II we have ever said thai the merchants OF this
CIV charged twenty-five per cent. profit for
credit, We were doubtless wrons-bui we never ala
say Il What we have said and still stand by is
,his-,he practice of giving Creditor Goods en-
hapces theircot totaccoaSuier at least t'rehy PEI
cent. For instance, the Iwporer sells on credit 10
the Joh5er, and charges more-say FIVE per cent
than he would If he traded exclusively Tor CASH
The Jobber sells these Goods TO the Country Met-
chant. on credit again, and chargesfor the cledi'
saw FIVE per cent more than II ne sold for cash.
Here are two pro.its-say OF Eve per cent each
and two charges for credi--say five percent. more
in all twenty per cent advance on the prime
cost and ten per cent. more than II no cfeui, ilao
been given, before the goods leave the city Ii the
Country Merchant does not on the average double
the credit figure, then our experience is sadly al
fault. Yet we know there are instances in which
nothing ike this is charged-we are not speaking
of special cases but OF the general effect of Mer-
camille Credit


We have, in our small way, done business on
both plans We printed newspapers and let them
90 on Credit for seven years, had subscribers in
abundance, made money on our books, but ran in
debt and nearly starved out We hauled oil, and
for the last four years we have gone on the ether
tack, with very satisfactory improvement in our
condition Theinen who paid before pay now, with
many more, and we are able 20 supply them cheap
er than of old We can sell our Weekly for 81 80
copy Tour average price) and make money by 1t,
when se should lose on - copy, giving credit.
Such, we doubt not is the general experience OF
those who have changed from Credit TO Cash
business. May the transformation go steadily on
