He has just issued a circular letter to about 400 of the most prominent publishers of newspapers and periodicals, asking for information on the subject of pre- mium-giving to secure circulation. Ip order to secure a consensus of opinion Mr. Madden asks this question ;— “In the judgment of those address ed, will a departmental rule be regard- ed as iojuricus to legitimate newspa- pers aud periodicals, which will stop absolutely all premium inducements, direet or indirect, and of whatever character, for subscriptions? In other words, after a publisher has fixed a price on his publication, any bonus or premium given to the subscriber, or any combination with another thing except a second-class publication, shall vitiate that subscription in its relation to the second-class rates on postage.” Every honest publisher will admit that such a rule should be adopted and enforced. A newspaper that is with- out merit in itself bias no right to the privileges granted legitimate publica- tions. The premium system is detri- mental to all legitimate business, no matter what that business is, and should be abolished. There must be a begiuning somewhere, and the publish. er who offers a dollar's worth of goods with a dollar publication is the man who should be given the first dose. Next let there be laws enacted abol- ishing the giving of premiums with all ‘articles of merchantdise. Such laws would have a healthy influence on all trade, The Third Assistant Postmaster General estimates the loss of revenue by the Government carrying publica- tions not intended to be included in second-class matter between $15,000, 000 and $20,000,000 sonuslly, an amount sufficient to cover the defi. clency in the department more than twice over.
