PROSPECTUS OF THE NEXT Cor 17th) VOL.
THE price of the DEMOCRATIC REVIEW has here
IL tofore been too high-not for its size, cost, and
character, but for the means of tens of thousands
of readers who would be glad to receive it, and
among whom it s highly desirable that it should
circulate. For the purpose therefore, of largely
widening the range of its usefulness, and of multi
plying the numbers of those to whom it may be
cessiblc, it has been determined, simultaneously
with the great reduction in the expense of the post
age. to reduce its subscription price Also from Flee
to only Three dollars; and when several unite in
subscription, to as low 50 so, So 80 per
annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but u comparatively small diminution
of its cxpenses) involves, of course entire
rifice of profit upon it, unless compensated by
vast multiplication of its subscribers. There will
he at the outset only small reduction in its mum
Der of pages; to be restored to its old number,
without increase of price, when the anticipated
success of the experiment shall justify it.
The PORTRAITS DISTINGUISHED DEMocR ATS
will be continued-e graved in better and more
costly style than heretofore.

Every friend of the work. and of the Democratic
principles and cause, is confidently appealed 10 to

reduction of its receipts.

year, will receive it, at the reduced rate, for year

LIMA STANDARD. MI-wEEKLY.-The
dcrsigned proposes to publish The iNoarH CARoLI-
MA STANDARD after the first of February, 1916,
twice a week. Many democrats, in various quar-
ters of the State, desire this, and it is believed
can be done, if exertons are, made in it's behalf
among the democratic party generally. The inn
portance of such issue is it seems to the under
signed, too apparent to require arguments in its
favor. A semi weekly paper ought surely to be
sustained by the democratic party of the State, Ia
party which casts 1000 votes,) especially as the
Fcderasts have t,co Semi weeklies, in addition to
t,co papers to our one in the State Think of this
democrats ard of the influence which such publ
cations must inevitably exert upon the public mind
The WEEKLY STANDARD will be published as
heretofore, and, the undersigned hatters himself,
will be much more interesting and valuable than
it is at present. 1t will contain at least eight col
trnns more Of reading matter than IL does noU.
TERMS
The Semi weekly Standard will be published at
Four Dollars If paid within the first three months,
or Five Dollars, if delayed beyond that period and
the weekly Standard at Three Dollars per annum,
payable in advance.
Both the Weekly and Semi Weekly will be print
ed at the prcsen, size, on fine paper and with new
type Subscriptions to both papers are most re-
specially and earnestly solicited and subscribers
To the present paper, who willing to take the
Semi Weekly instead of the Weekly, will please
