to
me, but hatter myself that it will be only those
from whom cannot collect present accounts.
All goods will be sold at about one-half the
profit now pad by consumers. The people often
complain of Bedford prices being higher than else
where and it is doubtless true, to some extent, for
the reason that good customers have had to pay
for others goods with an additional profit their
own.
Let an intelligent community sustain me in this
enterprise and they WILL SAVE FROM Ten

and in his commercial articles dragged
in, head and shoulders-will commend him
to his 9l2 subscribers for his industry and
persistency.
But the brilliancy Of bis imagination,
and OF the article now under consideration,
is again marked by the application he
makes Of these two instances. He says
that this paper depreciates the crops for
the purpose Of buying them. Now, as
the sellers made their own representations
of the crops on those plantations-and in
the case of Waihee, as has been shown,
represented it at $50 tons - of sugar,
mind, not sugar and molssses-it would
certainly be a most brilliant way Of depre-
ciating the price to say those plantations
have so much-indeed, they are very pro-
ductive they will furnish one-eighth of
all the crop that will be produced this
year, and although their crop is large,
everyone's else is small. This conception
is almost as brilliant as the previously in
Dictated idea of the speculator depreciating
the quantity on the market, for the pur-
pose of lowering the price.
But his brilliancy eliminates, as is
proper, in the last paragraph, for, having
made a spectacle Of himself in trying to
make people believe that he meant 200
tons of sugar and molasses, be makes the
following remark
Now as regards next years crop. The
best informed persons estimate this years
crop at fully tloeHty millions Of pounds, and
that OF $50 al twenty-five millions Of pounds
Does he mean twenty-five millions
pounds of sugar and molasses? And if so,
does he reckon the number Of pounds of
molasses that are allowed to run into the
sea? Every one knows he means 22,000.-
600 pounds of sugar, without reference to
the molasses.

be entertained.
The Court was inclined to give the
words Of the statute liberal construc-
ton. Few persons-speaking absolute
", no persons-are of sound mind. The
Legislature probably expected reason
able and common sense meaning to be
applied 20 these words. and that no harm
