not control. The peoples party has men

Tho Magazine Of the Future.

The July Cosmopolitan marks the
most radical step ever taken in periodical
literature, With this issue the magazine,
unchanged in form, In fact, one OF the
best numbers Of the Cosmopolitan ever
issued, will be put on sale at ~ cents
per copy-S1. so year. The cutting IN
half Of a price already deemed low for an
illustrated magazine is the result of an
intention long since formed. to give TO
the public an illustrated monthly of the
very highest class at such a price as must
bring it within the reach Of all persons
of intellectual tastes, however limited
their incomes. There are more than ten
million readers III the United States and
less than eight hundred thousand maya
zines are printed to supply their demands.
More than four years have been spent in
reaching the organization necessary for
the production of this magazine at this
price. a figure hitherto undreamed of by
the reading world. Each department of
the work has been slowly perfected. until
with the January number of this year
one hundred and fifty thousand copies of
the magazine were prepared upon presses
and machinery Of the most improved
form. built with a view to producing the
finest results at the very minimum of ex-
pense-the only establishment in the
world, 1t is believed, devoted exclusively
to the printing OF an illustrated monthly
magazine. To establish magazineupon
such basis at the outset was impossible.
Only the rapid growth Of the Cosmopoli-
tan's editions, almost unprecedented in
magazine records, has produced the con-
ditioDs which make this departure from
established prices possible. The COSmO-
politan promises to make. the year 1898
the most brilliant in its history. No
other year has seen such an array OF dis
tingulshed names as will appear on its
title page during 1S93 A feature OF the
July number is a triple frontpieces by
