THE CIRCULATION OF NEWSPAPERS,

The fact that different newspapers give diher-
ent degrees Of value in return for the amount
expended in advertising in them, is patent to
all. or ought to be. II two or more papers arc
placed in competition, the one advertising for
the least sum Of money may be really the dearest
and least desirable. We judge the GasetIe fully
understands this fact when it reiterates that it
would take half the CoMMERorAL's prices for GER
tain city advertising. These prices being our
regular rates to the lusineis public, tho Gdzettes
offer to work twice as cheap must be founded on
a due appreciation Of its own value.
The question OF absolute value in newspaper
does not depend, however, entirely on crcula-
tion. The number OF copies printed by newspa-
pera in the large cities is not the only thing con-
ailered by advertisers, for the character Of The
circulation must be regarded, as we'll as the
character Of the newspaper itself. The penny
Daily Ne'os, OF New York, claims "the largest
circulation of any daily paper in tho United
States," and very probably has it, since II caters
closely TO the preferences Of tho scum Of that
great human oauldror. The saloons" tho
''beer shops" and the many haunts where Grim
inal and vicious topics are most interesting, pa
tronize II, and it prints very large edition. three
or four times as great, perhaps, as that of the
New York Tribune Times, or World. Yet the
advertisers in the Nel0s are few, compared with
those in the larger and more respectable jour
mails, and the character of their advertisements
is in perfect keeping with the tone of the paper
itself, and the character OF its readers. People
who have goods for sale, naturally select the
paper which reaches their sort of customers.
As for the COMMERCIAL, the business men Of
our own city, and those of other cities seeking
the patronage of Wilmington, have estimated
us as favorably as we could demand, and we have
endeavored to give them good paper, in return
for their kindness. Our circulation has grown
steadily Competition has produced by compar
ison, an appreciation Of our merits, and we have
gained ground without single setback. The
whippersnappery cayilings of variety of op
ponents critics, and envious detractors generally
harm us not at all-the COMMERCIAL holds on it,
way, anxious and determined to serve the publ,
with live, honorable, upright ne,cs-paper, ,cheaI
enough to be within the reach of all, and yet no
too cheap to be good.

which arc careless Typography, grammatical
