Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-12-24
STATE Convention of weekly Pub.


lisherss
The undersigned Publisher of Weekly
Papers in Ohio, believing that the business
interests Of the craftwou be promoted by
adopting Uniform scale OF pric6s1corres-
-p0nding to the hedelnands of the times, re-
spectfully urge the attendance of all the
members OF the press, at Convention to
be held at Columbus,
On Wednesday, The 4th of JdpGy, 1865.
. AS this meeting is designed for the COM
mon benefit, we hope to see every publish
er in the State present.
The great advance in paper, ink, type,
&c, requires an advance. in subscription,
advertising and job work; hence the im-
portance OF concert OF action. This, we
think, can be better accomplished by afree
consultation in the way proposed.
The greatest grievance of the press arises
from the extraordinary rise in paper, now
nearly three times its former price, and
which, it is believed, is the result mainly of
an unjust combination among the manu-
tacturers of paper. 1t will be our duty to
memorialize Congress to repeal the prohib
itory duty on paper. The voice of the en-
tire press Of the State, representing both
the great parties, and the various religious
denominations, whose aggregate weekly
circulation is not less than half million
of sheets, cannot but be respected by the
representatives of the people. The Legis-
lature will be in session, and we do not
doubt, that it will unite with us in de-
mandng the repeal of the 20per cent. duty
alluded to.
Let us, then, one and all, resolve to at
tend the Convention, and take counsel to-
gether. To make its deliberations authori-
tative, all, or large majority, of the week
ly newspapers OF Ohio, should be repre-
sented. N
