| Show needless HEEDLESS expenditure in THE she folly of reflecting unreflecting nu humanity is exhibited in few instances more than in the purchase of high priced nonessential non essential articles on credit there are now enough sewing in 1 machines in this territory apart from those stored in the premises of agents to suffice for a community of coill ie our present population yet the sale gale of or these machines still goes on the reduction in price may favor further sales although the tho higher the cos eos cost t the greater the desire of some people to pur purchase chuse particularly if the article can be to obtained on a promissory note the same may ba be said in regard to expensive agricultural implements farmers seem to thi think anything cheap and easy to ret get if it they are not required to plank down the cash when they purchase there are hundreds hundred bf families in actual bondage today to day through this reckless 3 rushing into debt money Is worth money anything bargained for by note dote is dear impatience is exceedingly costly and 1 t I want which is ig often mistaken for 1 I need cries so loud that the voice of prudence cannot be heard how much trouble sorrow and lingering poverty mould would be averted if people woul donly wait for what they want until they can pay for ii it i but there is much folly manifested even by those who can purchase with cash they certainly get their goods cheaper than those who buy aa an credit ond und they are exempt from the continual wearying annoyance f the weight of debt and the fearful looking for the dreaded day of payment but la in the matter of machinery there is great waste among them also two thirds of the machinery already purchased by our people is idle half the time this shows a lamen tabe tabo lack of economy what nonsense it la is te have several sewing machines in one family when one is amply sufficient for every requirement of the kind the advantages of combination of labor are nowhere more apparent than in the use of machinery one mower and reaper would amply suffice for a number of far farmers if they would combine and agree in relation to its use so with many other agricultural machines one of which every farmer now thinks he ought to own in his own right and which from the force of circumstances and the shortness of the season for its use remains idle most of the year and bo with sewing bowing machines ot which every woman thinks she ought to own one while it would suffice for a dozen families in her neighborhood an old saying is there is wisdom in all things even in the roasting of eggs there may be wisdom in tho the purchase of machines but it appears to us that it is not very manifest among the masses in this territory if you want to be well off dont buy anything needless and when 3 ou do buy pay as you go |
