VIZ have no objection so have orr
contemporaries do work cheaper than
We do if they can afford it, and their
work gives as good satisfaction, bat
we don't think some of them exactly
act fair in their struggling endeavors
to keep their heads above water by
pulling others down. Our books
speak for themselves, and we mean
what we say when We tell our bust
ness men that we have over 100 sub
scribers and hundreds more than any
other paper in Mexico, and we are
daily gaining ground; and still one
of our brother editors had the cheek
to tell one of our new business men
last week that it was worth twice as
much TO have an advertisement in his
paper than it was in ours. He told
him this contidentialIy. He was a
new mar in Mexico, and our kind
brother wanted to post him. He
would not have had the cheek to have
told an old citizen that. We are not
complaining, for such business won't
work in any case any better than it
did in this. Our business is above
board. We want our patrons to have
the worth of their money, and mean
they shall. Ii we could not get work
without misrepresenting our fellow
man, we would shut up shop.

We are willing to u a paper for
glory if our patrons will only pay
us enough to keep out of debt. Glory,
personally, is all the editor wants =;
but it don't buy paper or pay the

nearly twice as much as it was a few
months since, and those i'll arrears
must pay up. We have numbers OF
