Estimates rot asked.

The Government Printing Office was
never asked for a formal estimate OF the
cost Of producing he Cuban Census. On
December 4, 1875, Nr Rossiter asked for
an estimate Of the cost Of producing the
Cuban Census on the basis Of twenty
thousand copies. 71S pages each, size

In response 10 this inquiry Mr.. ROssiter
was furnished with an estimate Of ST.

for the actual cost Of paper, s27s.N for the
cost OF illustrations. S4oo00 for alterations
actually required in completing book. 500

Mr. Rossiter has done the Government
Printing Office further injustice in his in
ridiOus comparison in which he states
that the actual cost OF producing the
Cuban Census Report By private con-
tractors was 81, 75257. and the estimated
cost Of producing the same work at the
Government Printing Office was 81, 80.
In making this comparison Mr. RossiteT
knew that the l1.75257 did not incude
the cost Of paper. He also knew that il
did not include the cost OF S5o90e for trav-
cling expenses. nor did il include The
item Of $1,000 for freight; and he must
have known that the figures quoted as
the estimate for the Government Printing

In an effort TO correct certain alleged
misleading statements which. he believes.
are responsible for the action OF Congress
authorizing S. n. D. North 10 award the
census printing contracts TO private con-
Germs Samuel B. Donnelly. Public Printer,
has transmitted a letter TO Hon. John
Wesley Gaines. OF Tennessee, setting
forth his side OF the question.
At the time the matter was being dis
cussed by the Census Committees Of both
Houses, the Director OF the Census stated
that the Government Printing Office was
overcrowded with the work. and that the
census work must take its turn.
The Public Printer refutes these state
ments. and declares that he had never
been requested to submit estimates Of
the cost Of printing the census.

while his parents and grandparents

been arrested three times for at
tempting to take the child away,
