.sg The Printing Question.

This lisa very great question indeed.
One which engrosses even the mighty
mind Of that towering genius, the Edi-
itor of the Tfnes. This simple fact,
should make it an extraordinary good
question for a little clap-trap by the
Know othing organ of Ashland Coun-
ty. The printing done for the County
is always an eye-Eore to those who are
not so fortunate as to get it. We have
done it heretofore, wholly; hereafter,
we expect to do but a portion of it
The whole amount of printing done for
the County since we have had charge of
the Union-ahout one year and a half
amounts to the awful sum of between
four and five hundred d dollars, a part of
which the law regulates the price. We
hare not charged over the regular price
paid. in every county in, Ohio, and e1-
aetly the same Mr., KNAFp charged.-
Then why this excitement about the
printing at this late day? Simply be-
cause the Wing Office of this place is
hungry to do some of it. and because it
has kept its nose out of other peoples
business about as long as they think
they car. stand it. The printing bust
ness is frequently cursed with what
printers call rats" men who are mere
Adventures in it. This is ther citation the
proprietOrs of the Times sustaips to the
printing business, No printer will Jew
down another, let alone go and beg
work which properly belongs to US, and
then because they do not get it, attack
the Auditor personally, and threaten
to almost extermiuate him through the
columns of the Times. The day upon

peared we passed a citizen, who, after
having read the Times, thus solilo-

We believe We have never interfcred
with the. Times Office to get any print
ing from them. What we have received
has been voluntarily given US, for which
ne are thankful Neither have we
made any false representations about
thsm not being able to do good work,
which has been frequently done about
US. When we are compelled to resort
to such means to get business, we will
close our doors. Politically, we believe
TO the " victors belong the spoils, " con-
s~eqdently We will neither solicit nor de-
nsnd the printing, which viii be ne
cessary to be done By the Treasurer or
the Clerk. We expected when they
were elected it would be given to the
other Office Let them have it, and at
the regular prices, we would scorn to
make them 60 it for one cent less.

great humbug, which serves a certain
