has been Justly said that an independent press
rests on frmer basis Tor support than one Of The
contrary character; ard Il has been supposed
difficult 10 break down such press. There il
way in winch II can be done, however AID how,
does the reader think this work can be accom-.
pishcdl BY the telling Of all sorts Of lies con.
corning il and lis odnorl No BY threats I
No. BY getting hneIng for the special pur-
pose Of writing il down! No. BY the mscon-
duel Of unpriheIpled political Postmas,ers' No.
But this is the secret. Lot large number Of its
subscribers conclude, that because The business is
good the editor Is not IN want OF the sums they
seyerally owe let It's friends habitually delay the
lulhlment Of their promises and contracts with
the editor, aad tho most prosperous establish
ment IN tho world must come down at last.
