ra fcc gaits gtficnim. ASTOKIA. OREGON: FRIDAY. ..MAY 13. 1687 BUYING AHEAD. A good cash customer is always a favorite with dealers, says the Industrial Gazette. "Whether he be the daily laborer, purchasing tHc necessary supplies for his fam ily, or the merchant or manufac turer, who is buying in large quantities to handle again. And in addition to bing in good favor, the cash customer can get his goods at a lower price than if he is a continual credit purchaser. This of itself would be an item if it could be saved, leaving out the fact that , as a rule, the cash cus tomer will live cheaper, because when he has the cabti on hand to pay for what he is purchasing, of ten apparently small items or things will not seem as necessary as when he is buying on credit. No matter how financially good a man may be, rich cr poor, or how honest, there is always more or less risk to the dealer in sell;ng on credit. The dealer in selling: on credit must, if he does a safe business, take this risk into con sideration in setting the price up on his goods." "Even when the dealer is care ful to investigate the financial standing of each of his customers, hetrealizes th.it there is more or less risk when he sells to only those whose standing beais inves tigation. A man may bo perfectly honest and yet bo unable to pay a debt that in the past has been contracted. It may have been for the necessaries of life that the debt was made, but his present necessities and those of his family may take ail he can possibly earn, and as a consequence he is unable either to pay for what he has pur chased on cradit or lay up any thing for the future. The dealer who sells on credit to the laborer understands that this condition may come to the front at any time, and if he credits, must sell at a price that will pay him for running this risk. "A great proportion of our la boring men buy ahead. When pay day comes, whether it is every week or every month, the wages they have earned are already spent. Dealers have credited them, and when pay day tioraes what is received is paid out, and they commence anew purchasing ahead on the next payday. Everv sensible man canseo that the deal er who sells goods in this way is running considerable risk. While the laborer may be perfectly hon e t an 1 w.U pay every dollar he O es when he can, so many con tingene'es may arise that it would be an impossibility for him to pay, and the dealer must, of necessity, expect more or less loss. If he does a safe business, supports his family, and pays his debts, this per cent, of loss that he suffers by selling on credit mubt be added to the piice of his goods and when the credit customer purchases and pays for his goods, he pays his per cent, of this loss." c,It is not easy to suggest a plan that under all conditions would be the best to enable the laboring man to pay cash for what he pur chases. In a majority of cases he can only economize until he can save a sufficient amount of his cap ital to pay cash from one day to another. Tlrs, of course, in many cases would require good manage ment. "When a man finds himself just able to live and support his family upon what he earns, it will requ re some self-denial to save a sufficient amount to be independ-' ent and pay cash for his purchases; but'once secuced-he will find that he can live cheaper ind better, be sides having the satisfaction of knowing that he does not owe for anything. And at the same time he can lay the foundation for sav ing something for a rainy day. If he can economise sufficiently to enable him to purchase the family supplies and pay cash, he can in a short time buy in larger quantities and make another saving. And these two points, with economy, will enable him to commence lay ing up something for a rainy day, to either purchase a home or go into business for himself."- Now and then, amid the dry and dusty way of politics, strewn with dead cats and ancient eggs and other campaign accompani ments, is found a little flower of sentiment, or a little fresh, green life. This time it is a little Ken tucky blue grass. Two years ago, S. B. Buckner, of Kentucky, wooed-and won a bride, and prom ised her that she should be . the wife of the governor of Kentucky. The Kentucky Democracy gallant ly nominated the aged Buck for governor last week, just to make good his promise. A Kentucky Democratic nomination is equiva lent to an election. Buckner is the man that surrendered Fort Donelson to General Grant over twenty-five years ago. The New York Evening Post has a special from its war corre spondent at Albany giving a full account of General Sullivan's ex pedition in l7?9 and the rout of the Six Nations, The mugwump papers may be slow in obtaining the news, but their subscribers can depend on getting it either in time or eternity. A diuectoe of the St. Paul rail road says his company will .save $1,000 a da' by the wiping out of free passes under the interstate commerce bill. Seine Lost. AT MILLFR'S SANDS.
