II Our neighbor of the Manhattan lndepen
dent IS getting exceedingly obliging- We have
no particular objection TO his running himself,
but enter our protest against his pulling the
business down with him. He has all along been
doing transient advertising for just half what it
is worth, and now asks that stray notices, and
such like, be sent him.. and he win insert them
free. Some folks may think it none of our bust
ness how he charges, but we think it is when
people dispute our bills referring us to Manhat-
tan We want no hawking or jewing in the
craft. Among all honorable printers it is woe to
the man who works for less thap the established
scale. Come, neighbor, put your prices up to a
living rate-you1l bust it you don't.
