The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1889-04-13
THEY WANT TIE EARTH.
So Jersey City Newsdeal-
ers Say of the New
York Papers.
BUY THE SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS.
1t Is the Best Newspaper to Be Had,
and Grows Better Every Week.

Five cents is Too much.
That is what the newsdealers say of the
prices put on the New York Sunday
papers.
They met in Stier's Hall, on the corner
of Jersey avenue and First street, last
evening, and although the session was be-
hind closed doors was able to learn some
thing of the transactions.
Every leading Jersey City man in the
business was there-thirty- ty-ive in all.
They talked very hard and were very
earnest in their denunciations of the out
rageous extortion price put upon the big
blanket sheets issued on Sunday by
the New York newspapers.
They did not effect any permanent Or
ganization. No officers were elected, and
they will not be until after the meeting
next Friday.
The Jersey City Newsdealers' Associa-
ton will then be organized.
Tney took no action last night. They
only uttered threats of severe action in
the future.
They want to see what the public has to
say, and what the public viii do.
They believe that there will be practi-
cal boycott of the high priced papers, and
then they may be able to force the price
back again.
THEY NEVER LIKED BIG PAPERS.
The great weight and awkward bulk OF
the Sunday New York papers has made
them very undesirable to handle for 3
long time, but the increased price is a
large consideration. OF course the news
dealers do not make the difference. They
do not even make their share of it.
Their increased percentage of profit
is the only thing the newsdealers could
find in favor of sitting still and accepting
the change in silence, and most of them
have an idea that the higher prices will
largely lessen the sales, SO that the final
result will be loss. and not gain.
THERE IS ONE CHEAP PAPER.
On the other hand there is one Sunday
newspaper which is not in the combina-
ton.
THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWs
That is the newspaper of the people, and
it will NOT change its price 1t may be forced
to print THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS
on twelve pages instead of on eight, but
there will be no such parodies on journal
ism as papers of twenty, twenty-four, and.
even thirty-six pages, after the manner of
the so called "news" papers of New York
And THE SUNDAY MoRING NEWS is good
reading, too, and popular with every one.
