N,rADaper Ryyo,cers. The man who declines
subscribing to newspaper, but who is not above
borrowing it from his ncghbor is guilty of a dou-
blc trcspaashc profits by the labor Of the print
or without contributing cent to his support, and
he dcpriyes his neighbor of the free cnioyments
Of his property. 1t may be argued that the print
or has nothing to do with newspaper after it is
delivered into the possession Of subscriber any
more than tailor has with the coat which he
sells toa customer, But we hope no man of
common sense who processes to entertain correct
ideas Of lberty and Justice will argue thus.
The press is common benefit to the community
at larpe, for which all who partalSe of it arc IN
Justice bound to contribute something in return
THE proprietor establishes it at his own risk,
1t heavy expense, and maintains it by dill
mcnca Of application and intensity of labor of
which few of those who are benefited by it have
the most distant idea. IL asks nothing in return
but an equitable remuneration of his services
from the community i'll which he resides But
suppose that community unhappy to contain
but a small portion of individuals who are sufli-
cienty liberal to appreciate the value Of press,
as public institution, or to make proper esti-
mate of the services ofthose who have undertake


en- the drudgery of conducting it. and suppose
a much larger portion so sordid as TO withhold
their support, because they can, through the lib
eral few, be accommodated without incurring the
mighty expense of or 6 cents week Would
not such niggardliness deserve to be hooted at
as a scandal to the comnunityi Who would not
laugh at the idea of one half of the community
borrowing coats, hats and shoes from the other,
to make decent appearance in, on particular
occasions, and at the same time admit that no
tailor, halter or shoe Maker could ever hope TO
thrive among such peopiai Yet It is tie same
injury to the interest Of the printer, to make one
newspaper serve half dozen readers, as it would
be to the tailor, to make . fine dress roat serve
the purpose of so many dandcs. NWe must
contrive to do without the expense ofa newspa-
per- Ca mere triae in amount) is one OF the
poorest and most pitiful resolutions that can be
imagined but is ten times worse when backed
by such reservation as this--'for if I want to
read one l can borrow it." What would such
people say, if the community generally were to
come to the determination to do without the ar
ticles which they vcnd or manufacture, or with
out their services in any way We like to see a
liberal spirit. All trades occupations and pro-
fessions are mutually dependant on one another;
and we should encourage every one who contr-
butes his means to advance the welfare Of our
selves or that community.
