consideration. There is, perhaps, no State in the
Union which pays SO much for public printing, and
rets so little in return. Not that the printing ism t
done well enough and cheap enough, for legislators,
whether municipal Or State, always make it point to
cut the pay of those by whose aid alone they rise to
posts of honor and distinction down to the starvation
pont or next to it. But it is the matter which is
nrinted-the huge, crude, undgested, useless masses
of matter--tat are obnoxious to public complaint.
EVERYTHING almost, is printed, without much regard
to value or worthlessnes and then orsooth because
the printers bill is necessarily large ardent lovers of
the people pitch into him, forgetting that they alone
are to blame Thousands aud tens Of thousands Of
dollars have been paid for the so-called Revised
Statutes" which, after having been revised three Or
four times at an enormous expense, want reris
