The Credit 6ysten - Great Waste Of
Energy.

The present embarrassed condition OF
business has uncovered the secret manage
mont OF many Of our largest houses, and
exposed to view the manner in which they
are conducted.
One OF the most striking facts thus de-
veloped is the enormous cost at which the
credit Of an unduly4 extended business is
carried on. We do not mean solely or
chiefly the cost in money, but the cost in
the time and energies of the partners.-
Where it requires three-fourths Of all the
time and capacity asman can give to busi-
ness to bolster up what he already has, how
can he expect to be rapidly gaining more :?
In many instances the cares and anxieties
Of large business, conducted on the credit
system, have proved to be heavy draft
not only on time and thought, but on life
itself. More than one among our leading
business men have been brought to pre-
mature grave solely by the mental troubles
growing out Of too extended credit to take
care of.
The energies which on q strictly cash
system are all devoted to accumulation, are
wasted under the credit system in simply
maintaining the credit: so that q credit
business can never be as we'll and sclosely
and successfully managed as fash busi-
ness. ~
1t is important to young men to- make
study Of this subject, so thxq they may
start in life on the only system tvhicA pre-
cludes the possibility Of failure3
Far better do a small business on the
cash system-which is a1se-the Bible sys-
TEN. owe no man anything than to do
a large or extended business, on the credit
system, with its inevitable trials, annoy
ances and perils.-Ledger.

Temperance Reform.

A letter from Il Reformer cho has his oecn
Ideas Of the ecay it is to be done.
EDITOR ADVANCE IL am informed that
the ladies Of this city are talking Of en-
gaging in what is ca lied the Woman's Cru
sade." In my opinion the better way for
them to suppress intemperance is to create
a public sentiment against it, instead Of
praying in saloons and on muddy sidewalks.
Do as the ladies Of Plano, ILL.,, have done.
They commenced by placing in the hands
Of all the prominent business men petition
asking them not to employ any one addicted
to drinking and this Was generally signed.
Then they circulated petition among the
young ladies pledgiag themselves not to re-
~ceive the attentions Of young men who fire.
quented saloons, and the village girls read
lily signed it. Then they moved en- nasse
upon the saloons, hot with prayers and
psalms, but with entreaties to close up
Large numbers Of customers were kept
away and this enraged the rumsellers and
led to personal violence. Their next move
was to hold large temperance meetings and
bring suits against the saloon keepers. Al
fast as the saloons close, the suits are with.
drawn, and the prospects now are that the
ladies will not have 10 complete any Of their
suits. The saloon being abolished, some
thing else must takeits place. There must
be some place where men can find recre'
alton and means Of passing time pleasur'
ably. Their next move is libr.ryl and
reading room, which is the Englidh plAp o.

CONSUMERS IMPORTING TEA
No. Church Street,

This is a combination Of capitalists to supply the
consumers of Teas throughout the United States on
the mutual principle.
We have experienced agents in all the best districts
of China and Japan to select Teas especially for
trade.
We expect every consumer Of Teas to render us all
the assistance they can in carrying out our enter
prise. as we make speciality of SUPPLYING CON-
SUMERS ONLY (and allow no middlemen to make
any profit on our importations( which will enable
us to supply them with Teas at prices lower than
have ever been known, and Of those fine qualities that
seldom reach the INTERIOR being sold only in the large
cities and among the very wealthy.
Hoping the consumer will take an interest in our
ENTERPRISE and send at once for circular with full
explanations of how to proceed to obtain goods
We remain, Most respectfully yours,

creased that the s@loons will stand little
chance Of patronage.
In contradistinction to this method of
dealing with intemperance, look At the re-
suit achieved by thespraying bands Of wo-
men who mass all their efforts upon prayers
and psalms.
The center of all this effort has been in
Ohio, and it has exteaded to Indiana, Ken
lucky, Illinois and Iowa. Columbus has
four hundred places where liquor is sold,
and, after seven weeks of incessant pray
ing, half dozen low dens and one billiard
hall have succumbed:. The improbable
hells gave up the ghost and the paying
ones are doing more business than ever
while the praying bands are daily growing
smaller At Morrow, where most Of the
groggeries yielded, Cincinnati firms have
opened new places. At Circleville liquor
may not be bought by the glass but is pro-
cured by the quart or gallon. So at Xenia,
and from every quarter comes the same
cry.
There are but two towns in Ohio where
all the saloons were closed, and in those
intemperance still prevails. The move.
ment, from religious standpoint, has not
succeeded because it has not commanded the
unanimous support Of the Church itlelf-
many of the laity and clergymen Nave de-
clined to give their sanction because in
temperance cannot be stayed without or
ganizing public opinion against it. In the
opinion Of your correspondene1raying in
the streets does not .asssnplisk this.
would not have you or your readers think
am not temperance man, for no one is
more so, but, believing as do, my protest
is recorded against this foolish method of
exhibition in the public streets. LEX.
