THE CASH SYSTEM FOR
NEWSPAPERS.


Oflate, great efforts have been made,
and iudicio,lsiy so, to bring about entirely
lie cash system for newspapers. Ii is we'll
known that in England tho cash system,
that is payments in advance in oil cases, is
the one which has always hccn pursued.
There can be no Doubt in the minds of
NIL business men, that this mode Of Conduct
ing tho financial department Of newspapers
4 in America would be the best, both for pub
fishers and readers, in the long run; and
the sooner it is adopted, the more satisfac-
tory will be the relations between them.
1t is an undoubted truth, that applies to
the whole press Of any country, that no pa
per can be sustained properly, unless there
is the most exact promptness on behalf OF ITS
subscribers in the payment OF their part OF
the contract. The reader is rs much 1t not
more interested in not neglecting to forward
his payments in advance, as the publisher
can be in their receipt; for il is certain, that
unless the establishment have ample means
st all times at its command. there can be no
liberality Of expenditures to keep up its va
rious departments with that degree of inter-
est which they should ever exhibit, nor any
independence in its general supervision.
Tho cash system secures all the advan-
tages to readers which flow from good and
independent paper; and no business man
will need argument to see the necessity OF
its adoption. 1t is not that the publisher is
afraid or unwilling to trust a subscriber for a
years subscription-but tho principle is that
il is contrary to the best interest of the rea-
der himself to be so trusted.
Every honest man who takes paper, in
tends to pay for it. He knows that he gets
reading matter for the subscription price,
which is worth hundreds of dollars to his
family is beyond price. Well was it
said by one Of the most distinguished judi
ges of our country-"You have only to enter
family to know whether or not they are in
the weekly receipt of good newspaper
If they are, you will find every member in
telligent upon all important occurrences in
the four quarters of the world; but if they
do not receive newspaper regularly, you
will find them ignorant upon events even of
their own State-unable to converse on the
most common topics with any accuracy of
knowledge. The power Of this engine, in
the moral and intellectual universe, is incon-
ceivable; and it should be supported with
promptness and liberality by those who look
well TO the weIl-being ofhuman society"
Let all readers think Of these plain truths
as their importance demands; and sure we
are that all straightforward business minds
will be the first to aid by prompt advances,
to bring about the cash system for newspa
pers. Let our public journals speak out
more plainly on this subject. Where bu-
slness is so scattered as is that Of newspa-
per publishing, no sensible man will, when
he looks on the matter Alright, feel willing to
be indebted for the small sum, for which he
receives to himself and his family through
out the year, S6ch rich and varied treasure
as the columns of a good newspaper must
constantly impart.
