THE EVIL OF CREDIT.
-
The First Step Should be Taken by
the Merchants.
LrraN. IuAp CoUNTY, Utah.

LEvAN, JUAB COUNTY, Utah.
r. the Editor of THE HERALD.
In your issue Of the 18th inst. appears
~ article on the fault of our credit
sv.fem. As I have been in business for
nearly twelve years in this country, l
road the article with great interest, as
saye felt for long time that 1t would
be q beneftto the people in this country
# some steps could be taken against the
evil of the credit business. ] will adj
NIT that credit is an accommodation IN
some instances, but it has come to a
noint that it will almost be necessary to
adont some plan to work against it, and
the only way I can see is. according to
NV experience in business, for the Salt
Lake houses not to extend the credit to
the country merchants, but make
purchasers meet their obllgatlons
ppronptly. There are houses IN Salt
fake which carry country stores on
cTedit over and above their capital
stork invested, in order that they may
consume the whole business, ana com;
Uetition. They should not extend
credit. but should regulate the pro1t on
GOODS in order TO be a beneht to the
Community and the poor credit Is, IN
many instances, an INJURY 10 the peo-
nile for the very reason thag poor people
INV things they can do without; but II
the people would live within their
means they would be good deal hap
nier than they are to-day: And IN order
Ia better the financial circumstances IN
the country, 1 say let the credit system
he worked down, and let the means be
where it belongs, and if the wholesale
houses of Salt Lake City and other
places will take the first steps in this
matter it will be a blessing and great
benefit to the country. Furthermore,
if the capitalists in this Territory would
invest capital in home manufactures in
different branches of labor, where en-
ployment for our young men and boys
could be furnished, throughout the
country, it would result in some good
for the rising generation. As my ex-
perience has been, not only in this coun-
Try but other places, as a general thing,
the credit evil sustains the evil of idle
ness. This credit business is not con-
fined to general merchandise, but it is
extended to every branch of business.
in buying merchandise and farming
implements. All the country agent
has to do in selling a machine or wagon
is to get the purchaser to sign an iron
clad note, and has nothing to do with
the collection, although he has just as
much wages for one hours work as a
merchant can earn in ten days. Ii the
farmers can work for dollar day, the
country merchants can do the same in
nine cases out of ten, and agents can do
the same. Let the labor be eGaalized,
lei the poor man have the benefit of all
competition, and let every sub-agent be
responsible for what goods he sells, and
collect payment for the same. II this
plan could be adopted one step would
be taken in order to reduce the credit
evil. But the leading business men
must take the first step in this matter.
