One deplorablo effect Of this throgt-
cutting practice, is the employment Of
boys to the exclusion Of iourneymcn.--
Rat prices for advertising and job work,
compel rat wages for inexperienced boys.
The latter are employed to set type at
from twelve and half 70 twenty cents a
thousand, while mon who have spent the
best years Of their lives in learning the
cart prcscrvativc Of all arts" are unable
10 obtain employment These poor boys,
in turn, after brief period, are turned
adrit, to st0ryo or learn some other oc-
cupGtion, The merchants aud business
men of the country do not require guch
sacrifices. They arc willing To- pay print
ors liborAlly for their labor.
D. Pu6ing. rcprChcusiblo practice
prevails, OF Unfortunately putting every
thing. The influence OF editors is mate
rally lcsscncd, aud the people, believing
the pufls oSe dictated by sinister consid-
|crutions, do not credit what they say
Nobody, for example, credits the state
mcnt, that A sells goods at twenty-five
per cent lees than 3, or, that Mr., SwEg-
! ger buys exclusively for cash, and can,
therefore, undersell everybody else! Mr..
|Flush-in-thc-pan, or the man who sells
for cost, is known In every community, 70
be either a bankrupt or destined 10 a
speedy emigration to California! A mere
notice Of an advertisements sufficient.
6. The Credit System.-Thc greatest
Hilliction of tho country printer, is the
Credit System, II ought to be abandou-
ed at once. There is no class Of men but
printers that extend years credit; and
no business In existence can flourish by
such an extension Of credit. Most mcr.
chants demand cash for thoir goods when
purchased, and they urc right; and none
give moro than three months credit Far
mcrs require cash down for every article
they sell, Paper makers, grown indc-
pendent in consequence Of the great de-
mOnd for paper, sell exclusively for cash.
Typo-loundcrs, grown wise because often
leeced by bunhupt-printcrs, will have
nothing but the "rcody" OF a six month
bank note, with responsible cndorsers.-
Jomneymcn, when thcy are lucky enough
TO be employed, or boys working at half,
rates, must be paid, Tho grocer, the
butcher, the tailor, the merchant, have all
caught the cash infection, and nothing
but American gold or the notes Of specie
paying banks will satisfy them. How is
il possible, then, that the country printer
hodged about about as he IL on all sides
by demands for cash, can maintain the
credit systeml The Daily press, publish

abandoned II; 30 have the eastern an,
I western religious and literary journals
Why, then do the country printers q

Every publisher is compelled to ncglcc
= his business, perhaps one-third Of they
in the business Of running down subscrib
crs. Like Nimrod Of old they ure "might,
hunters" but unlike him they capture bu
little gumo, but generally return from thu
chase with more "kicks than coppcrs."
