(A CHAPTER ON THE CREDIT , SYSTEM. A merchant of this place has re- *{ ceived a eircular letter from the president of a well-known wholesale firm whicli bears upon the pernicious system ' of loose credit and contains so many good points relative to the subject that the INpEPENDENT herewith takes extracts from it, which business men and the people in general wl do well to | read, ponder and reflect over: “During the past (ifteen years which { have been without reverses the com mercial body has become so overcharged | with poisonous matter and nnhealthy systems that the present panic period may in the end prove to be a great hen efit and a great blessing instead of a - ce N oey ) R

& poiut that L 4 ar eLt 1 *rﬁ':\- chieap altogeth |/ or, and the necessities of this country i and of its people compel = ehange, ‘ \cnmpvl them to learn from the most | trying experience that eredit has been ‘ton cheap and that they must reform their methods aud revaap their ideas to get again upon a good and healthy hasis upon which to condnet their busi ness. ® * The recordd of this coun try show that 95 per cent of all the failures that have occurred have been brought about by ONE SINGLE CAUSE, and that cause CREDIT, or, to make, | it more plain, a loose ecredit; credit to people who have no idlea of prompt \

B e s ness, credit to people who buy withofit | i any fixed time even in their own minds 1 of dates when they mean to pay for their purchases. I vefer in this par- | tieularly to the farmer and consumer, as e buys from the retailer. A farm | er who has anything to sell from aload | of wheat toa bull calf never for a moment entertains the thorght of selling | them on eredit. Every item he pro ol e ey s et s T

el g NAs U 0 56l Ml Mo D T e casl, and nothing but cash will satisfy him; but when he comes to buy the property of the merchant—which represents eash just as much as his produet of wheat or sheep or anything else he produces—lhe never thinks of paying him cash but almost invariably takes it for granted that he is to haveit on aredit, and have it without any particular or specified time of payment. : . * Tn my.opinion, 2 large amount of oo R . e e R T

thiig credit business 10 CaeEe e ly or largely by good nature on the\‘ part of the votail merchant. He thinks \‘.hn.t, Juo. Smith, who is a clover man | and a good friend of his is a jolly good \‘ fellow, therefore, he does not say NO | to him, and the next time that William \ Jones comes akmgwasous in the same way. Aftera livele while dno. Smith and William Jenes have run up an account as great as the merchant can stagger under without paying ib, el o s Y,

| eyclone, or some other unforeseen cir- ‘ cumstance, And then again, it is apt to be precipitated by the finanecial panios which occnr at certain intervals in this country and always leave the finan- | cial road strewn with the corpses and oL eletons of this merchant class.”

' Mys.

'The kindergayten bours are nominally from 9:380 to 11:30 a. m. and from 1:30 to 8:30 a. m. but any time aflter eight the youngsters begin to arrive and the darkness is the chief reason for their departure st night.
