Among the class journals which we
really enjoy receiving, none takes high
er rank than Rounds Printers Cabinet,
published at Chicago. Intended for
circulation only among The craft, yet its
elegant Typography, its artistic ''make-
up" and the freshness and variety of its
contents would make it pleasant visit
ant at any fireside where good articles,
well written and agreea6ly presented,
are enjoyed and appreciated. But
whether or no, the Cabinet attains
general circulation, at least no Office
should consider its exchange list COM
plete, without it's name somewhere upon
it.
For 1874 Pomeroy promises that his
Democrat shall be better than ever be-
fore-more outspoken-more attractive
and with more varied and interesting
contents. Having promised this much,
we believe that Mr.. Pomeroy will re-
deem his word and that in consequence
the Democrat will be even more well
come than it has been, to the thousands
Of patrons who weekly read its we'll
filled columns. Whatever other faults
it may have, at least no one has ever ac-
cused the Democrat of any lack of plain,
fearless, honest advocacy of the princi-
Piles which its editor and proprietor be-
lieves to be right and for that one rare
virtue, if for nothing else. we wish
PCmeroy's Democrat continued success.
