We have neft hcard sofaa' man making
morethan df1.nt living by publication
OF aicountry Fspaper, even it he had
ever such d god business. A case lin
points I'M eactN taifce of ours, who has
been ,prblishliI some Six or seven years,
has had albhAf BUSINESS Of his own town
and Icqnnky, ami q large portion of that
of theAnrroufN |pgs; butwi.h .all this, he
.sseis ii5sot ias ti|'f sPinsbes for money to
EhHy hls Nlsl'e R'eper with, as any other
I p Rlisiler WI 'fhon we are acquainted
u ttEiss sgrses with your. way Of
thinking in politics, subscribe and pay for
Fitand persuade your neighbors Of the Same
mind to "go and do likewise" Do not
tell the editor to send you his paper, with
ont paying. and when you get to owe two
OF three dollars tell Jour friends who speak
of it, that paper is of no account-that i.
will burst up some of these days. The
way under s;lch state Of the case, to keep
a paper from 'tbustiny up'' is for each
subscrirber TO keep The EDITORS b ,oks free
from charges against himself. Once We
had to close, and, Oh posting up, found we
had booked and outstanding some 500
more than we had capital invested. This
thing of applying the credit system to the
newspaper business may be likened to a
farmer selling out his cop, bushel to
che man. The sum each owes for the.
bushrl does not, seem of any account q,
the debtor, but the aggregate of these
bushels may make Or break the poor
deliver in the soil. ... -...
8. If you have father, mother, brother,
sister, or fiend of any kind, residing at
a distnce, and are able, subscribe, pay for
and send them copy.
4. Fyou have any printing you wish
done, do not Jew the editor down to
starvation price, and when he comes to
make purchase of you "spike on the
tariff" tts5 ra.. 10. UH.4 s.H..
5. If you have any advertising or Job
work to be done, take it to the paper of
your political faith, except perhaps, you
may wish to advertise IN more than one pa
per. 90. o.. .g g.. ...
6. Do not run off. to the city to get your
haudbills, labels, cards, DC, printed, be-
tai forsooth you can get reduction of
few cents in price. ''Support your own
IS you would wish to be supported" A
man who always running away from
nome with his business, little deserves the
patronage of the community in which he
lives; aud, rs f;r-as we are concerned, such
will receive ",he COLI. shoulder
7. Ii you have the control of any legal
advertising, send it 10 your political friend |
This kind Of business pays better that any
other. and the more you can send to the !
9litor Of your paper, the better for him and
it. In propotion to the amount of the re-
ceipjs Of a paper, is an editor enabled to
m Ike it useful, amusing and entertaining to
he community in which it is published. |
8. DO not expect much ofa paper, when |
an editor is driven to be his own compost
tor, proof-reader, pressman and "delil,"
and has to run all over town every fore
noon in the vain search for a."quarter" to
buy something for his dinner. ."
8. Donot expect the editor to make hon.
orable mention of you or your business
every lew weeks, for nothing. The space
N newspaper, and Il man. tune. are worth
something. and every notice comes back to
the drawer of the recipient in dollars and
cents. An editor should not be allowed |
% go hungry, barebacked or barefooted.
They "eat, drink AMI wear, just like other
people" $685. ...t
~. If the editor owes you shilling,
10 not chase him from "rosy morn 10
balmy ere'' for it, and when you happen to
get the balance on the other side, "cut the
gentleman an'sacquaintance."
u. Finally, my brethren" ifyou wish
to properly sustain your paper, to live the
balance Of your days in peace with God
and man, and occupy seat in Paradise
after death. practice the Golden Rule
"Do unto others as you would wish that
they would do unto YOU" i'll similar cir
