TIE VT. TRIsuHE AND ADVANCE PAY System
Every Newspaper publisher in Vermeat owes
q card Of thanks TO z. K. Psng5arn, ct the VI.
Tribune, for his courage and decision in being
the first to adopt unqaaGiedly, the advance pay
system for his paper. from thu commencement
of tho coming yoar. 1t is the right system and
the only one We can long liyo by; and thanks
to our contemporary for leading the way in this
State. The people Of Vermont send cut of the
state each year, probably, $4,000 in advance
pay for foreign papers, Of which sum, accord
ing to the best estimate we can make, more than
five thousand dollars are sent of for the N. Y.
Tribune alone. And all this is done voluntari-
ly, while the home printers are left, even by the
very men often, who thus send off their cash,
to whistle for their pay! Who is it that says
charity begins at homel We'll we can't recol-
lect now; but no matter he was an arrant liar,
let him be whoever he may, at least, as far as
Vermont printers are concerned.
