work ahl tah execute it for the
price as charged in Columbus and
make a reasonable profit. We feel
that commonj justices entities us to
say this much as the fact that the
work has been contracted for out
side the county might seem to i'm
ply that we have NOT the facilities
for doing it.-Delaware Gazette.
We are among those who believe
it the best policy for individuals
and for County officers TO. patron
ize home industry and home insti-
tutions, especially when the pro
ducts of home,industry a,e in quail
ty equal to those produced abroad
or even If they should not be quite
as good or quite as cheap, the way
to secure their production in your
town, is to encourage your own
mechanics and workmen by giving
them your patronage, thus enabling
and stimulating them to a laudable
rivalry with manufacturers or me-
chanics in neighboring towns or
cities. Suppose the citizens Of Della
ware or any other town should all
take it into their heads that they
could get their goods and their me.
chanical wares a little cheaper and
a little better at Columbus than in
Delaware, for instance, and 60 to
Columbus to purchase them. What
would be the encouragement for me
chanics to remain in Delaware with
the idea of making living at their
trades in that town. Would not
the inducements be greater to es-
tablish themselves in Columbus?
Now we know of number of
County Printing offices where the
Treasurer's blanks or the Asses
sor's blanks or any other blank
ne( eary to be used in any Of the
county offices can be printed as
well and as cheaply as they can in
Columbus or any city in Ohio
And VIC know this TO be true as re,
CARDS the capacity and skill in the
Delaware Gazette office. Why,
hen, take blank work from home ?
In these same counties s.here the
county officers 90 from home to get
heir blanks printed, if there is
haaky job to be executed, they
levcr think Of going from home to
ret that done. If a Maaby notice is
lesired to be published in thepapers
n which the neighborhood or the
officers are interested, they
re sure to call on the county pa
,ers to do it, "Jree gratis for MOTIF
n.y." If the County Treasurer of
Delaware county or the County
Commissioners wish a little politi-
al favor, they expect the Delaware
sazette to be at their service. Iii
ALLY, when election time comes
round, the candidates Of the party
xpect that our paper will support
nd our Editors vote for our can
Iidates. They do not expect to
,et their votes from their business
riends in Columbus.
We are not opposed to competi-
ion in business, but we suggest to
he citizens Of any county town
phether It is not better for all con-
erned in the county to have that
at home, in our own
own. Now we know that a job

n agent is sent out through thir-

es for the purpose Of picking up
lank work that must be had IN ev'

es, can furnish the blanks very

range Of the name Of the connty)

any cheaper than they would be
home, il the home establish

ID even if they did cost a little
