GENERAL REMARKS.

| Accompanying this article will b
found the complete list of the on
hundred premiums to be given away a
our first Annual Distribution, the date O
which has been fixed for April 9th-on
week from next Thursday. In refer
ing our readers to this list of useful ans
valuable articles, which aggregate, a
list prices, something over 5000, W.
desire to offer some few explanation.
which Will very probably cover most Of
the ground suggested in the many in
quiries received at. the office relating to
the premiums and our ,noue of dis
! tribution.
As we stated in our first announce
ment to the public regarding
the Premium Distribution, The
HERALD wishes to accomplish two
ends, either one of which, if real
lied. will afford sufficient benefit to
justify the means employed. First, it
is our desire to render the Distribution
of Premiums an effective means of adj
vertising the vast improvements in
augurated by THE HERALD, and which
constitute ii in every respect, The
Peoples Paper Second. besides the
qualification which the publishers will
experience in making so many homes
happy with the magnificent presents
below enumerated, The HERALD expects
to realize more substantial benefits.
which will be in the securing of. adj
ance subscriptions and the abolishing
OF agencies, with their attendant COM
missions-which heretofore have alb
sorbed considerable of the profits with
out fully accomplishing the object
sought for. Some have said: why
doesn't THE HERALD reduce the price |
of subscription, instead Of giving away |
so much?f The answer to |
his is, that no matter what !
would be fixed as the price of subscrip- |
ion there would still Be the attending |
difficulties in getting some subscribers
o keep their subscription paid up in
ADVANCE, a condition necessary TO the
uccessful maintenance OF any newspa-
'er. There would still be the necessity for
gents, and collectors. and there would
till exist that same feeling of injured
lgnity where a subscribers paper is
topped at the expiration of the term

rangement preferable when the fact I.
comprehended that where as manyi
5000 numbers are issued every
older of five chances has relatively 4
le chance in ten to draw one of the
lndred Premiums; and even should T.
e number of tickets issued reach TO-
there would still be one chance in
Ienty for the Daily subscriber and a
rrespondingly good chance to sub
rlbers to the other issues. But the
