unlearn by his lessons from the world, be- fore he can pass current witlFthe people of fashion, or become master of the art of cheating in a fair manly way----truth and honesty must be considered only as Sum day clothes, but improper for week days, especially if you have bargain to make. Enough of the lessons of the World, says Common Sense, and claims the right of closing with her own observations. Trade is necessary in all civilized countries l; buts bare exchange property does snor in increase it. And whenever more employ ed in this business thanto get living by fair stated commission for their trouble, and reasonable allowance for risk of los ses, it becomes school for fraud, and the means of increasing luxury beyond wealth. 71

 Let man make an estate by trade, and set aside friendship, if most congenial to his mind ,and he can do it without discard ing honesty, and retailing his conscience wish his wasess If call on a person to buy an article, in which he deals, and am ignorant ofitsprice and quality he is the fittest person to inform me. If he deny me this information, have right to neg lect him for his impoliteness; it would save me the trouble ofrunning all over town let his frankness be called friendship or honesty it is quite immaterial; it would in- sure my custom but if he took advantage of my ignorance, ought to shun him as a polite pickpocket. On the whole I be- lieve every reader would find his interest in fair dealing; if they think otherwise, as the public good or honor of our country would be light inducements,I have only to add argument to the vanity of those who are distinguished as patterns for imitation -let plain truth be introduced as fash- ion-it would come from our seaports with a good grace--our country people would be emulous to appear in the mode, and the common sense of every one would acknowledge that :" Honesty is the best po- licy."
