Following is the full text of Mr..
Nash's printing resolutions:
WHEREAS, The state incursa very
considerable expense in the matter Of
public printing; and
WHEREAS, IL Is believed that all
state printing can be done at the Deaf
and Dumb Institute, Ia n style as
neat and accurate as elsewhere, if an
adequate appropriation should be made
Ia provide the necessary facilities;
and
WHEREAS, 1t would afford en-
ploymcnt to our deaf mutes, manifest
the states tender regard for that un-
fortunate class, and probably result in
u peeuniary advantage To the state
therefore,
Rcsotpsd, That the committee on
printing be, and 1t Is hereby, instruct
cd TO enquire into tho expectancy and
tt.sal q al
ing done mt said institution, and re-
port the result of the investigation to
the House, by hill or otherwise.
The only reason the GAzErIE can

such paper is that Mr..
Nash, being without experience
Ia such matters, seeks to effect some
legislation which will relieve the
states printing business from the in
ceasaut sqltahhling 90 which IL has
here,oforc been subjected. The edl-
cation OF deaf mutes as printers has
proved a failure, and for the state to
own u huge printing office, to be run
under government patronage, will rear
up an institution capable OF causing
more trouble than any other one
agency that could be devised
Ii h not probable how
ever the bill will pass
