THE WISCONS 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 1878. Encourage 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 a
larger ana 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 oui
next announcement, If Providence shall
spare as, that we haze 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
US in the extension Of the circulation o. THF
WISCONSIN. The response was very graft
Tying and satisfactory. We again ask our
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
cvuIftivn of che Ds.,ee. G-a0- hackara.
Nationals and Communis.s. Unless the
conservative and property-owning classes
are organized, united and active there is
great possibility that this nnion OF disorder
iy, disconnected and revolutionary elements
viii be swept into power in the State and
Nation. II 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 win result from an ate mpt to di.
vide the property of the thrifty and provi'
dent among the lazy and worthless.
The farmers of Wisconsin are property
owners and ought to be solidly ranged on
the siGe 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
writers 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 for
the year to come newspaper unsurpassed
in general interest and sound political
views; and without eompeer in the taste
ard neatness Of its material production.
