 I implore the merchants to wake up. Let them hold commercial conventions to take this subject into immediate con- federation, and. that business may be expedited. I propose the adoption of a universal rule. something like the fol- lowing, to wit:
 If people, as a general rule.
 Cash money always pay,
 When should you merchants sell them
 goods?
 Today my friends, today. But when they come to buy your goods, And pay when they can borrow, When should you sell those goods they
 want?
 Tomorrow, friends, tomorrow.
 By adopting the above, you merchants will rid yourselves of that class of white and negro farmers who spend their entire time all during the year-especial dur ing the hot summer-eyery day laying on their backs. resolved into committee of ways and means on the question of sup plies at the expense of the merchants. and without work.
