THE WORLD, to which tho New York Weekly
ArgHs has boen united, has to-day five times the ag
gregate circulation of any Democratic or conservative
newspaper II addresses weekly alono moro than
100000 subscribers and constant purchasers, and
reaches at least half million readers. With tho
steady increase in circulation which it enjoys
| these numbers will soon be doubled. Nothing less
than this should satisfy those who believe that the
only hope Of restoring the Union and the authority
Of tho Constitution over now distracted and di-
vided country lies in Wrestling power from the hands
Of those whose fanatcism has helped TO provoke in
vito and prolong the war; and that to accomplish
this end, no means are 50 effective the diffusion
through able and enterprisng newspapers, Of sound
political knowledge among tho working men, the
thinking men. and the voting men Of the North.
Enterprise industry and money will be lberally
expended to make THE W0RI, ID the BEST NEWS
PAPER IN AMERICA. It's nows from every part
of the world will be early and authentic. Wherever
the telegraph extends railroads rum boats
ply, it will gather the latest intelligence. 1t has
large staff Of accomplished correspondents with all
the Federal armies who will telegraph and wrte to
us the latest news from the various seats Of war 1t
has correspondents and reporters in every political
and commercial center in America and Europe,
whose letters and dispatches will leave nothing wor
thy of notc unknown to its readers. i.' 'At
The MARKET REPoRTs OF THE WORLD are more
complete than those of any other newspaper. The
editors invite comparison in this respect and point
to the reports of the Cattle Markets. tho general and
country Produce Markets, and the Money Market in
its columns as proof Of its excellence in this respect
THE WORIn has alsn a gnecinl dous p,anf davntad

nicatons from practical farmers, and selected mat

The war in which the nation is engaged against
armed and infatuated Rebels and the radical policy
of the Administration which prolongs it, have con-
spired to bring together upon one platform all con-
servative, Union-loving and Constitution loving
men, Of whatever former name and creed. Many Of
those who, within the limits Of the Constitution
fought the battles Of the ballotbox under the lead
ership Of those patriotic statesmen of other and bet
ter days. Henry Clay and Daniel Webster together
with the masses whose principles were those Of such
patriots as Andrew Jackson and William l.. Marcy,
Silas Wright and Stephen A. Douglas, now stand
shoulder to shoulder upon the same platform and
under the same banner. The platform is a plain
one. 1t is to restore the Uaion HnafRtain tie ConStf
tuition, and enforce the Lars. Whatever makes for
this end the exercise of force or the policy Of con-
cilation, THE WORLD will advocate; whatever
makes against it, THE WORLD will oppose.
1t will oppose every enemy to THE UNION,
whether armed in rebellion at the South or nsidi-
ously planting the seeds Of disunion and essential
disloyalty Mt the North. 1913 1aiHIpg .LH4E3H

in high places in low. by reckless and misguided
partisans or by the Administration which has been
their example. r ~. ,

power and its subyersons of the safeguards Of ctr
