At that time, the price of advertising was so
cents per square for each insertion.
Now, we would ask, what can the JOURNAL
possibly expect to gain by this contemplate
gamer -" Whom the gods would destroy they
hrst make mad, It's said, and its shameful and
idlotle course can only result in showing it up
In It's true c0l0rs, even to the few who thus far
nave shut their eyes to the plainest evidence of
all their senses [C0urler, April 18th.
Well, let us see what we have gained.
The Courier attacked US by publishing
the rates of the two papers thus:
JOURNAL.
One Dollar per square for each insertion.
Courier.
Fifty Cents per square for the first insertion
and twenty-five Cents for each subsequent i'll
sertion.
We had some copies of the Courier
containing some of it's sales--we had
only a single copy containing sale of the
estate OF Littell; and our object was to
show that our square at one dollar costs
no more than the Comier's did at fifty
cents when it published judicial adver-
tisements. The only way we could get
at the charges was to go to the tableau.
1t the tableau misrepresents the Courier,
that is a matter that it must saddle upon
the one who made it. When the COu-
rter publishes it's detailed account, we
reproduce it at once. We have vet to
see a single instance of similar fairness
its part towards this paper. If the
Courier wants Mr.. j. Fl. Sandoz and the
White League to shoulder all that part
its record that is distasteful to it now,
that is a question that this paper has
nothing to do with. We have shown
that the Courier reduced it's price as
soon as the Sentinel seriously interfered
with It's patronage, and then doubled
ts price aCithoat increasing it's square as
as it had secured the SentineE's sus-
pension. All this might have remained
n the privacy of the past, if the Courier
lad let the matter of squares and charges
llone.
We have gained this +: a publication
Dy the Courier of the number ofsquares
several of its sales, which enabled us
% show, by replblishing the same sale,
low many more squares it was in the
measure than in ours. The
Courier charged for 43 square in the
ale OF the estate of Littell. The amount
vas S96.75, at 25 cents a square. We
the sale and it was only 90
squares. 20 squares one insertion Az
llne insertions $45-showing. according
70 the Coarier's statement of the eaualitv
squares, $51.75 overcharged, The
'nly escape it has from this, is an ar
E~noWledgment that our square is more
han twice as much as its own in the
of the estate of Littell.
Now for the sales i'm the estate Of Har-
is. The Oourier's dates in the bill have
inabied us to find them, and here they
re both, in French and English, taken
rom its own columns:
