TO PROTECT MERCHANTS

The Bulk Sales" bill and the Merchants Protective association just now bring to mind some facts connected with business in Alaska which are of very great importance. The people of the territory have, probably, a higher standard of hon esty than those of most places but rom time to time practices crop up which are most unfair to the men who carry on mercantile un- dertakings. Some men, but very few, have entered business without tEe necessary experience or capital and s'ter the inevitable failure have sold out in a hurry to someone else without meeting their obligations. The result is that wholesalers get sung and the credit of merchants ] The territory suffers. The bill just introduced ought to obviate this.
 On the question of merchants pr ta-ttYe associations it may be said tna' they arc really necessary and ber'er for the consumers as we'll as fer the merchants themselves. They ha~s been started in almost every 'cYn in Alaska but are sometimes misunderstood.
 One of the chief aims of such associations is to separate those whose credit ought to be good from those who abuse credit. In every trwD there are some very few who make it a practice to secure credit everywhere and meet their bills nowhere. Such people not only rob tr business man but they make him suspicious about good folks w1o never have any intention but to meet their obligations.
 Fer this reason alone merchants should be encouraged to get to- gether and stay together. - Juneau Dispatch.
