Price of a Religious Newspaper.
By Editor
The editor of the Baptist Standard says: "By observation extending over a period of more than forty years, the conductors of the Standard know that it is impossible to publish a first-class denominational weekly newspaper at a subscription price lower than $2.00 per year. The cost of paper of good quality, of careful press work, fine illustrations, meritorious contributions, and prompt correspondence, is too great, until a newspaper is able to print, say, 50,000 copies weekly, to warrant any publisher of a denominational paper in making a subscription price less than $2.00. This statement applies, also, to other than Baptist journals." And this is true. The SIGNS OF THE TIMES is published at a very low price. Its circulation ought to be doubled.
