To the customers for Thomas's Massachusetts spy : ... The tax on news-paper advertisements has a direct tendency not only to restrain, but to destroy those necessary vehicles of publick information, by taking away their only support ... These considerations have induced the printer of the Massachusetts spy, although with greatest reluctance, to discontinue the publication of that news-paper.
