IT is fitting that the pioneer of low-priced
journalism in the West should lead in placing the
American newspaper Of to-day upon the basis of
the lowest unit Of American coinage. Twelve
years ago that unit was the nickel in Chicago and
throughout the Northwest. The founding Of The
DAILY News at a lower price was regarded by the
journalistic profession as inviting certain failure.
But they were wrong. To-day there is not a
nickel paper in Chicago, and the circulation of
IHE DAILY News averages, as shown by its pub
hshed sworn statements, $4,000 copies a day
with a single exception the largest daily %circula-
ton in America, and greater than the %circula-
tons Of all other Chicago daHe eomMxea.
HE DAILY News has prospered beyond the
most sanguine hopes of its founders. For this it
has more than once made its grateful acknowledge
ments to an appreciative public. 1t believes, how
ever. that the time has now come when, acting
progression, it can give its thanks more practical
expression. 1t proposes henceforth to "divide"
as to its friends-and to multiply as to its %circula-
ton. To-day it reduces its price to one CENT
and expects to double its circulation.
And anticipating the questioningsi Of the
doubtful let it be briefly said that tile thing can be
done. THE DAILY NEws-all that it has been in
the past, as well as all that is rightly expected of
it in the future as a leader in progressive Ameri-
can jo~urnalism-can be produced and sold for
one cent a day, and this by reason Of those COM
mon principles Of trade which make possible
lower prices just in proportion as the aggregate
volume of sales increases. The DAILY News now
sells ovey a million papers a weeA, as shown by its
published sworn statements of circulation, and it
can afford to sell at a smaller profit per paper than
other Chicago dailies, no one of which has as
much as one-third the average daily. circulation

Tho high protective tariff has sue
ceeded in almost wiping out the great
pine forests of America. The remain.
ing forests are in the hands of q few
land barons who have made immense
fortunes. Sixty million people have
been compelled to pay tribute to pro-
tsct q few hundred men who have for
many years controlled the timber lands
of this country. Every man desiring to
build a little cottage to coysr his family
has been forced to pay price increased
by the amount of tariff duty charged by
the government. Lumber is one Of the
great necessities. Comparatively no
one is identified by the heavy tax pro,
fessed to be for its protection and it
should go on the free list for the benefit
Of tho millions Of consumers now in.
jured by unjust and burdensome tax.

To the region of Nebraska, to the lard
Of corn and wood. where tho hogs grow
large and healthy, came a smiling fruit
tree agent, when the snow all had melted.
And he tried to work the farmor, the
smooth and guileless farmer; but the
farmer rose in grandeur, rose upon his
stalwart hind legs, as the oak that has
been Bonded, when Its CALLING bonds are
riven, springs again. a giant upward. and
he spat upon his fingers, on his hands by
labor hardened, on his hands that titled
the prairie; and he girded up his middle.
with his belt Of ,awny leather, with its
shiny gilded buckle, SO his powerful
loins he girdsd. and he upward rolled
his sleeves of flannel upward. while his
wife stood by and watched HIM. Then
he seized the fruit tree agent, by his
shapely neck he seized him vaultcd on
his ample shoulders, and entwIncd his
limbs around him; then he rode him
round the f%armyaId, rode him through
the pleasant valleys, DER the smiling
saulit meadows. and he danced upon his
system, on his neck he danced a hoe
down.-Wslt Mason.

st. Paul Pioneer Press. Secretary
Villas is getting very liberal in his de-
cision in public land matters. He is
going Lamar n better every time he
gets . chance. He is improving upon
the most liberal practice of recent ad.
ministratlons, audis almost as generous
as q candidate before an election. For
instance. he has decided that a mortga.
gee is authorized to perfect a defective
final proof. This is a very important
decision In Dakota, as it makes it posi-
BILE for parties in interest, independent
OF the entryman, to complete cases where
the entryman are unwilling to further
testify, or where they have moved to an
unknown part o tthe territory. The sec
rotary also holds that a claimant can
get his money back where his final en-
try, presumption or homestead has been
cancled for failure to comply with the
law in the matter Of residence. In such
cases he directs the payment of the pur-
chase money. Heretofore it has been
held that there was no law authorizing
such repayment, and the claimant fail
ing to cure the defect lost both money
and land. The secretary gives a fresh
Interpretation to the timber culture law :.
Where a claimant has been contested
and it appears that he has five acres of
trees growing where he should have ten,
the secretary awards the contestant half
the land. not all of it, as the practice
has always been. This decision has been
set down as equity and is in harmony
with the rule that denies tho right of
one TO reap what he has not sown."

of THE DAILY News. The large addition to its
present million-a-week circulation, which will
surely come with its reduction to one cent a day.
will fully compensate for the reduced profit at
which each paper is sold. All this concerns the
reader only as assuring him that THE DAILY News
can reduce its price and at the same time maintain
its high character as the foremost newspaper of the
Norhwest-that a million-a-week circulation
makes the otherwise impossible entirely possible.
The present is peculiarly the time to inaugu-
rate this popular departure in American jour
nalism. The approaching Presidential election
widens immeasurably the field and opportunity
for II DAILY News as an independent, impartial,
fearless newspaper-one free from all the entangle-
ments CT mere partisan allegiance. The demand
is more and more for a newspaper which shall
give all the political news free from partisan color
ing, and which shall tell the absolute, unvarnished
fortunes Of this or that political party or candidate.
This demand The DAILY News aims to meet, and
at its reduced price it combines all the elements
which should make it literally everybody's paper.
To the thousands of new readers whose atten-
ton is now for the first time directed to THE DAILY
NEWS it is proper to say that they will find it
complete in all the essentials of the best Ameri-
can journalism of to-day. Its quality as a uezes-
paper proper is best indicated in the fact that it is
the only low-priced paper in Chicago or the
Northwest, which is a member of the "Asso-
|ciated Press" The other ASSOCIATED Press"
papers in Chicago, the Tribune, the Times and
Inter- Ocean all cost three cents. THE CHICAGO
DAILY News prints all Me ueaus and sclls'it for
one cent a day. Sold by all news dealers. Mailed.
postage paid, at $500 per year, or 25c. per month.
