THE BULLETIN IN TIE I'VE NC
Since the repsra,ion Of our y ing
machinery WAS completed we havJ 1een
issuing THE BULLETIN in the evening
-As.sad Of in the morning, and have created
considerable classification by so doing
This fact We regret, and beg those who
are very much dissatisfied TO be pa,ien'.
We have several good reasons for the
course we have taken.
During the past year we have taken the
telegrsphic dispatches for the accommo-
da,ion Of our patrons, at an expense Of
$500 month-$2, 400 a year for the DIS
( patches alone. The publication of the
dispstches increased our Office expenses
$4,000 year as our books will show, max
ing q total increase Of our expenses dur
ing the year, on account Of the dispatches,
of $5,40o. In return for this expenditure
what have we receiv ed Certain of our
business men contributed from 81 to s.
per month, making up in the aggregate
about $50 . month. Some OF the mer-
chants who subscribed, deliberately and
with malice prepenSe, refused after the
first month to pay their subscriptions
while others paid the subscription, but
balanced it by taking from US advertising
to an equal amount. SO that on the whole
we have received from subscriptions di-
ing the year not to exceed $500, Leaving
us an expense of 81, 900 on account of "a.
dispatches.
And, how much have we received in
turn outside of subscriptions for this 49,
lay Not one cent Our subscripior o.
did not increase one subscriber bee So
Of the dispatches, and our advertiser pat
ronsge decreased as we have inc ,ied.
We have, therefore, during the yes, CIV
On nearly 5000 to allow the / 4opl~ 81
Cairo the pleasure Of reading The tee
graphic dispatches in the morning. &c

Of $1,000 gear. We have no douo toe
