11 ma -Beew Notice of Tat 99 Statement. Fourth report of tho First Uuildinfj and Loan Atwocintioii from April 12, 1888, to July 15, 18S8: JIBCJCUTB. reat newspaper, Under the above caption the New York Graphic, some three years ago, published a critical feview of the growth of The Chicago Daily News, which sets forth 90 clearly some of the fundamental principles underlying the development of one of the phenomenal successes of later- 5 years that it will well repay a reading. To bring some of the Graphic's figures down to the present date, supplemental statements are parenthetically added by the present writer. much indebted for its remarkable growth in circulation to the persistent adherence on the part of the other Chicago dailies to tlie "blanket-sheet style of journalism.

Of all the people in America the average Chicagoan is most in a hurry and least inclined to wade through columns of verbiage and stuff. The Daily News is the only Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all the news, and at the same time the good sense to present it in concise form. The result of such a condition of affairs is that The Daily News prints more papers than all tlie Chicago dailies combined. In considering all the causes which have i (CoiidiuiYd from fifth IW-) 10-12 -7 28.M 1-3-0-7 9 22.1K) 21-23-25 8l-0G 16-18-20-22-24-26 CI. 25 15-17-13-2123-25 40 12-H 2 12.32 2-4-0-8-10 13 39.07 g-il-13 15 3-87 I'M 4 15 2.18 1.3.6 16 2.18 7- 9-11-13 1 e-14 10 16 1.G6 20-22-24-26 1 13 30.24 2-4-6-8-10-12-14 20 40.85 1-3-5-7-9-11 24 6.75 13- 15 117-19-21-23 25 25 6.55 17-19-21-23-25 35 3.53 20-22-21-26 25 3-53 1-3-5-7-9 36 4.86 8- 10-12 20 3 8( 1-3-5 27 4.20 3-5-7-9-11 28 4.50 4-6-8-10-12 '28 6.73 14-16 -28 2.04 21-04-26 28 4.20 C-l 29 1,74 8-10 30 1.84 12 30 97 426 2-17 1-3-5-7-9-11 32 5.5C 1-3-5-7-9 34 4.64 15-17-19-21-23-25 34 3.03 14- 16-18-20-22-24-26 34 11.34 2-4-6-8-10-12 36 5.55 1-3-5-7-9-U '37 4-65 212325 57 9.90 14-16-18-20-22-24-26 38 6.48 i 3 39 2.42 zz 39 75 25 39 91 10-1S-20-22-24 2G 41 4.65 1-6-8-10-12-14 42 4.53 20-22 42 3-16 i 23 43 81 12-14-16-18-20 45 1.77 '242G 45 2.02 2-4-6-8-10-12 49 3.79 The newspaper entitled to the distinction of having the largest daily circulation in America is The Chicago Daily News.

(Since this statement wa3 made it is possible that the growth of the Nezv York World entitles it to first place.) The Graphic to-day devotes a page to sketches of scenes in and about its establishment The history of this paper is probably without a parallel in the annals of American journalism. It was founded December 20th, 1875, 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 statement for 1887 shows a daily average of 165,376.) "In politics The Daily News is always independent, never neutral. While its editoral expression is sometimes vigorous to the degree of severity, there fs always in its utterances of opinion so manifest a purpose to be impartial and fair to all opposing interests, that it rarely loses the confidence of the reader, however much it may fail to bring him to an acceptance of its own view concerning the matter in 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 menber of the Associated Press.

It gives its readjrs 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 entered into and produced so phenomenal a jour- i nalistic -growth the most important one unquestionably has been the controlling conviction of its managers that the "cheap paper should be cheap only in price that its news should be as fresh and complete, its editorial discussion as able, and its general tone and character as pure and heathful as its best and highest priced cotemporary. All this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its reduced price. "The difference of revenue between the two-cent paper (even more so when the price is one cent), and the higher-priced blanket-sheet," the latter throws away in useless and unasked for size, that not only is of no worth to the reader, but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him to gleam what is of real news interest from a mass of verbiage and worthless amplication. It is because its managers have been wise I enough to practically recognize these essential elements of the best American journalism of to- day that The Daily News is the best and most popular general family newspaper published in( Chicago or the West." 31 34 38 39 .39 8 41 41 41 42 43 42 43 411 4 46 47 48 4tt 2 24 5 95 2 38 187 "92 4.54 8.67 7.70 82 1.47 3.03 1.79 4.66 H.

Certain it is ttai THE Daii.yNf.WS leads the van. THE Chicago Daily News is sold by all newsdealers at One Cent per copy, or it will be mailed, postage paid, for $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 former wjll now have his daily reports.
