THE COUPON BUSINESS.
It is the right of every newspaper man
agement to conduct its business as it sees
tit. At the same time where that con
duct tends to mislead or to lower the esti
mate of the calling it is the lit subject
for free criticism.
Latterly a perfect craze seems to have
seized upon a very large number of news
paper managements for the "giving." so
called, of half-tone prints, books in parts,
cheap editions of complete volumes, etc.,
through the agency of what is known as
the "coupon." That is to say, a few
squares are fenced in by border in the
columns of a paper, numbered and
dubbed a "coupon." The reader is in
formed that the newspaper management
will make a present to whomsoever
will cut out one of the coupons and
mail it, with ten or fifteen cents added
(and a stamp for postage in most cases),
of a book, a part of a book, a group of
half-tone pictures, a music volume or a
copy of a cheap edition of a book, a list
of which books is often published.
This method of enabling newspaper
readers to obtain books and pictures is
announced as a special privilege; that it
is really a "gift" to the reader; that the
goods are supplied at nominal cost; that
these are ''the opportunities of a life
time." etc. We quote from one of the
"announcements":
Our readers can now avail themselves of
toil opportunity of a lifetime by cutting from
our coupon advertisement the coupon corre
sponding to the numbtr or part they wish to
pOMOW, and by handing it in at our counter,
together with tea cents, they will be presented
With the number the coupon calls for.
Coupons mailed to us will be honored by re
turn mail, when they are accompanied by
the ten <"ents and a two-cent postage stamp.
Aside from the fact that this elaborate and
charming work thus comes to each of our
readers in the shape of a practical gift—the
being scarcely that of the handling, what
little cost there is can be so distributed as not
to be felt. Cut and send your coupons now.
The faster they come in the more we shall feel
that our readers know a good thln^ when
they see it, and fully appreciate our eilorts to
provide them with the best of everything.
This is not legitimate newspaper busi
ness; it is not giving to the newspaper
reader; it is simply a money-making
scheme for the newspaper management.
On precisely the same level the news
paper office might as legitimately buy
grindstones by the wholesale and sell
them to its readers at retail. The coupon
is a bit of thimbie-rigging to blind the
eyes of the reader, and nothing more.
The newspaper proprietor would deal
more openly if he would announce that
over his counter he sold books, pictures
and grindstones.
For—we have a bushel-basketful of cir
culars from publishers of prints and
books proposing these schemes—these
articles sold by "coupon" are purchased
at a low figure from and by solicitation of
the publishers of worn prints and cheap
books.
For instance, plates and books sold by
coupon at ten and fifteen cenu are fur
nished to the newspapers at from rive to
seven cents each, so that the newspaper
proprietor, instead of "giving" to his sub
scriber anything, is making a clear profit
of 100 or more per cent, out of the sub
scriber.
True, it is said that the latter could not
in any other way procure the goods at so
low a rigure, but even if this be conceded
—which it is not—it in no wise redeems
the business from a low level of mislead
ing.
The manufacturers of chewing-gum do
very much better; they give to each per
son who buys a stick of the gum for five
cents, precisely what it has sold for all
along, a very handsome half-tone picture
of'the same character as those disposed of
in groups by the newspaper on the cou
pon plan.
If newspaper men are not satisfied with
the legitimate in their business, with the
fair and defensible system of clubbing
•with other journals, which is wholly un
objectionable, they should go out of the
business, and go to. peddling pictures and
cheap books and grindstones and sewing
machines and the like. Or they might
get up retail shops for the sale of these
article* bought in job lots—often worked
from half worn down plates—at rates war- I
I ranting 100 to 150 per cent, profit.
Every one of tbese coupon schemes is
promoted by some publisher who makes !
; the Droller to the newspaper. The former
ia not supplying books and pictures lor
his health, or the fun of the thing; he!
makes a rousing profit, be assured, and j
the newspaper go-between makes an- i
other. There is nothing even resembling j
gift-making or generosity ia it. The i
publishers themselves will sell to any one I
the same goods at the retail price charged i
by the newspaper, provided they have
not agreed with some newspaper in the j
section where the would-be easterner re
sides to give the payer the monopoly of
the "gift" bualiMM.
We have from one of the foremost of
these publishers a letter of recent date offer
ing to the Recokd-Union a much-lauded
World's Fair thirty-six part portfolio or
journal, of "superb" pictures and text,
on terms "involving no expense what
ever" to the Kkcohd-Uxiox, and guaran
teeing us a large profit at the expense of
our readers.
According to this scheme each of these
parts is to be furnished to us at 12 cents
net. we to advertise the scheme liberally,
to deliver the books only by the coupon
racket, and not to take less than 15 cents
for each part of the work.
These thirty-six parts to be delivered
to us for 12 cents each, or $4 32 for the job
lot, we are to declare to the public to
be worth $15 when bound in three vol
umes, and when retailed in parts to be
worth 25 cents each, or $l». But we are to
whoop it up to our readers, that by the
grace of the publisher we are enabled to
seil these same parts at 15 cents, or ??o 40,
by which transaction we would appear to
be giving the reader §3 60 worth of ad
vantage, while we would really make 1/2
cents for the counting-room.
Still another linn offers us goods of
similar character at 3 and 7 cents a num
ber, to be sold to our readers at 10 and 15
cents, assuring us a handsome profit by
the transaction. In one case we know of
a mass of cheap music is to be sold for a
half-dozen coupons and 25 cents. Yet it
is a fact that this same music is issued to
any one in monthly parts at §3 a year,
which is 25 cents a number—precisely
what the newspaper coupon-collector
pays for the same matter through the
newspaper indirect and peddling system.
All such schemes are illegitimate for
newspapers; they confess practically that
legitimate advertising does not avail tho
newspaper man; that he needs to tag on
to the newspaper business some other, to
boom it along. No one questions the
right of a newspaper to prostitute itself
to tbese schemes of publishers, but the
right to call the schemes by their proper
names is everybody's.
When the Record-Union goes into
any such business; when it finds that the
conduct of journalism is dependent upon
these supplemental rackets, it will try to
do better. It will not say to its readers
that it is about to "give" them anything,
except a good,TTean, independent news
paper for a fair price; it will, if it enters
j into peddling, invest at wholesale rates
in corn-shellers, harrows, brooms, coal,
hardware, furniture, drygoods and cloth
ing, and the tike, and announce its readi
ness to sell them at a decent profit, and it
will be content with something less than
100 per cent., and it will not bother its
friends by insisting that they shall cut
out coupons and go through the useless
j form of mailing them, together with a
stamp for reply. They can, on the con
trary, order the goods direct from us and
have them delivered as is other merchan
dise.
Just what our friends who deal in these
goods and pay license and tax fees for the
privilege and advertise their wares with
us, will say to it, we can imagine; but
when we go into that traffic we will
have so far illegitimatized the newspaper
business that we shall not care. Live the
coupon!
It is not derivable from the constitu
tional debates, nor from the Constitution
itself, that it was the intention that the
fact that a treaty is being negotiated with
another power should be kept secret. As
to what the negotiations are, what the
| proposed terms, there will be no claim
j that such things are to be bruited about.
But it was never intended that the inten
tion to negotiate a treaty should be kept
secret, and that no knowledge should be
j had by the people that such negotia-*
tion is afoot, and thus their opportunity
to petition be cut short. If custom
warrants such procedure, then it
is better that it be changed by
direct amendment of the fundamental
law. We cannot reconoile such proced
ure with the principles upon which self
governruent is based. If the Secretary
of Slate and the Chinese Minister were to
meet and prepare a new treaty there was
and eau be no ■ sufficient reason why the
fact of such conference being held should
|be concealed from the people. As to the
j details of the convention no one claims
that they should be noised about. The
surprise of the nation is great to-day that
a new Chinese treaty has been agreed j
I upon and sent to the Senate Committee.
In this matter it does seem that the dis
creet thing to have done would have been
to make announcement that the United
I States proposed to confer with China rel
ative to the formation of a new commer
cial or other treaty. That at least the j
ueople ought to have known. Unneces
sary secrecy in a Government such as
j ours is more than unwise—it is danger
ous.
♦
Without intending at all to boast over j
j our southern friends, we beg leave to j
call their attention to the simple fact that j
in the fair, open, public competition into j
which they entered at the Midwinter
Fair as to orange growth, the northern
citrus fields won honors. Butte County ;
took first premium for the best showing
I of boxed oranges for Eastern shipment,
and Southern California second premium.
J The accomplished horticulturist who was j
' at the head of the management of the
! competitive exhibit declared that the con
! test was perfectly fair and the awards un- j
| questionably just, There were three j

tinguish excellence beyond expectation.
In Australian Navel oranges, V. C. Seed
less, Improved Navels, P. R. St. Mich
aels, Handy Bloods, Pineapple, Ruby

went to Southern California. In Wash
ington Na\els, St. Michaels, Malta
Bloods, Parsln Brown, Imperial, Ho
mosassa, Duroi Beech, Magnum Bonum
and Peerless the awards went to North
ern California, mainly to Butte County,
and, as stated, to that county was awarded
first place for the best commercial boxes
of oranges. Tulare stood first for
seedlings, Valencia late, Jaffa and
Joppa. We ought now to have no
more sneering and belittling of sections
regarding citrus capabilities. The truth
is California is a citrus fruit growing
State in sections separated by hundreds
of miles, and between them there should
be only generous rivalry to do credit to
California as a whole.
A FEW weeks ago the RECORD-UNION
said:

rapidly. Slogging matches were too dull.

A San Diego correspondent calls our at
tention to the foregoing, and to the fact
that already itjis announced for the San
l)iego Fiesta to begin April 21st, that 011
the last day there will be a bull-light,
while at the Midwinter Fair a bear and
lion fight is to be conducted. Oh yes;
our tastes are being cultivated —back-
ward. We are fast getting down to the
level when brutality and savagery aloue
will satisfy the appetite for "sport."

An enterprising Hoosier declares that
he has opened promising negotiations
with ex-Quoen Liliuokalani to take the
lecture platform in the United States the
next season, and to appear upon tho ros
trum with the crown she was wont to
wear. That is an excellent scheme; but
the showman ought to have upon the
same platform some examples of the
bungling statesmanship and diplomacy
that played a part for the United States
in the whole farcical matter of the Ha
waiian ruction.
Unexcelled Fictional Literature.
Edgar L. Wakeman's story, "Sandomir
Leopold's Bequests/ which ia printed
elsewhere in this issue, is a powerful pre
sentation of the revolting scenes among
the llussian Jews who are knouted across
the border into Austrian Poland and
thence dispersed toward Southern Eu
ropean cities by brutal Austrian soldiery;
while the character of "Terose," a Tatras
maiden who is driven from her mountain
tribe lor succoring the outcasts, and the
linal scene of the story where the race
and religious hatred of centuries becorno
paugrless in the presence of death, are un
excelled in the entire realm of fictional
literature.

■JUST AT THIS SEASON.
, The Most Attractive and the Most De
ceitful ot All the Year.
This is the most dangerous season of the
year. It may be pleismit, may often seem at
tractive, but back of all tin 1 pleasant atmos
phere there is danger. This danger cornea in
j some form of sickness.
Almost any sickness starts with a cold or a
chill caused by the sluggish action of the sys
tem. That is why so many people just now
! complain of tired feelings.paiUß in the muscles
and bones, losu of appetite,, spring fever and
similar troubles.
The following is good advice lrom a promi
nent medical journal: "Pneumonia and otner
dangerous complaints, which result from a
neglected cold, can always bo. avoided if a
timely remejy Ik mken. When chilly .«ensa
tlous are felt they should be stopped imme
diately or serious consequences will follow.
There is only one way known to the world of
avoiding a cold or chills, and that is to use a
good, pure, «trou>,' stimulant. Nothing ordi
nary will do. It must be something sure in
its action and scientifically prepared. I'or
this reason nothing has ever equalled Duffy's
Pure Malt Wnisky. which is acknowledged
to-day by physicians and scientific men to be
the only pure medical whisky In rhe market."'
This valuable advice may be profitably fol
lowed by many people who arc suffering to
day lrom the early effects of cold, chills, or
r.ossibly grip in its advanced stages. Dairy's
Pure Malt Is always rel.abie and effective.
People should not, however, permitany dealer
to substitute something which is claimed to
be "just as good" or "about the aame thing."
Nothing else can possibly compare with that
which lias provon itself by years of use to be
the best and purest In the world.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $10
to $2O per Acre.
The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand E.cr<?s of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and •ettle
ment. This land embraces lands from flrst
:lass Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
rrom $10 to f2O per acre, in subdivisions of
10, 80, 120, 160 and 320 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
ire especially attractive. They will be sold In
mbdlvisiuna, us above indicate*, by the pay
ment of Interest only for three years, at which
iime the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first or five equal an
lual installments. Tuns no part of the prin
:lpal is to be paid for three years, and then
he purchaser is to have five years in which to
ilve equal annual installment*, with ln
; at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum,
ng payments extending over a period of
years. Intending purchasers are as
-1 that this is an opportunity to purchase
of fair average quality at $10 per acre,
md good agricultural land at f2O an acre,
yith other grades of land at prices to corre
ipond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made th»t good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es
secially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
iad in California for less than from 960 to
1100 an acre. An examination of the land
lubject of this advertisement will prove to
lome-seekera that this is an opportunity for
Ihase of good agricultural land at $20
and for qualities grading down to fair
ural land at $10 an acre, on terms o<
t which should make the disposition
lands to actual settlers a result easy 01
The primary object of the purchase of thii
tody of land was the breaking up of a largi
holding for the purpose of promoting Its set,
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
