the LABOR and s1pease involved In the prd
paration Of the constantly recurring mepts
meal. The Philadelphia Ledger lately On
notnked )hat IT, loss on its CIRCULATE
alone amounted to $780, 900 in twely
months, which will seem . startling state
mtaA and may be rsceived with more Q
less incredibly BY those not engaged in III
business, and therefore, unacquainted Wit
the mysteries Of newspaper Publishing
The Philadelphia zsIegrapk has some RI
marks upon the aHbject, which the initia
ted everywhere know to be true. II dc
clares that there il not now . single dali
paper printed in this country Of which th
cost 70 the publisher is not greatly in exces
pf ohe price for. which it sells. The que.
ton may be naturally asked, how newsp;
pcrs. then. are supported? The answer Il
that the publisher is only saved from rui
| by the ddUertising source of income. Neitl
er the subscriber, who takes the paper onl
to read it, nor tho advertiser who uses it a
q profitable means Of communication wit
it's readers. separately s~ustains it. Bot
conjuncd Are necessary to that end /; an
while one complains that the price Of tn
paper is too high, and the other that he
charged too much for his advertisement
the publisher is continually struggling I
ADJUST the just claims Of each. In othr
words, he is governed by the same princi
Pile which governs man in every other kin
Of business. He is too wise to impose price
On tho public which they would no6 lon
pay II found y DO exorbi6ant and conpe
tition tnsihis, Is 10 every other sort e bu
sihcss, would soon expose and correct an,
such exorbitance. All things considered
| the public are getting the benefit of u
d ally newspaper press at a very cheap pries
and publishers realize a profit quite made
quate to the service they render, aud tn
labor and caro- they incur.
