The circulation af Democratic newspapers,
and especially of couaty papers in their sew
eral localities, Is of the greatest Importance.
TO encourage this enterprise, and to aid in
the dissemination of correct doctrinesf we
have determined 10 reduce our rates Of sub
tcription tothe lowest possible point consis-
tent with the rrice of paper to US.
Fifteen dollars will procure ten copies Of
the spIE,r for the full term Of one year. with
an extra copy to the person who sends US that
nrmber of names. .
There ought not to be a townshi, where 1t
would be difficult 10 raise that small sum
among so any subscribers.
II is conceded that the Sr!grr is one OF the
best representative of Democratic principles
in. Eastern Ohio while at the same time it
gives g very large quantity OF family and
miscellaneous reading, together Sith the i'm
portant local news Of &unree County, and
full reliable narks. reports will he given
each week,
We shall earnestly oppose the unjust sys-
tenn, inaugura.ed kJ the Radical party, o.
tsxing the latoriDg man to make the rich
man richer.
The lsborirg m D takes greenbscks for his
produces while the 1bondholder spurns them
as aisgs," and demands goidfcr his bonds.
This is unjust; il greenbacks are good
enough for POOR men who pay taxes they are
good enough for the bondholders who pay
no taxes, and they will he compelled 70 take
them (and pay their Just proportion of taxa
ton, } in exchange for tlieis bonds or nothing,
just as they may elect.
i'm conclusion, We ash the old frisr ds of our
paper to make an effort to increase our cir.
culation on the basis of these terms. There
is no paper in the country whose terms are
more liberal Than lhose Which we now offer
