The MONITOR will soon issue club
list, and we shall give our subscrib-
ers the advantage of the reductions we
are able to get. We shall have few
special offers which will enable our read
ers to procure papers at low rates. We
shall not be able, however, to give any 10

the reason that the politicians have eX-
/ hausted their resources and are not giving
! the people political papers for song.
Look out for our list and special offers.
