men who do not take our paper, aud near
from them, 81 am taking too many papers
now" Such men begin wrong. Ihey
potronize distant papers and leave Tue
home press to starve. Suppose TINS prh-
ceple should be carried out, applied 70
every business, would il produce a des'faoie
result! If the principle would produce BAD
results if carried out, then it ought to be
abandoned. Let US test it.
Suppose men refused to patronize their
home me chanics--tailors, cabinet-makers'
blacksmiths-their merchants, traders, &c
1t follows that these men must quit their
trades or remove elsewhere. This would
depopulate our country owns. lsthat de-
sirable! Can any Que tell the difference
in principle between this and the habit oil
sending of for distant papers! But we
are met with-"f can get a paper cheaper
IN the city" Granted. And you might
say the same to the mechanic and trader
''We can buy your wares and goods cheap
err ia the CITY," And 1t might be even car
ried farther. Agricultural products are
cheaperi in the West than here. we admit
the application Of the principle is more d.
ficult in other branches thaninth the newspa-
per line, yet the principle is the same.
The true principle Of economy correct
, political eeonomy--is TO have the consumer
and producer side by S DC. Bring the pig1e'
tie loom, The dnvit, and the printing press
f close together. Keep your money a.

who has any feeling of pride about h'ui'
would dislike to have it SAID, there is no pa
