Uncle Sam as Job Printer.

Job printers have just cause for
complaint against government in
reference with their calling. Ordi-
nary competition in business is
sharp enough, but when in addition
to this the printer has to contend
with the cut rates Of amateur black
smiths on the one hand and
the competition Of the government
printing office on the other, he is
literally between the devil and the
deep sea, in business sense.
If fair rate were charged by the
government the case would not be
50 bad. But when both envelopes
and printing are furnished practi-
cally free and the buyer pays only
the usual rate for the stamps, the
outrage is manifest. The whole
thing is as wrong in principle as if
the government we're to embark in
other private business and offer a
bonus to purchasers. .-Ex.

From " j, w. b.
To the Editor of The Republican,.

TO the Editor ofThc Republican,
Is it not most notable feature
in this controversy between Mr.. Ii.
and myself that upon what seems to
be the most Objectionable part we
are unit. That is, we both com
mend Mr.. Hinebaugh in the high
est terms. From this it is evident
that we misunderstood each other;
hence ! write again to explain.
He asks what ! did intend and J
will try to answer as plain and com
prehensible as possible and with due
regard to all parties concerned.
| suggested that ourExamincr be
required to give us free Normal
school and as a reason for the same
! gave that because Of our short
term Of school our Examiner would
have ample time to teach it.
| think the manner in which ]
gave that reason in my suggestion
has probably been the paramount
cause Of the whole controversy from
the fact that it certainly has con-
veyed an idea to some at least, and
probably to many, which ! never
intended to convey. ! should GER
tainly have made my meaning more
comprehensive then. 1t would
have avoided controversy and would
have been much easier 10 prevent II
wrong idea than to correct it now
that 1t has already gone out.
My true meaning Of "hc never
does six months work in "a year.
was that the duties Of his Office do
not require more than oue-half
year Of actual service owing TO our
very short school term.
Mr. II. differs and thinks they
require all Of his time. We may
possibly both be a little on am ey-
tremc.
However, be that as it may. and
be my true meaning right or wrong,
J think it is now comprehensive.
