CASH VS.. CREDIT.
The Eagle has repeatedly expressed

The Eagle has repeatedly expressed
the opinion that the credit eys'em Is
the greatest obstacle to the material
prosperity OF Bryan. besides doing
great damage to it's moral and relig-
ious interests. When men OF high
standing in the community and In
the church make joke OF their fnan-
cial delinqucncies It is time to thiak
seriously and to act. The condition
cries aloud for reform. A few OF the
merchants have adopted the cash ba-
sis. but while the great majority con-
tinue the credit system they are at
great disadvantages. The Merchants
Association ought to adopt the cash
basis. Everybody knows the mer-
chant who sells on credit has TO make
his good customers pay for the bad
ones or break. There is no justice in
this, and those who are thus imposed
upon have a right TO complain and
to seek relief; II they fail TO do so
through cowardly fear OF offending
somebody. they are delinquent In their
duty to themselves and their fami. /
lies. The man who can pay a just /
debt and will not is dishonest, and I
the improvident and shiftless man I
ought not TO be allowed TO involve
himself In debt OF course In cases
OF misfortune a different principle APP
plies. but these are not numerous
enough to affect the rule.
To show that The Eagle is not
cranky" nor alone in this plea for
the cash basis. paragraph on this
subject in the Sherman Democrat was
clipped and commented on by many
Texas papers. including most OF the
great dailies in their last Sundays
issue. The clipping and few OF the
comments follows:
