The Sensation of the Period 1!
Strange but I'1-Ic:
HARD TIMES BE GONE!

HARD TIMES BE COME!
I ANlNG been watching for some
4 4 time past the financial pulse OF lhe
country and the ever varying events Of
The trading world with Il view to the in
creaScOr uccrchsC our weekly Purchases
we are prepared to announce to our num-
crous patrons That our investigation of
these subjects has been perfectly satisfuc-
tory anu that we have as Il consequence
forwarded larger orders than ever be-
fore to our New York agency.
The year 1850 therefore begins with
flattcring prospects for faruIers, mcchan-
les and all other laborerS alike. The
financial pulse OF the country is steadily
improving and having returned almost
10 Il hard money basis, we shall gratlu-
ally but surely recover our former pres
tiGe and the SD long declining prosperity
OF our beautiful Southern land. Being
lirniy impressed with the fOrc-shadOw-
inss olllesc approaching events we have
Wadc arrangements commensurate with
the demands they will disclose.
Our Agent in New York is already in
receipt OF our Instructions directing him
TO be on the alert for every sale and fail
urc as well as every house tottcrinr on
The brink of bankruptcy. SO that he, with
cash in hand may take in every bargain
and thus enable us during the present
year not only to increase our own re-
sources, hut to hcnnne also Il never
changing source OF assistance to our
friends by selling them goods far below
the Wholesale market OF New York.
1t was the credit system that paralyZcd
onri Industries in the past and caused so
many interests to urOOp and withcr while
every article needed for flmly consump.
ton doubled in value. Thus while labor
was inadtquatcly compensated, goods of
every description approached almost fab
ulouS prices and the daily sweat OF Il
mans brow barely obtained for himself
ana family the conmoncst neccssurics of
lie. Too much credit will ALWAYS create
demands greater lilan the sources OF sup
Ply VIII satisfy, hence everything takes
nn upward tendency under its operations.
On the other hand cash transactions will
make The supply larger than the demand
ahu consequently goods fall to bottom
prices when this rule prevails.
