How 20 Make Better Time

The credit system, together with the
large homestead and exemption of per-
sonal property in this and mauy other
States has fos .ered carelessness as TO
mesting obligations, and in many cases
has forced bankruptcy. The credit sys-
TEN must. therefore, in a great extent,
be done away with. Our people are not
able to pay enormous per Get Is. for goods
as the credit system implies, nor are our
merchants IN a CONDITION to carry on such
n system and take the risks. A higher
appreciation of moral Obligations Is also
demanded, not only Of the people, but OF
the public officials. These, together
with the necessity of general strict
pu' lie and private economy, are q few
of the necessary remedies for restoring
