THE WISCON SIN.


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 q political
newspaper. The WISCONSIN, now has a
larger and more widespread circulation than
ever before since it was founded. There is
scarcely postoAiee 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 Go this viii 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
US in the extension Of the circulation of TIE
WISCONSIN. The response was very grGtT-
flying and satisfactory. We again ask our
readers to make it a point to try and induce
some neighbor TO add their subscription 10
their own, and thus remit $500 instead #
the usual $3.50. Such course on the part
of all CT our subscribers would double our
list of readers, and double our power Of
usefulness.
The proprietors of The WISCONSIN are lot
wont to aliude to partisan topics in their
! i Il.
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
,sv... possibility that JtIs union of disorder
/ iv, discontinued and revolutionary elements
will be swept into power in the State and
| Nation. Ii they do succeed on the avowed
principles Of their leaders, our people will
1 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 thrifty and proyi-
dent among the lazy and worthless.
! The farmers of Wisconsin are property
owners and ought TO be solidly ranged on
i the side Of order and sound finance. The
I 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 q great republic
"a republic Of law and liberty AMI 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 souadest political
writer's of the state, who will hereafter De a
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 for
the year 70 come newspaper unsurpassed
in general interest and sound political
views; and without a compeer in the taste
and neatness of its material production.
