To Sr-BsCRIBERs TO THE ANERICAN.--Aftel
January lst publishers viii be compelled to pre-
paw the postage on all the papers they send to
subscribers who do not reside in the county
where the paper is published. or course pup
fishers will not be expected TO do this and give
credit too Ii will be necessary, therefore, Tor
such subscribers TO remit the amounts due 10y
them together with an advance payment oi al
least six months. We make no additional charge
for postage. but in place Of It, demand advance
payment. During the present and following
month we shall send statement Of subscription
due to I number Of our subscribers. We would
earnestly request all who may receive them VIII
remit at once the amount they owe as We are IN
need OF the funds. In all cases where advance
payment is neglected, we will add twenty-five
cents per year TO the subscription price, but III
the most cases Of such neglect we intend to dis
continue the paper until advance payment is
made, and to require immediate payment Of the
amount due.
Subscribers within the county will have no
postage to pay. But they are reminded that
publishers are compelled to Iay cash to their
workmen, TO the paper makers. for lux, TYPE
rent, fuel, their own living, and everything that
enters into the business. We, therefore, can not
afford TO give long credits. Every subscriber
ought to pay up within the year, and where it is
longer neglected they ought at least to pay as
much in advance as they have been in arrears.
It would require much larger capital than we
possess were we to give unlimited credit, or III
deed, for very long period. Necessity that IS
inexorable demands that payments be made
more promptly than heretofore has been the
custom, and as every body else demands cash or
gives but short credits, we must do the same.
