Thesc are tricks of the trade, and very shabby ones they are. It may well be questioned how these *snide™ companies, which are gradualiy exhsusting the vatience of the country, manage to subsist. The fect 18, that as 2 genorat shing they do not, Even the better class of them barely live, while the remainder must SUIRK THEIR JUST DEBTS or otherwise beat somebody of his dues.

What money he hay will barely pay his hotel bill, and the local = printing and other expenses must go to the dogs. If he can estisfy his landlord aud leave behind a handful of promises to pay, ho does well. The local papers rise ib indigna- tion, mention their bills, aud warn their conntry b;e'.hren against him.
