DAKIEN, (O.t.J MONDAY, JULY 12, 1819.
| To the Printers of the United States,
OENTLEMEN —In presenting a list of new prices
of types, some explanatory remarks may be useful.
The former prices were fixed during a period in
which the raw materials were dear, and not easily
to be procured, and it is presumed that they had
some claim to be considered moderate, as in 1812.
Type were more than three per cent lower in Philadel
phia than in London; and no advance was made on those
prices, during the lale w&r, although existing circum
stances w'ould have justified the measure. It was con
sidered that an advance would he an actual loss to the
printers, as the competition in the printing business
had, before that period, arrived at such a point, that the
public were supplied with printing, at nearly the mini
mum; audtalso, that it was probable the prices ot types
would (jlptiime some time after the return of peace,’ and
recompense for any advantage that was given up* This
has taken place.
For some time past, types have been lowered in val
ue, but not in price. They have been sold on long anil
freqifently uncertain credit, w'hich produces, to the sel
ler ass the effects of reduction of price whilst to the prin
ter who pays it is of comparative little benefit. All
the advantage is in favor of thow who promise , but do
not perform, as in truth they get types for nothing, and
the solvent printers pay for them. Another objectjMni
to this mode of reducing price is, that it absorbs the
seller’s funds, and, no matter how industrious or frugal
he may be, subjects him to all the inconveniences of
pc'erty.
Men who possess talents, economy, industry and hon
or, will sometimes lack money. The characters who
have just claims to those attributes, will rarelv be at a
loss for friends, and will enter on business w i*K a m,ore
favorable prospect of success, when assisted by a nrod
erate, than by an extended credit, w hich is equally w ith
in the reach of a rival, who, with an ardent disposition
for speculation and adventure, may have but doubtful
claims to reputation for prudence.
In order to leave no ground for complaint, it is to be
understood that all purchasers, since the finst of April,
who comply with the new terms, wdl be entitled to ben
efit by the new prices.
Presuming on the long intimacy which has subsisted
between you, gentlemen, and this establishment, I re
quest you will give this an insertion in your papers.
Your’s respectfully,
JAMES RONALDSON.
