In rating merchants worth cash or good
notes count a hundred cents for dollar. Book
accounts count nothing and they oftimes make
him poorer. farmer does not accept the
term "charge 1t" Tor his wheat or corn and go
home without any money, bat when he sells
his stock or produce he wants the money at
once, When merchant sells for cash he adds
profit for the use of the money for the time it
is 1nvested-30, so or 80 days. What he sells on
credit he adds a profit for the time the money
is used 90 or 90 days i'll goods and to ~ months

of collecting, the cost and time o. keeping the
books and the lots OF unpaid accounts for
those who do pay have to pay for what othera

A Little Modestv.

We see it stated that desire is expressed
by certain prominent Virginia Republicans
for conference to heal the differences in
the party The best way to accomplish
that is for each Republican to attend to
his own business; stop talking about non :
essential matters: determine to give the
administration of Harrison cordial and
united support; let the people have a say
in the nomination Of State ticket this
year; cease elimination and recfim mat ion:
let Mahone have rest; frown down agi-
tation of the claims OF this man or that
for federal recognition stop the corner.
