There is not a single argument that we can think of in . favor of keeping place* of business open until twelve o'clock on Saturday , nights. f>n the other hand, there are [ a multitude of reaaoiv* why those who j gain their livelihood 'by working inj .stores and shops should be allowed | to begin their weekly rest at an ^ earlier hour. When one has worked ail the week and until after twelve | o'clock on Saturday night, with so, many of the week-end duties and ad- 1 ju^tments to be done and made lie- ( f<>rc he can go to rest, it is hard to j get up, get ready and go to church r <>n Sunday morning; and to our mind it is a mighty hard employer who, for the sake of a few extra pennies he thinks he will get, will keep those who work for him tied to his store to such an hour, when by so doing he in vades his employe*'s <tay of rest ( arid diminishes the church attendance in this city. Camden rightfully | boasts good churches, at any one of which one may go on a Sunday morn- i ing ami listen to delightful music and an excellent ami well-propared sermon delivered by an able preacher; but those who have to earn their bread by working in stores may be excused if they do not feel like getting up and going to church on Sunday morning when they are not allowed to seek their rest until one or two o'clock on Sunday morning A petition ra being circulated among tho bUHrmoss people for the closing of the places of businesn as above indicated.

Short Discussion On Deflation John I>evm*, of Ntnr York City, a lawyer, who ha# been evening to (m mder. f>*r a numbtrr of years, has written the follower* timely article on the subject <*f "*InflstK#n," which will no dodbt be read with great interest : Every depression has its root in one thing -<kebC Every (hpresnon is due in it# e#- i seme to one thing?the pressure of j the creditor on the debtor, and the ne* p- eidsng stream of liquidation j ."&u-ed thereby i A Jepr?r< s.on ^ really terminated' by or.e thing--the transfer of?The ' pr >p? rty of vne debtor .nt?# the handr- , of the creditor. Wr.t r. the property of the debtor j ha- Ix-en transferred to the creditor, the dt ot j.t cancetied, credit is onca' rnor*- revived and the depression itlifted. } (trodit is revived when, arwj only ( when. tn? old debt i# cancelled, be-1 au-e in nature of thing* credit will! not be extended for the barfw# pur jK>se ??f paying old debts, nrlerein lies the fallacy of credit inflation. Socalled Credit inflation is not inflation a', all. Inflation is something which ra^es prices, and anything that does not raise prices is not inflation. Socalled crod;t inflation merely contains potentialities of inflation which, however. wiii become actuated, only when pa->t debt has become liquidated; and as it functions only after the debt | Las beer. discharged, it will not be j available to raise prices until prices ' have .1.ready ri*er. as a result of the re--al;or? of the liquidation nect-.s-sary , pay old debts.

V. r.ao '* t . r<- ::' :* : Wei. S i h 1; '' * i" *t' d'?x p.v*<-rn of a depres- >-?Ti ami depressions in the past have bet-n terminated by the apphcat.on of this formula ?the trans-, fer of the property of the debtor ir.toj the hand* o" the creditor, the conse- j quent abolition of the debt and the -*ub.sr-quent revival of credit, which is j "the life-blood of commerce." Tt is my belief that this depression cannot be solved by the application of this orthodox formula for one very .simple reason. Never in the history of civilization have there been so many people entangled in the mesh of debt and oppressed and crushed thereby. Never in history have there been so many debtors. ? It might 1h? possible to ruthlessly enforce- a complete liquidation of debt, restore credit, and thereby end ; a depression, when the number of debtors is proportionally small, but1 when the proportion of debtors is very large, this very large number J of debtors will not accept this solu-, lion of the-problem by the transfer j of their property," It may be objected that the mere j question of numbers cannot affect the . essential nature of the problem. But j considerations of number, time nnd , space affect all human relations. An mora rase or decrease in the number of people involved changes the nature of every human problem. A .strong bank can survive a run from a number of depositors; but let the number of depositors who demand their money at the same time be large enough and any bank will fail. ATI human institutions are "of the willow, rg0? of the oak." When a groat majority of the population is mvolved in a morass of debt Which can only be discharged by the transfer of their property the | problem has emerged from the stra- j turn of human life and affairs which is regulated by the laws and custom? if commerce, to a stratum of human; life, where the basic interests of huma nit y itself are invoKed. regulated j >,v the fundamental principles of; e<i.;.*'. and i.isl. e. The problem has wur.- 'he < ? -.nojpir con, i . . , ftr,. i.ut weighed by the i r.c, i?- ;,nr;\ It is ne of those \v. h. fts Burke has -.-aid \1 >v wa'ves ' s ruie-i :r. order . r. -u'T".s principles." S-, w- corvlud? that t'h - depr?-? n. w."h??ut precedent in the number of r.umar. bongs involved throughout '>,< world, cannot and will n"t be - .ived by the application of the orthodox formula. \\"'ru? then can be done? If the : prea->...r. must be terminated oth<^ wise than by the transfer of the property of the debtor to the creditor, and if credit carmot begin to flow until the debt is extinguished, then the debt must bo paid. But the debt uu^' Is* rea!!y paid *o that credit can he released; it will not do to rob Peter to pay Phoi; it w.Sl not do .0 rotierv? any ainglo claas or even mar.y , ;a,,f d.r< from the. burden of their debt by ir.rrcadrg the debt (,f 1 h?* r--?t ?f tn?* :Oov.;r..t y; .1 w ill not do to help the farmer by adding to the cost of living of all *ho re*- <-f the people. Now in order to enable the debtor at the present time to pay his debt the price of the commodities and ?ervices which are the only things* he can tender in payment thereof, must be raised to such an extenfcr th*t it will become possible for him to liquidate his debt. This can be done by lowering: the value of the common denominator of all debt,?money, and it can be done in no other way. This is also the only way in which the noxious by-products of this pressure of the creditor on the debtor, which we call a depression, can be removed. Of these by-products today hoarding is the most conspicuous example., At the present time, money is very much more valuable than things. I As long as money is more valuable than things, money will be hoarded. The only way to bring money out of hoarding and into functioning is to j make things more valuable than money,?and this, I repeat, can only be done by a measure which wiil raise the entire plateau of prices by diminishing the value of their common denominator?-money. There is only one way of accomplishing tftas?by controlled currency inflation. tt is my profound belief that the speedy adoption of this rruaaswre, inevitable in the long run, will result in the saving of countless human lives, of biltiona of dollars in values; and in the early restoration-wpf tranquility at a time when chaps ,-js invminemt, ami disintegrating force* ar* shaking the bases of civilization.

Last year, after a long siege, the lower house of the Legislature pass- ( ed an apprupriation bill. The Senate then took it, piddled on it indefinitely and raised it several million dollar ? When brought back to the house a portion of the members were busted, some at heart sympathetic with the raise, others willing, but weakkneed, and all ready to go home, spccombed as usual to senate dictation and voted concurrence in the hairy m??r.ster.

Our readers will remember that we predicted this resuit when the old standpat, fossilized senate lenders were left ini the saddle. To give the public a notion of the dumb business methods employed Just a few lines will prove it. There ia first ark expensive and useless budget committee. No attention is paid to it. It is only a fifth wheel in order to supply some fat and easy crumbs. Next comes the ways and means committee which goes over identically the same ground for a month or more. The serrate then takes charge, ami picks the olid goose for another six weeks.
