The LrDeEE has been more properous-
has made more money during the past twelve
months-ihan any other paper, either daily
or weekly. published in New York or any
other city in this country. The great reason
why the LrDorR has been so much moro
successful than any or all other papers Is
that we have not hss;tated TO spend none,
freely Ia securing the services OF all the great
and popular writer's of the county. While
other Tspers have been compelled to econo-
mizc-to cut down the size of their sheets
and print on n poor quality Of paper. we have

respect. and 10 avail ourselves of all the
Improvements and novelties which would
tend 10 the entertainment and qualification Of
ouT readers We have never offered any
humbug premiums 10 secure subscribers. Tor
the reason that we have preferred to put
merit or p~yeniurs into the paper itself. and Ia
that way give every reader moro than the
worth Of bis money. Besides nine out OF
every tea papers that have offered premiums
have been swindling concerns, and every
paper that has anything 20 do with that sort
of thing is sure to die. They are NOT condue-
ted on sound business principles.
