"PAY AS YOU CO."
A Good Rule of Conduct and a Good
Moral Precept as Well.

Pay as YOU GO is not only a good
rule of conduct from business point
of view. but is good moral precept
as we'll. 1t were Impossible of
course, and undersira BILE to transact
all the great business affairs of life
on cash basis. The credit system
is the mark as it is the creature of
civilization. In the great affairs of
life we exchange credits and at a
transact business up in the millions
without passing but a few dollars in
| actual cash. Without our system of
credits and bank clearance it would
be almost Impossible for the business
world to get along in these days of
gigantic deals.
Nor is credit a bad thing for the
individual, if he know how to employ
it advantageously The mercha
who has a small capital may under
the credit system carry on a large
business doubling and quadrupling
his capaitl in the course Of a year.
The man who has a stated income
and buys property on the INSTALL
ment plan and pays off his debt from
month to month is on the road to
fortune. But the man who gets be-
hind in his living expense and who
piles up debt from day to day and
from month to month until he gets
to the point where it is impossible
for him to 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.
business is business is hard
SAYING, for it sometimes means bru-
tally such as would put to blush the
savage. In these days the creditor
does not literally take his debtor by
the throat and east him into prison,
as in olden times, until the utter
most farthing be paid, but many
creditors are possessed of the same
spirit, and woe betide 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 impor-
tunity and insolcnce of his unsatis-
llCu 1lttltOI, duu ut llld\ nave lew
personal difficulties, but by and by
he will see that sort of conduct does
more harm than good. and he will
take this cuff and take that from the
sordid man who holds G claim against
him until his refined sensibiities are
blunted, until he lets creditors heap
abuses upon him, until he loses his
self-rcspect; 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 justitiable in resorting to any
desperate measures to relieve him
self from the burden and degrada-
ton of debt.
Such an experience, we say, tends
not only to blunt the moral and re-
fined sinsibilities, but to develop the
latent meanness in man. In order
to stave off his creditors he makes
promises which he does not fulfill,
and finally gets to be liar in his
own estimation as we'll as in the
estimation of others. He loses his
own self-respect because he feels that
others do not respect him, and when
man gets to that point, it is but a
step to dishonesty.
