The latest eflo;t 10 break down the
EEprBLICAS, ovtry other means hav.

dorse puAy edi2t omana'iug from n
committee said to represent a Typo
graphical Union i'll this city. We unly
have an eintim&te acquaintance with
one member Of that committee, but il
the other two members are as devoid of
intellect and brains as the one we know
and if that committee fairly represents
the intellectual standing of the Typ =
graphical Union, then indeed il tho Art
preservative Of all arts" committed to
irresponsible hands. But it is not with
this Union that we have TO do in this
article, e,only 80 far as the attack of their
committee on the REPUBLICAN, is in
d0rSed by the iutlated Kite organ. |.
is well known fact that that paper
has made frequent appeals to the busi-
ness public who advertise, ana to the
mechanics and worklngmeu who are
readers OF newspapers, to withhold
their support from the REPUBLICAN
This proving Of 10 avail, and in tn,

1t is with the greatest reluctance tha
we deny statements made with a de
ilberate and malicious intent to injure
bat it is always a pleasure to correc
mishtatementS and errors which una
yoidably occur at times. The charge
made in the pocket organ are neither G
the latter, but they are made with de
liberate intention 10 irjurc. Now then
word about advertising, rates. Il is under
stood that transient advertisement ar
inserted in all the City papers at tn
rate OF six cents a line for the frs
insertion and three cents for every sub
sequcnt insertion. This rule whel
deviated from we know is as often brok
en- by the pocket organ as any othe
paper. In regard to the RErUDLICA,
cutting the rates Of advertising, W
deny the charge emp a,iCaily. Havin
twice the circulation of Mr. Bayard'
paper, we ask higher prices for our :4d
vcrtising and we almost invariably &c
them, ard why? Becaus" it is WORT
more to business men to advertise in
paper with 5000 Of a circulation than il
one with one half or less that circula
tioD. We have quite number of let
ters from advertisers from a distanc
complaining of our high rates of adve,
tising when compared with the 10,
rates offered by the organ.
The leading business mon of thi
city know to which paper they pay tn
most for advertising, and they know
too which does them the most good I
would be violating business contidenc
Tor us to name a leading business fir
in this city that will not advertise i
the REPUBLICAN because its charge
were about twice what the firm paid {
the complaining organ. We simply sa
that The charge that The REpUBL1CA
cuts the rates of advertising is bas,
malicious falsehood. We get highe
rates for advertising outside of Leg
notices, than any other paper in tn
city, and we are prepared to prove it.
Now word to the charge of emplo,
ing child labor. We are guilty, but NJ
more 80 than any other paper in tn
