works, of which company his Lordship is a director,

AN EDITOR AT A. Discourit.—The Protectionists
advertised the other day for an Editor for a Protectionist
Paper, who was to receive, by way of" salary, to begin with,
fifty pounds per annum." It is all very well to offer fifty
pounds a-year to "begin with;" but it is obvious, that to
4. go on" with such a salary would be quite impossible. As
his duties would call upon him to write in favour of dear
corn, he would be actually working to take the bread out of
his own mouth ; for if he succeeded in writing up the quartern
loaf to its former price, he would be obliged to accept half a
loaf instead of
a Whole one. We do not question the suffl-
cieney of the salary, as times go ; for the intellect that would
undertake to advocate Protectionist principles, would, per-
haps, be adequately valued at one pound per week, or fifty
pounds per annum. No one with sufficient sense to qualify
him for a railway
portership, or a light suburban beadledom,
would condescend to the situation of a Protectionist Editor;
and we think it, therefore, unfair of any one to complain of
the salary being inadequate to the article required.-Punch.
