Newspaper Circulation AnaIyzed.

Some people who have not
thought it out, think that compeii-
ton in newspapers will make adver-
tising cheap. In ninety-nlne cases
out Of a hundred in this and every
country it has made advertising
dearer and more difficult. 1t has
added new burden for business
men, to whom every newspaper pro
fesses to offer the blessings OF com
petition and cheap advertising space
Competition between two shops
might reduce the price OF sugar II i
had been sold dear by single shop
before, but competition, so-called
by the multiplication of newspaper
can never do such thing. Quit
the reverse. The obvious reason Il
