We give place to Mr.. Walkers defence of him
self, because we published the article headed Lit
crazy Imposition" in our paper or the 9th inst.-Bu
we must enter our serious protest against the policy
OF encouraging foreigners and persons of the State
to collect enormous subscriptions for books, which are
also furnished by our own citizens, and whichto say
the least, equal in quality, and cheaper in price.
the spirit Of enterprise in Maine, while at the same
time, 1t carries large out OF the State which
would otherwise be expended among themselves. 1t
is said the subscriptions IN Maine for one work alone,
which is executed in neighoring state, amount TO
1000 d, & that that will be taken from the peck
cts OF our citizens to enrich the manufacturers abroad
This, then is evil in which the whole public are in
ierested

not our concern and If they ctuse get an aricle.a

1t IS only an individual lcss-but when tEis evil is
accompanied with much more serious loss TO the
community the public ought be guarded against it.
