fishers have been long preparing the way
for their own independence. and when
the "sign was right" they took the man

We Second the Motion.

The following, from the Leavenworth
Conservative, is sound. Printers have
no more right to be exempt from their
share Of the public burdens than men OF
any other calling; but when such burdens
are felt BY every class Of community, and
can be lightened without any detriment to
the public good, it should be done. Eve
rybody reads the papers-cannot do with
ont them-and printing is necessary to
all classes, in public matters or private
business. 1t does seem to us that printers
are taxed exorbitantly, and in every con-
ceivable form. Congress did epdeavor to
make certain exemptions. but the revenue
Commissioner, under some technical con-
struction of the law, has put the screws
down to their very tightest. The result
is. if printers do not want to ruin them
selves financially. they are compelled to
increase their prices; so that readers of
newspapers are put to an additional ex-
pense, business men pay heavier for nec-
cessary work, and Government has to
pay higher prices for printing that can
not be dispensed with, aud which increase,
Of course, has to be made up by additional
taxes upon the people. Wes say. take of
fome of the pressure:-

The present monopoly upon paper il
unbearable; the advance from eight cents
to thirty cents per pound, is beyond rea'
