the debtors to newspaper publishers TO consider
their demands as the last TO be paid -debts TO
which there is attached no moral obligations and
which they can refuse to pay with justice and

tors oEthe press to assert their own nghtss and

Of newspapers under the same obligations that at

most solvent men in the country.
