which the puhc printing has bean done since 1852 as
adduoed before the Sonata Comm;tse -
will be Nus perceived that sinoe 1852 there have
been ess than eight persons elected printers
gess and Of these bus three had the requisite budnse
and stesals for the execution Of she work VI neoes
N the work was farned out 70 third parties at reduced
price, varying from 20 to 33H per centum the existing
prices The difference on the entire amount paid by the
public to the prinsrs eleca and the paid BY them
thoss who actually executed the work, may BE- safely,
and even moderately estimated at $3.50 900 the Con-
gressiona printing alone, excluding paper and binding
while the amount paid bonuses for the execution Of the
executive printing may be estimated at least $50
for these $500 600 equivalent services rendered

There IL no doubt that Douglas has "gons

Breckenridge is the only competitor Of Lin

The people are therefore reduced to the
