A MASSACHUSETTS paper has IN arti.
ticle entitled, ~"Sponging on the
Printer" and peculiarly adapted to
this parallel and longitude, which we
republish as a bit of our feelings. II
says: ga great many societies, asso-
Citations, and people generally, have
queer notions about printers. They
think wo can puff and publish for moth
ing. Let US give you on instance: A
man is dssirous Of advertising, and
ALTERS making q contract for half n
dozen lines, and beating US down to
half price, no wants to know If we
can't throw in an editorial puff, which
in itself is worth moro than the adver-
tisement. Would it not be rs sensible
to ask a grocer to throw in q pound of
coffee because you had bought a pound
of tea? People forget that ink and
paper cost money, and they seem as
tonishsd il we ask pay for an obituary
notice, a card of thanks, n tribute OF
respect, or q personal communication,
or anything that only interests a few
persons and not the general reader.
They forget it is the printers ink that
makes nine.tenths of their immense
fortune; they forget that it takes
money to pay compositors, to buy ink,
type aud paper; and lastly they forget
even to thank you for working for
nothing, by gratuitously putting their
business or serving the public. Did
you ever hear anybody, or any corpora
lion thanking nm editor for what he has
done? Guess not"

GorSc TO YosEMrrE.-Miss Dickinson
expects to be absent from the city for
several weeks, to visit Yosemite, the
Big Trees and other prominent places
in tho State. She will again lecture in
the city. We speak in behalf of a very
large class of the community in sugges-
ting, that before she concludes her lee
lures in San Francisco, tho price OF
admission should be reduced. Platt's
Hall has been crowded it is true, each
night, at ST per ticket /; but there are
thousands in the city who do not feel
able to pay that price. Miss Dickenson's
biographer says of her: "She had a
passion for Grating and when Curtis,
Phillips or Beecher lectured in Philadel-
phia, she would perform any service to
get money enough to go. On one occa-
sion she scrubbed q sidewalk for twenty
five cents, 10 hear Wendell Phillips lee
ture on The Lost Arts.'" There are
thousands of people in California who
are now as anxious to hear her, rs she
ever was 10 hear Phillips, who cannot
afford 10 pay more than half the price
now charged. It is better for the in
tcrest of tho community that three
thousand persons should listen to n
good lecture at fifty cents than half that
number at double the prices. T..

ka, San Francisco, Sacramento, Sal
Lake, Denver, Omaha, and the Terri
tories" It strikes us that this "pass'
very much rssembled the "Gold Bug y
in Edgar A. Poe's tale written about
thirty years ago. Wonder whether the
commercial party" will tarry in the
State of Nevada long enough to visit
the great Comstock, Lake Tahoe, our
State Capital, or the White Pine coun-
try? Their Z" pass seems figh,y.

THE FINANCES OF THE UNITED
STATES.

II In sometimes amusing to hear the
incredibly expressed by souio individ-
uals as to the power ofthe United States
to meet the debt Of tho republic-to
bear the strain of it, and pay the inter-
est of it. Such persons may digest at
their leisure one curious fact, viz I: that
the value Of the horses alone existing in
the Uuited States is officially computed
at So, 800, 600, 900. This estimate seems
a high one, but we give it as We find it.
The value Of fve-eighths Of the Amer
lean horses is estimated at from $50 to
to 5000 each, and that Of the remaining
5000, 900 horses at $500 to $4,000 each.
Fabulous sums are sometimes paid in
this country for "trO,tcrs," while the
public debt of every description only
amounted at the commencement Of May,
1869, to Sc, 5ss, Sal ,3s2. And to carry
the joks-for as such We intend it-a
little further, we may remark that while
the American public debt is now sta
tionary, aud even declining, the number
of horses in the United States is con-
stantly increasing. How rapid the rate
of increase is will be seen when we
state that while there were 4,l2s,2 s5
horses on tho soil of tho United States
in 1850, the corresponding total for 1860
was 6,324,O56. The unhappy civil war
which produced the debt doubtless
caused much havoc among the American
horse.Aesh, until it is estimated that tho
repablic has now horses to tho amount
of at least 5000, 500.
But, after all, it is men and not horses
who meet the strain Of a national debt,
and here we find the United States with
a population Of $1,000, 900 in round
figures. Taking the amount Of the
American debt at 81, $50, oOo, 900, this
would give an average Indebtedness Of
$65 per head, while the corresponding
Indebtedness Of the British is about
$3.50 per head, or just double. Further,
from the forco of unavoidable circum-
stances, the path Of wealth and enter
prise is much more accessible to each
American than 1t is to the ordinary
Englishman, while the progress oil
American colonization is so rapid that
the wilderness Of to-day becomes q pop
ulous city ten years later. Another
consideration which presents itself in
connection with American finance is the
rapid growth OF the American popula-
ton. The Government has its emil
grafton agents at work in almost every
European country, and a goodly crop Of
e~migrants is now being sent to the
United States - Danes, N~erwegians,
Scotch, Swsdes, English, Germans,
Irish, French, are all being poured into
tho Great Republic to such an extent
that the emigration across the Atlantic
will probably comprise, this year, some
500, 900 souls. With ten years Of peace
we may expect to see the American
population advance at the average rate
Of 1885, 900 per annum; and should
this be tho case, 1880 would see tho
United States endowed with q popula-
ton Of So, ooo, 900.
