TINE price of the DEMocpArrc REVIEW has here
l. 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 is 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 bc ac-
cessbc, 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 So 90, or even So 30 per
annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
of its cxpenses) involves, of cou Sc, entire sac
rifice of profit upon it, unless compensated by
vast multiplication of it's subscribers. There will

costly style than heretofore

We look for extension of circulation to be
reckoned by tens of thousands, as the result and
compensation of this great reduction of price,

carry it successfully through the crisis Of this great
