DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

Greatly reduced prlce-iTom 80 to SIS yeal
Prospectus Of The nert (Or I7th) Voittme
YHSHE price of the Democratic Review has
ii heretofore been too high--not for its size
cost and character, but for the means Of tens ot
thousands ofreaders who would be glad to receive
it, and among whom it is highly desirable that It
-hould circulate. For the purposes therefore, Of
largely widening tile range of its usefulness, aud of
multiplying the numbers of those TO whom il may
be accessible, it has been determined, simultaue-
ously with the great reduction in the expense Of
the postage 10 reduce its subscription price also
from Five to Three dnllars;and when several unite
in subscription, to low as $50 cents or even 2,30
per anhuin. .
This very large reductionin the receipts (accom-
panied with buta comparatively small dimnutlon
Of its expenses involves of course, an entire sac
rtce OF profit upon it, unless compensated by
vast multiplication OF its subscribers. There will
be at the outset only small reduction in It's num-
Der of pages to be restored to its old NUMBER
without increase Of price. when the anticipated sue
cess OF the experiment shall justify it.
The Portraits of Distin, uished Democrats will
be acknowledgement in better and more costly
style than heretofore.
The postage will hereafter, for any distance, be
only five aud hall cents; it has heretofore, for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
We look for an extension of circulation to be
reckoned by tens of thousands, as the result and
compensation of this greatreductlon of price Ev.
cry friend of the work. and of the Democratic
principles and cause is confidently apr called to, to
exert himself with an active interest to procure it
subscribers both to extend It's usefulness, and to
carry it successfully through the crisis of this great
reduction of Its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
year. will receive it, at the reduced rate for year
and half
