BIG MEETING.

Free silver Men He'd One in ithaca Sat-
urday.
Last Saturday the silver men of
Gratiot held an enthusiastic meeting AT
Church's opera house in Ithaca. The
meeting was numerously attended by
popuists, democrats and republicans,
many going out of curiosity to see and
hear what was going on. The speaker
for the occasion was 5. w. Hopkins of
Mt. Pleasant who. it is said has de-
signs on the congressional representa-
ton from the llth district he spoke
of the benefits to be derived from the
recognition of silver and the prospects
Of securing proper legislation from Il
new party. Short speeches were made
by G. ii. Chase. George p. Stone, G. q.
Graham and James Clarke.
None of them had much to say about
the combination of free trade with free
silver, in fact seemed disposed TO ignore
that point. The meeting was without
especial value from an educational
stand point. 1t was evident from the
trend of the talk that a few Of the lead
ers seemed disposed to regard the move
ment as an opportunity TO lit them
selves into prominence and possibly an
office. Another meeting vii be held
in two weeks.

Cash Basis for the Laundry.

The attempt among local laundry
men to put the business upon a cash
basis is making something Of q stir.
y few relevant facts may lead to a
clearer understanding of the conditions
prompting this movement
These reasons may be summed up in
the sentence: Laundry accounts in
amount are disproportionate to the
cost of keeping and collecting them.
When we consider that the average
100 customers make but $27 in business
and that these hundred customers are
scattered over a wide area (the laun-
dry both collecting and delivering it's
work) light begins to break in upon the
mind of the most ardent credit monser.
Carry the computation little farther.
Suppose none Of the 100 pay cash on
delivery. at the end of a month the
laundry has upon its books the munili-
cent sum OF S10S. In other words it has
100 accounts Of 81 0S each. The expert
enced collector would hardly take up
the collection of laundry accounts as a
pastime. We need not enlarge upon
the pleasure the business man finds in
accounts under the best of conditions.
There is doubtless great satisfaction
in the fact that while there is no cash
in the bank to meet the note falling
due, the book accounts show assets of
100 cents upon the dollar.
one other fact. The laundry neither
manufactures nor sells merchandise, il
is retailer Of labor. 1t pays cash for
its commodity and should get cash in
return. The laundiies are simply
seeking some plan by which they may
enforce cash payments with the mini
mum Of annoyance to their PATRONS
