Thsundsrsignsd Puhlishsrs of Weekly
Papers in Ohio, believing that the basi-
n sss in terests Of the craft would be pro-
meted by adopting uniform scale of
prices, corresponding to the demands of
the times, respectfully urge the attendancsI
of all the members Of the press, at a
to be held at Cclumbus,sen
Wednesday, the 4tb of January, 1860.
- As this meeting is designed fer the csH-
mon benefit, we hope to see every pub
Usher in the State present.
The great advance in paper, ink, type,
&C., requires an advance IN subscription,
advertising and job work; hence the i'm
pertance Of concert of action. This, we
think. can be better accomplished by
free consultation in the way proposed.
The greatest grievance eff the press
arises frem the extraordinary rise IN pa
per, new nearly three times Its former
price, and whion, it is believed, 10 the re-
suit mainly Of an unjust com bination
among the manufacturers of paper. 1t
will be our duty to memerialize Congress
to repeal the prshibitery duty on paper.
The Voice of the entire press of the State,
representing both the great parties, and
the various religious Determinations, whose
aggregate weekly circulation is net less
than half million of sheets, eannat
but be respected by the representatives OF
the people. The Legislature will be in
session, and We de ret doubt, that it will
unite with us in demanding the repeal of
the 20 per cont. duty alluded to.
Let as, then, eae and all, resolve to
attsad the Cenventisn, and take counsel
together. Ts make its deliberations au-
thsritstiye, all, or large majority, Of the
weekly newspapers Of Ohio, Should be
represented.
