Resolutions of the Editorial COnrtn Of Va.
These resolutions are some OF the results OF the
collective wisdom and the bitter experience OF the
Editorial Corps of Virginia that were assembled
al Richmond, on the l1th of January, 1888.
Bv these resolutions we are determined &c
abide. The interests Of the press recommend
and our own interests require, an intieXible ao
herence TO them Several OF the American
presses are driven into the English custom O
cash payments. No class OF men has loS more
BY an abuse OF the credit system than the Editors
of newspapers. The great difficulty consists IN
the transition from one system 10 the other MOI,
wi,nsianding the Resolutions OF the Editorial
Convention, VIC have been induced 70 continue
several old subscribers on the book, who are in
arrears 10 this Office We must change our
course. The name OF every subscriber, who Is
in this prelicament, will positively be stricken
OF from our roll-wi,hout a remittance is recev-
ed at an early day.
"Resorr,d. That il be recommended TO the Edi-
tors Of newspapers, throughout the Common
wealth. to publish al the head OF Their papers
their rates for advertising and that they sric'iy
adhere 10 the same, and that these prices be al
WAYS such as 10 give fair compensation Tor the
labor performed"
