Analyzing the assertion
"to make the price of thin
paper 00 cents a year, would
mean that its value would le
no more than 00 cents" which
we take as a statement that
our 60 cent bargain offer
does not pay. If it does n,t
pity ua howcan it pay another
doing business in the name
town?
"Price has always bf en $1.50
and wo do not intend to re
duce the subscription price
below tbe cost of its publi
cation. We havt decided
however to make the eub-
ecription campaign a bar
gain peroid and will make the
price $1.00. After May 2nd
the regular subscription price
will be resumed." "For one
week, commencing, Saturday,
Deo. 28t,h. we will allow con
testa its 2-r) per cent of all

the wek brings the price to
75 cents to tho publisher.

in order to get it into the
homes, it offers to place it
there for 00 cents and adds
from 250 to 30O readers to its
listina period of Uo weeks
that is a recommendation
for It, and shows that the
public is interested. Tliat
also is an advertisement lor
it as a publication that is
reaching tho publio and is
valuable as an advei Using
medium.
Tho Monitor during the
next three months will prob
ably try various and sundry
methods of building up an
immense country circulation.
At 00 cents we make 'little
money and if we could secure
every available person at the
head of a home in Polk Co.t
we would guarantee to leep
a price of 00 cents at our
masthead year in and year
out. With o'lly a circulation
of 500 or GOO what is a paper
in Independence worth to the
merchants. It is the inten
tion of the Monitor to give
the people of the county a
paper that circulates and we
can guarantee to reach 800

February 1st. that n umber
will bo 'ncivased to 1000.
