close herewith draft on New York for $8.25 for
which please send The Commoner to the fol
lowing persons for the ensuing year. I have
intended to subscribe to your paper for a num
ber of years but have always neglected it. This
morning a copy of your last issue came into ray
hands and I saw what you are attempting to do
in the way of circulation. Within twenty min
utes I had obtained the eleven subscribers whoso
names I have given. No man whom I asked
refused and all stated substantially the same
thing that tliey had intended for some time
to subscribe but had neglected it. Of course
I picked the men to ask. I believe that if some
one will take hold of it in the right way, he
can get several hundred subscriptions in Albu
querque with very little trouble. I shall try
to get the man to work.
Charles Stevens, Columbus, Kan. Please

article on the Protective Tariff and Panics, re
produced in last week's paper is a good one and
I would appreciate it very much if you would
send each of the above parties a copy of last
week's paper to begin with. I see you made
mention in your last issue of the fact that I had
sent 108 subscriptions for the week before and
I only mention this for the purpose of laying
ground for a further request. The above make
183 subscriptions, including the 108 referred
to, which 1 have sent you recently. If you will
kindly send me 100 sample coploa of hint
week's issue I will see they are placed in good
hands and in fact could use 200 of them if you
could have them to spare.
