How many people in this commun- ity are living on their own money? If the question was put to each person individually he unquestionab- ly would answer he is living on his own funds. And he doubtless would be entirely sincere in his statement, is the comment of an exchange. But are we really living on our own money? " Let's dig down under the surface and see what we find. For the sake of argument we will assume that you are running an ac- count with the grocer, and the butch- er and possibly other merchants. You pay, of course, but perhaps you make settlement only every sixty or ninety days. Some even pay their bills only twice a year. Now was -it your-monéy . that paid the wholesaler for the goods you are using and for which you have not paid, or was it the merchant’s? And if it was the merchant’s and you have not paid him, is it your money you are living on until set- tlement day, or is it his? ‘We contend that fully one-half the people are living from day to day on other people’s money, and by do- ing so they are themselves directly contributing to the present high cost of living. Now control your rising anger for a moment, and we will humbly en- deavor to show you why you are keeping prices up. The average mercantile stock costs several thousands of dollavs, and it must be paid for in cash or the merchant must obtain a line of credit from the wholesaler. And when he buys his goods on credit he pays a higher price for them. In turn you buy your goods from the merchant on credit, and he in self-defense must add still an ad- ditional “safety” profit. In other words, he must charge more than a cost price in order to protect him- self from the certainty of loss conse- quent upon slow collections, bad debts and other annoyances. Thus two ‘“‘safety” profits are ad- ded to the original selling price of |; the article. Do you see how it works—how the price is boosted? If every customer paid spot cash for his goods the merchant in turn could do the same with the whole- saler, thereby securing from the lat- ter a discount for cash of possibly seven and a half to ten per cent. And then the merchant himself would not be required to add the "safety profit’”’ to his goods, which would mean another substantial re- duction in the price of the article and all because of the expediency of handling the cash over the counter. Now doesn'’t it look as though this practice of living on other people’s money is costing us considerably more than we are justified in paying for such a doubtful privilege? It might require some slight in- convenience and a little temporary retrenchment in order to = change over to a cash system, but if a mer- chant made you a flat offer of a fif- teen or twenty per cent discount for cash you would jump at the oppor- tunity. # Doesn’t it appear to be to the ad- vantage of everybody in this com- munity to wipe out the baneful credit system and buy and sell for cash? It certainly looks that way to us. How does it-appear to you?

The argument of the protectionist has always been that the tariff represen- ted the difference between the “pau- per” labor of Europe and American labor. At the present time there is no labor in Europe employed in mak- ing goods for shipment to America, or no goods of any consequence com- ing across the water. Then how, in the name of common sense, does this Democratic or any other tariff in- terfere with, manufacturing condi- tions in the United States? Turn the crank, Jimmy.—Le Sueur News.
