Typo: A Monthly Newspaper and Literary Review, Volume 1
[miscellaneous paragraphs]
The organized opponents of free trade in this colony have an equal objection to free speech. Both in Dunedin and Christchurch public meetings to be addressed by freetraders have been broken up in confusion by « roughs » sent there for the purpose. In each case the lecturer was a gentleman of standing and ability, and in each case the local representative body of protectionists arranged the « demonstration. » Fortunately they are not able to gag the press, which is almost without exception in favor of freetrade.
Herr Karl Krause, of Leipzig, has sent us his complete illustrated catalogue of paper-cutting, calendering, perforating, and other machinery for printing and bookbinding. All kinds are included, from the massive machinery required in the largest paper-mills to handy little machines suitable for small job offices. Some of the latter—as, for example, the smaller-sized gold-lettering presses—are not shown in any other catalogues that we have seen, and would, we believe, sell well in this market. The catalogue occupies 120 large 8vo pages, is beautifully printed, and enclosed in a cover of tasteful design. All the machines are manufactured by Herr Krause, and his works, illustrated on the back cover, are a small town in themselves. In a note accompanying the book, Herr Krause says he will be happy to forward a copy post-free to any of Typo's subscribers on application. Mr P. Erfurth, of the Continental Export and Agency Company, Limited, informs us that his firm have been appointed New Zealand agents for Karl Krause's manufactures.
