GENERAL REMARKS.

IL
,..o,onanving this article will be
1' the complete list of the one
gum, asnJ,ed premiums to be given away at
luu a-st Annual Distribution, the date OF
~ L;a ai, has been fixed for April 9th-one
VIM .r- from next Thursday. In refer
, '.', readers to this list of useful and
~ articles, which aggregate, at
w. nrices. something over $1,000, we
~ ,..;ro IN offer some few explanations
-hiob will very probably cover most OF
tEa ground suggested in the many in
mi received at the office relating TO
.Se nremiums and our MODE OF DIS
Hl ~ me- stated in our first announce
.,a nT to the public regarding
. hoi'' Premium Distribution, THE
~ wishes to accomplish two
ms either one OF which, if real
; gpd'' will afford sufficient benefit to
irsfi the means employed. First, it
L onr desire to render the Distribution
n Premiums an effective means OF ad-
ysrtising the vast improvements in
anfurated by THE HERALD, and which
Constitute it in every respect, The
Pennies Paper" Second, besides the
ratification which the publishers will
experience in making so many homes
happy with the magnificent presents
below enumerated, The HERALD expects
10 realize more substantial benefits,
which will be in the securing of adj
vance subscriptions AID the abolishing
of agencies, with their attendant com
missions-which heretofore have alb
Orbed considerable of the profits with
nut fully accomplishing the object
sought for. Some have said: "WhY
Doesn't THE HERALD reduce the price
Of subscription, instead of giving away
20 much? The answer to
this is, that no matter what
would be fixed as the price of subscrip-
ton there would still be the attending
difficulties in getting some subscribers
20 keep their subscription paid up in
advance, condition necessary to the
successful maintenance OF any newspa-
agents, and collectors, and there would
still exist that same feeling of injured
dignity where a subscribers paper is
stopped at the expiration of the term
which his last payment covered.
Others have expressed the opinion that
The HERALD could have given better
satisfaction to subscribers had it pro-
rated the $5000.00 SO that every SUBJ
Nriber would have received a little
something, This We do not believe. 1t
E human nature to prefer to take
chance of getting something considera-
ole, rather than the surety of a very
little; that is where there is nothing at
sake as in the present case; for those
subscribers who are. not fortunate
enought to get the piano or some other
premium will still receive their paper for
He year and we do not expect that any
CODY will subscribe for TIL HERALD
VINO does not think it worth the sub
NrIpaon price. Especially IS the chance
arrangement preferable when the fact
eomprehended that where as many
9VDO numbers are issued every
aulueT OF tYe chances has relatively
Gs chance IN ten to draw one of the
gunured Premiums; and even should
S Is number of tickets issued reach 10,=
MInere would still be one chance in
@enty Tor the Daily subscriber and a
,' Eg[1espondlngly good chance to sub
s S.oeIS 70 the other issues. But the
' aJ4sg holders, and those contemplating
o an !ickets, can comfort themselves
;gIst1ail9lng much better chauce than
vb TH1tlOl'ed IN the last given figures. as
ss -ne most OF the city subscribers have
pr ssteu Their chances, there are still a
sonn number residing in the
ibe SGty who have not obtained
tSs;. chances not having paid
s maj !. subscription n year in advance,
S sew y Is Is on this basis only that we have
csn rou eckets or chances. OF course we

t6as sS may yet apply for tickets, but as
