A PLAIN STATEMENT.
What would yon think of a farmor
who had raised thousand bushels of
wheat, and who should sell if to a
thousand different persons, scattered
all over the State, and agree to wait a
year for his par fiom each of them,
and if one half of them did not pay
at tha end of the year, he h tild give
them another bushel, and agree to
wait another year for hia pay, and
thnssmon rear after rear! How
long weald such a farmer
bankruptcrl Probably not very
much longer than publishers of news
papers who follow such a practice
costs the editor of a newspaper mm e
than doable aa much to supply a
thousand subscribers for one year M
it coats a fanner to raise a thousand
bushels of wheat. The farmer sells
his grain in balk. Newspapers are
sola to a thousand different parsons
liriag in different places, and ha
must wait until tha end of the year
before he can ret Darment. and h
dependa wholly upon the honesty and
the responsibility of the subscribers.
It will not par him to go or send
around ihe country to collect his
dues, as tha amount owing by each
