|. The ridiculous adherence to conven-

some very fastidous people from rec
ognizing strangers, is thus commented
upon by an exchange: We envy nei-
Their the men or women who cannot
speak to fellow creature out of their
own circle or to anybody without the
tormalty OF an introduction. There is
no computing the amount of profit as
well as pleasure such persons lose by
hedging themselves in with this stupid
fence OF fastidiousness. We have al
ready found more OF this feeling among
persons who were more touchy on their
social position than among those self
respecting persons who thought MOTH
ing about it, A great deal OF intelli-
gence is floating around the world with
out being labeled and those men or
women who have the good sense to rec
ognize this fact and act upon it, not
only are educating themselves, but con-
ferring that pleasure which we are all
bound by the common ties OF humanity
to exchange with one another. IL
seems to us that it is only the snob sad
pretender who takes different view Of

TIE COUNTRY PREss-AN UNFAIR
COMPARISON.

The following article appeared in
the Dec. Sth issue OF the Michigan Far
mer. Should the minds OF any OF our
readers run In the channel indicated
by the publisher who wrote as stated
we trust this article will disabuse it.
1--WE lately received a communica tion
from the proprietor OF a county paper
TO the effect that our having reduced
the price OF The Michigan Farmer from
81 to 80 cents was very derogatory to
the interests OF the country press in
general, for the reason that IL would
give our subscribers the idea that il we
could afford to offer our paper as low
as go cents, publishers of country
papers could do the same. II this is
the opinion of any OF our readers we
wish to eliminate it. The country
paper at 81, 81 80, or even So, il up to
date in its matter and methods of doing
business, is decidedly cheap proposit-
ion. Only papers OF very large circu.
lation can afford TO publish their paper
as low as we offer The Michigan
Farmer. Should country paper with
circulation OF from 900 to 5000 at
tempt to follow publications OF large
national circulation In price, it would
be very disastrous to them. For the
reason that the publishers of The
Michigan Farmer, with their large cir
culatiou, can afford to offer their paper
as low as go cents for SO issues, is no
criterion that the country press can
afford TO do the same.
We had no idea that an explanation
OF this kind would ever be necessary,
but IL the publisher who wrote us is
correct, and there are any who think
that the country press should reduce
their price for the reason that we have
reduced ours, we trust they will for
ever forget it. for it is not reasonab BILE
