The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1885-05-15
FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH.

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 first-class
daily newspaper. The prevailing
duIlness 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
classes.
In making this announcement, the
p. c.. ADVERTISER can refer with
confidence to what has already been
accomplished under the new man
agement of the paper, as guarantee
that all pledges for the future will be
honestly redeemed. 1t is not too
much to say that the z. G. ADvER
TIsER is Il credit to Hawaiian jour
naIism, or that it represents in the
fullest sense the progress and lntellI-
gence of the country. 1t is not pub
Iished in the interest of Il clique or
party, but in the interest of all. 1t
will endeavor to build up and CONSOLE
date, instead of pulling down and
destroying.
Having opinions, il will express
them fearlessly; being without pre-
judice, every question will be treated
upon it's 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. G. ADVERTISER may always
be relied upon. 1t will neither sup
press facts nor distort them. 1t is a
believer in eternal verities," and an
irreconcilable enemy of sham and
false pretense. It's columns may al
ways be relied upon to present facts,
Just as they are, and in this way it
will endeavOr to build up a healthy
and robust public opinion which
should be potential in the correction OF
abuses and an incentive to the faith
full performance of public duty.
The P. C. ADVERTISER should go
into every household, because it is a
s'clean sheet" 1t does not sell its
columns for the dissemination of
vicious advertising notices, neither
does it publish anything which the
most fastidious could object to. In
this important particular, as well as
in honest reporting and unprejudised
comments, the p. c. ADVERTISER
stands alone among Honolulu news
papers.
Furthermore, it is our settled pur-
pose that the daily or weekly publ
cation of the ADVERTISER shall be
found in the home of every English
speaking family in the Kingdom. 1t
is only a question of a very short
time when this will be the case,
through the admitted superiority of
our paper over all rivals.
We shall continue to furnish copi-
Gus reports of the worlds news upon
the arrival of every steamer and vessel
from the Pacific Coast bringing later
dates. Our local reports, now so full
and comprehensive, will be rendered,
if possible, still more elaborate; while
arrangements are nearly perfected for
giving local character to our illustra-
tions, which are now confined to re-
productions from the best work of the
American Comic Press, the exclusive
right to publish which has been Sc
cured for the p. G.. ADVERTISER.
With these inducements, which no
rival publication in the Kingdom can
offer, and with a newspaper con-
Quoted upon the highest plane of pub
lie morality, the circulation of the
P. G. ADVERTISER should be largely
