THE Monument to General Grant
 AND The Weekly Mail and Express. You Gan Subscribe to Both at Once, HOW IS THIS? YOU ASK.
We Will Explain.

We Will Explain. The Weekly Mail and Express bas agreed with the Grant Monument Asso- ciaton that the entire revenue of the pa per from yearly subscriptions of two dollars each will be turned over to the FUND for the erection of NATIONAL MONUMENT to General Ulysses 5. Grant at Riverside Park, New York City. In other words, if you send Two Dollars to the WEEKLY MAIL AND EXPRESS you will receive the paper for a year and your money will be paid over to the GRANT MONUMENT FUND. You will thus receive a full equivalent for your money in a first class weekly newspaper and at the same time you will be helping to forward noble and worthy cause. The Weekly Nal and Express has fur ther evidenced its earnestness and sin certy in this work by subscribing TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS to the MON- UMENT FUND.
 The following letters are self-eNplana- tory:
