Although at first glance this subject appears to havebut little or no interest for the general reader, yet it is, or ought to be, of deep interest to him.1 Each and all jvant their paper to be as good as possible, to contain all the news and geneial information that it is possible for that paper to furnish, and they also w ish to pay as little money as possible for that paper. Were it not for advertising there - .tvould be no such thing as a two dollar weekly paper or a ten dollar daily unless those papers had a tremendously large circulation, such as it is impossible lor a county or even a state or territoii-a- l paper to attain. It s'arids the general reader in need, then, to know something about advertising as much as it does the advertisers themselves, for without the money received for advertising, no paper in Utah could live. As The Ensign is what is tended a county, or, probably more correctly, a country paper, we must therefore confine our remarks to that class c f papers and the claim they have on the business public aud otheis for their advertising patronage. Of course iu considering this matter the wel Iknown fact that a newspaper is a public expense, should be asserted and then would naturally follow the question, does the carrying of that paper justify the expense, or should the publishers and those who are employed upon the paper be engaged in some other business and the material used in some other locality? The answer we give to this question is that as far as the publishers of The Ensign are concerned, although they, are not yet being even Jaidy well paid for their labors have not yet come to the conclusion that their services are not required by the people living in the section of country represented by their paper, but are convinced by studying future prospects that their services will become more and moer urgently required. It is undeniable that a paper of even the dimensions and pretentions .of The Ensign is an important factor in the de velopment of its section of the country. Development is always benefical to the citizens but the question arises, is this aid sufficient to guarantee the expense? Of course to this question we will answer, as we verily believe, that it is. Well, says some, we cannot afford more than two dollars a year for vour paper and you say your subscription list is not sufficiently large to justify you in printing it for that, what are we to do? Our answer to this is, encourage adveitising. This you can do in very many ways, mist directly by using your efforts to extend the circulation of vour home paper as that increases the value of the advertising space to the advertisers, and by patronising the advertisers in preference to those who do not advertise, which you should as the fact that a business man patronises a home paper with his advertising is proof positive that his interest and exertions are not for himself alone, but for the country and section of which in which he lives. He wishes to live and let livelihd see his owu town and county march up the hill of progress. And now comes the other side of the question.
