Goldsmiths

I love brain teasers..

There are 10 goldsmiths, one of them cheats and deducts 10% of any gold quantity he sells... 
The king has a scale and wants to know which of them is the cheater... What will he do to know the cheater given that he will use the scale only once?

well lets say for instance each one put a kilo in the scale, ino the 1st one put one kilo, n the 2nd put 2, n the 3rd 3 kilos etc.. then the one with less kilos would be the one that cheated.. :D
