than Wilmington and ambitious young
men strike Oit for other quarters rath
cr than stay and stafvc and complain O
CIuty wages. The altack Of these in
veniles as is seen iu their organ on
Saturday Is directed entirely agains,
the l:EpUBLlCAs ard ths Gazette. Ia,
latter IN able tO defend itself, and tx
tKPUBLICAN will Try to do the same.
Complaint first, Is that the RErUBLI
CAN employs boys, from II to l6 years
of age, to which these young gentlemen
have no objection provided they are
apprentices and are permitted to learn
tho pyinting buslusas We don't want
50 many b,Vs to i6aru the trade. They
don't coma for that purpose. We want
them 10 serye our thirteen carrier
routes; :hsy come for that purpose and
we pay them for that. in the nleantiIne
some Of them learn ID 10. type without
expecting ~ learn She l,in Ting trade all
throu Ii.
Another complaint is that boys are
kept for thr3G or five years paid 81 80
and 81 per week and discharged when
they wan. more wages with n trade
half learned. The complaint has no
foundation in fact. Boys are rarely
pad less than f2 per week.
Boys who renain three or four years
ana intend to learn the trade are paid
81 and somo IS par week Is there an
office in Wilmington thst does better!

Another compl&ins is that we do not
employ a full staff of reporters and DO
not employ q proof reader, 1t is true
our ruportorial staff is not so large As
on some oth9r papers, but we give all
the local and general news that Is going
