THE COMMONER,
Mr.. Bryan's Paper.


The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue a
circulation of 100, 600 copies, record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for national paper devoted
to the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review of
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner's regular subscription
price is Sl.00 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
$1.5O. The regular subscription price of
the two papers when subscribed for
separately is $500.
