The Cincinnati Tribune.

The circulation of the Cincinnati Tri-
bune is said to haye more than doubled
since the price of that paper was re-
duced to one cent daily, or eleven cents
a week including the Sunday issue.
The reduction to Cincinnati readers
took place on December 14th, and was
so eminently successful, the people of
Cincinnati and suburbs responding in
great numbers, that the publishers of
The Tribune decided on January 4th
to make fat rate on one cent, with
out any distinction as to where the
subscriber lives. In so doing, the Tri-
bune absolutely leads New York, Chi
cago, and other large cities where the
price of daily newspapers has been re-
duced, for the papers of these cities do
not give readers outside of the city the
benefit of the reduction.
