more insistent. The increasmg (305‘. of almost everything that enters in» to the making of newspapers bids fair to sweep the one-cent newspaper out of existence. Many papers in the United States and Canada that hare built up great circulations at aprice of one cent to the reader have been compelled to put their rate for casual sales up to two cents, and to increase mmscrimion rates to four, five, and C051: OF MAKING .‘Lflbrdrnno. The cry of the publisher becomes mnrp insistent. The increasing cost in the Ottawa paper ing, are now on a two-cent basis. The Ottawa Citizen has recently an- alyzed the increases in the cost of the raw materials required in the produc- tion of a daily paper, and gives the re-' sults in these words: ' may prove surprising to many. Rub-j ber, drugs, carbolic acid, felt, cotton, glycerine, gum arabic, and metals of various sorts enter into the mess â€" all this outside the white paper, ink, the paste, and the wrappers. Some increases in the price of these ln- gredients may serve to convey an idea of the increased cost of newspaper production during the past two years. years. The increase in the cost of white paper is 53 per cent. The Government is attempting to have; this reduced, but the present price quoted by news-print mills represents that much increase over 1914 figures. Postage has gone up 33 per cent., car- bolic acid 700 per cent., gum arabic 90 per cent., ink :20 per cent., pressl felts 69 per cent., rubber 33 per cent., glycerine 100 per cent., wipers 67 per cent. Can any other line of business show increases in all its producing material to match these increases in the making of a newspaper? We do not think so. In addition, wages and office expenses have gone up propor- tionately. Wages have increased over 31 per cent. Since December, 1914, while office expenses have increased 35 per cent. And the end is not yet, apparently.” “Making a newspaper is a compli- cated business, and the list of ingre- dients in this commercial pudding ub Looking at these figures, it is reas- onable to assume that the advertising columns cannot be expected to carry all the greatly increased cost of mak- ing newspapers. The only other source of revenue the publisher has is the subscriber. Where increases in subscription rates have been made, he appears to have taken them reas- onably, recognizing that even at four or five dollars a year, his dailv paper is still better value for the mon- ey than almost any other necessary of life. And in these tremendous days the newspaper really is one of the prime necessaries of existenceâ€"The Toronto Globe. W IRWIN, Editor and Proprietor some cases six dollars a year TBAV'ERSTON. Mrs. Geo.
