I).iRIEJC, (GA.) MONDAY, JULY 19, 1819.
To the Printers of the United States,
ENTLEMEN—In presenting a list of new prices
Mos 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. —
’! ype were more than three per cent lower in Philadel
phia than in London; and no advance wasmade on those
prices, during the late war, although existing circum
stances would have justified the measure. It was con
sidered that an advance would be 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; and also, that it was probable the prices ot types
would continue 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 oolong and
frequently uncertain credit, which produces, to the sel
ler all the effects of reduction of price whilst to the prin
ter who pays it is of comparatively little benefit. All
the advantage is in favor of those who promise, but do
not perform, as in truth they get types for nothing', and
the solvent printers pa/for them. Another objection
to this mode of reducing price is, that it absorbs the
seller’s funds, and, no matter how industrious or frugal
he ma£ be, subjects him to all tlie inconveniences of
poverty.
Men who possess talents, economy, industry and hon
or, will sometimes lack money. The Characters who
have just claims to those attributes, will rarely be at a
loss for friends, and will enter on business with a more
favorable prospect of success, when assisted by a mod
erate, than by an extended credit, \vhich is equally with
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 first of April,
who comply with the new terms, will 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. ‘ _
