THE PRINTER. u The printer is one of the class of public men that probably exercises greater influence for good or evil, than any other, not even except.ng the clergy, or those of the legal profession. The Dres is the great engine of civilization, and the printeris not only its engineer, but he is its life and oul, and the mind that gives us intelligence and influence. Western Citizen. We have frequently been tempted to speak ol the duties, responsibilities, and of the qualifica tions of the printer ; and in the above text we pro ceed to remark I The Printer has the power of doing more o-ood than any other man. Through his hands every book, essay, communication and letter that is wiven to the public must pass. He, therefore, : first mndeacouainted with every"new ihrory in philosophy, discovery in science, production of literature, and with every new thought that is written. He has thus the means of becoming a very intelligent man, and as his business stands between the author and the public, he is not on ly the medium of communication, but his intelli gence mak'-s him the only founder of publications That are to enlighten the people; and very often does he become the able author andeditor. It is estimated that there are 2000 serial puhlications in the United States; at least the proprii torship of 1800 of these is in the hands of professional printers. All country papers are owned by and mainly edited by printers, and at least two-thirds of all citv publications are owned and conducted in the same way. Thus we see taat the printer not only sets the typo, but actually writes or selects most ol tne matter i nat amuses ana instructs our vast population. How great then is the power he wields 1 . 2. But not only is he powerful in this, but the very manner in which he shall execute this art the mechanics of printing are powerfully influen tial for good when accompanied with that accuracy ana Deauiy which iiuriiiciiwc tun luipnii iu im.ui. There is a captivating spirit in beauty, and no where can beauty be more charmingly impressed than in the typographical art A book sent out by a miserable workman, lacking all the excel lencies of the art, is repulsive in all its pages, and the reader opens it with a disrelish of its contents. But on the other hand a book of clear, plain let ter, and of true artistic work, possesses an attrac tive appearance on every page, and multitudes who are not inclined to read are led to admire its beauty and then to overcome that intellectual dull ttess which has them in ignorance. Thus we see that every thing connected with the printing art can be made powerfully instrumental for pub lic improvement 3. But more than this : Multitudes write brilliant thoughts, who are unable to punctuate properly, or even express themselves in the style best calculated to give force to their thoughts; and those who can write accurately, make many mis takes when in haste. Now the printer, if he be as he should be, stands at his case and with the crudely written manuscript before him, can put it into such a form as will most agreeably surprise the author, and make him appear as a scholar as Vvell as a philosopher. The printer can thus send out what may electrify the reader, while it would fall "stillborn," or perhaps excite disgust and rid icule if published as written. The printer who is truly what he should be, is much like the repor ters of speeches in congress, who, it is well known, by their skill in writing, make the crudest efforts appear the most polished, and send out speeches that operate powerfully upon the public, which, if printed as delivered, would only biing the orator into contempt. What, then, must be done to elevate and dignify the Art of Printing, and enable printers to wield the power they possess? On this branch of our inquiry we make the following suggestions: 1. The printer must be well paid. . In this gol den agu, when every man must either " dig " for himself or speculate out of others, there must be a good compensation to secure the best lalent ThU talent is required in printing to make it tell the most powerfully upon the public. 2. The business of the printer is confining and injurious to health. We wish we had the bill of mortality among printers, that others might see how Tata! this business is when sedulously pursued They must, therefore, be so paid that they need not sacrince mcmseives, ana to tnis ena we ap plaua their attempts to raise their wages.' 3. The public should be p-enerous to the prin ter, because the best interests of the' people are id nis nanas. l nose who patronize him, should pay nun promptly and with a free gooa will; Tttey should no more expect to get the productions of nis art wunout promnt and liberal payment, than tojget the sustenance of their physical life without a just cquivaieoc But manv underrate the win ter's products ;. they look upori them as things that can, be dispensed with, and .are. often rnore inclin- ea to hoard their dimes for the;gratification of . the miser's spirit, than to purchase that which will give them some character ; in the World and' in crease their happiness. Such pdrsons' know that ihey have, bodies like ll other animals, but ihey.de not often think : theyhave;minda which wo make them great and perhaps the truth js y have not, for that is a small spirit that has "yUpm.uch reSard for the mind as the body. . . Pri"iers themselves should attempt to elavate tneir profession. By this ' we mean, that' they should cultivate that moral purity which scorns the manners of the loafer, and drive from their crafi allihose who may be found degrading it by immoral publications. " ' - . - . Any printer who sets a type conveying on un holy thought and calculated to degrade the reader, should be marked by the profession and banished from the craft. ; They should also bring their in fluence to bnr upon alt the publishing houses so as to forbid the employment of such as are not qualified to do honor to the Art. To do this they must combine all the really meritorious, and swear that no employer who degrades the art, by immo ral publications or by employing incompetent hand?, shall have their services on any terms. Lt the wages be raised so that inte lligent and skillful printers can afford to remain in the profession, and these can bring such an influence to hear as will soon make the art what it should be, the om nipotent power of the world. Intelligence, virtue, and every improvement would thus be rapidy ad vanced. Nonpareil and Herald Cincinnati.) BOOT AND SHOE STORE. - P2L O. L.
