CosT OF ADvEnTIsTNG.-In this as in every
thing else tho best papers will command the best
prices. 1t is cheaper to pay five cents for in
serting your advertisements IN a journal having
circulation of 600, than to pay two cents for
one that has only circulation of 200. OF this
you may he sure, that any journal that inserts
advertisements cheap, IL. in fact, worthless
medium. If it were really good one it would
have no need to lower its prices, for its sheet
would be filled without tho sacrifice. You may
lay it down rule that every journal knows
its own value, and that il it adopts low prices it
il because it is conscious that it has low circri-
lation in number or in responsibility,
