Cash Business.

The idea of a cash business is one
that ought to be more generally adopt
cd. When reading the following re-
marks from IN exchange delinquent
subscribers ought to put their thinking
caps on: Some say that a cash business
cannot be done; let US cite you instan-
ces where it is the basis of every trans
action. How many persons are there,
who, when they get freight rom the
depot say, charge it? And when you
get on the train do you say to the con-
dtctor, 81 will pay you the last of the
weekly" You go TO the telegraph office
and send a message. and ask the opera
tor how much it is? When the answer
comes do you tell him to wait a month ?
When you attend a theater or circus do
you remark to the agent, GAS soon as l
sell my hogs I'll fix this ?' A farmer
takes a load of potatoes to market; he
is not in the habit of hearing the dealer
say, "Just charge it; Ill pay it in q
day or two" The farmer expects cash
for his produce, and it is right he should
have it. Cash is required in mailing
letters. They are only three cents, but
we don't ask the postmaster to charge
it. Reader, please remember these
things when about to say a cash bust
ness cannot be done.
