HOW TO SUSTAIN YOUR LOCAL
PAPER
Lay aside your fears that the
Editor will get rich faster than his
neighbors. We have seldom heard
of man making more than decent
living by publishing a country news
paper, even ifhe had ever such agood
business, and nine times out of ten is
in a tight pinch for money to buy his
wite paper with.
2.--If the paper agrees with your
way of thinking, subscribe for it, and
pay for it, and persuade your neighbor
of the same mind to 60 aud "do like
WISE" And if the paper happens to
disagree with your views in some re-
spects, don't fly into a passion and
blame the editor without mercy, fail
ing to award him praise where he re-
ally deserves it. And do not tell him
to send his paper to you until you get
to owe him two or three dollars, and
then, when your friends speak of it.
say that it is no account, and will
"burst up" one of these days. The
way, under such state of the case,
to keep a paper from bursting up" is
for each subscriber to keep the Edi-
tors books free from all charges
against himself. This thing Of apply
ing the credit system to the newspa-
per business may be likened to far
mer selling out his crop by a bushel to
a man. The sum each owes for the
,bushel does not seem Of much mpor-
tance to the debtor, but the aggregate
Of these bushels may make or break
the poor dealer in the soil. So, these
dollars scattered here and there, an
editor often looks to as the means to
liquidatc an expense of thousands per
annum.

DouoLAs AND JoNKs.--The Little Giant OF

Not one word of this mighty warfare, not
single dispatch from the seat OF war, not a
bulletin from the battle feld has appeared in
the Locofoco papers Of Iowa. The hostili
ties between Morrissey and Heenan were duly
chronicled, but Douglas and Jones are no,
permitted to ventilate their wrath through
the papers on this side OF the great father Of
waters.
Why 10 il that the masses OF The party are
