STATISTICS.
The money expended upon the
paper, during three years, including
papes, ink, Office rent, firing, wages
paid 70 hired hands $1,000
Cash received during three years
including subscriptions, advertise
ments, and job work $156O
Thus you will see that there has
not been one cent made by oprself
or our sonnet one cent for three
years. Up to this hour we lave Ia,
bored and toiIed and suffered in the
cause of Pre5le Democracy without
fee or reward. Now it will not be
denied by auy reasonable or imprr.
tial man that OR own humble la,
bors, and our sons labors ought to
be worth ten dollars a week-that
is to say for both of us, and the sum
of ten dollars u week would amount
in three years to $1,569. Now ins.
tead Of receiving as we ought to
have received the above paltry su4
for our labors, during three years,
we have had TO find and expepd opt
of our own POCKET to sustain and
keep Up the Press and support our
selves, over one thousand dollars,
to US all actual loss of over
twenty-five hundred dollars. Verify
we have made q fortune oat Of the
Eaton Dem Jcratic Press.
There is now due to us between
seven and eight hundred dollars
that is to say, over $500 Tor legal
advertisement and between 5000
and $500 for the paper. We look
for the money DUE for the legal ad
vcrtiscments, but God help the man
who depends upon the bulk of The
dishonest and dishonorable fellows
who owe us fer their ppp'r. One
thing is very clear, and that is, that
their time lie up, and We sincerely
hope that they may live until they
meet with another simpletop as
willing to work for nothing in their
vineyard of wild grapes as we have
been. We leave the law to take its
course with the lawless, but the re.
solutely lawless cannot always be
reached by the law, There is how.
ever a time approaching, when the
Iawless, the disobedient, the dishol
nest and unjust will receive their
just doom ct the hands of o right
eous God.
LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
We shall continue to publish Q
half sheet until the legal advertise
ments shall have been legally pub.
Iished-but not a paper shall g. out
of our once to any NAH, whether
rich or poor, until paid for in adj
vance, The New York Day Book
and other Eastern papers have been
compelled to adopt the Sa4a, plan.
After this issue we shall charge but
twenty-five cents for the paper till
after the Presidential ELECTION.
STUBBORN FACTS.
That we should take a firm stand
and thus try to protect ouSself and
son from the greedy grasp of upr
reasonable men, is q step neither
new nor strange. We have had 10
send to England three times since
we settled in Eaton for money to
sustain the Democratic Press, and
we have sustained it to this hour,
but as patience like every other virr
tue, has its limits, we conclude that
we have put stock enough in the
paper, and decline to take another
share. An old and faithful Demon
crat said to US the other day, ip onE
Office, that be did not know what
to make Of the Preble County De-
mocrats, "thsy talk we'll, but they
don't support their principles said
the man Of sevpty, and they will
ruin any nan who takes In hand tG
conduct their paper Our PFeae
cessor was taken abont the coqRty
in a buggy, and speeches were maades
