THE CASH SYSTEM.

"Heartily do I wish that shop debts were pronounced after a certain date irrecoverable at law. The effect would be that no one would be able to ask credit at a shop except where he was well known, and for trifling sums. All prices would sink to the scale of cash prices. The dishonourable system of fashionable debtors--who always pay too late, if at all, and cast their deficiencies on other customers in the form of increased charges--would be at once annihilated. Shop-keepers would be rid of a great deal of care, which ruins the happiness of thousands."--_Professor Newman's Lectures on Political Economy._
