Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1894-11-26
CLUBBING TIMES.

The MONITOR, as heretofore, will be
dubbed with all leading periodicals,
and all our preparing subscribers Will
be entitled to one or dozen CLUB pa
pers, as they desire. Clubbing is
loss direct to the publisher, but he
does it to help his prepaying sub
scribers and to get advance payments.
The price of the MONITOR is $1.5O IN
advance; at this season OF the year
we give the paper the old year out to
new subscribers.
We have no combinations whereby
we cut the price of the MONITOR 25 or
30 cents to one subscriber, while we
charge the next man dollar and
half. This scheme only prevails
when publishers feel that their paper
will not stand alone and must be prop
ped up with something else. The
MONITOR will be printed on kind OF
paper that costs us almost exactly
double the price of the paper that
some of our neighbors are using.
We have not felt it profitable to our
selves or to our readers to use IN this
Office poor material, and to run dor
mant advertising to fill space. Our
readers are entitled to first class pa
per. and we intend they shall have it
in the MONITOR. If they want dol
lar "a year paper, it can be made.
The best city weekhes for the read
ers of the MONITOR are the Boston
Weekly Journal, The Boston Weekly Ad-
nertiser, The Nea1 Youk Tribune and
NeaU York Press. These are furnished
with the MONITOR for so cents each.
Another excellent political paper,
democratic, is the NelU York World,
which comes twice a week. This costs
65 cents, S2.15 with the MONITOR. We
can furnish the BrGttieboro Refornaer,
democratic, for 50cents to MONITOR
subscribers. This is an A 1 State pa
per and it's politics is not rank enough
to hurt a thin skinned republican,;
democrats will enjoy it. We can fur
nish the Burlington Free Press for 30
cents with this paper. The Free Press
is one of the very best papers in the
State We do not handle the Rutland
Herald. In order to do it, we must
break prices in combinations, which
we are not doing. The old and rell-
able Mirror and Former, always worth
more than the money! will be furnish
ed for 90 cents.
For the ladies we can furnish the
Ladies' Home Journal and the House
hold. each for rs cents Another ex-
cellent journal for the nome is DEM
orest,s Family Magazine. This costs
S1.6O. For a smaller periodical, al
ways reliable, Artbur's is good; it
costs So cents, club rates. The cheap
est magazine published rs the COsnao-
politdn, 81 80. 1t is a most welcome
monthly. The Youths Companion is
probably the best periodical for chill
dren of all ages, from ten to seventy, !
in this country. New subscribers get
it with the MONITOR for $3.50. If you
do not see our agents, send direct to
this office for the above or any other |
paper published.
The New York scheme of municipal
consolidation, known as "Greater
New York." was carried at last weeks
election by total net majority of 3d.
900 of all the people voting upon it.
New York city, Brooklyn, Staten Is
land, and Queen county all voted yes,
while only the Westchester towns
voted no, and their collective majori-
ty against it was only 532. The vote
was not binding, but was taken as
expression. The next legis-
lature will undoubtedly take steps to-
ward consolidation. New York city
is the more anxious for it, since the
registration in Chicago for the late
Election nearly or quite equalled that
bf New York. "Greater New York"
would have within it's limits a popu-
|ation of not less than 5000, 900 souls.
OF eleven democrats who helped to
|rame the Wilson bill in the commit
Zee of ways and means only three have
been reelected, while of the six re-
kublicans who steadily opposed the
etestable measure five go back to !
he House of Representative and the
ther is promoted to the Senate. =
