THE VISION SIN.
Annual Announcement.

The proprietors of The WISCONSIN,
in making their annual announcement
for 1879, feel impelled to return their thanks
for the marked increase in the list of their
readers for 1873. Encouraged by this evil
dent approval of the character and course
of their journal in the past, they have deter.
mined to add new features to its attractive
ness, both as family and as a political
newspaper. THE WISCONSIN now has q
larger and more widespread circulation than
ever before since it was founded. There is
scarcely postoffice in the state, out of over
thirteen hundred, to which we do not send
one or more copies of THE WISCONSIN We
very much desire to be able to say in our
next announcement, if Providence shall
spare us, that we have at last footing at
every place in this broad commonwealth
where the government delivers its mails.
To do this will require but little effort on
the part of postmasters where our paper is
not now received.
Last year we appealed for the first time in
over thirty years to our readers to assist
usin the extension of the circulation of THE
WISCONSIN. The response was very graft
flying and satisfactory. We again ask our
readers to make it point to try and induce
some neighbor to add their subscription to
their own, and thus remit $500 instead of
the usual $3.50. Such course on the part
of all of our subscribers would double our
list of readers, and double our power of
usefulness.
The proprietors of THE WISCONSIN are not
wont to allude to partisan topics in their
annual announcements. But we believe
there is real danger in the future from the
coalition of the Democrats, Greenbackers,
Nationals and Communists. Unless the
conservative and property.owning classes
are organized, united and active there Is
great possibility that this union of disorder
iy, discontinued and revolutionary elements
will be swept into power in the State and
Nation. If they do succeed on the avowed
principles of their leaders, our people will
live over again the terrible scenes of loss,
distress and riot of 1877. Possibly general
anarchy will result from an attempt to di
vide the property of the .sifty and provi
dent among the lazy and worthless.
The farmers of Wisconsin are property
owners and ought to be solidly ranged on
the side of order and sound finance. THE
WEEKLY WISCONSIN is prepared largely in
the interest and for the instruction and diver
sion of the agricultural classes. We aim to
educate our readers, not alone in the duties
of the farm and household, but in their
higher duties as citizens of great republic
"a republic Of law and liberty and not Of
license and anarchy.
The proprietors have increased the already
large editorial force upon THE WISCONSIN
| by the engagement of HORACE RUBLEE
| one of the ablest and seundest political
| writer's of the state, who will hereafter be .
regular writer for its editorial columns
| This addition to the editorial staff is made
| without the loss of any one of its present
| force of assistants to the editor-in-chief,
who, for over thirty years, has contributed
to every number of this journal.
Thus we feel warranted in promising fol
the year to come a newspaper unsurpassed
in general interest and sound political
views; and without compeer in the taste
and neatness of its material production.
