The Democrat would respectfully
inform some brethren Of that what
they are publishing ~ subscription
laws have no foundation in fact.
They are known by the Post Office
department as bogus subscription laws,
and the assistant attorney general
for this department has declared that
parties trying to collect subscription
accounts by means OF their publica-
tion are liable to prosecution for
attempting to obtainmoney under
false pretenses. Look the matter up
gentlemen, and cease the publication
of these 80 called laws. Instead OF
benefting, they greatly lnjure the
newspaper business. They create II
general distrust of newspapers.

publicans are displeased at the pros
