The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-07-30

Bro. Woodward displays good taste
in bis capacity Of editor. We regret,
however, to learn from its columns,
that sipce Il has .been changed from a
semi.monthly TO a weekly, its prospects
are not very fiattering--that the G.
D. Of Indiana, being responsible for
its cost Of publication, will have very
considerable bill to foot, If the "Sons"
do not come up to its rescue. The
Chart is a good and efficient Temper
ance paper, and it will be a burning
shame ifthe Temperance men of that
State suffer it to expire Of the disease
incident to Temperance publications
generally--soaaI Of patronage. The G.
/ D. Of Indiana committed an error, land
we thought so at the time), in chang
ling the paper to weekly, without
changing the price in the same pro-
! portion; but that body acted for the
good Of the cause, and the 'Sons" OF
the State should have magnanimity
enough to save the G. D. from the an.
! ticipated loss. Let them send in the
/ 1000 subscribers asked for, and all
viii be we'll. We have had consider.
able experience in the publication Of
Temperance papers, and know that it
is difficult matter to sustain them. If
the strictly Temperance people do not
support them, where can the publisher
look for supportl There are enough
Temperance men in Ohio and Indiana
to support half a dozen such papers as
the Chart and Organ. They all admit
that an organ is essentially necessary
to the existence Of the cause; but when
they have a good pqper offered to them,
why do they not support it ? 1t cannot
be on account of pOUerty' for idleness,
intoxlcation and poverty are indissolu.
bly, connected, and vice versa. We do
not like to attribute it to StiRginess, &c,
for the Temperance cause can boast OF
large number of liberal souls in its
ranks. We wish every friend of the
cause in the West would act as if the
existence oftheir paper depended upon
him we would then have the riaht
kind Of papers, and the subscribers
4 would not be bored to death with read
ing the losses of the luckless publish
f ers. We hope oar readers will take
slime by the forelock," and save the
Organ from the very skadoao of danger
we are not grumbling about the patron
age bestowed upon the Organ; but We
] wish to create the impression, that the
more the Organ is patronised and cir.
{ culated, the better we can afford ia
make the paper, and the more good
we can accomplish.
We insert below the notice from the
. Chart, hoping that our readers in the
= Hoosier State, land we have a gooC
many, will see the necessity of doing
! something Immediately for their Owr
e paper They must have an organ
and they cannot do better than t.

D " The Grand Division at its las
!. session, in order to enable every tenn
perance man in the State to have tn,
Chart, put the price down 10 50 cent
per copy to clubs Of 10 or more. Ii
order to pay actual cash expense
weekly, it is neces sary that the sub
. scription should be increased to 800
. copies. We are now publishing 500
copies weekly, and although this i
the fourth number af the second vo
$ hume, the subscription has not ye
' reached 1000. Our friends, some G
3 them, are doing all they can, and some
, we fear, are doing nothing, Our sub
scripiion in this city is nearly 200
in Lafayette, Milroy, Wabash, Mos
$ COW, Economy, Br9okville, and a fev
other places, it is very respectable
in but few others does it exceed 10 +
each, and in some, where it should b
I 100, it is none.
g Now we know, with proper exer

J papers, and Democrats for democrati

considerable bill to OF. Let ou

for 10 copies, and circulate them. tina
