A SUPERIOR PAPER FOR HALF
PRICE.
Editor Providence News:
Dear Sir: You ask what seems, per-
haps, to some people. n puzzling aues-
ton, How has the News increased its
circulation 300 per cent?" But TO any
person with an eye for newspaper read
Ing matter II is very clear. First-The
News Is the only city paper. which has
taken stand against immortality, in
which II Is trying TO rid the city OF the
land, namely, Crescent Park. Secondly
The News contains nothing but up-to-
date reading matter fit for any person
TO read; and taking those two points
into consideration, who is the fair-mind-
ed man, which L suppose Providence is
largely composed of. that will cast aside
the News. and buy an inferior paper. for
double the price of the only zone cent
newspaper In Providence, and only get
one-half the reading that is contained

WHY HE LIKES THE NEWS.
Editor of the News:
Dear Sir: The reasons why 1.-THE News"
has increased in circulation three hun
dred per cent. i'm the past five weeks, are
very obvious, to the observer of events,
I'm journalism in Providence. In tonights
issue of the News there is fine cartoon
showing Senator Aldrich hauling his troll
ley cars behind him. and blowing his
horn over the house tops, to the people
of Providence, and all whom II may con-
Germ. that there can be no free transfers
given. until he (the boss) sees MT 10 COM
ply with the just rights OF the citizens
and residents of this city.
That cartoon shows a a glance the rea-
son why the News will keep on gaining
in circulation. What we want in Provi-
dence Is an up to date newspaper that
will cry out aloud, for the rights of the
people, against those monopolies and
trusts that are robbing the people whole
sale; with utter contempt for the rights
of a long suffering people written on
their faces.
The News is undoubtedly the only news
paper printed I'm the city that will advo-
cate the peoples rights all the time. The
other newspapers seem to be dead heads
as far as having the peoples interests at
heart. One notices letters written to the
Providence Journal complaining OF the
inability OF the Union Railroad TO meet
the wants Of the people In various direc-
tions; and the writer's of them are almost
invariably reminded that letter written
to the directors or board OF managers
of the company might help them So it
is seen that from the Journal we must
not look for help in redressing our
wrongsOur hope lies I'm the News COM
ing right to the front. all the time. not
begging of the Union Railroad and other
monopolies but demanding the redressing
of grievances the people have had to put
up with for so long.
The News has increased in circulation,
because ii gives all the news OF the day
in a concise form, and IL only costs a cent
to buy II. The News is becoming more
popular because IL Is deserving the conf
dence of the people in its attempt to
open the eyes of the people to those
bosses and their colleagues. who go right
along continually robbing the people and
thereby getting rich at the expense of the
masses. Let the people OF Providence pat
ronize the News for by doing so we will
get our rights all the sooner; otherwise
we will be at the mercy of those unscru-

unspeakable Turk. or the yellow devils in
China. who thirst for the blood OF others;
the only difference being that instead Of
blood, II is dollars: dollars; all the time
in our city-pay; pay; pay.

ONLOOKER.
