II costs more to do any kind of
business 10Y than 1T cost twenty years
ago the New London Day complains.
Then all it cost to send its bundles
of papers on the railroad trains was
q few copies of the paper to the train
hands; now the express
charges three-eighths of a cent the
pound for carrying this sort OF mer-
chandise. Then the Day had only TO
give away a few copies to the train
hands; now 1t is paying oven $50 the
month for the same sort of service.
1t also has TO pay now for the parers
II sends by the trolley cars, and this
is only one little instance how the
expense of publishing has
increased in recent years" and more
money is needed in putting out one
issue OF the Day now than was nee
essary in putting out an entire weeks
issue only a dozen years ago"
This is a frank way our contempo-
rary has of talking about its internal
affairs; but the new way is better
than the old. 1t costs a good deal!
more to run express companies ana
railroad trains and trolley cars-therc
were. in fact, no interurban trolley
