The fury of the late tempest is shown by remark

traffic is stopped in many places. The Ohio Rail-
roads, which suffered the worst, arc not yet in run

1t will be seen that THE TRIBUNE is COM
PEELED TO make the heaviest payments. We
may 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
any of them. 1t pays, in fact, according 10
the books of the Post Office Department, the
heaviest postage bill of any newspaper in the
United States, and thus has, dem0nstrably, 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 Ecentng
Ae'cs may perhaps circulate ten copies to me
EUening Posts one. Yet the bookseller or jew
eller who should thereupOn conclude that ne
ought to advertise in The Nei0s instead of The
Post would be set down luDatlc. Quality or
circulation is an element even more important
than its quantity, and the standing Of the pa
per is as important as either. There are jour
nails whose readers accept as matter OF course
what is found credited in their columns. There
are others whose readers as babtually THINK
of any sprightly matter found in them, Well,
that's lively; | wonder IL it's true" These
last soon come to regard the advertisements In
their paper with the same doubt as the reading
matter. No advertiser can judlei0usly select ms
medium, therefore, without considering the
quality and the quantity OF the circulation.
and the general credence to which the paper
entities itself by its 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 Tor
himself. AS TO circulation, there are no acees-
sible data for comparison that can be abso-
lutelY 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-
pOraries in an appeal to the Legislature for
law recurring, in the interest of advertisers,
sworn reports, to be verified by official in
spection of press-roOms, books and bills for
DaDeF.
