Vermont telegraph. [volume] (Brandon [Vt.]) 1828-1843, 1839-07-31

paper published IN this State whose adver-
generally filling 2 pages of the 4, /
and sometimes even more than this-mani- |
testify meets the whole outgoes of the estab- |
lishment. 1t does not cost the publisher of |
that paper more than one-half, at most, to
set the types for his paper, that it does me
for the Telegraph; while he gets six times
as much for advertising. Why then should
it be thought strange that the Telegraph,
which affords twice the amount of reading
matter, should be held one-fourth higher?-
saying nothing about the quality or char
acter of the reading matter, one way or the
other.
now ask brethren, and friends of the
Telegraph, if any of them will withhold

Let ii be borne in mind that the change
will affect only those aDho hare hitherto had
the paper at 81 so, and who are Of course
now the better able TO pay for it at its fair
value. The large class who have hereto
fore paid 80 each, will continue to receive
theirs precisely as before. I ask, say, who
J will discontinue the Telegraph, because
they are required to pay fair price for it?

S not believe it. will not believe that any
y considerable number of those who have
5 read the Telegraph for any length of time,
will place so low an estimate on such a
paper as even the Telegraph is-although
u say it myself-as to dispense with il fol
/ such consideration.
