The paper trust baa advanced the
price of white paper to such an
alarming extent that newspapers
barely make a living profit out of
subscribers, when they pay strictly
in advance, and when a publisher
has to lay out of niouey to run the
paper "on time" and then go to the
expense of collecting, there is no
profit at all. Then there are a class
of men so mean as to take the paper
"on time" and never pay for it,
which puts the publisher that much
"hi the hole." This clas of men
are those who, when asked to pay
get mad &vA begin abusing and run
ning down the paper and its editor.
You will know him when you hear
him talking about the paper. The
man who takes his county paper and
pays promptly never abuses it. If
he don't want it any longer he stops
taking it, but always pays up, and
theu lets the mau's business alone
that doesn't concern him.
Owing to the advanced price of
paper and the consequent small
profits moat of the papers are now
requiring all subscriptions to be
paid strictly in advance, let the sub
scriber be millionaire or pauper.
The fact that a man u "good" does
Dot help the paper much unless ho
pays promptly. -
We do not say this to rumple any
man's feelings. It is common sense
(business, pure and simple, and our
business is our living.
"We do not believe there is a sub
scriber ou our books that does not
intend to pay, and a large majority
pay in advanoe or promptly at the
time they promised, but there are
some good men who are careless
about the matter and seem to think
that aa it is a small amount wo do
not need it. To such we say, we do
need it, .and that we would be more
than glad to have it, together with
a renewal, between now and Christ
mas. We have several obligations
to meet between now and that time,
and unless our friends come to our
assistance promptly and pay up, they
will place us in an awkward position,
while if they do coma forward and
pay promptly we will get out all
right and have somethiug left for
our own Christmas besides.
Now will you not please try and
make an effort to help us out this
and next week? The amount you
owe is small, and we know you can
if you make the effort.
AjfTi-iiiPxniALisjr, anti-expansion,
anti-trusts and the currency
will be the leading issues in the next
campaign, and Uryan will be the
leader of tho Democratic hosts.
Such is the opinion of ex-Senator
Palmer, of Illinois. If tho Demo
crats unite and stand together cuc
cess will come as before. Such be
ng the prospect let all Democrats
who regard the triumph of Democ
racy as the only safety of our coun-
