to the in in who does nut pay bis debts,
lays the 1'arsoiis Suu. It serves as an ex
cellent excuse and at this lime it is his
stock in trade. There is a class that catch
on to all subterfuges that will assist them
in any way to waid elf ciedilois, and the
principal cry of lend limes comes from
that class of people. If each and every
person would Jo his duty toward his neigh
bor aud creditors by paying past and run
uing debts til is cry of bard times would
vanish as the dew before the morning sun
and at such lime it is the duly of every
man to make it a punt that bis small
debts, particularly, are squatted, it is the
obligation nf every citizen to pay as quick
ly as possible. One dollar put into circula
tion cau pay a great many debts and the
cry of bard limes will be greatly lessened.
