We have shewn those whose names will shortly be sent to our toiicitor, with instructions to sue forthwith, the most ample consideration. We hare let their accounts stand bver month lifter morith^ quarter ''after qu'iirter^ arid year aftrir] year, and trie! «very means of obtaining a s«ttleinfiiit Hl:ort of the final a|terna-\ tive which w« are at lehgth. forced' io have rrtcoiirseto with extreme reluctance on our part . In the majority of cases we feel a.itislimi that it is not a question of v can ? t i»ay," but rather one of" wuif't pay unlens I am coinpulled to." The individual amounts are small, which it all the more reasou why they should bt paid, but m. 'the aggregate^,they.jreprenrnt a very considerable stiiri. '<We may be allowed to point out that the expenses of a daily newspaper are very Jieavy;; and it is most unreasonabla on the part of those owing accounts to let them Htund over aud habitually: disregard all requests for settlement.
