Street, Springfield, Mass.
PRICE REDUCED TO MAIL SUBSCRIBERS roR 1875

The special announcements The Union has to make
Of its purpose for 1875 are that the paper viii be
printed throughout new and clear type now being
manufactured expressly for its use; and that, not
withstAnding the new law requiring the prepayment
of newspaper postage by publishers, will retain its
old subscription price. thus VirtuSlly making re-
ducticn to mail subscribers TO the extent OF
the they have hitherto been required 70 for
postage, The prepaid postage on each copy 81 the
about SO cents aud the assuming of this charge by The
Union is in marked contrast TO the announcement Of
OF Its contemporaries Of an increase OF 81 In
price account of the so cents to be paid for postage
The generous patronage accorded TO The Union,-
greater, we believe, than is given TO any paper in
similar feld in the world -enAbles It to be generous
in turn, and encourages 1t in its ambition TO be the
cheapest as It is the largest and best paper in interior
For TIE rest, the course of The Union in the past
must be taken its sufficient guaranty for the future
As newspaper 1t claims to be second to other, in
the scope, fullness and promptness Of its intelligence
Republican in politics, 1t is the organ OF NO individual
pies OF the Republican party is entirely indient to
the ambitions Of those who would use that party for
personal and unworthy ends To the end that these
principles may triumph for the beneht Of the people,
1t will spare effort neglect any legitimate in
1uence it exercise IN behalf Of the Republican
party and the accomplishment Of its true mission.
Prasing where commendAton is due, it will not neg
ect its duty as friend to criticise when criticism 10
necessary.
But while preeminent a newspaper and political
journal, The Union is much more than that Every
thing OF interest to humanity claim space and
attention in its columns Literature and Art Music,
and the Drama; Science and Agriculture; Religion
and EducauOn,-aH form regular departments OF the
paper. The world is CLEANED for freshest intelligence
relating to them and readers are provoked to thought
by editorial comments and suggestions. To matters
relating to homo and home enjoyments to house and
personal adornment; 20 good living as well as high
thinking, The Union also pays due attention Indeed
Il Intentionally neglects nothing that can make life
richer BETTER longer Its office ia not that Of die
ltOr any point OF Ia respe but 10 rather that
Of sympathizing neghbOr,a vAtchfu and couneeling
friend That its position and aims appreciated by
the public is atesed by its growing subscription
list and the many kind words aud wishes Of which IL
