npAY As YOU GO"

"pav as YOU 60" Is not only good
rule OF conduct from a business point OF
view. but is a good moral precept as well.
II were impossible. Of course, and unde-
sirable 10 transact all the great business
affairs Of life on a cash basis. inc
credit system IS the mark as 1t Is the
creature OF civilization. In the great az
fairs Of life we exchange credits ana at
a given time settle balances and 50
transact business up in the millions
without passing but a few dollars IN act
ual cash. without our system Of credits
and bank clearance It would be almost
impossible for the business world 10 get
along in these days Of gigantic deals.
Nor is credit a bad thing for the indi-
vidual, If he know how 70 employ It ad-
vantageously. The merchant who has
small capital may under the credit sys-
te carry on large business doubling
and cuadrupling his capita. In the course
OF a year. The man who has stated
income and buys property on the Install
ment plan and pays Off his debt from
month to month is on the road 10 fortune.
But The man who gets behind IN his Nv
Ing expense and who piles up debt from
day to day and from month 70 month IN
Ill he gets 10 the point where 1t IS i'm
possible for him 10 meet his obligations
will lose his peace Of mind, will in all
probability lose his self-respect and is in
danger of losing his character. lie is al
most sure to become a pessimist for he
sees the dark side only Of human char
acter and human life.
Business is business" is a hard saying,
for II sometimes means brutality such as
would put to blush the savage. In these
DAYS the creditor does not literally take
his debtor by the threat" and cast him
into prison. as in olden times, Until the
uttermost farthing be paid. but many
creditors are possessed Of the same spirit.
and woe boude the man who gets himself
in the grasp Of such creditor!
The debtor Of refined feelings and Of
self-respect will IN the beginning Of his
troubles resent the importantly and inso-
lence Of his unsausaed creditor, end he
may have a few personal difficulties but
by and by be will see that that sort Of
conduct does more harm than good, and
he viii take this cuff and take that from
the sordld man who holds a CLAIM tst
him unu has renned sensibilities are
biunted. until he lets creditors heap
abuse upon him. until he loses his self
respect. until he comes TO the conclusion
that all men are merciless towards those
who owe them, until mayhap he reasons
with himself that he is justifable in re-
sorting 10 any desperate measures TO re-
lieve himself from the burden and degra-
dalton Of debt.
such an experience, we say. tends not
only to blunt the moral and refined sem
sibliues. but to develop the latent mean
ness in man. IN order 10 stave Off his
creditors he makes promises which he
does not fulfil and finally gets to be a
lar in his own estimation as well as In
the estimation Of others. Fe loses his
own solf-respect because he feels that
others Do not respect him, end when a
man gets to that point it IS but step
to dishonesty.

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

Tae New York Sun which seems to
feel a sort OF personal responsibility ior
the Richmond Times. reproduces IN part
"a article from these columns which APP
peared several days ago. IN which we
took occasion 10 say that we recognized
the fact that a majority OF the members
Of the Democratic party in the South
and West are in favor OF Bryan and free
silver. The Sun says that this article
Is a warning TO the sound money Demo-
Gratis in New York. who are supporting
the regular Democratic State ticket.
The point is not well taken. While
we know that the majority of the Chi
cago party In the South and the West
are IN favor Of repeating the programme
Of 1896. we know that there is strong
and healthy minority opposed to It, and
our hope is In the Democrats Of New
York. New Jersey. Connecticut and other
states at the North. who have not bowed
the knee to the silver god.
n our opinion the Democrats IN New
York have pursued the right course. The
sound money men are in control Of the
organization and will remain in control
and when the convention meets in 100
these Democrats of the East will be
there in fighting trim to be reckoned
with. II the Jones element shall be In
control the party In 1900 will again COM
nit itself 20 Organism. But that els-
ment will not control without desperate
battle with the Sound Money Democrats,
headed by the delegation from New
York. The party leaders in New York
are far-seeing and they know what they
are about.
II New York with united Democracy
can elect Van Wyck. It will show what
can be done by the party when silver Is
sent to the rear. AS it IS impossible to
elect a Democrat 70 the ONCE Of Presi-
dent without some Of the States who are
normally Democratic, but who voted for
Mckinley on tho money question It Will
he plain that the silvcrite Democrats VIII
have 10 choose between an adherence tn
silver and thereby abandoning ell hope
Of electing a President or abandoning
silver and thereby having a good chance
of having a Democrat in the presidential
