From 71e TrfblIHe Of JuIy 27.

From TRe Trf,JGe OF July 81
We have received from the Post Office De
Dartment the following official statement OF
moneys paid for postage on regular edi-
tiOns of New-YOrk morning newspapers for
the quarter just ended. These figures
do THE TRIBUNE far less than JUS
tIce, however, unless the reader remembers,
~ that they show its postage, on only
on seven daily issues of its contemporaries;
(2) that the payments on The Herdld are
nearly double as much for the same number
of copies as on THE TRIBUNE, because of the
excessive weight of The HrdlPs constant
supplements, triple, quadruple, and even
Guinmple sheets; and (3) that the
payments Oh The Times are also much
greater than on the same number of copies OF
1HE TRIBUNE, because of the heavy wood
paper its Walter presses compel 1t to use. In
spite of these facts the comparison for post
ages actually paid on regular editions stands as
fnllaVS
New-York tribune., 1878-10-05

1t will be seen that The TRIBUNE is COM
PEELED 10 make the heaviest payments. We
NAV add that we have the official postage re-
turns for the other New York papers, as well
as for those embraced in the above table,
and that The TRIBUNE is charged more than
anv of them. 1t pays, III fact, according TO
the books of the Post Office Department, the
heaviest postage bill of any newspaper IN the
United States, and thus has, demonStrably, the
largest circulation through the mails.
We do not present these figures on any the
DRY that the largest circulation is always the
most valuable to advertisers. The Eren,nng
Ae'cs may perhaps circulate ten copies 10 me
Erepiag Posts one. Yet the bookseller or jew
eller who should thereupon cOncude that he
ought to advertise in The NeWs instead or The
Post would be set down a lunatlc. Quality OF
circulation is an element even more important
than its quantity, and the standing OF the pa
per is as important rs either. There are Jour-
nails whose readers accept as matter or course
what is found credited in their columns. There
are others whose readers rs habitually thlnk
of any sDrighty matter found In them, w ell,

medium therefore, without considering the
quality and the quantity of the circulation.
aud the general Sedence to which the paper
entities itself by It's care to avoid sensational
ism and to print the facts as they are.
But on the first and last of these points the
advertiser can generally form an opinion for
himself. As to circulation, there are no acces-
sible data for comparison that can be absO-
lutey accepted, save these official statements
OF what passes through the mails. We should
be heartily glad to see some system of reports
on other circulation which should have the
same guarantees of absolute accuracy; and
we should cordially unite with our contem
porarics in an appeal to the Legislature tor IL
