THE HIGH PPICE OF PAPER.-The gr

THE HIGH Pp1CE OF PAPER.-The great
advance in the price of paper within the
last six months has put the publishers OF
newspapers to serious reflection how to
counterfeit the evil. 1t is suggested in
the West, among other things, that pub
fishers reduce the size of their papers,
demand advance payment in all cases,
cut off g dead heads" and prune ex-
change lists. The effect of this would
be to reduce the consumption of white
paper and enable the printer to live. 1t
is now stated that rags cannot be had in
sufficient quantity, and the reply to this
is that an increase in the price Of paper
will not supply the deficit. Advance
payments would not remedy host Of
evils attendant on publishers.
