Increase in Subscription Price.

In almost every city in the West where
Daily Papers are issued, there has been eth
er an increase in the price of the papers, or
a reduction in size. With the present high
price of paper and labor, and of everything
in fact necessary for the publication OF
newspaper, the old low rates cannot be sus-
tanned. We have been holding back in this
matter, thinking that some favorable change
ry on our part, but on the contrary, the ne.
cessity seems daily becoming more pressing.
If there be good reasons for the Dailies OF
the larger cities raising their prices of sub
scription, where they have the advantage in
many cases of thousand circulation to our
hundred, and the benefits fsteam and labor
saving machinery, which we cannot yet al
ford, certainly no one should complain that
ice realize the necessity of initiating their ex-
ample. They can procure their paper at
home, while we have to buy at great dis
lance and pay enormous freights.
The fact is, it is a question with US now
whether our Daily circulation pays its own
own expenses. We are not sure butt sinks
money, and that every new subscriber is an
additional loss. Yet we work off nearly six
hundred papers every day, aside from our
Tri- Weekly and Weekly. A Daily printed
at this point, the size Of our Evansville Dali
lies, should have a circulation of several
thousand, and use steam, to make any con.
siderable profit out of its circulation at the
present prices. We were convinced of this
long time before the recent rise in the price
of paper, &C., &C., and we now feel it. This
has been a hard season on newspapers
largely increased, the general dullness pro-
duced by long continued hot weather,
drought, &C., has very materially curtai!ed
the income of nearly every paper in the
country.
I'm view Of these matters, and really to
sustain ourself in meeting obligations and
making improvements in our paper, we have
concluded in a short time to raise the price
of subscription to the Daily Journal-to
what figure we have not yet determined
We are satisfied our friends will not COM
plain, especially as We shall thus soon be
enabled to make paper better worth lis in
creased price than the present is ten cents a
week. At present we are merely preparing
our friends and the dear public for change
bound to be made!
