We, (the undersigned) have /been; doing business |n : * j I ton and the money'we have lost during that period by levariters, and'l blacklegs generally amounts to a ■ great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If ithe. law) oahnot; protect us then we must protect ourselves, and j there is only one way to do so,, viz., to abolish “ the credit system altogether. This, system has been the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience ha? .proved it to be rotten to the core.
