The following are few of the popular
mistakes which suggest themselves to the
publishers of a newspaper who "knows
how it is;" 1t is a mistake to suppose
that toe subscription price of a paper is
clear gain to the publisher. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose that he obtains his white
paper for nothing 1t is mistake to sup
pose that paper can be printed without
cost. 1t is a mistake to suppose that
printers can live by faith, as poor minis.
ters are sometimes said to. 1t is a mis-.
take to suppose that it is easy to please
everybody. 1t is mistake, and a very
great one, to suppose that money due for
the paper would be as good to US in
year as it is now.
