With a spirit of fairness that will
always characterize the PRESS, we shall.
through the remainder OF the political
campaign, print articles upon both sides
ot the money question under the head of
Public Opiniou". We do this without
any sacrifice of political convictions on
our part, and in Difference to the large
number of subscribers who differ with
the PRESS in politics. There are two
sides to every great question, and we
are willing that our readers shall know
something of both through the medium
of our columns.
