 Dear Sir: 
 
 I take the liberty of annexing the above Account for the 
 Banner newspaper, and of soliciting an immediate remittance of the 
 amount. The enormotis expense which has been found, by experience, 
 to attend the sending of Collectors through the countiy, and the indiffer- 
 ent success which too often attends their exertions, has con&trained me 
 to try the effect of direct application to our friends by Mail. 
 
 The unceasing labour, both of body and mind, which attends the 
 publication of a Newspaper, renders it absolutely necessary that pecu- 
 iHary anxiety should not be superadded. The disbursements of a paper 
 are almost all paid in advance, and the stock of materials requires a large 
 sum of sunk capital. Newspaper subscriptions should properly all be 
 faid in advance, but unfortunately the credit system of the country 
 makes it almost impossible to carry this out — and Publishers are driven 
 to give more or less credit, which the profits of the business will really 
 not afford. The terms of credit are generally extended to the utmost 
 limit of his means, and unless the subscriber keeps time with him 
 he is certain to be incommoded by it. The consequence of this very 
 generally has been, that the publisher (thrown into difficulty by the 
 inconsideratencss of his subscribers) is forced to seek assistance 
 from friends or through the banks, and becomes fettered by obligations 
 to individuals — and to this process we may trace much of the time-serv- 
 ing too often found in Canadian Journals. Every reader of a paper 
 who dot's not pay up promptly, may depend upon it, that he helps to 
 enfeeble the honest and bold tone of the Public Press. 
 
 I speak feelingly on this subject — for the fearless manner in which 
 Tlic Banner discusses every subject which comes up, makes it necessary 
 to depend entirely on our own resources— and i appeal to all our 
 ►Subscribers that it is their dutp to be prompt. To give six months credit 
 
 Pa^. 
 
on the large number of Papers which issue from this Office requires a 
 heavy amount of capital ; — longer credit cannot be afTorded ; and the 
 benefit gained from those Subscribers who take advantage of the 
 cash price (15s.) is heavily over-balanced by those who greatly exceed 
 the limited credit. 
 
 This Circular will be sent to all our Subscribers ; but there are many 
 among them to whom it is not applicable. There are numbers who pay 
 promptly and freely, and they are cordially thanked for it ; I trust they 
 will not be offended at receiving a copy of this Circular, as it would 
 have been invidious to make selectioas. 
 
 I remain^ 
 
 Dear Sir, , , , . ,. .^^ 
 
 Your most obedient servant, 
 
 GEORGE BROWN. 
 
 N. B.— It is net necessary to send the exact amount ; any numbei of dollars 
 can be placed to the credit of the party. Letters containing remittances should 
 be marked on the cover " Money Letter," and be handed to the Post Master. 
 All Letters sent in this way will be at the risk of this office, and be acknow- 
 ledged weekly through the Paper.
