1t OF advertising IN The World IL what
establishes It's value among business men
as an advertising medium. They know
where to go to get the best returns for
their money. They go to The World
an expenditure there. Any business man
will tell you the same thing.
In my opinion The World liz valuable
to advertisers because II Is not the
creature OF IN class. II Is broad In Its
views. II gives both sides of every
question fearlessly. II bends rs knee to
no clique, either political or financial. In
n word. II Is the paper of the people.
Every one, rich or poor. may read 1t
with profit. Tha they do read II is be-
yoni dispute. Hence its value to adver-

RUSSELL sAGE'S OPINION.
II Is only occasionally that Russell
Sage. eminent ms a %financier. cares to
com before the public with his views.
People who now Mr.. Sage know that hi
has well-settled opinions upon all great
public questions. This being the case. a
reporter OF The World called upon Mr..
Sage yesterday to ascertain What he
thought OF The Worlds tremendous gain
In circulation. 1t was about 8 o'clock,
and the money lender Of Wall street
had about finished his business for
the day and was getting ready to 20
home. When he heard the question pro-
pounded by the reporter he looked up
and rmiled.
why certainly I know that The
World has a phenomenal circulation" he
said. land I know 1t because men OF the
high character OF the gentlemen who
have looked over The Worlds books
would not think OF undertaking a job
OF that nature unless they did 1t
thoroughly. When they say The World
has a circulation Of 433, 1877, o can make
up your mind that 1t is 50.
"1'd do not care to 20 into details as to
why The World las this great circula-
ton, because some OF the other news
papers might take what I said as an
implied criticism on their methods. ! nave
no criticism TO make on any one. but I
must say the way The World 10 rushing
along Is certainly amazing"
'Do YOU think that the attitude Of The
" orld upon the great financial questions
Of the day has had any effect upon the
circulation Of the paper?' Mr.. Sage was
asked.
~ most certainly do" he replied. THE
views OF The World upon the questions
Of the most vital interest to this country
rave been. in my judgment. most sound.
ihe World has stood for honest money.
II fought a great fight for this great
principle"
