Argus loss to county Sll.3I
to say nothing of distribution.
SO the Argus suffers a clear
loss on its county printing OF
Sl.7O on every column or Sll.31
on every page. yet that sheet is
fool enough to say;
"Suppose we say that our regular
advertising rate is twelve and one
half cents per inch, making for col
umn. the sum of 81 50 for Il single in
scrtion. x The county isc GER
tainly entitled to some show in the
matter.'
Oh, thou befuddler.
Don't you charge your home
merchants at the rate of % cents
IA line for reading matter, which
is S11.-5 per column?
Aren't your home merchants
entitled to the same rates for
advertising as the county. and
what right have you to lose Sl.1O
per column on printing FOR the
county, while you clear SOIL
profit on your home merchant:
Pray don't confuse solid q
point reading matter with large
display advertising, when one IS
point type is 64 times larger
than one Is point type, occupies
"a times more space and it would
require "a times more to fill the
same space with Is point type.
No. 1t is the inbred old razor
back swine in the Argus that
prompts such methods, to pro
vent some other paper from get
ting it, and of course it can COh-
tinue such methods so long as the
stockholders dig down in their
pockets to foot the bill and pay
the "editor' SO per month.
The people of the county are
probably aware that all the other
papers in the county have to
hustle to pay their own eXpen-
SpS.
This is evidently Il sample of
the Argus unioniSm- socialism,
republicaniSm.

CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH.

Poor OLD Argus; it just can't
tell the truth!
In its fccble and false effort to
bolster up and justify its un-
reasonable and unbuSineSSlilc
bid of II cents for the first is
sue and 10 cents for the second
issue pen 80 square ems of type
for the county printing, the Ar
gus exposes its ignorance.
Now, to begin with, let us see
what 80 square ems of type is.
Usually, legal matter is set in
Is point type, and 80 ems is ii
little less than nine lines. 1t
takes II lines Of 6 point type to
make an inch. There are l9Y
inches to a column and llSa
inches to page. One inch con.
tains 4l2 ems: one column 6l62
ems: one page 36,972 ems.
The bare cost of setting type,
UNION SCALE land the Argus
is a union paper), is 81 cents per
1000 ems, to say nothing of the
value on space and the profit on
labor.
This means that the bare cost
of setting the type, to say moth
ing of the cost of space, the profit
on labor nor the distribution of
type after the matter is printed,
would be:
One column, S2.l5; one page,
Sl2.94.
Now, let's see what the Argus
gets for the work.
AT Is cents per $50 ems, one
column would be S4.44 and one
page would be S26.64.
Deduct from this S2.l5 and
Sl2.94 and you would have S2.2S
and Sl3.7O, to say nothing Of cost
of distribution and the profit on
labor and the value of space,
which would easily balance the
total amount received by the Ar,
gus, making the work free to the
county.
A paper should have at least
80 per cent profit on labor, which
would make a column cost So. ,;
and Il page SlS.41. Space, at
ID cents per page would run this
up to S6.l4 per column or S3S.Ol
a page, to say nothing of distri
button.
This would make the result as
