The rea son given for the step is that the com munity does not show a proper ap preciation of the enterprise. This has been the reason for the suspension of every daily that has ever been started in Greensboro and then ceased to be. There was no lack of enterprise on the part of the Daily Patriot, and strange ly enough, it was its enterprise and its completeness as a newspaper that made its suspension necessary. These things are not easily understood, but they are true nevertheless. ' One of the chief difficulties in the way of newspaper is the lack of information among the masses as to the cost of publishing newspapers, to which may be added ah underrating of the ser vice rendered by the newspaper to the community in which h is published. But if we had not been an interested party, and had it not been out of keep ing with our more quiet way of doing things, we would have said at least we might have said, at the time the Daily Patriot was ta!ked4of "Here is the daily Workman, that for . over seven jrears has held on its way in the face of all manner of discouragement, and has been a medium of dailf com munication after every other daily that the town ever had had suspended and gone out of existence. If yon want a larger paper, it will be much easier to make such an one out of the Worxuan tha)i to attempt it Ty new anJ KpwatetetBpse, forte the former case you have no competitor, while in the second case you do." We "say, this is what we might haye said. , It is exactly what we thought. When two dailies are running at the same time id any town of the sue of Greensboro, if the contest is at alii equal the consequence is that both will sicken and die for lack of nourish ment Hail the 'Workman enlarged to a 6 column 'paper at the time the daily Patriot began, which many urged it ought to do, then we should have had the conditions of the faikre of both, and then we should have had the chaotic state again from two pa pers to no paper. . ' ; "r , However much the Daily Workman lacked of being what the people wanted. and of what its publisher wanted it to be, there was enough of common jus tice in the people of Greensboro not to turn a cold shoulder to the paper which had staid by them in seasons of discouragement and when the tovn was in its struggle to get the various improvements which . it -now has, There:was also an impression, received from past observation, that the Work man' had certain staying qualities which it might be good policy to encourage, These 'are some of the facts of which it seems necessary to remind our read ers at this time. We have always felt that we could not afford to begin an enterprise in a daily newspaper ' and then, unless it was utterly unavoidable. let it g6 down, believing that it wbuld do more or less damage to the reputa tionofourcity. , , , If it should be said that the Daily Workman has not been sufficiently enterprising, our reply is that it has reflected all the enterprise that its pa tronage would justify; and the publish er who attempts more is a bad finan cier and unjust to himself. We have said all the lule, and we i ay it f till, If the city it wi'ling to ma!:e j the Daily Workman larger and bet ter, u will be very gartifylng to us to ha ve it so. And it ought be so. On aerount of the extrcmery economical views of this community the Daily Workman has been forced to be cor respondingly economical1-. ' We have no doubt ihaiin some cases one copy of the paper itrves for at least a dozen or twenty Afferent per sons a paper that costi'less than a cent a day I V On the other hand you find one gentleman who pays for two copies of the paper, one for his store, the other for his family at home. , Another interesting uct ia, that al. though the price of advertising is still much lower than in ant city in the State, it is twice as highlhere now as it was in 1883. - ; , If our view is the cdrrA-t one, vix, that the best poicy is to knprove what we aTready have in l dailj Mwspaper, and make its support to (Some from its patronage, then let our merchants and others show their interest in the mat ter, as some have always; done from the beginning. 't ' ; '., We nave had the matter of . rru&'ng improvements in the Workman, stead ily in view from the beginuing, but we do not intend to outrun the public de mand for these improvements. .That would not be business like. To sum it all up, we ate in a sort of wav as we were over seven years aeo. with a very fair prospect lnt uc com munity will undertand bur purpose and be a little more libe.M in its pa tronage, The. atate-ihWifspeuM; If .Charles A. Dana, of the New York f Sun, were to move his big office, and all his printing machinery to Greens boro, and start to publish the Daily Sun here, there would be numbers of people who wouldn't believe that he was going to stay. But the same peo pie would find no difficulty , in believ ing that the Daily Workman would stay. That's curious. As a matter of fact, when ' the New York Sun started it was but little over half the size the Workman is, but like all safe enterprises it began small and grew. it tooic root wnen lr was smaii and as it grew upward it grew down- wardsv and now it is ari tnstiution with' in itself. This is a good lesson on the Subject of starting. J If we had the ear of all the people and did not fear the suspicion of be ing actuated by self interest, we would say this: Help the Daily Workman . to be come such a paper as you think the town needs. - Help it by such an ad vertising and subscription patronage as will enable it to put on better clothes, and then, if need be,to increase tts'size. This could be done , without a ; - damaceto anv interest, and we are O. 7 ' almost' persuaded that,it will be. ; FOR SPEAKER. , ; Smineer of Illinois and Crisp of Georgia are most prominent of the men mentioned to succeed Capt.
