to the ublic, the present furnishing con-

has rapidly progressed IN the pubic est 0.
nation. :,

he is aided in that department by INF.
Sweetsee, gentleman in high estimation
as professor Under the management OF
these gentlemen the school has now 80
boys; and very many applications nave al
ready been made for entrance ana noaro.
Heretofore portion of the boys have been
compelled to board at the neIghborlng hou
ses at too great distance from the school;
the trustees are now making arrangements
which will enable fifty boys more to be ac-
commodated Immediately at the school; so
that at all times the Principal will be ena-
bled to exercise general suprcintendance
over their moral department to the coIruP'-

Iage have but few temptations)' The

To the Printers of the United
States.


CENTLEMEN: In presenting list OF
II new prices of types, some exPiana-
tory remarks may be useful. The former
prices were fixed during period in which
The raw materials were dear, and not easl-
.ly to be procured, and il is presumed that
they had some claim to be considered mo-
derate, as in 1912 type were more than )
per cent lower in Philadelphia than IN
London and no advance was made on
those prices during the late war, although
existing circumstances would nave uslhlei
the measure. 1t was considered that all
advance would be an actual loss to the
printers, as the competition in the printing
business had, before that period arrived at
such point, that the public were supplied
with printing at nearly the minimum and
also, that it was probable the price OF types
would continue sometime after the return
OF peace, and recomperse for any advan-
tage that was given up. This has taken
place.
For some time past, types have been
lowered in value but not IN price. They
have been sold on long and frequently vi
certain credit, which produces to the sell
Ter all the effects of reduction OF price,
whilst to the printer who pays. it is COM
paratively of little benefit. All the advan-
tages are in favor OF those who promise,
but do not perform, as, in truth, they get
types for nothing, and the solvent printers
pay for them. Another objection TO this
mode OF reducing price is, that it absorbs
the sellers funds, and, no matter how in
dustrious or frugal he may be, subjects him
to ri the inconvenience of poverty.
Men who possess talents, economy, in
dustry and honor, will sometimes lack mo-
ney. The characters who have just claims
to those attributes will rarely be at loss
Tor friends, and will enter on business with
a more favorable prospect of success, when
assisted by moderate, than by an extend
Ell credit, which is equally within the reach
of rival, who, with an ardent disposition
for speculation and adventure, may have
but doubtful claims To reputation and pru-
ience.
In order to leave no ground for COM
plant, it is to he understood that all 2ur.
chasers, since the LIST OF April, who conf
ply with the new ,erms, will be entitled to
benefit oy The new prices.
Presuning on the long intimacy which
has subslsted between you, gentlemen, and
this establishment, request you will give
this an insertion III your papers.
Yours, respectfully,
JAMES DONALDSON.

The Bostcn Patriot in noticing the re-
ports INTERPOLATION, respecting extensive
grants Of land in Florida, said to have
been made by the Spanish authorities,
within the last year, expresses doubts
whether these grants may not have been
made 10 Engiqnd-We presume that,
where privileges were for sale, to the
highest bidder, not to the greatest favo-
rite, the country of the purchaser was
not matter of inquiry SO much as his
ability to pay for what he was about to
buy. If we are not mistaken, those who
have engaged most deeply in the delu-
sive speculations--for such they will in
falibly turn out to be-are American
citizens. It is said, for example, that
Mr.. r. ". Meade, whose detention in
Spanish prison excited so much the
sympathies of his fellow citizens, has be-
come the purchaser of grant of land
large enough Of itself for province,
but of which probably he will not in the
end establish title to single acre
We have also heard that Mr.. Richard
Roynal Keene, with whose name some
of our readers are familiar, has also
been purchasing these grants, &c. We
much question whether any subjects have
engaged in these speculations, unless it
be one or two of the mercantile houses
at Pensacola and St. Augustine.

PROM THE MISSOURI GAZETTE.
Mr.. CHABLEss,

81 Louis, July 10, 1919
Mr.. CHAHLEss,
&r-Sometime since advertised premium
OF l per ct. for Bank of Missouri bills | after
wards thought proper to withdraw that offer,
being fully convinced the Bank had no charter:
at the same time laying before the public the
documents on which this conviction was found
ed. The editor ofthe st. Louis Enquirer came
out violently against me for putting an adyer-
usenent IN his immaculate paper, thereby
practising deception on him-and On the
public"
AS for practising deception on the editor OF
newspaper by offering premium for bank
notes, the assertion is too obviously ridiculous
to be noticed. As to deception on the pub
lie, | want to know wherein deception has
been practised by the withdrawal Of my offer
OF per ct. when it is notorious fact, that il
any person comes in on the faith OF my adlyer-
tisement, he viii not be disappointed; for as
long as the Bank Of Missouri redeems It's notes
III specie, 2 per ct. can be procured. When
the piece IN question appeared in the Enquirer
the impressions it made on my mind were any
| other than those OF anger, or irritation--thc
only feeling it excited was that Of the most un-
qualified contempt for the writer---for well
knew his motives. II was not that he thought
Tic ColulhiiS VI HIS PUT paper were defileu BY
the Insertion OF my adYertsement-nor was 1t
an unVlllingness to practise deception On the
public, for at this moment per ct. premium
can be obtalnedtor Mssouribills; conseq uent-
| ly no person can be deceived by coming on the
faith OF my advertisement with Missouri paper.
| No, Sir Col. Benton was not actuatcd BY
either of those feelings which he has made
such parade about-that gentlelHan's &C
count with the bank in question, would very
easily develop the mystery. He thought, and
no doubt right, that by stepping forward as the
champion OF the unchartered Bank OF Missouri,
with its hundred and fifty thousand dollars ca
ptal, he might get an additional discount.
should not have intruded myself on the
public, or taken any notice of the vile SANDER
III the Enquirer, had that SANDER been confined
to this territory, andthe columns of that paper
but when find this contemplate calunny ex-
tracted into several Of the western papers, |
feel it a duty due my character to drag its au-
thor before the public, who, no doubt, must
see Col Benton, in this instance, in no other
point OF view, than as the hireling tool of the
| Missouri Bank.
| RiCH'D. r. VENABLES.
| P.S. If mercantile views are to be submitted
to the tribunal OF a newspaper editor, it will be
admitted that all commercial enterprise and
speculation must be at an end. X. v.
