legal nor moral obligations to pay for
it; when, as a matter of fact, they
are under both. There is no law COM
polling any one to receive THE AP-
PEAL, but there is law to compel any
one to pay for it who receives it. upon
the principle, of law that one must
pay for anything he receives. Order
ing a paper discontinued does not pay
any amount that may be due and un-
paid, and the publisher has the right
to continue to send his paper until
whatever may be due for it is fully
paid; then an order to discontinue
must be obeyed. It is hoped that
every one who reads this, that is in
debted to the paper, will bring or send
to the Office the amount due. Every
one who receives THE APPEAL is
expected to pay for it.
