Free Advertising. ^ We do njl Know who mute uie ~ foliowinir irraphic statement. I>ut lie was evidently some one wiio ha ! "been there"himself. Moreover, he was the editor of a "eountry newspaper,'' as we are assured by the New York Tribune, and il he had written lor a yen-- lie could not have stated the case more clearly, and with such a wealth of philosophy: "The editor has a charter from the State to act as doormat lor the community. He will the paper out somehow, and stand up lor the town, and whoop it up for you when you run lor oniee, ana lie about your bin-footed sen when lie nets ;i four dollar-a week .job, and weep over your shriveled soul when il is released lroin its grasping body, and smile at your wife's second marriage. Don't worry about tiie editor, he'll got along. The Lord only knows how ?but somehow." That covers the case, and covers if all over. The countrv newsna pers in this Stale do more hard and thankless service ior their respective communities than all the officeholders and professional sharps and gentlemen of leisure who were created for some purpose, we suppose. They work early and late, and ninety per cent, of their work goes without reward. It is a strange thing about the newspaper business gen erallv that most people do not regard it as ^business" at all. Customers go into a store and pay for I * 4 1 ? 4 'It __4 ~ -I wuai mey gei. rney uo not usk for a pound of crackers, a bunch of cigars, a box of candy, a bolt of rcloth, or any ol the many thous:7fif|^wKis;3_ which are sold, but they ask the price of the articles which they think they would like, and if llie articles suit and the price is about what they can afford to pay for them, they pay for them in cash, or -have it / charged/' it is not so with news papers. If John Jones makes a great speech,ami it is reported at length by a man who is paid for doing the work, and is printed in a newspaper which has to pay for putting the story in type, Jones would like to get. hall a dozen copies of the paper for distribution among his friends, and Joues generally tries to get them for nothing. If tlialnreiv M Rrnivn Robin son has a tea and her parlors are crowded with the elite of the land, and the society reporter writes a charming account of the delightlnl social Junction, Mrs. BrownRobinson would like to have ten or twenty copies of the paper to mail to her out-of-town friends, and she would be shocked if anything should be said by the young man at the desk about so common a thing as money in exchange for the papers, which she would obtain lor the gratification of her own amiable wish to let her frionile L-tinuT lir?vvr ulm fi<rniv?c in the great social swim. Several years ago, as we have been told, a newspaper printed a long story about the celebration of a military company. It lilled a great deal of space, and cost a good deal of money to put it in shape for the entertainment of the reading public. It would seem that the newspaper had done its full share in writing up the eeleUbration, but the next morning, all the same, a request was made for * a hundred and fifty copies of the /' paper containing the storv for ' general distribution, and a hundred and fifty copies were worth, according to the prices prevailing at that time, exactly $7.50. i>esides the expense of writing uj: the celebration, the newspapei was asked aud expected to con W-rw r /* 'Tx k ' ?
