Is there any other line of bust
ness that thes objection serve
the same? Does anyone go to a
grocer. butcher or any other of
our merchants and say, Il want
to buy my provisions, meat or
other articles of you for one year
and not pay you until the end of
the year, as l don't believe in
paying in advance" Would
anyone receive credit on such a
proposition? And yet this is
what we are asked to do.
Is it fair?
Is it equitable?
Is there justice in it?-Free-
