voted to the discussion of political,
economic, and social problems. To tne
columns of the Commoner Mr. _ Bryan
contributes his best effortsjand his views
of political events as they arise from
time to time can not fail tointeiest those
who study public questions. .
The Commoner’s regular snbcnptio ^
price is $1.00 per year. We have arrang
ed with Mr. Bryan whereby we can fur
nish his paper and Homb JoubnaXj to
gether for one year for $1.90. The reg
ular subscription price of the two P
psrs when suberibed for separately
$2.50.
