during his residence had made many friend ? ,
who sympathize deeply with his beloved wife

Probably no one thing has caused such a
genera ! revival of trade at A.McMiIlen'sdrug
btorc as their giving away to their customers
of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is
simply enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it alv.ays cures and never
disappoints. Coughs , colds , nsthma. bronchi

quickly cured. Yoii cau test it before buj ing

Under the above caption the New York Graphic , some three years ago , published a critical J
review of the growth of The Chicago Daily News , which sets forth so clearly some of the | fl
fundamental principles underlying the development of one of the phenomenal successes of later |
years that it will well repay a reading. To bring some of the Graphic's figures down to the present H
date , supplemental statements are parenthetically added by the present writer. i\\\\ \ \
" The newspaper entitled to the distinction of
having the largest daily circulation in America is
The ChicagoDaily News. ( Since this state
ment was made it is possible that the growth of
the Neiu York World entitles it to first place. )
The Graphic to-day devotes a page to sketches of
scenes in and about its establishment. The his
tory of this paper is probably without a parallel
in the annals of American journalism. It was
founded December 20th , TS75 , and was the first
low-priced daily successfully established in the
West. At the end of its first year it had achieved
a circulation of about 10,000. From that time on
its growth has been remarkable. It now prints
seven editions daily , comprising both morning
and evening issues. Its statement of circulation
for the year 1884 shows a daily average of 125,178
copies , unquestionably the largest daily circulation
on the American continent. ( The sworn state
ment for 1887 shows a daily average of 165,376. )
" In politics The Daily News is always inde
pendent , never neutral. AYhile its editoral ex
pression is sometimes vigorous to the degree of
severity , there is always in its utterances of opinion
so manifest a purpose to be impartial and fair to
all opposing interests , that it rarely loses the con
fidence of the reader , however much it may fail to
bring him to an acceptance of its own view con
cerning the matter m hand.
"As a newspaper proper , The Daily News
has earned a reputation for enterprising news-
gathering second to none in the United States.
It is the only cheap paper in the West that is a
member of the Associated Press. It gives its
readers all the news worth giving and gives it for
two cents. ( Now it does it for one cent a day. )
"Aside from its own deserving merits as a
complete and cheap newspaper , it is doubtless
It seems hardly possible that an endorsement of merit could be framed in stronger terms than _ _ !
the foregoing analysis , and yet how much greater is not the achievement now that such a journal as H
The Daily News is placed in every man's hands at the reduced price of ONE CENT A DAY. l H
Tlit truly mansions enterprise of American journalism can hardly go farther. Certain itisthat The Daily Scks leads thevan. |
The Chicago Daily News is sold by all newsdealers at One Cent per copy , or it will be mailed , postage paid , for j H
$3.00 per year , or 25 cents per month. The attention of farmers is especially called to the fact that this metropolitan daily now _ _ _ _ _
costs but little more than the old time weekly. The shrewd farmer will now have his daily market reports. Address H

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu- j | H
lation to the persistent adherence on the part > |
of the other Chicago dailies to the "blanket- M
sheet" style of journalism. Of all the people in M
America the average Chicagoan is most in a hurry | |
and least inclined to wade through columns of ' M
verbiage and stuff. The Daily News is the only M
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all H
the news , and at the same time the good sense to H
present it in concise form. The result of such a H
condition of affairs is that The Daily News prints |
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies M
combined. ' H
"In considering all the causes which have * fl
entered into and produced so phenomenal a jour- 9 |
nalistic growth the most important one unques- ij H
tionably has been the controlling conviction of its * |
managers that the "cheap paper " should be cheap , H
only in price ; that its news should be as fresh and ! H
complete , its editorial discussion as able , and its H
general tone and character as pure and heathful H
asjts best and highest priced cotemporary. All H
this the "cheap paper" may easily be even at its j H
reduced price. M
" The difference of revenue between the two- H
cent paper ( even more so when the price is one | H
cent ) , and the higher-priced " blanket-sheet , " the j H
latter throws away in useless and unasked for j H
size , that not only is of no worth to the reader , H
but is even an annoyance , in that it compels him H
to gleam what is of real news interest from a mass M
of verbiage and worthless amplication. ' H
" It is because its managers have been wise flm\\\\\ \ \ \
enough to practically recognize these essential < H
elements of the best American journalism of to- j H
day that The Daily News is the best and most m\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \
popular general family newspaper published in > _ H
Chicago or the West. " .1 1
