PAY Till'' MKKCIIANT. The follow lug from tin* (ileeiiwooil Journal Is HO gins I we reproduce it here without comment : "The more we think of it, the more yve lire con v I neei I that the time has not only come, hnt it hit* passed when somethlutf definite ami substantial should he done for the lAerchaut. The hii.v a hale nioveinent has seen its ilay, ami we are not prepa red to Kiiy, in the IlKht of developments, since it hegnu, whether It wan a good tiling not. Itnt of one thing we are quite sure, the merchant should no! he forced to stand U|> and he squeezed as he 1h lieiug Hi|iimeil, Tliere are plenty of people who are aide to pay hlin every dollar that they owe, hut they are taking ail vantage of the situation to stave off payment. There are others who could make arrangements to get the money and pay hint, if they only cared to do no. "I,et us rciucpiher that the merchant did not have his goods given to him, hut lie litis either paid for them or he will have to pay, and he cannot jaty Ills hills unless he Ik paid. <!oine to ' think of It now. Do you hot lielleve that it is time that the merchant wus helng paid? Perhaps you have failed to consider the matter and for tills reason you have held him up until the present time, and have conic to no de cision when you will give him the re lief that you could so <\jiHlly give. Sup pose you make It a matter of con science and of honor. "We are quite aure that no man hua a right to delay the payment of his dehts when they are due, unless he hits the consent of the party whom he owes. This Is the llrat'atey to he tak en, and If It is not perfectly satisfac tory to him tliei'e should he made every effort that Is possible to pay him. What we have^n hand, either In our IwjcketH, in hank, or warehouse or ly ing at home waiting for better price* Is not our own. as long as we owe It. We should not claim it. hut should put It cheerfully into tlie hands of those who risked our honor, and accomoda tion." _y. A Town Killer.

One man of that kind could not kill New York, although he did all ho pos sibly eon hi to cripple that city. A few. men of that kind In an average com munity will kill It. or hold It back un til they die.
