Each of the 350 papers and periodical editors write by average per issue ou ten different subjects. Thirty dailies, 300 times per year, consume 90,000 editorials ; and 320 weekly and other periodi- cals, consume 167,000 editorials.


One-half of the whole are non-political, and one-half political editorials. Of this one-half, a moiety are the offspring of party feeling, and govern the mass of voters, whether right or wrong.


But as both can not be right, it follows that the people pronounce indirectly upon the same annually through the ballot-box ; their judgment that whichever party may have been defeated, have propa- . gated about sixty thousand lies to carrry the election.


This is the remedy of civil government for purification, without resorting to the bayonet, as in other countries ; and thus the work goes on from year to year and decade to decade, the ballot-box annually becoming the lever of public opinion in making statesmen ont of pigmies, and reducing statesmen to pigmies, in a political point of view.


On the other hand, the public press builds up the fabric of gov- ernment, assists religion, prevents sectarianism, and promotes the general welfare so thoroughly that no man, woman or child can be wronged in Ohio, without punishment to the wrong-doer.


The editors engaged in this momentous labor devote their lives to the publie good, yet generally receive as compensation more " kicks than coppers; " and when they die, it is, with a few excep- tions, without remembrance, or tomb-stones, from the public.
