From and after the 1st day of
May the price of the PACIFIC
COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER will be
FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH,
For the daily issue, with prompt
monthly collections.
Our object in making this reduc-
ton of so per cent in the price of the
ADVERTISER to monthly subscribers,
is to bring it within the means of
every one to procure q first-class
daily newspaper. The prevailing
dizziness in business is recognized,
and the P. G. ADVERTISER is pre-
pared to meet the times by the pub
LEGATION of a thoroughly-equipped and
reliable newspaper at price which
will bring it within the range of all

In making this announcement, the
P. G. ADVERTISER can refer with
confidence to what has already been

that all pledges for the future will be

much to say that the P. c. ADvER-
TIsER is a credit to Hawaiian jour

destroying.
Having opinions, it will express
them fearlessly; being without pre-
iudice, every question will be treated
upon its merits; and having a repu-
tation to maintain, it will be careful
of the reputation of others.
AS a faithful chronicler of events
the P. c. ADVERTISER may always
be relied upon. 1t will neither sup
press facts nor distort them. 1t is q
believer in eternal verities," and an
irreconciIable enemy of sham and
false pretense. It's columns may al
ways be relied upon to present facts

will endeavor to build up IA healthy
and robust public opinion which
should be potential in the correction o.

columns for the dissemination o
vicious advertising notices, neither
does it publish anything which the
most fastidious could object to. II
this important particular, as well al
in honest reporting and unprej
comments, the p. c. ADVERTISER
stands alone among Honolulu news
papers.
Furthermore, it is our settled pur

time when this will be the case
through the admitted superiority o
our paper over all rivals.
We shall continue to furnish cOpi

the arrival of every steamer and vesse
from the Pacific Coast bringing late
dates. Our local reports, now so ful
and comprehensive, will be rendered
if possible, still more elaborate; while
arrangements are nearly perfected To-
| giving local character to our illustra

American Comic Press, the exclusive
right to publish which has been Sc

P. c.. ADVERTISER should be largely
increased consequent upon the reduc

may wish to address the public in
this way must of necessity use it's col
umns for that purpose.
Now is the time to subscribe for the
daily P. c. ADVERTISER. Monthly
subscription, 80 cents; single copy
5 cents.
