(Mr. Bryan's Paper. J

% The Commoner has attained
six months from date
Of the first issue a circulation
of 100000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the
history Of American periodical
literature. The unparalleled
growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in
the newspaper field for a ma
tional paper devoted to the
discussion of political, econo-
mic and social problems. To
the columns of The Commoner
Mr.. Bryan contributes his best
efforts; and his review of polit-
zeal events as they arise from
time to time cannot fail to in
terest those who study public
questions.
The Commoner's regular
subscription price is s1.00 per
year. We have arranged with
Mr.. Bryan whereby we can
furnish his paper and THE
FARMINGToN TINES together
for one year for s1.70. The
regular subscription price OF
the two papers when subscrib-
cd for separately is 500.
