IR,solutions of the Editorial Conrt'n 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
4; Richmond, on the 18th OF January, 1888.
By these resolutions we are determined 10
abide. The interests of the press recommend,
AMI orr own interests require, an ini!exible adj
herence TO them Several of the American
presses are driven into the English custom OF
cash payments No class of men has lost more
by an abuse of the cyedH system, than the Editors
Of newspapers The great difficulty consists in
we transition from one system TO the other. Not
outstanding the Resolutions of the Editorial
Convention, we have been induced TO continue
sereval old subscribers on the book who are IN
arrears 10 this Office. We mus, change our
course. The name of every Subscriber, who is
in this prelicament, will positively be stricken
of from Our roll-without remittance IS recei"-
ed d, an early day.
..R.solrcd. That ii be recommended TO the Edi-
tors of newspapers, throughout, the Common
wealth, to publish at the head of their papers
their rates for advertising and that they strictly
adhere 10 the same, and that these prices be al
ways such as 10 give fair compensation Tor the
labor performed"
