KEEP EXPLORING

It is the advertiser who provides the paper for the subscriber. It is not to be disputed, that the publisher of a newspaper in this country, without a very exhaustive advertising support, would receive less reward for his labor than the humblest mechanic.
是广告客户为订户提供报纸。毫无疑问,在这个国家,如果没有详尽的广告支持,报社的出版人所得到的报酬,会比最卑微的机修工所得到的报酬还要少。
