mer is the dull season. Yet publisher

throughout the year to hold his adver-
tiserS.
Commissioner Matthews reviews in an
exceedingly interesting manner the his
tory of the publishing business in Au-
gusta and speaks of the various establish
mcnts and their wonderful growth.
The publishing business at Augusta is
intimately connected with the growth and
prosperity of the city. The money ex-
pended for labor and material is almost
wholly spent within the State, while the
receipts come from other states and rep
resent constant flow of wealth into the
pockets Of Maine citizens The paper
used is slightly better quality than that
on which the regular newspapers are
printed, and is manufactured in Maine
paper mills from wood pulp. With the
expense for paper before wood entered
into its composition, it would be impose
sible to continue million calculations at
Il profit There must of necessity be
limit to the publishing business, but the
country is vide and populous and there
is still room for more publications. Any
fear that the publishing business, because
of the suspension of the Allen papers, is
suffering n decadence, is not warranted
by the facts. Indeed there is more mai!
being sent out by the Augusta post office
the present season than ever before. The
second week in November larger mail
was forwarded than during any previous
week in the history of the Office.
