TO THE PUBLIC OF MANAWATU. «. Facts are stubborn things, while words are cheap, m fact cost nothing. We might follow tbe silly example indulged m by some journalists (?) ancl make a seri.9 of announcements that one week we bad a circulation of 1000, the next 1200 ; the third, 1500 ; and so on, but would the public believe us. We think not. Tlie Manawatu Times is now five years established, and for nearly three years was the only paper published m the County, and although we admit — for it would be nonsense to deny it — the advent of other journals at Foxion and Feilding has prevented the large increase m it 9 circulation which tho progrnss of the ■ County would have given it, still its circulation at the present time is larger than before either of those papers came into exis fence ; and it lias a pretty'large number o? regular subscribers not only m those towns, but m Sandon Carnarvon, and on all other outlying loads m the County. As we before stated, we do not intend to make silly boasts for people to laugh at, but we say Frst, That the Times has a guaranteed number of regular subscribers one hundred and fii.y to two hundred m excess of any paper published m Palmerston, . .. -second, That its circulation m Palmerston alone is one hundred m excess of any paper published m Palmerston. Tiiiro, That h e? - f i e i> 8 larger circulation within the Borough, «c g i v _. a distinct pledge to prove by our bocks, that we have yearly subscribers all along the Foxton Stoney Creek, and Kangitikei Roads ; the towns of Foxton, Feilding, Sandon, Bulls, Marton, and Wanganui. Fourth, We are prepared to take the numbers printed each issue for the past mon' h, making a statutory declaration as to their correctness, if any other journal will do the same, and prove that we have a hundred and fifty of a majority m circulation. That is the way to let the public know whit.-h paper has a genuine, and which a brummagem cir..Nlation. If this challenge is accepted well and good ; if not let us then hear no more boasting which is as useless as it is ridiculous. We claim to have a genuine c'rctda^oi: — from year's end to year's end — di.tribii..-. aii over the County, and wp are prepared to substantiate the assertions made ;ibove by allowing an inspection of our subscribers' books ; we dare the paper which asserts that it has a circulation of four hundred and fifty to do the same, and if it can show subscribers to within any thing like a hunlred and fifty of that number, t'len we will give £5 to the Palmerston Hospital.
