Wisconsin tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1847-1854, 1853-01-27

ASIDE from Ills amount there are very many
Incidental expenses Of which we Will not speak
at this time
From this we v15il deduct $500 as pay received
on subscription. which al printers viii see IS
high percentage on the credit system, which viii
leave the cost %. publishing a paper one year,
over and above the amount received, S774!
Allowing one a1l. & Il colums) to be devoted
10 advertising, and Tie average price per column
yearly 10 be So. ae get 500 per year for adyer-
iisiug-Ieavirr :ae expenses yet S74 above the E.
ceiP,s, 20 which r.e publishers may add their own
time and the wear and tear Of materials, as a DO
mas, paid for the privilege Of publishing news
paper. But says one, how do you live if such a
sta,emen, be tguea We answer, we live and bare
II live by having connected with our establishment
a very good sob Office" and without the aid Of
such temperament, no nan could live in this
/ place, at the Printing business.
But says anotae-, now d. those publishers live
in the eastern cities, who nave no advertisements
at all in their papers, and afford them at 5 per
year. Well, we VIII answer by telling how we
could live in the same wa.-by having from ten
TO fifteen taousafs3 subscribers To prin, paper
without any ad.c.s.-ing would COS, us about dou-
BE whatit does II present say $500. Now at
5 year $500 ceh paying subscribers would
pay tins expense But allowing these city papers
bat 5000 subscr.aess, they get $4,000 above cost.
/ less cost Of paper and ink
The principal expense, in publishing News
paper Is for type setting, and IT costs the same to
SCI the type for one hundred as for twenty thou
sand. The farmer who raises thirty bushels Of
wheat from an acre with The same labor can Of
course make more money by selling it at seventy
( tive cents bu>LeJ, than the one who raises but
/ fifteen bushels up5. an acre would make By sell
( ing at one dollar bushel. So with publishing
4 Newspaper Had we five thousand paying sub
I scribers we could make more money without the
aiG OF advertisements. than we can with but FIVE
hundred, even if our paper was filed with adver-
( t.sements.
The advertisements in "a Newspaper are . fair
index to the business of the place where II Is
/ published. They tsnd far more 10 the prosperity
of the advertiser and town, than 10 the printer.
ana we hope none OF our subscribers will he so
uugenerous as 70 desire less portion Of The Tr5-
uas devoted to that sind o. information Hereaf-
Ter the Tribune viii cost bat s. year but no one
