CASH Or CREDIT

To the EDITOR Of TheTrt6unc
Sir There is subject ON which should like TO
learn through your columns the views and experiences
Of other readers of your paper. l am in the habit
Of paying cash for household supplies where this IS
possible and where It is not possible or convenient,
as for instance gasbills lceblls and few others, to
pay promptly the first of every month. Now. am
told by some of my friends that am very foolish I;
that the who buys prudently and pays cash
bites his own nose off. Is it true that the cash
purchaser gets the inferior cuts Of meat the second
class groceries, etc. Is it true that the customer
who up large bills gets the cream Of every thng'
for the reason that the radesman fears TO lose the
money owed him If he does anything TO offend or
annoy the delinquent? Is II good policy for an honest
man keep tracsmcn the tcntcr hooks of anxiety
all the time, of course sending check on account
occasionally and otherwise keeping Just within the
tine at which his credit would actually suffer- The
cashier of great business house, doing an enormous
trade the chief owner being many times millionaire
and man of unsuitable integrity, told me recently
that his Establishment made il matter of principle
never to pay promptly for its raw material experience
having shown that this the way to get the best
service What is the philosophy and what are the
facts? uOOSEhEbfEh'

GEN. PALMER TALKS SOME MORE.
HE ANSWERS SOME CRITICISMS ON HIS ACTION
IN LEAVING THE GRAND ARMY.


IN LEAVING THE GRAND ARMY
Chicago, Nov. GA dispatch from Springfield,
Ms, says The feeling among Democratic soldiers
and friends of General Palmer in regard to his with
drawal from the Grand Army of the Republic has
been intensified by the reported interviews with
various members Of that organization, among others
Messrs. IIealy and Scritner, of Chicago. General
Palmer last evening said:
al have read the interviews and have received
letters the subject from Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and other States Many of the letter writers
approve what they suppose have done, and others,
mostly anonymous writers, abuse and denounce me-
some propose the organization OF ex-soldeS when
circumstances shall show IT to be necessary Ex-
soldiers take their places with other citizens TO
discharge their social aud political duties like feemen
"The interviews published furnish all the evidence
that can be required OF the weunders TODD fact that
the Grand Army organization is political in its ten
denotes and an organized adjunct TO the Republican
party
THAT the profess ional soldiers and Republican
politicians succeeded Ia convincing some soldiers that
Mr. Cleveland was their enemy was probably true'
but what interest the soldiers have that differs from
the interest of other citizens is too hard TO compre-
bend. No of truth sense will say that Mr.
Cleveland abused the soldiers or Is their enemy
Colonel Wiley scribner is Chicago Republican office
holder. lie says my withdrawal from the Grand
Army will burt me much as my withdrawal from
the Army did The suggestion that / diso3eyed an
order Of General Sherman during an engagement and
that he failed hold pOnsibe, is dis graceful
10 General sherman as II is to Tie fact is that
I was relieved of the command of my corps after the
question Of rank waived by me, and upon my own
applica alton TO General Thomas VINO approved of my
conduct and was my warm friend until his death
After this transaction assigned TO the Important
command of the Department of Kentucky by the eA-
,ress direction Of Mr.. Lincoln, and held IL some
fifteen months and afterward was on duty In North
Carolina until the middle Of August, 1866 The
idea that Maor-General could dSobey an order from
his superior given the battle field, and still retain
the confidence of Mr. Lincoln, Edwin NJ stanton ana
George Fl. Thomas absurd that It is dis graceful
to assert IT, In 1868 this story was in some form

then treated with contempt by every solder

A SUGGESTION TO AMERICAN WOMEN.

TO me T. Il ttOT OF me tTtO"Ho'
Sir: It sounds rather odd to read that on Saturday
morning Mrs. Gladstone presided over a meeting OF
ladies Interested the Holborn election. AT any rate
II would sound odd to read that the wife Of an Amer
lean statesman had presided over a similar meeting
here.
Yet why not English ladies frequently render
valuable service m elcctoneerng' In behalf OF their
husbands While this custom cannot, perhaps. he
recommended TO the wives Of American candidates
there IS no reason why women should not meet and
attemnt 70 exert n prop-r influence in elections Mrs
Gladstone spoken of following the new fashion
the fashion Is good one. it will not be wise 10 let
England have a monopoly OF it, Yours, ~ f. T.
