Inportaat and Righseeu~ Decis.

fOu.
The Post Oeics Department has made
Q decision which j. rather tough on those
country papers which print only one side
at home. the other side being printed in
some distant city. The decision II, that
those papers cannot be considered ss be
ing printed in the County where issued.
but are only partly so. and therefore
.thsy cannot 60 to subscribers 10 the Coun-
ty free OF postage. as papers do that are
wholly printed in the County. Hero is
the decision:
s-."Coupty papers must be printed snd
published in the County. to permit them
to pass through msils under section Isl, d,
laws of 1866. A paper. one half Of
which is printed in another County, does
not come within the meaning Of this Sec
tion."
: We srs glad Of this decision. 1t may
mot be such . bore to subscribers who
rssd bat one country paper; but to news.
paper editors. who receive from dozen
to twenty papers. the outsides Of which
ere sll exactly alike. it is great nuis-
snce. Fully ons-thi1d. Of the papers 10
the West are now got up in this way;
and as they all come from three establish
msnts. locsted at Chicago. Milwaukee.
or Bslisville. Illinois. there is not much
variety 10 them. The matter is unexcep-
tionabls. and generally we'll selected, but
it is too much Of good thing.
But the greatest evil connected with
this system is. that it is running the for
eigu advertising patronage Of the country
papers. The Offices supplying these
printed outsides o: insides. reserve the
right of inserting given number of col
unns of advertisements, for which they
receive pay. They then contract with
the heavy advertisers and advertising
agents of the East, for their advertise
msnts to be inserted in specified number
Of country papers throughout the West
They are enabled to put down the rates
very low for each paper; and the result
is. that the advertisers do not contract for
their advertisements in country papers
outside Of the list furnished BY these men;
or. If they do. the country publisher who
is sudesvoring to do legitimate busi-
ness. is compelled to take the advertise.
ment ct the reduced Wholesale rates of the
patent newspaper outside furnisbers.
The publisher who uses these outsides'
receives nothing for the advertising. and
parties who do their own work do not get
tbs advertisements.
This is the way in which country news
paper publishing is being broken down;
for any botcb and sdventurer can publish
q newspaper. by getting the work done
in some Eastern city. To convince any
one of what class Of printers publish pa
pers printed in this way, let him pick up
ons of the sheets, and examine the neat
and tasteful appearance of the outside.
that comes ready printed from the East.
then turn to the miserable. msckled. blur
red, crooked and unresdable columns

part limited to home consumption. Far
mers were obliged to sell their grain low
er than had ever before been known For
every bushel of grain that they had sold
at the advanced rates, they were compell-
ed to sell ten at corresponding LOSS. As
for the SPECTATORS, their losses were i'm
mense. Immense fortunes were lost, AMI,
parties found themselves with heavy stock
ON hand, which they were Obliged to sell
for little more than half what they cost. :
There can be no doubt that much of the
general business depression of the present
year may be attributed to the policy of.
holding back the grain crops.
Warmed by experience, it is to be
earnestly hoped that this error may not be
repeated. AS general thing, prices rule
higher in the Fall than in The Spring. At
any rate, the advance seldom covers the
cost and injury of winter storage, and the
loss of interest on the money that might
have been realized four or six months car
lier. This year the only chance for rise
occurs in the doubts that still hang over
the English harvest. But even in the
case Of short crops in that country it is to
be remembered that we must compete with
other foreign producers, who do not labor
under our disadvantages of au nmconyert-
able paper cnrrency and an oneroGs system
of internal taxation.
So far it may be admitted that the pros
poets are hopeful. There is a large AMI
increasing movement in breadstuffs to the
seaboard that promises well for an active
Fall trade Currency begins to dow vest
ward, for the movement of the crops and
in few weeks the volume must be large!
ly increased. On this point the only an
xiety that need be felt is lest the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury should attempt his con-
traction policy. Ali that is required is TO
let the money market alone, and abstain
from any artificial pressure, at least until
after the currency begins to flow back to
US in payment for articles of general con-
sumption which the farmers will want
and have money in their pockets to pay
for.
The movements of breadstuifs this sea-
son show important results. During tho
first week in August, 1869, we exported
401 700 bushels Of wheat from this city.
Last week the quantity Increased to 302.-
500 bushels. aud this week the returns
promise still further increase. Our wheat
exports since May Is, 1869, were G,717,-
700 bushels, and 4S8 800 bbls. of -four.
The receipts of -four and wheat at the Lake
ports for the week ending August Z, were
equal to 45p, 900 bushels of wheat in ex-
cess Of the same period last year. Therj
