A HINT.-The Dayton Journal very
truthfully and pointedly remarks that there
ought to be no such thing as doing thing
gratuitously in printing Office. Nobody
gets groceries, or dry goods, or medical ad-
vice without paying for them. In news
paper office not a line is set up that does not
cost something for setting. Either the
printer must pay the whole, or the adver-
.iser must pay his share. The only question
to be asked by the publisher is, who is to
pay for the labor? What ground has this
party or individual to require me to pay fol
the promotion of its object?
