A moment's reflection will show the customer that the more honest way of doing business would be to pay the few cents he had on the overdue account or spend it with the merchant who has accommodated him. But such is not what is done. The result is that the merchant who is good enough to give credit gets nothing but credit to pay his bills while the outside merchant gets the cash. No wonder there is hard times ! Besides credit alieniates cash custom- ers. A customer who can pay cash'is: looking for an advantage in a cash purchase. A merchant that will carry a customer for one month, three months or one year, cannot mark his goods the same as if he would receive cash. No merchant to do a successful business can have botha cash and a credit price. This is becomingy generally known to the public and those who can peel pay cash refuse todo it. As a result the ready cash that there is in circula- tion is eventually driven out of town. As stated the merchant is not the only sufferer. We are convinced that the citizen who buys out of town is the loser in the end. He drives business from our town. He supports institu- tions whose profits are invested not to his advantage as would be the case if he supported local merchants. He supports business concerns which do no help to keep our roads in good con- dition, to repair our sidewalks, to sup- port our public institutions, our library, schools and churches, altogether he is an enemy to our town. And we are convinced that he will not*do better than in buying in Port Perry. Our merchants in one year will save him more money than will the ants deals with in Toronto. B know this.

April 26th, 1897. ™ She Lort Lewy Standard. PORT PERRY, APRIL 29, 1897. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The session of the Ontario Legislative Assembly just ended was a remarkable one in many respects. It was the first session in many years that the Govern- ment had not been led by Sir Oliver Mowat. The session brought forth many diffiicult situations, many critical moments for a new leader. Mr. Hardy acquitted himself like a veteran and passed through it all like one who had been tried and proven. His success is more remarkable because of the vigorous and able opp0sition put forth by Mr. Whitney and his followers. Mr. Whitney during the session made things more lively for the Government than had many of his predecessors in office. Because of the new leaders it has developed the session which has certainly been a remarkable one. Hard times! No money! as else- where, is heard every day on the streets of Port Perry. It is invariably the answer of the merchant to the query, How is business? And then it is asked, why is it? How is it that with our good agricultfiral surroundings, and our other sourcegfor making money that it is so scarce, that times are so very-hard? How is it that our _ merchants have to take "I will pay you again " for their groceries and dry s Is; that on settling up day they to say to their wholesale houses, | canonly pay you so much; we hundreds of dollars on our books e cannot collect it; our customers ve no money, how do you expect us The answer to these questions would discover a condition of affairs which is little dreamed of. To discuss all the avenues through which the moncy of our citizens goes, is not our present intention. We desire only to direct attention to one channel through whi roportion of the herchantile interests 1 the very life is being drawn. I certain ruin of ou the ground on whie' d city stores must do a competition is as much between Toronto stores and Port P. stores as between stores side by. within the corporation. Howe we regret this, Such is 1 affairs. These stores are ever ¥ us _com- peting for our ready cash trade, Times are changing. The public, the farmer, tradesmen, laboring and_ professional men are being taught to do their buy- ing through advertisements. Cash cus- tomers now buy almost exclusively from advertising, and where they deem it cheapest irrespective of sentiment. As we have stated Toronto merchants spend dollar after dollar to catch the cash trade. If they can afford to do this can our merchants afford to let them! No, we must meet them on their own battleground, must contest every inch of ground. If our local merchants have goods on their shelves, as they have, ascheap, as good in quality as the out de merchints they must let the puretiasing public know it if the would have preference with the cash buyers. The volume of trade going out of town is a i month increasing, be- ing influenced by the outside advertis- ing. We would that it were prevented so that not one dollar would leave Port Perry to purchase what can be pur- chased here. - We believe that if this $20,800 were retained in Port Perry, remained in circulation in town that it would not be necessary to holler so much about hard times! We are convinced also that there is no economical'advantage to the public in sending their money 'from our community. If this were proven to the public they would percipitate it no fur- ther. It remains for Port Perry and its merchants to demonstrate to the public that purchases can be made with equally as good advantage in Port Perry as anywhere out of it ; that what is advertised by outside stores can be done by stores in town; that ruin lies in the wake of out-of-town buying. Other towns have shown the public this. Oshawa and its vicinity once bought most of their goods in Toronto ; now its people buy their goods at home. We would welcome any fortunate circum- stance that would bring about the dis- appearance of these departmental stores, but can hardly see from whence our help is tocome. Certain it is that we have them now, and our present ( is to make every effort to defeat ends, to frustrate thei Signs must be done, in whatever man- ner; for until it is, the yearly exodus will only inerease, and the cry of hard times will be but repeated with more impressive truthfulness.

There is a slight im- provement aswe go to press, we are pleased to say. The William Sadler farm, thirty- eight acres, was withdrawn from sale by Auctioneer Poucher, at Gleeson's hotel, Greenwood, last Saturday owing to the bidding falling $400 short of the reserved bid of $1,900. i Mr. J.
