P HE FACE.

The early proposition for tile celebration of the first century of American nationality was
simply patriotic, but it took on no definite form. As the people grew familiar with the idea
this vagueness drifted into the shape' which it has since assumed. Its present form seemed
the best, as it utilized the world's selfishness and made it give eclat to the occasion. "We
invited all peoples to exhibit their handiwork and products here among our millions of
customers and consumers, arid they accepted our proposition and did come, bringing with
them their inventions and their works.

All inventions which have benefited mankind in all ages had their origin in man's
longing for comforts. As the forests fell before the axe of civilization, the pick and shovel,
aided by steam, upheaved the coal from its beds where nature had stored it away cycles of
ages before ; as wheat fields replaced the felled forests, the invention of steam-plows and
agricultural implements to garner the fruits of the earth appeared ; as man craved inter
course with his fellow the world around, correspondence became a necessity, and the light
nings were laid under contribution to unite them ; and as civiDzation advanced, bringing in
its train a taste for luxuries unknown in ruder days, the heavens, earth and seas were ran
sacked by the scientific and plodding to gratify it. The first great Exposition of the world's
industry simply developed the extent to which man had advanced in economics a quarter of a
century ago, and incited other nations to emulate the. English in their adventure. The
displays in other lands which followed rapidly, testified to t'lo same desii'3 !'.>;• com
forts and luxuries ; and this, the latest Exposition, telling the- same story in tiic Y.'estern
Hemisphere, is a fitting memorial of the first century which has passed over these United
States. In the various buildings dotting the Park at Fainnouut may be seen the works of
art and usefulness which sprang from the necessities of mankind, and taxed inventive
genius and mechanical knowledge to contribute to their enjoyment. Necessity, like the
great central engine, which the hand of our President sent wheeling on its course, moving
the machinery through all the extent of thnt huge hall, has brought together the wise men of
the world with their offerings of " gold and frankincense," to lay them before the new dispen
sation H?" peace on earth, good will to men." Our mechanic; as he wanders through the
corridors of the buildings, may learn to estimate properly his works, b\ comparing them with
those of other lands. While ft was most proper and will be profitable that the works of the
world's busy artificers and artists should be here displayed, the initiatory steps for a fitting
representation of the unity, extent and progress of the ' Press" were not taken until long
after the inception of the idea of a suitable commemoration of our Nation's natal day. All
agree that the Press is potential and useful, and it was believed to have kept pace with other
industries, but none thought of specially exhibiting it in its entirety. Its scientific magazines
supplied the mental pabulum which fed the genius of our inventors ; its records of victories
in mechanics and useful arts have inspired others to experiment and effort ; its illustrated
journals presented to every citizen at most moderate prices the models of buildings, tools,
machinery, and whatever else was deemed desirable in this direction. It was elevating in
this land the standard of taste and work, and building up as its reflex the schools which
abound in our country. As an evidence of what we might have been without this instru
mentality, it may be well to point to nations where the press has no existence. In Egypt
there is not one paper printed in the Arabic language ; some few there are in French and
German, but not for the Egyptians, and the rudeness of the work of the general people
testifies to the lack of popular instruction through the power of newspapers. Track the
globe around, and those lands will be found most highly civilized and forward in catering to
their people's comfort where the press is most plentiful, free and powerful. On the banks of
a beautiful lake glistening between the Machinery Hall and the United States buildings
stands a modest house, costing but little in money and small in extent, yet in it are gathered
every newspaper and magazine published in this country.

There arc eight thousand one hundred and twenty-nine newspapers published regularly
in the United States. The combined issues of all the other nations of the earth do not equal

this number. An exhibition of a sample copy of each of all these thousands of periodicals
would hardly convey an adequate idea of the importance of journalism in this country, yet
it would do something- towards that end ; and believing that it would not be practical to
attempt more, Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co., in the early spring of 1875, addressed the
Centennial Commission, making application for space iu the main building, estimating that
room would be required for fifty volumes of two thousand pages each. This was before
the departments were thoroughly organized, and no response having beeu made to their
formal application, the matter waited in abeyance until September, when it was again
brought up by General Joseph R. Hawley, President of the Commission, aud an exhibition
was finally arranged, as set forth in the following correspondence :

GEO. P, ROWELL & Co., New York City, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17, 1875.

Gentlemen: — Some time ago I made a memorandum that I must write you concerning an
exhibit of the American newspaper, that wonderful feature in American civilization. It
seems to me that an exhibit of its progress during the century and its present condition
would be exceedingly interesting. Could every existing American periodical from semi
annual down to daily'be shown ? How and where ? Have you any scheme .in mind ? Can
you submit a plan ? Can yon come here and talk it over ? Respectfully yours,

J. R. HAWLEY, President U. S. C. C.

GEO. P. ROWELL & Co., New York, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20, 1875.

Gentlemen : — I have just read your note of the 18th. By all means develop the project.
There ought to be a presentation of the periodical press of 1776 and 187C. * *

Do not forget this matter. Hastily yours, JOSEPH R. HAWLEY.

GEO. P. RO\VELL, 41 Park Row, New York, PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15, 1875.

Dear Sir: — Did I answer your letter ? I'm not sure. * * * I shall be

glad to see you, for your exhibition ought to be made. The American newspaper is a peculiar
institution— a special feature of American political and general education.

Hastily yours. J. R. HAWLEY.

GEO. P. ROWELL, ESQ., PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20, 1875.

Dear Sir .—Your application for space in the International Exhibition for a display of
sample copies of every periodical in the United States has been placed before me for consid
eration. It has been suggested that such an exhibition would be very much more attractive
and interesting if an outside pavilion were provided for that purpose. * * * *
I most cordially commend this suggestion to you, with the hope that the newspaper interest
of the country will join in providing such a pavilion, which would be a distinctive feature of
the Exhibition. * * * "* * .

Yours very respectfully, A. T. GOSHORX, Director-General.

GEO. P. ROWELL. ESQ., PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12th, 1876.

Dear Sir : — AVe have a number of applications similar. * * * * It is not
my intention to grant any other privilege of this kind. Yours verv respectfully,

A. T. GOSHORN, Director-General.

MR. GEO. P. ROWELL, FAIRMOUXT PARK. PHILADELPHIA, 1876.

Dear Sir .—I have made a new design for your building, aud will send the drawings to
you in a few days. Yours respectfully, W. J. SCHWARZMAXN, Architect.

MESSRS. GEO. P. ROWELL & Co., PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15, 1876.

Gentlemen.- — * * * * I called Mr. Schwarzmann's attention to the sub
ject of your letter yesterday, and he will transmit to-day or Monday the plans for your
'proposed building. I hope very soon to be advised definitely of your success m securing the
Exhibition. Yours very respectfully,

A. T. GOSHORN, Director-General.

GEO. P. ROWELL, ESQ., EAIRMOUNT PARK, PHILADELPHIA, 1876.

Dear Sir : — I sent you to-day by Adams' Express the drawings for your building. The
general arrangement and construction remain the same.

Yours respectfully, W. J. SCHWARZMANN.

GEO. P. ROWELL, ESQ., 41 Park Row, PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29, 1876.

Dear Sir : — I am right glad you are going ahead with your work. It will be as distinctive
and interesting an American exhibit as we shall have on* the grounds. *#,-**
lours truly, J. R. HAWLEY.

It was now decided to attempt a much more comprehensive display than had first been
thought of. Instead of a sample copy of a paper, every publisher was to be allowed to ex
hibit a file for several weeks or months, and in place of being bound up in heavy volumes
it was arranged that every paper should be made instantly accessible, and the exhibition
thus serve the additional purpose of a monster reading room and an exchange for newspaper

About this time Messrs, llowell & Co. received a communication from a well known
printer (Peter C. Baker, Esq., of New York), who has devoted much time to the interests of
the craft. He writes as follows :

'•The .

best specimens of tli
Avill show what rapid
the artist and engraver.

" But what is the Newspaper and Periodical Press doing to show that in this department
especially our country surpasses all other nations of the world ? I have not yet learned that
any positive arrangements have been made to give tangible evidence of the immensity of the
newspaper and periodical interests of our country, and therefore I very respectfully and ear
nestly suggest that immediate steps be taken to take this important matter in charge, and
prepare a plan by which a copy of every newspaper and periodical published in the United
States be collected and shown at the Centennial. No feature of the exhibition would !>e more
effective than this to show the world the general intelligence of our people, and make plain
the secret of the success of our republican experiment."

Other communications of a kindred tenor came from unexpected sources.
Being thus encouraged, plans were perfected and adopted. A prominent position was
assigned the Newspaper Pavilion by Director-General Goshorn on Fountain Avenue.

The above engraving represents the exterior. The following description first appeared
in the New York Sun of February 14th :

" The plan of exhibition is an alphabetical arrangement of partial files of each newspaper
or periodical in such a manner as makes them instantly accessible, the space devoted to each
bearing a label with the name of the publication printed thereon, and further designated by
a number, by means of which a stranger, upon reference to his catalogue, is able at once to
approach the section of the building where the particular journal which he desires to examine
or refer to may be found.

" The cases containing these files form alcoves similar to those in public libraries for the
arrangement of books, these alcoves forming long tiers, one on each side of the building,
throughout its entire length, a portion of the space between being reserved for the accom
modation of attendants, leaving a passage-way for the public eighteen feet in width, extend
ing from one end of the structure to the other.

" The second story, approached by four flights of stairs, is devoted to reading rooms for the
accommodation more especially of newspaper men. and supplied with conveniences for cor
respondents.''

A better impression of the interior architecture may be obtained frojn the following writ-

PREFACE.

ten after an examination of the plans by GAR, the accomplished (lint decidedly critical) cor
respondent of the New York Times, in its issue of February 20th :

" The building is of timber and very neat. It has a length of sixty-seven feet, -with a width
of forty-six feet, and a total height of thirty-three feet. From the exterior it appears to bo
in two stories, but the centre of the building is only one story, and is a very fine chamber,

with ample light and space.
The whole is arranged with
that precision and mastery
over details which have
gained for ^fr. Rowell his
celebrity as a business man.
The alcoves arc fairly lighted
by windows which occupy the
entire space between them,
so that there is no difficulty
in obtaining the wished-for
file if the directions furnished
are followed. The height of
the side chambers where
these alcoves arc placed is
eight feet, and over them arc
the writing galleries, \vherc
numerous desks are placed.
Nothing can be simpler or
more efficacious than this
system, which, undoubtedly,
is the very best that could
have been devised. The gal
leries are lighted by rows of
windows corresponding to
those in the alcoves below,
and by the large transom
windows at each end. In the
facade this window is set
back from the gable roof
about five feet, and a. very
effective ornamentation of

radiating, incised planking is introduced, which relieves very pleasantly the simplicity of the
structure. The interior is perfectly ventilated by a large lantern roof, and therefore the
building deserves the praise of being thoroughly lighted, thoroughly ventilated, and of being
admirably arranged for the desired purpose.''

The cost of the structure, with its fittings and furniture, has not fallen short often thou
sand dollars, while the necessary attendants, books, blanks, together with the compilation
and distribution of a large edition of a three hundred page catalogue, require another allow
ance of a similar amount. In the mere item of postage more than twelve hundred dollars
was expended before the opening day of the exhibition. When it is remembered that no
less than two hundred and fifty dollars' worth of stamps are required to communicate once
with all the publishers, the rapidity with which these items count up is readily comprehended.
But with all these matters Messrs. Rowell & Co. had abundant experience. Further
more, through intimate relations with the press of the country, extending over a period' of
more than ten years, they had always been seconded* in a most generous manner. They
were therefore fully convinced of two things : First, that their efforts would be appre
ciated by publishers to such an extent that the entire expense of the exhibition would be
returned to them ia the form of voluntary subscriptions. Second, that should this fail en
tirely, the exhibition would be worth its full cost as an advertisement of their own business,
as conductors of the most complete newspaper advertising agency In the world.

In their application to publishers to send their papers and contribute towards the eiitei'-
prise they made the following pledge :

' The Exhibition will be made precisely as set forth, even if there should not be a single
subscription offered.'*

P R E F ACE.

Events hare shown that their faith in the good-will and intelligent co-operation of
publishers was not misplaced.

The proprietors of leading journals responded with such promptness and generosity that
they may be said to have themselves assumed the cost of the exhibition.

An opportunity to contribute to the money expense was offered only to Representative
Newspapers, and it is believed that among those of prominence which have neglected to
respond not one has done so from an unfriendly feeling towards the enterprise, but mainly
or solely from the pressing call for an economical management of expenditures which tho
stagnation of business for two years just past has made so loud in many establishments
deemed prosperous.

Nothing but good-will has been evinced from the beginning. No disparaging word has
appeared in any respectable journal, while favorable comments have filled the columns of tho
press from Maine to Oregon, from Florida to Texas.

One of the most pleasing features has been the handsome manner in which Messrs.
Rowell & Co. have been encouraged by their brother advertising agents, as evinced by
the following extracts from letters received :

February 22, 1876. )

We are pleased to learn that you have made arrangements to erect a building on the
Centennial Exhibition grounds, in which to keep complete files of the newspapers of our
country for the use of the public, and that you will also have good accommodations f < r
editors', reporters, publishers, and others connected with the press. The enterprise could
not be in better hands, and we hope and believe it will prove a great success.

Yours truly, S. M. PKTTENGILL & Co.

I know of no one more competent to carry out the arrangement than yourself, and it
assures me at ouce|of its success. I will render all aid possible.

Tours very truly, HORACE DODP.

BATES & LOCKE'S NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AGENCY, )
NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 1876. )

Your proposed exhibition of American newspapers at the Centennial not only deserves to
succeed but will certainly do so, because you are a good man to have it in charge, and lie-
cause you will surely have the cordial co-operation and good wishes of all persons in any
wise connected with the newspaper press.

Yours truly, J. H. BATES.

That Philadelphia agents were the only ones not joining in these expressions is doubtless
of greater apparent than real significance.

Americans are a nation of newspaper readers. There are papers for girls and boys,
for teachers and taught, for trades, arts and sciences, for the lovers of the wonderful, the
religious, the agriculturists, the metallurgists — in a word, the physician, as he rides to the
expected birthplace of some young patient, and the undertaker, as he drives to the house
of mourning, must each have his paper to Avhile away his time. The opening exercises of the
10th of May were read by millions in every part of this land, and carried to distant countries
by the press and the aid of the telegram it called to its use.

Good men are not afraid of criticism by the press. It makes statesmen and unmasks
hypocrites ; it incites to great deeds ; it brings to every man's door the record of progress
made in every department of learning and activity ; it develops science, and whiles away the
tedium of heavily hanging hours It fits out exploring expeditious to discover new fields for
civilization ; it lays before its readers the doings of the world's busy multitudes, the fall of
empires, the uprisings of nationalities, the record of the Storm-king's progress around the
world, the decisions of the forum, the acts of governors and legislators ; it tells the farmer
what to plant and when ; it develops the latest inventions ; it weighs in the nice balance of
purity of motive the deeds of the ruling powers ; before it the unjust tremble, and on its pages,
as on the walls of the ancient banqueting hall, the wicked rulers may read, " weighed in the
balance and found wanting" ; it stirs the heart of benevolence to greater deeds of charity.
it inspires the desponding, deters the plotters, and from the ruler to the humblest citizen, it
throws its Minerviau aegis around all alike. It is the voltaic pile, where is contained the
vitalizing power of a universe. In this little Newspaper Pavilion, which may not be visited
by all who go to the Centennial, are deposited the thousands of papers which mould Ameri
can sentiment. At Virginia City one may go down the shaft of a mine which, in the dark
and dismal rocks, is pouring out constantly a stream, of molten silver to enrich man. Few
will venture into those profound depths fiom curiosity alone, but the men at work keep right
along turning out the precious nietal for man's delectation and their own profit.

In these grounds is exhibited a nugget of silver said to weigh two tons, the product of one
of those mines. Thousands of curious men and women are drawn about it, and look wou-
deringly and wistfully upon its huge form. It represents to man's cupidity just so much of
life's happiness. But thieves may break through and steal such treasures. A short distance
from this mass of metal stands the modest house where are clustered the fruits of ten thou
sand minds, printed so plainly that a wayfaring man. though a fool, need not err therein.
Who thinks of the toiling thousands of earnest literary men and women, scattered over our
states and territories, who waste midnight oil in preparing that mental food which, enduring
when silver and gold have taken to them wings and departed never to return, proves to be
a lasting comfort ?

Newspapers are the synonym of goodness and virtue, however much some men may affect
to despise them. It was a labor of almost infinite trouble to gather these papers from all
quarters, but the work is a great success, and there is no worthier place to visit than the

Extract from NEW YORK TIMES, June 14, 1875.

Ten years ago Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co. established their Advertising Agency inXew
York City. Five years ago they absorbed the business conducted by Mr. John Hooper, who
was the first to go into tins kind of enterprise. Xow they have the satisfaction of control
ling the most extensive and complete advertising connection which has ever been secured,
and one which would be hardly possible in any other country but this. They have succeed
ed in working down a complex business into so thoroughly a systematic method that no
change in the newspaper system of America can escape notice, while the widest informa
tion UDOU all topics interesting to advertisers is placed readily at the disposal of the public.

HISTORICAL AND STATISTICAL DATA.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

NEWSPAPERS IN 1776.

The first American news paper was printed in Boston, Sept. 25, 1690. It was issued
by Richard Pierce and published by Benjamin Harris, and was intended to be pub
lished once a month, but was immediately suppressed by the authorities. The only
copy known to be in existence is in the State Paper Office in London. The Boston
News Letter, published by John Campbell, appeared April 24, 1704, being issued weekly
until 1776. It was followed by the Boston Gazette, Dec. 21, 1719, and by the American
Mercurie, issued by William Bradford, at Philadelphia, Dec. 22, 1719. On Aug. 17,
1701, James Franklin, elder brother of Benjamin Franklin, established at Boston the
New England Courant. Oct. 16, 1725, William Bradford, the founder of the Mercurie at
Philadelphia, began the publication of the New York Gazette, the first paper issued in
that city. In 1728 Benjamin Franklin established in Philadelphia the Pennsylvania
Gazette. In 1754 four newspapers were published in Boston, two in New York,
and two in Philadelphia. The Virginia Gazette was then printed at Williamsburg,
having been first issued in 1736 by William Parks, who had previously given to the
public for nine years the Maryland Gazette, at Annapolis. In 1776 seven journals
were published in Massachusetts, one in New Hampshire, two in Rhode Island, four
in Connecticut, four in New York, nine in Pennsylvania, two each in Maryland, Vir
ginia, and North Carolina, three in South Carolina, and one in Georgia; in all thirty-
seven. All were weeklies, with the exception of the Advertiser, of Philadelphia,
which was semi-weekly.

NEWSPAPER STATISTICS IN 1876.

By the " American Newspaper Directory " for the current year, 1876, there
appear to be now published in the United States and Territories, 738 daily, 70
tri-weekly, 121 semi-weekly, 6,235 weekly, 33 bi-weekly, 105 semi-monthly, 747 monthly,
13 bi-monthly, and 07 quarterly publications, making a total of 8,129 of all kinds.

Of the journals published in the country, the State of New York furnishes the
largest number. Of all kinds, New York State prints 1,818; Pennsylvania follows
with 738; Illinois is third ; and then come in regular order Ohio, Iowa, Missouri and
Indiana, all of which outstrip old Massachusetts, although she issues nearly 350.
Only ten States print as many papers of all kinds as California, which ranks fourth
in the number of its dailies. It seems to be peculiar to the new States at the West
that they sustain daily papers. In many places the first newspaper established will be
a daily, while in the old towns at the East such a thing was never heard of. Until
within one or two years Florida has never had a daily paper.

At the present day it Avonld seem that the United States print more newspapers
than all the other nations of the world. Their growth has been rapid even in pro
portion to the increase of population. In 1776 we find we had thirty-seven papers
and three millions of people. Now we have eight thousand papers and forty millions
of people. These figures show that whilst one hundred years ago we printed one
newspaper for every 30,000 souls, we now print one for every 5,000. This can be
accounted for only on the hypothesis that the people are now more in the habit of
reading than formerly. At the time Independence was declared probably no family
took more than one paper, while now many take several.

NEWSPAPERS DEFINED.

A newspaper is defined by Webster to be " a sheet of paper printed and dis
tributed at short intervals for conveying intelligence of passing events." In com
piling a "Newspaper Directory" it is necessary to exercise a good deal of care to
be able to say what should be called a newspaper. The definition given by Web
ster cannot be taken as an accurate description of the present-day newspaper, for
numbers do not contain any news, while many sheets which do, are not considered
newspapers. All the amateur publications, for example, are excluded, though the
number is quite large of those printing considerable news; and many sheets devoted
especially to advertising the business of some man or firm are also omitted. On the
other hand, books and magazines— everything published at regular periods not ex
ceeding three months— are classed as newspapers.

There has been of late a large increase of what are called " class papers." It is
being recognized that every interest must be supported by a paper. There are relig
ious papers, agricultural papers, commercial papers ; those of a financial, insur
ance, masonic, and temperance complexion, and so on through the whole list of
interests and isms. The class papers in many cases are very successful. They seem
to be in receipt of an excellent advertising patronage, and for the obvious reason that
they are taken by people to Avhose interests or theories they are specially devoted,
so that when one wishes to communicate with this particular class they are par
excellence the channels. An advertisement in the Scientific American will reach
many thousands of mechanics, while the same advertisement in an ordinary paper
would be read by possibly the same number of or more people, but by fewer mechanics.
So an advertisement in the American Builder might reach more carpenters than one
in the New York Times, although the circulation of the latter would surpass that of
the former many times.

ADVERTISEMENTS THE LIFE-BLOOD OF NEWSPAPERS.

Among the newspapers which have been most successful in 'obtaining wide
spread circulations are certain story papers and Sabbath school journals, which do
not contain news, and some of which are without advertisements. That some such
journals can rely for profits upon their circulation for remuneration, does not
render it less a fact that the advertisement is the life of newspapers. Daily
papers are, in many instances, sold to newsboys at a price so low that it hardly
pays the cost of the white paper on which they are printed. The editorial expenses,
the setting of the types, the expensive presses, the magnificent incomes of the pro
prietors, are all the result of the advertising. Without the fast presses of to-day
the editions of 50,000 copies could not be printed in two or three hours of a night
as now, and but for the advertising patronage the papers could not be afforded at
the low prices which make possible the immediate sale of such enormous numbers.

NEWSPAPER INCREASE.

The number of new papers started during the past five years has averaged not
fewer than six per day, but the actual increase has been only tAvo thousand one hun
dred and seventy-nine. Suspensions and consolidations account for the balance.

Since May 1, 1875, thirteen hundred and sixty-six papers have commenced pub.
lication (an average of over four for each laboring day), and one thousand and
ninety-seven have suspended. That the circulations are below what they were one
year ago is also more than probable.

The States in which there has been an increase in number are: Arkansas, nine;
California, twenty-eight; District of Columbia, eight; Georgia, five; Illinois, sixty-
five; Indiana, eighteen; Iowa, twenty-two; Kansas, six; Kentucky, nine; Maine,
one; Maryland, two: Massachusetts, ten; Michigan, eleven; Minnesota, two; Mis
sissippi, five; Nebraska, seven; Nevada, two; New York, two; North Carolina, one;
Ohio, thirty-one; Oregon, one; Pennsylvania, thirty-one; Texas, eighteen; Virginia,
five; Wisconsin, eight; Territories, six; Dominion of Canada, twelve.

There has been a decrease in the following States : Alabama, six; Connecticut,
two; Delaware, one; Florida, one; Louisiana, one; Missouri, twenty-three; New
Hampshire, three; South Carolina, seven ; Tennessee, five; Vermont, five; and in
Newfoundland, two.

States, thirty-four ; Western States, one hundred and forty-seven; Southern States,

INFLUENCES WHICH EFFECT NEWSPAPER CIRCULATIONS.

It is interesting to. consider what influences chiefly contribute to extend or
limit the circulation of papers. One reason why those of New York State should
have a larger circulation than their contemporaries in the West is that the Occi
dental States are largely peopled by emigrants from the Eastern, among whom
there is a tendency to take a home paper. This swells the sale of Massachusetts
and other New England papers. Another reason : New York is the metropolis
of the country, the headquarters for all sorts of information ; and the knowledge
of this contributes to make people in every part of the country seek after the
New York journals. It was notorious in the time of the war that the armies in
the battle-field, officers and men, waited for the New York papers in order to get
accounts of the battles they fought, as no others gave them so fully and accurately.

The leading morning papers of New York neai'ly all sell for four cents, but in the
Western States five cents is the general price. Since, however, the hard times
penny papers have come into fashion again, and it is quite a remarkable fact that
most of the leading papers of the country were first brought into favor and notice
as such.

The number of daily newspapers which stereotype their forms and use dupli
cate machinery is very limited, New York having as many as all the rest of the
country combined.

The newspaper seems to be an institution specially calculated to advance in
this country. Everybody reads it. Many men and women of more than ordinary
intelligence read nothing else; and it would be wrong to assume that such do not
educate themselves respectably, for he who studies thoroughly a well-conducted
New York daily will not be badly informed on matters of importance. The neces
sities for newspapers seem to be endless. Politicians want them to advance their
political interests; rings want them to influence the public mind; the public de
mands them to keep itself informed , religious denominations require their aid to
propagate their distinctive tenets, and so on.

MODERN PRINTING PRESSES.

In the matter of printing presses there has been a great change in ideas in the
past ten years. The Walter press, which has many points in its favor, is the only one
used in the office of the New York Times. The St. Louis Republican also employs one of
these machines. The Bullock press has superseded the Hoe in the New York Herald,
Sun, and several other offices. Both these presses print from a continuous roll of
paper. This feature alone implies a considerable saving in the working expenses
of the press room. Another advantage they possess is their great compactness —
a quality of much importance in large cities where room is scarce and expensive.
The Bullock press is specially remarkable for this, and, other things being equal,
bids fair, by virtue of its excellence in this regard, to advance to the very first rank.
The Hoe press retains its position in most of the important offices outside the metro
politan cities, and is still used by the New York Tribune. Several manufacturers
compete for the patronage in lower-priced machines. In the smaller weekly offices
the old hand-press holds its own, and their sale is greater now than ever before,
amounting to several hundred yearly.

WHAT KIND OF NEWSPAPERS THE PEOPLE WANT.

An impression prevails, particularly in country places, that the public want a
large sheet of paper. The country newspaper publishex~ will almost always increase
the size of his sheet if he can get advertising enough to pay the actual cost of the
enlargement, and yet have no thought whatever of making a better paper. The
notion that he is publisher of a large paper seems to gratify his pride. This idea
that a big sheet is desirable would seem to be delusive, because we find, ingoing

over the successful papers of the country, that those which really pay the best are,
as a rule, the small ones.

NAMES OF NEWSPAPERS.

The publications of all kinds described in the " American Newspaper Direc
tory " for 1870 are represented by 7,G2G titles. In many cases several editions are
issued from the same establishment, under substantially the same name, and in
the figures just stated such several editions are counted as but one. The Journals are
the most numerous, there being 487. Next in favor stand the Times. These num.
ber 310. There are 302 Heralds. The News number 298. The total of the Gazettes is
276. The Democrats come next in point of numbers, 268. To offset the Democratic
phalanx there are 211 Republicans. The Advertisers number 92, and are naturally most
frequent in localities where the populace is the most enlightened and progressive.
There are 122 Advocates. This name appears to be a favorite of the religious pub
lications, and at least three-Qfths of the total are borne by religious papers. There
are 60 papers known as the Argus, and with this quantity of professed eye-power, it
is amazing that the frauds heretofore existing for years were not sooner discovered.
There are 58 Bulletins, which are undoubtedly perused with care by the 51 Citizens
described in the "Directory." Of Chronicles there are 89, while 143 Courier* stand,
in expectancy, ready to depart with 34 Dispatches. There are 89 Enterprises, most
of them being located in the West. There are 45 Expresses, 34 Farmers, and 20
Globes. One of the latter is the Flint Globe of Michigan, and another the Golden
Globe of Colorado Territory. Just 133 papers keep on the safe side by being Indepen
dents, though 49 Leaders are ready to direct them. There are 34 Ledgers, 47 Observers,
and 16 Pilots. One of the latter is the Storm Lake Pilot of Iowa, and another the
Lone Rock Pilot of Wisconsin. Each of these is remarkably co-incident in respect
to the name of the place and the name of the paper. There are 59 Posts, 122 Registers,
and 95 Reviews. The country enjoys the guardianship of 144 Sentinels, one of which
is the Lone Tree Sentinel of Iowa. There are 76 Standards, Si Stars, bQSuns, and 93
Tribunes. Among the unusual or striking titles are the Bistoury (Elrnira, N. Y.), Jim.'
plecute (Jefferson, Tex.), Luxapililan (Fayette C. H., Ala.), the Card Basket — a society
paper -of Washington, the Hope Star of Hope (Ark.), Tfiistleton's Illustrated Jolly
Giant (San Francisco), China Mail and Flying Dragon, the Elm Leaf (East Hartford,
Conn.), the Eulenspiegel (Owl's Mirror) of Chicago, Jejferson Republican, the Southern
Cross— a. Catholic paper— of Savannah, the Egyptian Press (Marion, 111.), Hoosier
Patron and Lady Granger (Indianapolis), Hoosier State, Union Spy — there is only one —
Condenser, Meschacebe, Wide Awake — a literary paper — Iron Home (Ishpeming, Mich.),
Morgan's Watch-tower (Mt. Pleasant, Mich.), the Ricochet (Oxford, Miss.), Blatter und
K ladder adatsch, the Schnedderdengg, Freedman's Monitor and Workingmari1 s Looking Glass
(Phila.), the /. C. B. U. Journal (also in Phila.), the Four Counties of Richmond, Texas,
the Ventilator and Golden Rule (Maiinington, W. Va.), Eurhetorian Argosy (Sackville,
Ont.), Stylus, Lady Elgin (Elgin, 111.), Over the Country, Pajaronian, Aurora Brazileira,
Neighbor's Home Mail, Psyche, Madisonensis, and the Alpine Chronicle of Silver Moun
tain, California. To these may be added the Toledo Blade, Burlington Hawk Eye, Cape
May Ocean Wave, Broad Axe of Freedom, Sentinel on the Border, Unttrri/ied Democrat,
Spirit Lake Beacon, Homer's Iliad, Horsehead's Journal, Painted Post Times, Roman
Citizen, and many others. Names popularly supposed to be frequent are in fact
rare. It occasionally happens that the prominence attained by a single paper with
a certain name brings the name so much before the people that it grows familiar
to the public mind, though there may really be but few papers with the same desig
nation. What the journalistic fancy of the Centennial year will devise in the way
of newspaper titles is uncertain.

THE CO-OPERATIVE NEWSPAPERS— WHAT THEY ARE.

Within the past seven or eight years there has come up a class of newspapers
known as co-operatives, or patent insides and outsides, by which it is understood
that the publisher purchases at a central point a sufficient number of sheets for his
issue with one side already printed. The persons with whom he contracts, having
extensive offices, and wide arrangements with publishers through a great extent of
country, are able to supply fifty or one hundred with the same matter, the geographi
cal distribution of those papers being so distinct that the fact of the sides of two

NEWSPAPER DATA. 175

papers being alike becomes of no consequence. They do not go to the same readers.
The system has been scoffed at; but it has grown nevertheless. It is found that
the man who has a " patent inside" can in many cases make a better paper and a
cheaper than he who plumes himself upon doing the thing "all at home." There
arc about 2,000 sheets printed on this plan— more than a fourth of all the weeklies

published.

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING SPACE.

The value of advertising space in a newspaper is generally supposed to be fixed
by its circulation, but although the principal, this is not the only element to be
considered. Advertisements in papers having large circulations are said to be
worth half a cent a line in dailies, and one cent a line in weeklies, for each thou
sand issued. In papers of smaller circulation publishers have to obtain a higher
price for advertisements which go in but a few times. Advertisements are attracted
to those journals which contain other announcements of the same class. A man
who wants to let a house advertises it in the paper in which he sees most an
nouncements of houses to let; and in time in every city there will be some one
paper monopolizing that class of advertisements, and it is almost impossible for any
rival ever to displace it or deprive it of this peculiar patronage. It will hold it
even after having lost its circulation.

The impression prevails that English papers are much more favored with adver
tisements than the American ones. This is not the case. Our journals have more and
get much higher prices for them. No other paper in the world has so many as the
New York Herald, whose advertising rates are fifty per cent, higher than those of the
London Times, and Harper's Weekly charges four times as much as the Illustrated Lon
don News for the same space. The truth is, the advertising rates of American
papers are higher throughout than those of the English, and the patronage
emended to them is more munificent.

The one-price system for advertising is the one which pays. Publishers are
apt to devote too much attention to advertising. They think that this is all they
have need to strive after, and they often depend upon it to pay every expense. Some
have even gone so far as to publish a paper to be given away, trusting to the adver
tising to even cover the cost of the white paper; but as the paper would be a great
item of outlay, the temptation to defraud is so great that it is not in human nature
to withstand it. Knowing this, advertisers have come to regard papers of free cir
culation as dishonest enterprises, and there are now none of them in existence
which are of any account. Advertising space is generally charged for by the
" square "—a term which may have had meaning once, but has not any now. A
"square" means a space— a large or a small space, according to the arbitrary rules
of offices. Thus, a man who orders two " squares " may find he has negotiated for
eight or for sixty-four lines. A "square" is about as definite as "a piece of chalk."

Agate is the type used in all the great daily papers for advertisements. Smaller
type would not do, and larger is never employed. In some of the higher priced
weeklies they are set in nonpareil; in a few of the lower priced still larger type
appears, and in some of the Southern papers we find the paid announcements
displayed in long primer. Whenever a paper uses a larger type than nonpareil
for its advertisements, the experienced advertiser knows that space can be bought
at a low price.

It is, doubtless, true that the best managers of newspapers treat their advertis
ing space as merchandise. They know what it costs and what it ought to be
worth, and unless they obtain the price they value it at, do not sell. Experience
teaches that the man who gets a reduction to-day will not advertise to-morrow unless
a similar or greater concession be made ; whilst he who is refused to-day comes in to
morrow with increased respect for the man who had the backbone to see him leave
the office the day before. Yet, after all, advertising space is not like merchandise.
Merchandise, if not sold, remains in store and possesses value, whilst advertising
space, if not disposed of, must be filled up with reading matter, and the com
positor, too, must be paid for setting it. This fact acts as a lever in the hands
of the shrewd advertiser, and is by him used with great effect. In most of the
country weeklies an advertisement for three months will cost no more than twice
the sum which would be demanded for one month; and if double the price for

176 NEWSPAPER DATA.

three months be offered for a year's insertion, the chances are it will not be refused.
Patent medicine men become very conversant with this condition of affairs.

Advertisements possess another value in addition to the money which they bring
The "wanted" advertisements, those of school-books, etc., etc., are much sought
after, they being supposed to give character to the columns of a paper. Patent medi
cine advertisements, although considered less desirable, are, as a general thing,
taken at lower rates than those of banks and insurance companies, because it is under
stood that a man who advertises patent medicines must make the advertising pay,
and that he will watch and know the result. The other classes extend their adver-
ti-ing more as favors, and have less faith in its efficacy.

NEWSPAPER CIRCULATIONS.

Of the circulation of newspapers in this country as compared with that in
others we know very little. This is the only country in the world wherein any sta
tistics of newspaper circulation are published regularly. People's ideas about
circulation are very crude. Newspapers have by no means such large constituen
cies as they are supposed to have. A town of 50,000 inhabitants rarely will buy
as many as 2,000 copies of a daily paper published in its midst; and many a daily
paper is published which prints less than "00 copies per diem. Sometimes papers
rarely heard of in the town of their publication, and thought but of little conse
quence there, are those printing the largest number of copies. In New York city
the News undoubtedly prints more than 100,000 copies a day, yet many residents
of the city do not see a copy from one end of the year to another. The largest
regular circulation ever obtained by any daily newspaper in the United States is
now possessed by the New York Sun, Its daily issue is about 140,000 copies. The
London Daily Telegraph is the only paper in Europe whose circulation exceeds that
of the New York Sun. That is said to issue about 180,000 copies daily, while the Lon
don Times, believed by the public in general to be the leading paper of the world
(and justly so), prints barely one-third that number. It is almost superfluous to add
that the most influential dailies are not always those of largest circulation.

The New York Ledger and the New York Weekly undoubtedly print more than
100,000 copies every issue — possibly twice that number; a child's paper in Boston
issues 127,000, and Harper's Weekly can claim nearly 100,000. With these exceptions
there is every reason for believing that there are no weekly papers which exceed
an issue of 90,000.

A premium system of getting subscribers has been Arery much in fashion for
some years past, which has at times been very successful. Many papers have run
up an enormous circulation by this means, people often buying them for the premium,
and not caring for the paper. But circulations so obtained do not hold good, and
after the expansion has once receded, it is exceedingly difficult to restore it.

The religious paper having the largest circulation in the United States is the Chris
tian Advocate, published in New York; next to it, probably, the New York Observer.

It is a remarkable fact that some of the most profitable papers have very
small circulations. They obtain a good name and valuable advertising patronage;
their small issue enables them to get along with low-priced presses. Having plenty
of time to run off an edition, they do not employ many men. With them there is no
rush or confusion. Everything goes slowly, comfortably, is done cheaply, and man
aged with economy, and a large portion of the money which comes in remains as
profit.

AMOUNT OF CAPITAL REQUIRED TO START A NEWSPAPER.

The amount of capital required to start a newspaper is an interesting subject.
It varies from three hundred dollars up to a million. Many an one has been com
menced on as little money as the smallest sum named, while probably a million
would hardly suffice to bring out in New York at the present time a daily which
should successfully compete with the great dailies already in existence.

The largest profits ever made from newspaper enterprise have come from
daily papers. They also sink money the most rapidly when they fail to pay. Weekly
papers stand next in the order of lucrativeness; but semi-weekly and tri-weekly
papers are rarely profitable. There is no instance in all the Northern States of
a semi or tri-weekly paper having ccme up to the value of $15,000.

NEWSPAPER DATA. 177

The sums of money sunk in establishing papers are often very heavy. On Har
per's Weekly $100,000 was expended before it commenced to pay; the New York
Times' outlay reached several hundred thousand dollars before the investors began
to see a return ; Hearth, and Home entailed on its various proprietors losses riot far
short of $200,000 before it was finally suspended; and many a paper of which the pub
lic knows nothing has cost its owners sums ranging from $30,000 to $100,000. On
the other hand, the profits, when success is met, are proportionately large. Har
per's Weekly has undoubtedly paid as much as $100,000 a year in profits; the New York
Ledtjtr much more. The Philadelphia Ledger, New York Herald, New York Times,
and New York Sun have often paid much larger profits than those even. It is re
ported that the Chicago Tribune earned from its advertising columns the money re
quired for its new building as it was needed to pay the contractors. Monthlies rarely
make much money. They are generally published for the pleasure of the thing.
No temperance newspaper was ever known to pay. The same maybe said of masonic
publications and of those devoted to the interest of any of the various secret societies.

To establish a new daily paper in any of the large cities is considered a posi
tively certain way of sinking all the money that is put in. In ten years there has
been no new daily in New York that has made money; and one that is losing is a
perfect maelstrom for the wrecking of capital. Such investments we have heard com
pared (and aptly) to "pouring water down ;i rat hole." There is hardly ever any end
to it. The paper, however, that is making money will go on doing so, notwithstand
ing great mismanagement. That which does not quite pay, and loses a little more
this year than last, will never pay ; but the one which has struggled for twenty years,
and for the last five has come a little nearer to a paying basis each twelvemonth, will
in a few years make a fortune for its owners.

The causes of failure in newspaper enterprises may almost invariably be traced
to poor business management. The paper that fails, fails in a way and from causes
which would be foreseen by any intelligent observer who from day to day had an
opportunity of overseeing such matters.

The value of newspaper property in this country is very great. It is very in
tangible, however. Probably the New York Herald, if offered for sale, would realize
about two million dollars. There are two or three establishments worth a million
of dollars each; a couple of dozen worth half a million; a larger number equal to a
hundred thousand dollars apiece ; and there exist plenty of offices throughout the
country publishing little papers, which a journeyman printer, going in with $250,
and giving his note for $250 more, could induce the proprietor to resign in his favor.
There are many newspapers conducted in the country the proprietors of which
do not realize more than $400 profit per annum as a recompense for their labor.

In the country, in small places, the job office is an important auxiliary. Many
papers would be unable to exist without it, and in some the paper simply serves
as a sort of a tender to the other department. It advertises and brings business to
the printer. Next to the job office, the legal advertising is depended upon to furnish
the sustenance of the newspaper. It is oftentimes the case that a man having a news
paper established in a frontier county (and consequently a sparsely-settled region)
takes advantage of the absence of similar publications to publish a sheet at his own
office, printing on it the name of the shiretown in a contiguous county. He then
sends over one or two hundred copies and obtains subscribers there, and thus
manages to get the legal advertising of the county. In this way the enterprise pays —
perhaps not very handsomely, but it does pay.

The most successful newspapers are those conducted in two separate depart
ments, having an editor and a publisher. The editor controls the columns of the
paper. It is for him to say what course the paper shall take— what it shall say and
what it shall not say; it is for the publisher to see that the bills are paid, to fix the
prices for advertising, and to decide what shall be paid for of that which is published.
These two positions need two very different descriptions of talent, and it is very
rarely indeed that one man possesses both. It was well known that Mr. Greeley,
the founder of the New York Tribune, wr.s nev*er a suitable man to have anything
to do with the affairs of the counting-room. He, perhaps, knew this as well as
anybody.

178 NEWSPAPER DATA.

NEWSPAPER CHARACTER AND INFLUENCE.

The business of publishing a newspaper, in the hands of a good man, is a very
respectable one, but in the hands of a man of another sort it becomes quite the
reverse.

The editor who always tells the truth — who says in his columns only what lie be
lieves — exercises a great influence, and sometimes he is himself surprised to find to
what an extent his statements are received. The newspapers which never take any
stand upon political questions — the so-called independent papers, that are Repub
lican to-day and Democratic to-morrow — do not wield much power over the minds
of their readers. Senator Wilson , of Massachusetts, our late Vice-President, very
accurately described their position when, in conversation one day with a Western
editor who prided himself upon the influence of his "independent" paper, he
said: "Your independent papers have not any influence. Your readers have been
so educated by you that they are ]ust as independent as you are. and when you
take any stand different from that which you have been taking, your readers cut
loose from you."

To make a good newspaper, to publish it, or to edit it, is said to require a pecu
liar training. Yet many successful newspaper men have never had any, and have
gone into the business in middle life. They have, however, all been men who
have shown themselves possessed of a peculiar tact which is not common by any
means.

Editors are slow to learn that what interests them Avill not always interest their
readers. If an editor has a personal grievance, he is greatly tempted to venti
late it in his paper, and in that way he reveals to his readers all about a rival or
an enemy of whom they might otherwise never have heard, Thus he makes an
antagonist of importance, who, if let alone, would have been of no consequence
whatever.

NEWSPAPER SALARIES.

Where there are no official announcements, to report upon people's salaries
is necessarily somewhat hazardous. It is an interesting point, however, and one
that cannot be overlooked in a sketch of this Jdnd. The largest salaries paid to
editors probably do not exceed $15,000 a year, and this can only be secured on one or
twoof the leading New York journals. In cities outside of New York $100 a week is
good pay, and it is only in cities like Chicago that so much is to be obtained. Proba
bly no editor in Boston, Philadelphia, or any Eastern city, except New York, receives
as much as $5,000 a year. Reporters and city editors, and all the minor positions
on a paper are, as a rule, poorly paid — from $12 to $40 a week, according to the
importance of the place. The business manager of a paper is frequently the best
paid employe, and upon him the profits largely depend.

TOO MUCH ORIGINAL MATTER NOT DESIRABLE IN NEWSPAPERS.

Papers which are made up entirely of original matter are not, as a rule, very
popular. It is a very common remark of shrewd newspaper men that they can steal
better articles than they can buy. When an article is bought and paid for, there is
a feeling that the whole of it must be used, even though in some parts it lack
interest. On the other hand, there is no feeling of compunction in slicing down,
to meet the exigencies of space or the needs of readers, a good article seen in a
neighboring paper. The good points are saved and verbiage rejected. It is also
a fact that the public seem to have an objection to too much reading matter.
Among the most prosperous papers are those which have very little of it in
their columns. In proof of this take, for instance, the Philadelphia Ledger and
the New York News. The public also have an antipathy to supplements. Hardly
any man finds an extra sheet in his morning paper without a feeling of annoy
ance, or without wishing It were not there. Yet these supplements cost a great deal
of money. •

It may not be out of place here to correct an erroneous idea which quite ex-
tensively prevails. It is thought that the conductors of newspapers, especially of

NEWSPAPER DATA. 179

those appearing dinrnally, are very glad to have sensational reports— great trials,
murders, scandals, and so forth. These cause the papers to be largely sold, and the
public infer that the proprietors reap heavy profits from the increased circulation,
whereas the fact is that the extra expense for telegraphic news, for reportorial labor,
type setting, etc., vastly exceeds all the profit accruing from this source.

THE CIRCULATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF NEWSPAPictlS.

In the list of dailies, in point of circulation the average of Maryland (11,336)
stands at the head of the list, with Massachusetts (9,942) second, and New York
(8,402) third. The large average of Maryland is due to the fact that six out of the
eight dailies, whose circulations are given, are published in Baltimore and print from
8,278 to 20,094 copies each. Although the average circulation of the New York city
dailies is 24,965, the large number of country dailies whose subscription lists fall below
1,000 each (23 per cent.), reduces the average for the whole State to a third place
in the list. In yiassachusetts 26 per cent, of the list exceeds 10,000 circulation,
while in New York only 11 per cent, reaches that figure. The smallest daily
average (734) is found in Mississippi, and the next (782) in Nebraska.

Among the weeklies the largest average (4,120) is found in New York, the next
(3,777) in Massachusetts, and the next (3,375) in the District of Columbia. A com
parison between the cities of New York and Boston shows an average weekly
circulation of 12,124 in the former and of 10,702 in the latter. Nevada furnishes the
smallest weekly average (400), and Florida (478) next. Among the total averages of
all publications that of New York (4,991) ranks first, that of Massachusetts (4,582)
second, and that of the District of Columbia (3,697) third, while Florida (470) is found
at the foot of the list. Between the different classes of publications the monthlies
take the lead, with an average circulation of 5,144, and the dailies next with 3,877.
A further analysis shows that, while the daily average of a State is influenced to a
marked degree by the large cities within its borders, that of the weeklies serve
as an unfailing index of the prosperity and intelligence of the rural districts. In
the Northern States the average is large, while in the Southern States and Terri
tories it is small.

In a comparison of aggregates, New York heads the list with a daily circulation
of 764,500 copies, or 244,640,000 copies per annum, of which number 599,161 copies
are issued daily in New York city alone. The aggregate weekly circulation in the
State is 2,459.503 copies, of which 1,782,163 copies are issued from the city offices,
and the total aggregate amounts to 4,271,527 copies each issue, or 390,529,912 copies
per annum. Of the total for each issue, New York city prints 3,340,300 copies, or over
78 per cent, of the aggregate circulation of the State. The next largest total aggre
gate for each issue is that of Pennsylvania (1,701,250), and the next Massachusetts
(1,214,124). The total circulation of all the dailies in the United States amounts to
2,291,041 copies, ot the weeklies 8,938,166 copies, and of all publications 13,940,304
copies each issue, or 1,250,024,590 copies per annum.

A comparison between the aggregate circulation of all publications in each State
with its population (1870), shows that California issues 90 copies per annum for every
individual on her census rolls, while New York and Massachusetts fall but little
short of that number with an annual issue of 89 and 79 copies respectively. When
the distance of California from the great newspaper centres of the East is considered,
it will be seen that the local support which her publications receive is far better
than a comparison with the averages of those States in near proximity to New York,
Boston, or Philadelphia would indicate. At the other extreme we find Florida
and Arkansas, the former issuing 3 and the latter 4 copies per annum to each person.
Of the 42 separate States and Territores, 9 issue less then 10 copies, 23 less than 25
copies, and 34 less than 50 copies per annum to each person, while in the whole of
them combined the average number issued is 32. It will be interesting to note that
a high average is always found in those States where a high standard of educa
tion and good order exists— a fact of no slight significance in estimating the in
fluence of newspapers upon the government and education of the people. The
table shows that one periodical of some kind is printed for every three persons.
With five persons to each family this will prove one of two things, either that there

is more than one paper regularly printed and sold for every family, or that the circu
lations as given are too high.

In the Territories the average area for each publication is 7,443 square miles, in
Nevada 4,339 square miles, while in the District of Columbia the minimum is reached
with barely 2 square miles. In the New England States the average area ranges from
23 square miles in Massachusetts to 442 in Maine, in the Middle States from 43 in
New York to 88 in Delaware, in the Western States from 70 in Ohio to 4,339 in
Nevada, in the Southern States from 95 in Maryland to 1,976 in Florida.

THE CONNECTICUT COURANT.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The COURANT, of Hartford, is the oldest, most successful, most widely-known
journal that is published in Connecticut; nor has any in New England a more
thoroughly national reputation. The first regular number of its weekly edition— the
CONNECTICUT COURANT— was issued November 19, 1704, by Thomas Green, who set
up the first printing press in Hartford, in order to print this paper. Since then it
has been continuously published in the same city and under the same title, and no
other newspaper in the United States has for so long a time had a similarly uninter-
upted existence. It is, therefore, speaking strictly, the oldest newspaper in America .'

It appeared in time to give early utterance to the complaints that, first by sug
gestion, then by plain statement, and later by most emphatic expression, gave
unheeded warning of the coming revolution of a century ago. All through that
trying period, save one brief interval when, delayed by lack of paper— the pro
prietors stopped publication long enough to build themselves a paper mill— the
COURANT regularly appeared every week. And on through the settlement of the
war, and the discordant times that followed, and on through three more wars
through all our periods of national prosperity and adversity, the COURANT has
unfailingly gone out to its thousands of readers prepared under the promise of
its projector, to take "great care from Time to Time to collect all domestic Occur
rences that are worthy the Notice of the Publick."

The whole history of the United States, written contemporaneously with the
events, is spread out on record on its pages, while its advertising columns, and its
home news are, from year to year, illustrative of the domestic and social life of the
people and of its various changes.

The first COURANT was of four pages, with two columns to each page. The
COURANT of to-day, still a four-paged journal, has nine columns to the page, and is
more than eight times as large as was the first issue; while now all the issues of the
COURANT, daily and weekly, give their readers nearly sixty times as much to look
over in one week as was given in a week by the COURANT a century ago.

The HARTFORD DAILY COURANT was first printed in 1S36, and is now the only
morning newspaper in the city. The paper, owing, perhaps, in part to its long
service and its being so firmly established in the households of all those older
families of the State, with whom it has come to be an indispensable institution, has
a wide popularity. From early days it has received frequent contributions from
prominent citizens; Hartford people regarding it as the Englishmen are said to
regard their London Times — as the place to appear in in print whenever they have
anything to say. It would be hard to name any of the public characters of the city
for a hundred years back who have not, participating in some discussion, or through
some particular independent essay of their own, put their contributions in the
"People's Column" of the COURANT. It has become a part and fixture of the city
of Hartford and of the State of Connecticut. Its circulation is large through
Connecticut, and its influence under judicious management has become very great.
Outside of the State, the weekly, more especially than the daily, is taken by sub
scribers all over the country and by many New England people abroad.

The paper has changed proprietors ten times since 1764, either by total sale or
by change of partnership, and since January 1, 1867, has been published by Hawley,
Goodrich & Co. Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, the President of the Centennial Commis
sion, is at the head of the firm, and when at home is the editor-in-chief. Mr.
Charles Dudley Warner is associated with him, both in the partnership and as editor,
and " My Summer in a Garden," Mr. Warner's first thoroughly successful literary
production, was first printed in a series of contributions to this paper. Mr. Stephen
A. Hnbbard, formerly of the Winsted (Ct.) Heraldt is the third associate partner and

182 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS.

editor, and the manager. The business department is in charge of Mr. W. H, Good
rich, whose name appears in the firm, and who has been connected with the paper
for many years.

All the regular facilities of the modern newspaper for collecting news " worthy
the Notice of the Pub lick " are employed by the COURANT, and it has also its special
correspondents in various parts, both of this country and Europe. Every effort is
made to have it truly a newspaper. Conscious of its influence and jealously careful
of its reputation for honesty and accuracy, the managers of the COURANT maintain
for it a high moral tone and avoid that which is sensational and untrustworthy. By
this wise conservatism they increase the respect for the paper and the weight
attached to its expressions of opinions, which are positively and fearlessly outspoken
in favor of what it believes to be right.

Relatively to its size Hartford is to-day the richest city in the United States. It
has developed thus through a series of wisely-planned public measures and through
the energy and private enterprise of its citizens. The COURANT has been found
always ready to advocate that public policy which looked to the city's ultimate
welfare, and it has always had a word of encouragement for those citizens who have
made themselves active in opening new and promising paths of industry. It has
seen the insurance business of Hartford grow from its very beginnings to the
accumulation of the hundreds of millions of dollars of assets that the Hartford
companies now have; it has watched the banks of Hartford from the founding of
the first grow to be the richest in the State; and it has welcomed and assisted one
after another the great manufactories that have so contributed to make Hartford
famous. In a word, it has, from the lirst, identified itself with the best interests of
the place, and as Hartford has prospered and grown, the COURANT has prospered
and grown with it, and may to-day be taken as the exponent of New England
intelligence, New England, enterprise, New England honesty, and New England
success, which is the product of these.

THE " PUBLIC LEDGER," PHILADELPHIA,

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The Philadelphia PUBLIC LEDGER is among the journals which have
chiefly contributed to establish the reputation of the American press. In
point of enterprise as well as of originality of business procedure, the mana
ger and proprietor of the LEDGER is not surpassed by those holding simi
lar relations to any of our other great papers, and in no instance has the exer
cise of those qualities secured for their owners such widespread celebrity as is
apparent in the case of GEO. W. CHILDS. It is not alone in the Western Hemis
phere that this distinguished journalist's fame is a topic discussed far and wide ;
it is almost equally established and canvassed in European countries — France,
Germany, England— where his achievements are held up as exemplars of Ameri
can enterprise, power of surmounting colossal obstacles, and justice in reward
ing merit. Biographies of him have been published in leading organs of those
countries, the interest of the narratives being such that thousands of readers have
perused them with avidity, and so widely discussed the matter of them that
most Europeans who study our public men are acquainted, intimately with the
history of the popular proprietor of the PUBLIC LEDGER, of Philadelphia.

GEORGE W. CHILDS commenced life in a humble way, and has risen
to wealth and eminence, and the same may be said of the PUBLIC LEDGER itself,
which first appeared as a small four-page, one-cent sheet on the 25th of March,
1836. The talent employed on it was, however, of a high order, and quickly
secured it favorable notice and hearty support. The first year of the LEDGER'S
existence proved so propitious that larger accommodation was needed, and the
paper was increased in size. Success continued to be proportionate to the
enterprise displayed, and (as usual where profits are quickly realized) rivalry
was induced. Other penny daily papers were started in opposition, but failed
to loosen the firm hold on the people's regard which had been conceded the
LEDGER as a reward of ability, consistency, and a progressive spirit. During
and subsequent to the Abolition Kiots of 1838 the LEDGER became famous as an
uncompromising advocate of ''free speech" as to slave labor, and notwith
standing that many of its readers were for a time alienated, and that the dangers
of extreme measures at the hands of an excited mob were ominous, the LEDGER
bravely held on its philanthropic course, and lived to see and now survives the
abolition of what was so long our rebuke in the eyes of other nations. The first
rotary press ever built was used to print the LEDGER, April 9, 1847. This was a
four-cylinder press, invented by Richard M. Hoe. The proposition to place type
011 a cylinder and whirl it around was scouted as an absurdity by nearly all
printers; but Mr. Swain, one of the then proprietors, had intelligent faith in
Colonel Hoe's theory, and the machine proved, as is Avell known, a satisfactory
success. ,

The great increase in the price of white paper and labor during the war
rendered the publication of a one-cent journal impossible at a profit, and alter
having lost considerable money in their endeavors to supply it at the old rates,
Messrs. Swain & Abell determined to sell out the entire establishment. This
they did December 3, 1864, and the following Monday Mr. GEORGE W.
CHILDS began his brilliant career as the publisher of the PUBLIC LEDGER, and
received a warm welcome from the leading journals of the country, to which he
was already known as the publisher of many valuable books. Not being dis
posed to follow up the course of his predecessors, by publishing the paper at a
loss, Mr. Childs, on the 10th of December, 18(54, increased the subscription price
to twelve cents per week, but this was reduced a month later to ten cents — now
twelve cents. The rates of advertising were also advanced. These mutations

184 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

caused many to predict a disastrous decrease of support; but though there
was an immediate declension, it proved only temporary, the excellency of the
paper being such that few who had once been in the habit of regularly perusing
it could long abstain from according it patronage, and the circulation speedily
recovered and steadily increased, until in the first three months of 1876 it
reached 7,221,500 copies— a daily average of 92,584.

" LEDGE K " BUI LD1XG.

The building in which the LEDGER is produced is among the grandest struc
tural embellishments of the Quaker City, and as a newspaper office is complete
in every particular. It is freely open at all times to citizens and strangers; and
it is estimated that not less than one hundred thousand persons have availed
themselves of the privilege of scrutinizing the establishment. Nothing that
judicious liberality could secure has been left undone to provide for the comfort
of all engaged in the production and issue of the paper.

The great influence exerted by the PUBLIC LEDGER is largely attributable to
the care that lias for many years been exercised to prevent the appearance ot
extravagant statements in its columns. The imperative rule is to understate
rather than to overstate. Throughout its long career the LEDGER has advocated
every improvement which has tended to increase the prosperity of Philadel
phia and the welfare of its citizens, often in the face of strong hostility ; and
the wisdom of its pleadings has been demonstrated by the benefits which have
accrued when its advice has been followed. The LEDGEK may be said, among
other things, to have created a class of advertisements which contributes largely
to a newspaper's revenue. "Wants," "Boarding," " For Sale," " To Let," &c.,
had no existence as they now appear when the LEDGER started, but have grown
with it.

Mr. GEORGE W. CHILDS has enlarged the usefulness and widely extended the
influence of the PUBLIC LEDGER. His sagacity and tact enabled him to pilot
his paper through a perilous passage in its course, and to make changes in its
management which, in less skillful hands, might have proved disastrous. He
has pro ed his capacity and iitness to control a great journal, which is at
once an exponent and moulder of public opinion, and a power in the land.
Colleagued with his rare intellectual qualities is a goodness of heart which con-

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS. 185

stantly manifests itself in acts of considerate benevolence, and added to these
is a magnetism of manner that draws and attaches to him multitudes of friends.
"As a true journalist," said the Hon. John T. Hoffman, ex-Governor of New
York, " he appreciates and understands the difference between the liberty of
the press and the license of the press. He deals boldly with public matters and
with public men in connection with them— but he is always careful to recol
lect that private character is private property, owned by that most sacred of
all circles, the family circle, and that the man who needlessly assails it is as
much a criminal as if he robbed the household of its dearest treasures, or
plucked from it, for his own base uses, its fairest flower. He understands, what
I wish all editors in America understood, not only the power of the press, but
its proper uses and its great mission; and by his daily conduct and life declares
his opinion that the man who owns a printing press and can use a pen has no
more right to indite libels and stamp private reputation than the owner of a
uniform and a sword has to cut and kill to please his fancies or to gratify his
malice."

THE BOSTON JOURNAL.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The Boston JOURNAL is one of the best known newspapers published in New
England, having been established in 1833. It occupies its own building at 264
Washington street, and is printed on an eight-cylinder and a six-cylinder Hoe
press. It publishes two papers daily, Boston MORNING JOURNAL and Boston
EVENING JOURNAL. The sworn statement of its publisher, subject to verifica
tion at any time by advertisers, shows an average daily circulation of 31,500 for
the months of January, February, March, April, and May, 187G. The circulation
for the last week prior to this writing is as follows :
1876.

May8 31,514

May 9 30,889

May 10 31.816

May 11 31,225

May 12 30,980

May 13 33,854

Average 31,713

The JOURNAL publishes weekly and semi-weekly editions. The weekly has
a larger circulation in New England than any paper of like character emanat
ing from a daily newspaper office in Boston. The official postage returns show
that the Boston JOURNAL ranks the sixth paper in the United States in the
amount of matter sent through the mails. The JOURNAL is published by the
Journal Newspaper Co., Boston, Mass., audits managers are Messrs. S. N. Stock-
well and Wm. W. Clapp. It is a political, commercial and literary newspaper.
Its enterprise is best indicated by a few items of its expenses for the year end
ing April 1,1876. Telegraphic expenses, $33,302.70; Editorial and News Depart
ment, $39,447.24; correspondence, $13,404.68; postage paid, $4,285.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES, NEW YORK.

THE LEADING SPORTING JOURNAL OF AMERICA.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

This great weekly newspaper is as well known throughout this country as the
New York Herald or Harper's Magazine. It was founded in 1831, in compliance
with a general demand for a journal Avhich should reflect the tastes of the vast
number who find pleasure in the sports of the turf, the field, the water, and other
pastimes, sprang at once into popular favor, and has never since its foundation
failed to hold its position as the recognized authority and acknowledged organ
in the matters to which its broad columns are specially devoted. Its original
editor was William T. Porter, clarum et venerabile nomen, who continued in its sole
charge until 1856, in which year George Wilkes became associated with him .
Mr. Porter died in 1859, and since then Mr. Wilkes has most ably edited the
paper, being also its proprietor, until November 1, 1875, when E. A. Buck became
equally interested in its ownership, and assumed editorial control. Great as had
been its previous popularity, its rapidly-increasing circulation under the new
management shows that it still holds first place in the esteem of the public.
Labor and expense are lavished upon it as they have never been before, and the
reading community is always quick to appreciate generosity in its behalf.

The SPIRIT OF THE TIMES has always been noted for its manly and independ
ent manner of dealing with all sporting questions and events. Being thoroughly
informed, it knows the right and dares to pursue it. Fraudulent practices find
in it not an apologizer, but an armed and relentless foe. The true sportsman is
the last to compromise or palter with rascality; and this paper has well earned
the right to be considered the palladium of the interests of the true sportsman.

The sphere of the SPIRIT OF THE TIMES is very extensive. It has sym
pathetically expanded with the expanding wants and tastes of those to whom it
is the special organ, until it now issues a weekly edition of twenty-eight closely-
printed pages, which number it frequently increases to thirty-two, and on occa
sions to thirty-six. Each number contains more printed matter than any maga
zine or other periodical published in tne United States. Its patrons may depend
upon it that everything of value relating to outdoor or indoor sports will find
its way into the broad columns of the SPIRIT.

Its several departments receive the especial attention of gentlemen fully
competent to maintain them at the highest standard. As the organ of the turf,
it gives most complete and accurate summaries of all events, besides graphic
reports ot the more important meetings. In this department it has no rival. Its
dramatic and musical columns, to which matters several pages are devoted
weekly, are made up of brilliant and incisive critiques, correspondence from
every large town in this country and from many foreign cities, and the latest
intelligence ol the movements of stars. In this department it is admittted to be
facile princeps, both at home and abroad. The rising interest in aquatic sports
and rifle-practice has caused a full page to be set apart for each of these special
ties, edited by experts in their respective lines, who will keep fully abreast of
the times. One of the most remarkable features of this journal is its <: Answers
to Correspondents." Questions upon every imaginable subject from all parts of
the country are showered in upon it for decision, and receive the most careful
attention and prompt and correct answers. It is the authority for the decision
of wagers throughout the United States. The veterinary department is con
ducted by a fully-educated surgeon, who deals conscientiously with every case
submitted. Letters are continually received announcing the beneficial results
of these prescriptions, which are afforded gratis to all who take the paper

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS. 187

regularly. Besides these departments, billiards, atheletics, chess, etc., are
given due attention. Editorially, the SPIRIT OF THE TIMES is the organ of no
person, clique or party, but deals fearlessly with all questions of the day. Its
contributed articles have a world-wide fame.

What has been said in a simple statement of facts, and combined with the
circumstances that the circulation of the paper is enormous, that it is read by
the wealthy and money-spending classes as well as by the vast army of" middle
men" who are the strength of the country, that it goes to every club in the land,
and that the majority of its subscribers preserve its issues in permanent form
for future reference, it will be seen, without argument, how invaluable it is as
an advertising medium. The publishers are constantly in receipt of letters say
ing, " My advertisement in the SPIRIT has brought me more applications than
those in all the other papers."

The subscription price is $5 per annum, in advance, for which the paper will
be sent, postage paid, to any address. All communcations should be sent to
E. A. Buck, No. 3 Park Row, New York City.

THE AVALANCHE, MEMPHIS, TENN.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL, NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

In the front rank of the most influential and valuable newspapers of the
West and South, is the AVALANCHE, of Memphis, Tenn. This powerful and widely-
known journal, since its establishment in 1857, has gradually acquired a position
of which no competitor can easily deprive it. Under the long-continued judi
cious and enterprising management of its present publishers, Messrs. A. J. Kellar
and R. A. Thompson— the latter of whom associated with Mr. Kellar at a com
paratively recent date— the influence of the AVALANCHE has signally augmented
in those wide sections where the paper was already so favorably known, and
its reputation has experienced a merited extension in still broader regions. Its
publishers have proved that they understand fully what the public expects of a
first-class newspaper, and they have also attested their ability to produce and
maintain a paper amply commensurate with those expectations of the public.
The AVALANCHE is manifestly the leading independent and conservative news
paper of the Southern States. It is issued daily and weekly, and is thickly cir
culated throughout Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky,
Missouri, Western Texas, etc. The yearly subscription price of the daily is ten
dollars, that of the weekly two dollars, and special rates for both or either are
allowed to clubs. It is devoted to news, politics, commerce, agriculture, indus
tries, literature, science, and the development of Southern interests, both mate
rial and social. To use its own words, it believes in the Constitution as it is, in the
perpetuity of the Union of the States, and that the virtue and intelligence of the
American people are equal to all the duties of self-government. It does not
propose to ally itself with any political party except in so far as that alliance
may accomplish good results. It does not look to nor care for the personal or
political advancement of individuals, unless they represent vital principles
whose enforcement is desirable ; and its relations to all existing parties are such
that it can afford to be fair in its dealings with them— to commend that in them
which is good, and to condemn that which is hurtful.

The AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST is one of the highest authorities on Horticul
ture and kindred subjects. The managing editor, Dr. George Thurber, ranks
with Prof. Asa Gray and men of like character and pursuits at home and abroad.
While well versed in all matters connected with this journal, he is everywhere
recognized as one of the foremost in a knowledge of botany, horticulture, etc. It
would be a novelty to find in the AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST an erroneous recom
mendation, or item, in botany, horticulture, or, indeed, on any other subject.
It is to be noted, however, that the AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, though taking

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS. 189

this name at first and adhering to it, is not exclusively, by any moans, an agricultu-
ralor horticulturaljournal. Its motto is : "For the Farm, Garden and Household."
Its FOKTY-FOUR large pages, contain much " plain, practical and reliable " in
formation on all subjects that pertain to the labor and physical well-being of
the people, whether they live in City, Village or Country. It is largely taken by
professional men, by merchants by mechanics, by operatives in manufactories,
who cultivate their little garden plots— indeed, by all classes. (For example, its
circulation in Massachusetts alone sometimes runs as high as 17,000 copies.)

A special feature of the AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST for a quarter of a century
has been its unsparing and persistent exposure ot quackery and the swindlers
that prey upon the pockets, the health and the lives of honest people, who, with
out dishonest purposes themselves, are least likely to be suspicious of the
statements and assurances of others. By this course this journal has saved to
its readers and to the country many millions of dollars that would otherwise
have gone into the pockets of harpies. In connection with the above may be
mentioned : The Advertising rules of the AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, which are
perhaps more strict and more closely lived up to "at all times and in all sea
sons^ than in any other periodical. Those in charge of this Department are
under positive directions to rigidly scan every advertisement and every adver
tiser; to admit nothing deceptive in substance or form; to exclude all quack
and other medical advertisements, all secret things, all persons suspected of
dishonesty— in short, " every person offering an advertisement, who is not
known personally or by good and well-established repute, is required to fur
nish satisfactory references or other evidence that he has both the ABILITY and
the INTENTION to do for his patrons just what his advertisements promise."

The above rules, adopted at. first from conscientious motives, have, unex
pectedly to the publishers, proved a financial success, and furnished an exam
ple well-worthy of imitation by other publishers. The readers of this journal,
knowing the strict rules of the publishers, read the advertisements and respond
to them with confidence. The good advertisers receive such large custom
through this particular journal, that they find it to their interest to give it special
attention in sending out their business notices — 110 matter what rules or requne-
ments the paper may be compelled to adopt to keep its advertisements within
desirable limits. Thus it has come to pass that, while the subscription rates of
the AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST have been, and are, kept down to or below the
cost of making and supplying the paper, its business columns have made this
periodical a notable financial success, unequaled and even unapproached by
any other similar journal in the world.

It begins the New Century in the highest vigor and influence, and 1976 will
doubtless find it among the flourishing institutions of that day. To avoid any
interruption of its business or its arrangements by the age or the decease of any
of the business partners, or other causes, the Management was in 1873 changed
to that of a Chartered Company, taking the name of the leading editor and
publisher for many years, and it is now, therefore, published by the ORANGE
JUDD COMPANY, at 245 Broadway, New York.

History.— The AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST was originated in April, 1842, by the
venerable A. B. Allen, who still lives in retirement at Toms River, N. J. He
employed others to assist in publishing and editing, having a different business
growing on his hands. In May, 1853, he called to the editorial chair Mr. Orange
Judd, who, brought up as a farmer at the West, had at mature age sought the
advantage of a collegiate education, andaftersome years of subsequent investi
gation, had devoted three years (1850 — 1853) to the careful study of agricultural
chemistry, and agricultural science generally, with Profs. Silliman, Norton, etc.,
in Yale College. After a short service as editor, Mr. Judd became sole pro
prietor, and continued thus until the magnitude of the business required him to
call in business associates, including among others, Samuel Burnham. Esq.,
who has now been a "right hand man " for about ten years; C. C. North, Esq.,
the present treasurer, who came in in 1873. In 1853 Mr. Judd called to his editorial
aid Dr. George Thurber, above alluded to, who has since given untiring
attention to this journal, and also is now chieflly entrusted with the editorial

management. Among its editorial and contributing corps may be named
Henry Stewart, Col. Geo. E. Waring, Jr., Timothy Banker, Esq., Col. Mason
C. Weld, A. B. Allen, Peter Henderson, Prof. Asa Gray, Prof. W. O. Atwater,
L. C. Root, Hon. Frederic Munch, "Aunt Sue," Faith Rochester, and others.

The German edition (der Amerikanischer Agriculturist) was started in 1858, and
has been the only German agricultural and horticultural paper in this country
that has had a continuous existence for a period of eighteen years.

THE CHURCHMAN, NEW YORK.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

THE CHURCHMAN was established about one-third of a century ago, and its exist
ence was continued under different names until the end of the year 1866, with
indifferent pecuniary success, notwithstanding its editorial management was at
various points of its history in the hands of very able men. In 1866 it was called the
Connecticut Churchman, and its actual circulation was hardly 1,500.

In December of that year it was purchased by the present proprietors, and from
that time on it has enjoyed uniform prosperity, its circulation rising rapidly from
1,500 up to 17,500, and this notwithstanding its subscription price is larger than that
of any other religious journal in the United States.

This growth is due to the determined perseverance of the managers in their
endeavor to make THE CHURCHMAN a religious paper which should exhibit, in all
the matters pertaining to its specialty, the enterprise and the literary excellence
of the best secular journals.

It occupies confessedly the first rank among religious and literary weeklies.

At the beginning of the year 1875 it made a great advance in meeting the need
of the time. In effect a weekly journal of high character is a maga/ine, made up of
matter which merits to be preserved as much as any of t'he best monthlies or
quarterlies. Therefore its form should be adapted to this. Recognizing the prin
ciple, the managers of THE CHURCHMAN adopted its present shape and size. It
contains thirty-two pages, nine by thirteen inches in size, and is sent to subscribers
most conveniently pasted and folded. The folding, the pasting and the cutting are
done by one process, on a machine built expressly for THE CHURCHMAN.

THE CHURCHMAN Is the most reliable exponent of the attitude and the prin
ciples of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

It represents adequately the entire Church, and is not an organ for the dissemi
nation of merely party principles, or the opinions of one man or one clique. It
gives week by week with remarkable promptness all Church news, and treats ably
the civil topics of the day, as viewed from a churchman's standpoint.

In brief, THE CHURCHMAN is a weekly magazine of ecclesiastical intelligence
and devotional and general reading, and is the largest and most widely-circulated
weekly in the Protestant Episcopal Church. It contains each year one-half more
reading matter than "Harper's Magazine," more than twice as much as the "Galaxy"
or " Scribner's," and three and a half times as much as the "Atlantic."

THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER.

THE DAILY ADVERTISER BUILDING.

The Boston DAILY ADVERTIS
ER was founded in 1813. In the
following year it became the
property of the late Nathan
Hale, whose connection with
it only ceased with his death.
Mr. Hale was the first publish
er and editor of a newspaper
in the United States to print
editorials daily and continu
ously, and his articles very
soon acquired a national repu
tation. His writings were dis
tinguished by breadth, intelli
gence ami great candor. From
the first, he rigidly excluded
from the news and advertising
columns of his paper every
thing which had an immoral
intent or tendency, and this
commendable rule is still ad
hered to. Mr. Hale likewise
kept the editorial columns ex
clusively under his control
and for his own use ; and the
frequent writings of Edward
Everett, .Tared Sparks, William
Ellery Channing, and of num
berless celebrated men of the
day were inserted only as com
munications. The editorials
were and are still the free and

untrammelled expression of the editoiial staff. No paper in the United States
is edited with greater care and fidelity or with a more strict regard to the inter
ests of our great nation. The expenses of its editorial and news departments
are six times as great as they were only ten years ago. Its editor-in-chief and also
its financial editor are proprietors, and constant writers, thus inducing the
strongest sense of responsibility that self-interest can create. It has select and
able special correspondents in the prominent cities of Europe and this country.
It makes of literary, dramatic and fine art criticism a speciality, with the ablest
writers to be had on its staff. The result is a large and increasing circle of
readers, both in the business and the literary world, and among the very best
people of the country. Indeed, the paper is the recognized organ of the banks
and other inonied institutions of Massachusetts, and of the different colleges
and other literary institutions of New England.

The paper is located in a handsome building, of which a cut is herewith
given, on Court street, and on the site of the very structure in which Benjamin
Franklin made his advent as a journalist. Its composing room is lofty and com
modious. Its editorial rooms are convenient and inviting; they occupy the
entire fourth floor. The counting room, mailing room, and press room engross
the first floor and basement. To accomplish the labor of printing and folding
in season for mails, one of Hoe & Go's fastest presses, and four folding machines
are run.

THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION,

The BALTIMORE AMERICAN
was established August 20, 1773,
by Wm. Goddard, a native of
New England, and is now one
hundred and three years old,
being not only the oldest paper
in Baltimore, but also one of
the oldest and most influential
in the United States/ It Avas first
issued as the Maryland Journal
and Baltimore Advertiser , a name
it bore until 17C9, when it was
changed to that under which it
appears at the present day,
THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN AND
COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. Mr.
Goddard conducted the journal
until 1793, and from that time to
1853 it passed through several
different ownerships. In 1853 the
firm became Robert A. Dobbin
and Charles C.Fulton (the pres
ent senior proprietor), and was
conducted under that firm until
1802, when Mr. Dobbin died and
Mr. Fulton purchased his inter
est, thus becoming sole proprie
tor, associating his son Albert
K. Fulton, in the future conduct
of the paper, and at this period
commenced its most successful
career, which has remained un
broken to the present day. It
was in the columns of this
journal that our national an
them, " The Star Spangled Banner," first saw the light, having been set up
by Mr. Samuel Sands, a gentleman still living, a few hours after it was
originally written by Mr. Keys, and it was several times during the war
of 1812 that the issue of the paper was omitted on account of the editors and
journeymen being engaged in repulsing the British attacking NorthPoint. There
are other very interesting circumstances connected with the history of the AMERI
CAN, but space forbids their mention. In 1875, its old qua- ters having been found
too contracted for its steadily-increasing business, a handsome and commodious
edifice was erected for its accommodation on the corner of South and Baltimore
streets, and the AMERICAN is now the possessor of one of the Hiiest and most
imposing newspaper offices in the country, and well worth a visit from the many
travelers in transit through Baltimore this summer. Its counting-room is uni
versally conceded to be the handsomest in the country. Visitors to the Centen
nial will find a painting of the building, and also a lac-simile of the first issue ot
the AMERICAN, on exhibition in tho newspaper building.

THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN,

THE COURRIER DES ETATS-UNIS, NEW YORK.

A SKETCH FOK THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

1828—1876.

The " COURRIER" has arrived to-day at that period of complete development to
-which a half century of hard work, independence and progress has conducted it.

Started on the 1st March, 1828— the date of its first number— it passed through many
trials and difficulties before it achieved success, and was assured of a permanent ex
istence. The idea of its founder was an ambitious one, viz.: to publish in the States
an organ in the French language— the language of the highest European society— and
to excite attention to French literature, which at that time was entirely ignored in
this country. At that time there was no question of politics or of commerce, manu
factures, international interests or of any private interests ; but simply to intro
duce and inculcate the taste for French literature, which, in consequence of the very
spirit of the country, has not, even since that time, made the progress here
•which could naturally have been expected. However, the idea succeeded. With its 8
pages in quarto, of 3 columns each, appearing every Saturday— at the annual subscrip
tion price of $8— the "COURRIER," from its very commencement, was astonished atits
success. Very soon, to keep pace with the demand for it, from new subscribers, it was
obliged to reprint its earlier numbers. In less than two years from its start it became
& semi- weekly ; to its Saturday edition was added one on Wednesday ; to be sure it
consisted of 4 pages only, but it was one step in advance, and was justified by the
patronage which it obtained.

However, the paper changed hands several times. In 1829 it passed into the posses
sion of Mr. Felix Lacoste, who died consul-general of France at New York in 1859. In
1836 Mr. Lacoste transferred the " COURRIER " to Mr. Ch. de Behr, who was succeeded
by Mr. Frederic Gaillardet.

It was in November, 1839, that Mr. Gfaillardet took the editorship of the "COURRIER
DES ETATS-UNIS," and from his very first number he inaugurated a programme which
was a striking success. Mr. Gaillardet had seen clearly the brilliant opening that
there was for a French newspaper in the United States. He said in substance—
"There is a great field to be occupied by a newspaper which can become both the
representative and the defender of the French nation in America, which will uphold
the traditions of our manners, of our customs and of our language amongst the popula
tion of French origin; which can offer itself as a friend and ally to this population in
upholding its native idioms and ideas, and in carrying the French diction to all parts
of the new world— it will sustain and rally round it all those who speak this language
and of these different scattered members it shall make, if it be possible to do it, one
body and one spirit."

What Mr. Gaillardet said in 1839 we think to-day, and we repeat that a French news
paper in America has no higher duty and no position more useful than to act as an
intermediary between all the groups of French nationality, not only in the United
States, but throughout the whole of the new world ; to make them known to each
other ; to bring them together as much as possible and to mutually assist them. It Is
this idea, constantly and energetically carried out, which is the secret of the greatest
and most durable successes of the " COURRIER DES ETATS-UNIS."

It is this idea constantly kept in view by all those connected with its administration,
since the time of Mr. Gaillardet up to the present date, which, repeated from the St.
Lawrence to Cape Horn, has caused to spread in all the cities, towns and villages where
Frenchmen are to be found, the name of one paper especially devoted to their interests
and sufficiently established to defend them. Thus it is that, little by little, the

194 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

"CouRRiER " is now to be fount! in the most distant points of the American continent,
and that it is welcomed as a friend in all the French homes in the Canadas, Louisiana,
the Pacific coast, Mexico, West Indies, and in Central and South America.

In saying this we do not fear any contradiction.

There may be great differences of opinion on political points, or on any other matter
which is open to controversy ; for we do not expect everybody to hold the same
opinions as ourselves; but, at all events, we fear no denial when we proclaim positively
that the "COURKIER," whilst continually reminding Frenchmen of the rights which,
have been conferred on them and the duties which are imposed upon them as mem
bers of the American family, has always been a newspaper thoroughly French ; work
ing ardently to rally— in the name of the mother country— the French people scattered
throughout the vast extent of the American continent ; studying their wants, sustain
ing their rights, and, above all, encouraging them with all the energy in its power to-
lay aside all useless differences and animosities, and to remember only that they are
children of the same country, and that their highest interest, as well as their most
imperative duty, is to hold together, to sustain and to help each other.

Few words are necessary to recall the progressive steps of THE COURRIER from its
commencement up to the new epoch which opens to-day.

As we 'have previously stated, THE COURRIER DES ETATS-UNIS dates from the 1st
March, 1828. Eighteen months after, a new edition, published on Wednesday, was
added to the original Saturday one. This semi-weekly edition was sufficient at thai
time, when the news from Europe only readied us by sailing vessels, and when,
besides, the postal communications with the interior of the country were so uncertain
that, in the year 1833, our subscribers in Philadelphia complained that they only re
ceived their papers three days after publication.

Mr. Gaillardet's connection with the paper was coincident with the inauguration of
trans- Atlantic steam navigation. Then commenced, also, the publication of this paper
three times a week. The exciting period of 1848, in its turn created new demands,
calling for frequent extras, making an average of four or five numbers per week.
However, it was not until three years later — namely, in May, 1851 — that the regular
daily edition was commenced. A short time previously — namely, in the preceding
month of April — was commenced a weekly edition of sixteen quarto pages specially in
tended for subscribers scattered throughout the interior of the country and for the
benefit of our American readers. Towards the end of the same year— in November—
THE COURRIER increased the size of its paper, thus enabling it to give more complete
details of the subjects treated about. At last, on the 1st November, 1864, the paper
was still further enlarged and appeared in its present form. Tims nothing further
was needed (at least for the present) but the Sunday edition to meet the demands of a
large and varied circulation.

To-day THE COURRIER DES ETATS-UNIS publishes a daily edition (seven numbers per
week) at the price of $12 per year. A weekly edition especially for Europe, same size
as the daily edition, at $6 per year. A weekly edition, containing twenty pages, at $5
per year.

This last edition, of which the circulation is very large, goes more especially Into
the Western States, Louisiana, Cuba, the West Indies, Mexico, California, and all the
countries on the Pacific Coast as far as Chili.

Such is the present position of THE COURRIER DES ETATS-UNIS, and it is a source of much
pleasure to us to acknowledge that its progress has been constantly sustained, en
couraged and accelerated by the sympathy of the large majority of the French resi
dents in America. We thank them most cordially, and assure them that we shall
endeavor in the future, as we have done in the past, to merit their good-will by sus
taining their special interests in America, whenever the occasion therefor arises, and
also to inspire Americans with respect and love for France, in return for the affection
and respect which she has always shown to their country.

In printing these papers no less than three million, four hundred and twenty-six
thousand, six hundred and ten (3,426,610) pounds of paper were consumed.

This exhibit almost passes belief. Had we not examined the books of the estab
lishment, and.copied the figures ourselves, we should have feared that a mistake had
been made somewhere. But no mistake has been made. The circulation of THE SUN
for the fifty-two weeks given, reached the enormous aggregate of forty-six million,
seven hundred and ninety-nine thousand, seven hundred and sixty-nine! And its
average daily circulation, on week days, is now continuously over one hundred and,
thirty-eight thousand copies!

Such unparalleled success, such unexampled popularity, such vast prosperity, can
only come from a wide-spread and deep-seated recognition of the trustworthiness of
THE SUN as a purveyor of news, and of its fearlessness and faithfulness as an expositor
of public affairs, an exposer of public wrongs, an advocate of morality and religion,
and an upholder of the rights of the people ; and, in truth, as to these grand features
of journalism THE SUN has an exalted and commanding position. It is independent of
party. It aims always to bring out the truth, no matter who may be helped or hurt by
its publication ; to support honest and capable men for office, no matter to what party
they belong ; to secure the enactment of good laws, no matter by whom they are
proposed ; never in any case to admit into the columns of the paper anything that is
contrary to public or private morality, or which cannot be read in the family circle ;
and always to maintain an independent attitude in the decision of i-eligious questions,
treating all sides with fairness, and giving all sides a hearing, and endeavoring to
measure and judge them all by the standard of the divine laws.

It is a common remark in New York that " everybody buys THE SUN » Everybody
knows that THE SUN tells the truth about public measures, and public men, and public
plunderers, without fear or favor. Everybody loves to road the truth about his con
spicuous neighbors, no matter how cutting it may be ; yea, though it be " sharper than
any two-edged s\vord, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of

19G

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

the joints and marrow." This universal love of truth THE SUN, with marked success,
perpetually aims to gratify, and therefore, in every number it has toothsome provender
for the hungry multitude.

When one enters the first-floor corner door of the spacious and elegant edifice on
the corner of Nassau and Frankfort streets, opposite the City Hall, which is known as
THE NEW YOKK SUN Building, he finds himself in

THE PUBLICATION OFFICE

of the establishment. This is a spacious room with lofty ceiling, running the whole
depth of the building. It is divided into a front and rear office. In the front oince are
desks at which advertisers can write or modify their advertisements. One can hardly
enter this office at any hour between 8 o'clock In the morning and 10 at night without
finding it alive with employe's and customers. There is a constant rush of persons
bringing advertisements, coming for answers to advertisements, calling to purchase
THE SUN, or to subscribe for it, and seeking information or bringing information ;
altogether presenting an animated spectacle.

The rear office in the Publication Room is fitted up with desks for the cashier,
advertisement clerks, mail clerks, and other employe's, and with the ponderous safes

OF THE UNITED STATES. 197

of the establishment. It also contains the inner and private office of the publisher,
Isaac W. England, Esq., who, though not old in years, is a veteran in newspaper aflairs.
Mr. England is widely known among newspaper and business men. His integrity,
though so unbending as to make things uncomfortable for those who have " crooked "
interests to serve, is tempered with such genuine good nature and consideration for
the rights and feelings of others, that honest, industrious people like to work under
his authority. He is a large stockholder in THE SUN, and cherishes an enthusiastic
affection for the paper which vitalizes and reinforces all his faculties, and enables him
to thrive bodily on his labors, as Avell as pecuniarily on his profits.
Having surveyed the Publication Office, let us now ascend to the

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT,

or " Brain Box," as printers call it, of the establishment. This is situated on the ,,nird
floor, and consists of a suite of four spacious rooms, forming an L, fronting on Printing
House Square, and running along Frankfort street the whole depth of the building from
front to rear. We enter the rear room, which is occupied by the reporters and editorial
attache's of THE SUN office— all young men, full of vitality and enthusiasm, who love
their work, and are proud of their paper. They shirk nothing, but are always ready
to start for Coney Island or California, for Alaska or Australia ; to take part in a rail
road collision or a steamboat explosion ; to go down in a diving bell or up in a balloon.
These young men contribute much to the vivacity and variety of THE SUN, and are to
be estimated among the elements of its success.

From the reporters' room, we pass into the apartment of the MANAGING EDITOR.

The position of the Managing Editor of THE SUN is a most important and onerous
one. He has to keep a wide-awake eye not only on the entire city, but also on the
Union at large, and has the whole reportorial force of THE SUN under his command.
With the exception of such persons as the Editor-in-Chief admits to an audience, the
Managing Editor has to meet all inquirers, and pacify or discipline all grumblers, and
dispose of all comers who, having axes to grind, visit the editorial rooms of THE SUN
for the purpose of having them brought to an edge.

Another important member of the editorial force of THE SUN is the NIGHT EDITOR.
The Night Editor comes on duty at 4 o'clock P.M., and stays till the last page is made
up, ready for the stereotypers. He finds out what has been done by his associates
before he came in ; looks over the proofs, makes needful corrections, and decides what
must go in the paper and what can be omitted ; examines and condenses correspond
ence which comes by the night mail, and also the late telegrams ; writes notices of
important matters and gives directions as to the nature and length of late reports, and
fixes up news matters outside of the local departments. The Night Editor holds a
position of great responsibility ; inasmuch as. with the exception of such articles as
the Editor-in-chief or the Managing Editor has marked " Must "—which means that
articles thus marked nust go in— lie has absolute control of the contents of the paper;
consequently, on his judgment in selecting articles to go in, the character of the paper
of the next morning in a great measure depends.

In addition to the foregoing, there are the City Editor, the Day Editor, the Financial
Editor, the Political Editor, the Market Editor, the Literary Editor, the Musical Editor,
the Agricultural Editor, and the Mail and Weekly Editor, whose several functions are in
dicated by their titles. Then there is the Ship News, and the Telegraphic News,
furnished by associations, by correspondents, and by agents. Then there are the
Special Correspondents stationed in the important cities of America and Europe. Then
there is the army of Voluntary Correspondents which the enterprise and liberality of
THE SUN have called forth, u and which covers the land for multitude." Nothing of
importance can occur anywhere, that some agent or friend of THE SUN will not at
once telegraph to it, or describe by letter in case there be no telegraph station in
reach. Liberal pay inevitably awaits all such voluntary news-senders or news-bringers
at THE SUN office.

And still further: Besides all the aforementioned persons, there are gentlemen oi
high culture and special gifts on the editorial pay-roll of THE SUN, who constitute a
powerful force, and are able to furnish, on call, articles of the highest merit on any
subject which it may be desired to discuss in the columns of the paper.

We have still to mention the most important member of the editorial force of THE
SUN, to wit : Charles A. Dana, Esq., the EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, whose function is one oi

198 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

supreme importance. He must hold the entire force in a firm but elastic grasp,
marshal all its diverse elements into harmony without impairing their individualities,
and give consistency and unity to the general sweep and purpose of the journal. He
must scan, day by day, the events of the world, and single out for publication and
comment those which are either of the most general or special importance, and indi
cate to his subordinates what they are severally to write about, what the scope and
tone of their articles shall be, and what shall be the policy of THE SUN on every subject.
Mr. Dana is the largest stockholder of the Company, and the editorial monarch of
the establishment. His sway is imperial and despotic. ~Ko one does or can call Jtim
to account. He has had large experience in newspaper affairs, in subordinate as well
as controlling positions. He has been reporter, city editor, managing editor, New York
correspondent, Washington correspondent. Paris correspondent, and foreign corre
spondent generally. Like Napoleon, therefore, he knows his profession through all its
grades, and can judge and do justice to all his subordinates, and pity all their WOQS
because he has felt the same. He has a wide knowledge of public affairs, and also of
business, commercial and scholastic matters ; has traveled much, both in Europe and
America ; speaks the modern languages with fluency ; has an intimate acquaintance
Avith many of the leading scholars and statesmen of both hemispheres ; is familiar Avith
literature, philosophy, and metaphysics ; sympathizes with the progressive and ame
liorating movements of the times ; has always been an audacious and plucky newspaper
belligerent, but fights without malice, and is a generous conqueror. Several years
;ago it Avas said of Mr. Dana :

" He receives the hardest blows with serenity of countenance and of spirit, as
though he heard gentle angels Avhispering : ' Peace, Charles, prithee peace ! Possess
thy soul in patience and bide thy time, for that vain man Aveareth a scalp Wherewith,
in the Providence of God, thou shalt ere long adorn thy wigwam !' and he doth possess
his soul in patience, and he also bideth his time, and finally, like a true journalist, lie
conspicuously takes the scalp of the offender at the very time it would be most awk
ward for the victim to appear in society bereft of that ornamental hereditament."

Tliis declaration seems to have been instigated by the spirit of prophecy. One
after another the foes of THE SUN have gone down before the prowess of its " Chief,"
until there is no other Avigwam in the country so rich in scalps as Mr. Dana's.

Mr. Dana is a hard Avorker. THE Sux is his pet. He loves it and is proud of it.
He keeps a vigilant eye upon everything ; and, like his subordinates, is ready to do
any piece of A\rork Avhatever that may come to his hand. His literary and editorial
executiveness is surpassingly prompt and decisive. This helps him to gu through his
work with a celerity which relieves it of much of its burdensomeness. He is genial
and companionable Avith his assistants, but no one can more effectively assume the
imperial role Avheu distinctions of position should be made apparent, and the lines of
order should be sharply drawn.

Mr. Dana is in all respects a prosperous gentleman. His copyright as editor of
Appleton's New American Cyclopedia is large, his receipts for salary and dividends
from THE SUN are much greater, and altogether he has a most princely income.

The members of the editorial force of THE SUN, one hundred and five in number,
are loyal to the paper, and to one another, from the Chief to the loAvest member of the
staff. The reporters stand by THE SUN ; the Managing Editor stands by the reporters;
arul the Editor-in-Chief stands by the entire force. This is an important point, and
gives a unity, and enthusiasm, and self-reliance to the men Avhich nothing else could
inspire.

And noAv let us see how all the work done by this array of accomplished and indus
trious men is finally brought to a focus in the pages of THE SUN.

. It is 10 o'clock at night as we mount to the editorial rooms. The apartment of the
Editor-in-Chief, in the northeast corner of the edifice, looking out upon City Hall Park,
is all aglOAV. Ordinarily he only comes down at night to take a general survey of affairs
and look over his proofs, but to-night matters of uncommon importance have come to
hand, and he is at his post, with a full staff, at a later hour than usual.

Everybody seems to Avork as though under Avhip and spur. Reporters from the
public meetings, fires, fights, and scenes of accident, and crime, rush m Avith their
notes and set to Avork as if for life. Messengers hurry to and fro from telegraph
offices. Other messengers likeAvise hurry to and fro from divers other points. Visitors
come hurrying in, all out of breatl1, wanting to see the Managing Editor or the Chief,
on matters of pressing importance, and all are disposed of with promptness, celerity

and courtesy. Mangled and tumbled papers from the city, the country, and the utter
most parts of the civilized world, lie in heaps upon the floors. The pens scratch, the
scissors click, the Chiefs bell rings sharply out for the boy, and the "condensers "—
three men whose only business is to take the core out of correspondence, reports and
extracts, and articles from other papers — are "refining as with a refiner's fire " the
matter which is to appear in the morning's paper.

The space in THE SUN is too valuable to admit anything except the very cream
and marrow of the news and information to its columns ; wherefore, telegraphic dis
patches are reduced to "Sparks," long communications to paragraphs, paragraphs to
41 Personals,' and articles to " Jottings."

THE Sux Condensers are men who can see at a glance what is interesting in an
article, and what is useful, and what is needful, and what is of no account ; and they
" kill " without mitigation or remorse.

And now midnight approaches ; the turmoil has died away ; the Chief and his
immediate staff have disappeared; the reporters have gone, except a few who have but
recently come in ; and the Managing and Night Editors, with a few trusty assistants,
.are all that remain on duty. And now let us " follow copy " up-stairs to the

COMPOSING ROOM,
•where the type-setters ply their nimble fingers.

The composing room of THE SUN offlce is a fine, light, airy apartment, and is fitted
up with the utmost elegance and convenience. The exact cost of the outfit— including
type, furniture, and materials for stereotyping— was $12,290.72. The regular force of
compositors, or type-setters, is sixty-five ; and a fine-looking, intelligent company ol
men they are.

The compositors have been at work for many hours. They take it easily at first,
from 3 P.M. to 5 ; then there is a recess of two hours, and at 7 o'clock they come back
for the real work of the day, and stay till 2 o'clock, A.M., or as much longer as may be
necessary. As a usual ihing, when 2 o'clock comes*; all but four of the compositors are
.allowed to go, and the four retained are kept till the paper is sent to press. The com
positors work by the piece, and their average earnings are $25 a week ; but some ol
them make $45 a week, when they do their best.

After the type-setters have been at work for an hour, or less, the proof- taker begins
his work. The type which has been set is put in an orderly way and fastened in its
place on long brass beds called galleys, which are then run under the proof-press,
whereby impressions, or proofs, are taken on long slips of paper. These are sent to
the proof-readers, who read them over for errors, and mark all mistakes on the mar
gins of the proofs, which are then taken back to the compositors, who correct the
•errors in the type, after which new proofs, called revises, are taken, to see if every
thing is right. If any errors are found in the revises they are also marked and
corrected; and when everything has been at last set right in a galley of type, it is
transferred to the make-up table; that is, to the table where the type is finally put in
ihe forms or pages of the newspaper.

About 11 o'clock the foreman of the composition room sends word to the Night
Editor that he is ready to "make up;" that is, that he is ready to put the type into
the pages, and send them to the stereotypers. On receiving this notice the Night
Editor appears with a separate set of proofs, taken expressly lor him, and over which
he has been studying and working for several hours.

There is already matter enough in type to fill the columns of the paper twice over,
and more is coming all the time. The telegraphic lightnings are pouring it in; the
reporters are writing it out by the column; and messengers are coming with all
manner of communications— " Very important, sir, and must appear in the morning's
paper, sir."

And sb the Night Editor works away, studying over his proofs, gradually singling
out what must go in, whether or no, and no mistake; also what may be left out; also
what shall be left out. When, therefore, he receives notice from the foreman of the
composition room, that he is ready to "make up," the Night Editor goes up to the
fifth story with a clearly defined purpose. Under his direction the foreman rapidy
lifts column after column of the news and editorials into the form which is to con
stitute the second or editorial page of the next morning's SUN. The last page and the
third page, composed largely of advertisements, have already been made up and sent

200 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

to the stereotypers. The first page, which is the last one made up, is yet to come.
Meanwhile, let us step into

THE STEREOTYPING ROOM
and see what the Vulcans are about.

The stereotyping room is one of the most interesting departments of THE SUN"
establishment. It is occupied, and the stereotyping process performed by eight splendid
fellows, whose brain and muscle, as well as their skill and fidelity, are of a high grade.

The stereotyping process is peculiar, and differs widely from that in ordinary use.
The Bullock presses used in printing THE SUN require stereotype plates which can be
affixed to their cylinders, and hence the plates must be cast in half-circles; and they
must be cast, too, with the utmost expedition and in unusual numbers. There are
seven presses used by THE SUN, each of which prints two complete copies of the paper
at an impression. Therefore, no Jess tJian fourteen complete sets of plates have to be
cast for THE SUN, so that it can have fourteen papers printed consentaneously, in
order to get off its immense edition within the brief period between the hour when the-
paper goes to press and the time of its delivery to buyers, and at the post-office for the-
early mails. The process of stereotyping is performed in this wise :

The flat page of type is first warmed on a hollow iron table heated by steamr
then a sheet of thick paper, such as steel engravings are printed on, which is chemi
cally prepared by soaking in a mixture until it becomes nearly of the consistency ol
paste, is laid upon the face of the type, and beaten down with a heavy and stiff brush,
until every letter, rule, and point is perfectly moulded in the soft mass of paper. All
hollow places are then filled up with a preparation of plaster of Paris; after which-
another sheet of the prepared paper is laid upon the first, and beaten down in the
same manner. By this means a substantial matrix of the entire page is formed. The
type and matrix are then swathed in blankets, placed on the hollow, steam-heated
table, run under a press on one end of the table, and subjected to a heavy pressure,
wliile at the same time it is baked by the heat. It is then taken out and the paper
matrix is removed from the type. It is firm, but pliable, and capable of resisting a
high degree of heat. It is the flexibleness of the matrix, even more than the celerity
with which it can be produced, which gives it its peculiar value; for it is its flexible-
ness which enables a cylindrical plate to be cast from it.

After the matrix lias been perfected as above described, it is placed in a reversed
position in an iron mould of the exact curvature of the press cylinder; the melted
type metal is then poured in, and in two minutes a stereotype plate of the page of
type in the form of a half-circle is taken out and handed over to the trimmers to be
fitted to the press cylinder; the mould is again filled with metal, and another plate is
cast; and so the process goes on, until fourteen casts of each page have been taken,
trimmed, and sent down to the press-room.

We will now step on the elevator along with a set of the stereotype plates and:
descend with them to

THE PRESS-ROOM.

The Press-Room is situated in the basement of the edifice, and is a most capacious
apartment. When we arrive at the press-room, at half past one o'clock in the morn
ing, matters are in no very lively trim. Everything is quiet. There is not yet even
a hiss of steam. Stalwart men are stretched out on huge piles of paper, fast asleep.
Some of them lie face downward, with their arms stretched out at full length, and
sleeping as though they would never again wake. Others are lying all in a heap, others
flat on their backs, showing grimy but honest faces; and all are sleeping soundly.
Other men are bringing in huge rolls of paper from the dampening room and arranging
them conveniently at hand for the pressman.

The Bullock press, on which THE SUN is printed, prints from a continuous sheet,
which is wound up in the form of a huge cylinder. The machine for wetting down or
dampening the paper is so constructed that it unwinds it from one roll and at the
same time winds it up into another roll; and as the paper thus passes from one roll to
another it is subjected to a uniform shower of the finest spray, which dampens it ia
every fibre to just exactly the degree which is requisite for it to print to the best
advantage— the construction of the press, the rapidity of the motion, and the force of the
pressure, all considered. Attached to the dampening machine is an invention of Mr.
England's, which ingeniously meae-ires the roll of paper and tells just how many SUNS
it will make. .This is done for the purpose of checkinsr the tendency of paper manufac-

OF THE UNITED STATES. 201

turers to put so much body in their stock that a roll of paper of given weight sometimes
falls short in length to the extent of many copies of THE SUNT.

And now, as the pressmen have begun to wake up, and are beginning to put the
stereotype plates on the cylinders, and the steam begins to give tokens of its coming,
let us go up to the composition room again, where over the first panre of THE SUN the
final struggle of matter against space is to begin. "This," says 'the Night Editor,
pointing at it as he speaks, " is the costliest page on this planet." It is now half-past
one o'clock A..M. The form must be in the stereotyper's room in fifteen minutes.
There is matter enough on the make-up table to fill four pages, and every line of it is
important. What's to be done ? especially as a fresh batch of copy has just come up
marked "MUST," from the Managing Editor, who is still hard at work below. No\v is
seen the value of understanding every part of one's business, especially the mechanical
part. The Night Editor is a practical printer, copy-cutter, proof-reader, anything and
everything that may be needed. He looks over the type — does not have to resort to
the proofs — and orders out this and cuts down that, and reads the proof of new articles
from the type— and finally "Good Night" comes from the telegraph offices— and the
page is completed, and the form is locked up (that is, fastened so the type cannot
fall out) and trundled into the stereotyper's room exactly at 15 minutes to 2 o'clock A.M.

And now look at the stereotypers. They are also on the home-stretch, and how
magnificently they work. Every man knows just exactly what to do, and does it to
perfection just in the nick of time ; and the total result is that four casts of the first
page of THE SUN are on their way to the lower regions in just twenty minutes from
the time the stereotypers received the form. That is. only five minutes to a cast.
The other ten casts follow at a more rapid rate.

From the stereotype room we now go down to the publication office, to see the
newsmen and newsboys buy their checks. When the delivery of the paper begins,
which will be in a few minutes, the rush will be so great that there will be no
time to make change ; and so newsmen and newsboys provide themselves with metal
checks, about the size of a two-cent piece, on which is stamped the number of papers
for which they have paid. If a newsboy wants 12 papers, he pays 16 cents— THE SUN-
IS sold to him at 1% cents a copy— and receives a check which entitles him to 12 papers.
This check he presents to the man below of whom he gets his papers, who de
livers his 12 SUNS to him, and drops the check through a hole in the delivery coun
ter, into a box kept for the purpose. The smallest check calls for three papers, and
the largest for eight thousand.

On entering the publication office, we find a number of men and boys buying their
checks, and several tired little fellows lying asleep on the floor ; and on the grating
outside, through which the warm steam and hot air come up, are other children also-
lying asleep. It is a raw and chilly morning, and the "iron bedstead," as the little
fellows call the grating, affords them a luxurious couch, through which the warmth
comes upon their pinched and withered and ill-clad bodies like airs from Heaven.

And now back to the press-room again. At 7 minutes to 2 the first press starts and
delivers 200 papers a minute. In a few minutes the counters begin to count off, and
get the papers ready for delivery to the newsboys and newsmen. At 2 minutes after
2 the second press begins to throw of its 200 SUNS a minute. At 9 minutes after 2 the
third press starts ; and so they keep on until all the presses are running and throw
ing off fourteen hundred SUNS a minute, two of the presses printing 300 papers a min
ute each. Although the SUN now has seven presses in operation, the popular demand
is so constantly increasing that it has ordered another of double size, and the capacity
of 50,000 per hour, which, after being shown at the Centennial Exhibition, will be set
up in the press-room.

The counting of the papers is one of the most interesting and astounding perform
ances in the whole business. There is one man who counts 300 a minute, and another
who can count 400 a minute. Let the readers of this article try to count 400 a minute on
their fingers, or try to count 400 pins or 400 peas in a minute, and they will get some
notion what it is to count that number in that time.

The fact is, the counting of newspapers in the SUN office has been refined into an
art as delicate as that of piano playing, and it is performed very much in the same
way. The counter throws'a pile of damp papers on the table, strikes the heap in the
stomach with his left hand, twitches up the edges with his right so that they stand:
slightly apart, and then, with the fingers of his left hand runs them off in groups of five,

202

THE GEE AT NEWSPAPERS

almost exactly as a pianist runs off arpeggios on his instrument, and with an equal
precision and delicacy of touch.

The papers are usually counted off in bundles of fifty, but sometimes in larger
quantities. The delivery of the papers to the buyers begins at half-past three. The
number taken by the different buyers the morning we were present varied from 3 to
27,000. The three were taken by a little boy about seven years old, the 27,000 by a
newsdealer, and we are informed that the whole number delivered by a quarter past 5
o'clock was 126,600. The additional sales, and the papers sent to mail subscribers,
brought the whole number up to 138,993.

Having thus followed the NEW YOKK SUN through its entire daily and nightly
growth, from the first article written to the point where the presses are dropping
fourteen hundred complete copies a minute at our feet, we now take our leave, and
take a Third Avenue car forup-town. By the time the car arrives opposite THE Sux of
fice it is comfortably filled, and a newsboy rushes in it, crying " Here's your NEW YORK
SUN," and sells four papers on the spot. We look at the City Hall clock : it is just 48
minutes past 3 o'clock. Thus early does the sale of THE SUN in the streets commence.

The number of persons employed in THE SUN ofllce is two hundred and forty-nine.
The expenses of the establishment for the week ending March 11, 1876, Avere fifteen
thousand eight hundred ana seventeen dollars and seventeen cents ($15,817.17), and it
was not an expensive week either, the items of which are as follows :

Dividing this amount by seven, it gives a daily average of $2,259.59, the outlay incur
red that every buyer of THE SUN may get his copy for two cents. If a buyer of THE
SUN were to set to work to make the copy which he gets for two cents, he couldn't be
gin to do it for $2,259.59, without first incurring an outlay of a fortune to start with,
and then spending a quarter of a century or so in learning how to do it.

The expenses of THE SUN are so enormous that one naturally wonders where the
profits come in. They come from the sale of the papers and from subscript ions and
.advertisements.

In addition to their enormous daily issue, THE SUN PRINTING COMPANY publish THE
SUNDAY SUN (8 pages), at $1.20 a year, and THE WEEKLY SUN (8 pages), at $1.20 a year.
THE WEEKLY SUN is intended more particularly for country circulation, and is filled
only with the choicest news of most interest and value to those who do not care
to take the New York daily papers. Great care is bestowed upon its agricultural and
market reports ; the farmer and the country merchant are provided with such items
of intelligence as most closely enter into the wai'p and woof of their prosperity, and the
matron and children are not forgotten, but are supplied with such genial and instruct
ive reading matter as one loves to peruse in the family circle and enjoy with those
who sit around the same hearthstone.

It was supposed to be a dangerous experiment for THE SUN COMPANY to attempt
to publish a two-cent paper at a cost surpassing that, of any four-cent paper. But
the experiment has succeeded so well that THE SUN could now live without an adver
tisement, and Mr. Dana's policy is always to make advertisements give way to the
news. The people appreciate such enterprise and liberality, and THE NEW YOKK SUN
is having greater success than ever before. It is emphatically the people's paper. It
always stands by the workingmen and all movements for the improvement of the
condition of the masses, when they need support ; and it also stands by them in an
effective manner. It does them downright, substantial service. It also always takes
the lead in exposing corruption in high places, and in bringing the people's unfaithful
servants to the bar of public opinion. For these and many similar reasons, THE
SUN has a strong, enduring hold on the affections of the masses and the confidence of
the nation at large.

And then the fa'ct that it gives all the news of the Associated Press at one-half the
price which the other papers of the Association charge for it, in addition to what its

OF THE UNITED STATES.

own exclusive enterprise furnishes, and the fact that it gives the combined results of
the labor and brains of two hundred and forty-nine men, winnowed of all chaff, skimmed
of all scum, and purged of all sediment— the fact, in short, that it every morning gives
overy one of its buyers $2,259.59 for two cents, places the ever growing prosperity of
TUB NEW YORK SUN beyond all question. Its compactness is also a strong point in
its favor. One can attack its contents with a fair hope oT being able to master
them within a reasonable period.

In the antediluvian days, when human beings lived away up towards the thou
sands, such a feature would not have been of so much importance. In those long-
drawn times a sprightly girl of sixty, or a robust youth of ninety, or even a middle-
aged man or woman two or three hundred years old, could take tilings moderately ;
but it is ordered otherwise in this day, and especially in this metropolis. Here, life is
•cut short at both ends, and crammed to choking in the middle ; the day's hurly burly's
never done, and there's only time to read THE SUN.

THE EVENING JOURNAL, OF JERSEY CITY, N. J.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OK THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The EVENING JOURNAL of Jersey
City was established in May, 1867,
its publication and editorial office
being combined.in one small room,
and its total available capital at
en-1 of first week was $119.00. Its
success has been remarkable, even
in this land of rapid growths. It is
strictly a "local paper," which,
while giving all the telegraphic
news of the day, yet concentrates
its attention chiefly on the local
news of the thriving community in
which it is published, and it is
therefore a favorite visitor at every
tea-table and the leading adver
tising medium in Jersey City. The
population of Jersey City, which in
1850 was about 16,000 is now 120,000,
and rapidly increasing. The suc
cess of the JOURNAL is attested by
the four-story handsome granite
and brick building, size 25x90 feet.
37 Montgomery street, Jersey City,
erected for it in 1874. It is printed
from the most remarkable Web
printing machine yet invented.
Its proprietors, Messrs. Pangborn,
Dunning & Dear, who are experi
enced newspaper men, and thor

a reward of conscientious work, cordial support and approbation.

THE NEW YORKER STAATS ZEITUNG.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The progress, development, and present position of this paper form one of the
most remarkable existing proofs of the success with which industry, energy, perse
verance, and faithful and righteous, management, when applied to the Press, are
crowned in the United States. The New York STAAT* s ZEITUNG was first published in
1834, as a weekly paper. As such it was well received and supported, but the patronage
accorded had so 1'ar augmented, and the demands of the Teutonic population so in
creased in 1842, that in that year it was issued as a tri-weekly publication. The
mutation proved the calculations of the projector to be soundly based. The sale of the
journal grew, and its reputation advanced correspondingly, and three years later, when
it was converted into a daily paper, it entered on its more useful career with a propi
tious future before it. At this time, notwithstanding its reputation, the circulation of
the paper was, however, comparatively insignificant, amounting to about only 3,000
copies, and it was not till 1849 that the grand development leading to its present com
manding position can be said to have taken place. Even then, for some years, its pro
gress was not over-rapid, and Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer, the present proprietor and chief
editor, avers that if, in 1852, when he became first connected with the STAATS ZEITUNG,
any one should have suggested the possibility of the. paper reaching its present large
circulation, he would have considered the idea visionary and absurd. But what was
deemed a quarter of a century ago an impossibility is to-day an accomplished fact. „

In order to present a trustworthy opinion of its circulation, we have carefully pre
pared from the office books the following statement of the average daily circulation of
the N. Y. STAATS ZEITUNG for every week during the first quarter of the current year:

April

In addition to this daily circulation, a weekly and a Sunday edition are printed,
the circulation of the former being principally outside the city, in the Middle, "Western,,
and Southern States. The Sunday edition is a prominent literary paper of acknowl
edged merits, and is very widely read.

The above statistics show that the New York STAATS ZEITUNG has the largest, cir
culation of any daity paper printed in the German language. None in the United States
will compare with it at all, and we are reliably informed that the principal journals
issued in Germany — in Vienna, Berlin, Cologne or Frankfort — are not its peers. It is
not necessary, however, to confine the comparison among German journals. The New
York STAATS ZEITUNG will well bear to be contrasted with its English contemporaries
of the city. There is that in its circulation which is remarkable, and indicates a supe
rior class of readers. It is this : nearly all the copies of every issue are taken by
regularly appointed carriers to the houses of subscribers. Compared with its English
contemporaries, it is vended but little on the streets. Evidently, then, its subscription
list is very heavy, it being very doubtful if even the Herald or <S;mcan claim a heavier.

When it first appeared, the ZEITUNG was published in Nassau street ; next it was-
removed to Frankfort, and afterwards to William street. In 1857 it was located in an
establishment specially erected for its accommodation, at 17 Chatham street, opposite
the City Hall, whence it continued to issue for many years. But the constant increase
of business, together with the prospect that the East River Bridge will, when complete.

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS.

have its landing on the spot where that office is situate, constrained Mr. Ottendorfer
to seek another place of publication. The choice of site was a matter of no little im
portance. Printing House Square is the most desirable location for the business place
of a newspaper in the city. Therefore, to retain a holding there must be accomplished
if possible. But no suitable building presented itself. Now it was that Mr. Ottendorfer
aetermined to carry out his long cherished desire to erect an edifice for his paper
which should be an ornament to the city and a monument of newspaper enterprise.
In pursuance of his resolve, he bought several houses onTryou Row, extending from
Chatham to Centre streets, facing Broadway, and thereon has placed a structure whose
dignity and gracefulness impress all beholders. It was completed in 1872, and first
occupied in the early part of 1873, and no one who examines it can fail to admit that its
projector, Mr. Ottendorfer, has succeeded remarkably in his efforts to secure a building
exteriorly handsome and complete in its internal arrangements.

NEW YORKER STAATS ZEITUNG BUILDING.

The edifice forms the north side of Printing House Square, on which nearly all the
principal daily morning papers published in the City— the Sun, the Iribune, the Times,
and the Herald— have their palaces. It-closes the circle formed by the City Hall, and
the new Post Office, and gives an appropriate finish to one of the most interesting parts
ol the City. The style of architecture employed is the modern renaissance, the first story
being built of the dark bluish Quincy Granite and those above it of the lighter Con
cord Granite. The effect of this combination is to relieve the building of the heavy
appearance usually characterizing granite structures. The ornamentation, which is
rich without being redundant, further aids the accomplishment of this end, whilst the
portico, extending through two floors, and surmounted by bronze statues of Gutten-
berg and Franklin (the one the inventor and the other the American representative
oi printing) is a central feature which is never beheld without admiration. There is
a pleasant harmony in the whole arrangement, and the remark is often made by
gentlemen of cultivated taste and great experience that among all the majestic pub
lic buildings erected in the city in recent years, that of the STAATS ZEITUNG bears the
palm for combining beauty and utilit3r.

A model exterior was not, however, what Mr. Ottendorfer alone aimed at. His in-

206 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

tention was that this should be an accompaniment only to a complete, thoroughly
practical newspaper establishment. He therefore, in preparing the plans, made a
careful study of all the improvements in newspaper economy, and introduced all such
as commended themselves to his approbation. All other considerations were made
subservient to this end, and how fully this was accomplished a visit to the STARTS
ZEITUNG office will convince every observer.

Entering the publication office, situate on the ground floor at the south-east corner,
one is immediately struck with the loftiness of the apartment, next with the elegance
of its fittings, and then with the evidence of business-like arrangement everywhere
present. For height and good ventilation the STAATS ZEITUNG publication office has
not its equal in the city. The consequence of this grand provision being that the em
ployees are healthy and vigorous, and that the evil effects of a vitiated atmosphere are
never experienced even when the congregation of people at the office is greatest.
The woodwork in this department is of rich polished walnut, exquisitely carved, and set
off with artistic bronze adornments, affording a charming contrast to a splendid speci
men of German marble (expressly imported for Mr. Ottendorfer) which forms the slab
at the aperture through which advertisers and others confer with the clerks. Writing
desks en suite, and of the most approved pattern, are placed on the elegant tiled floor
for the accommodation of visitors ; all minutiae, are carefully disposed ; and pervading
everything is a conformity with the architectural design.

Going up a noble stairway, the walls at the side of which are tastefully frescoed,
the editorial ro< ms. situated on the fourth story, are reached. Whilst ascending, the
sustained elegance of the building cannot fail to impress any visitor. The landing-
place at each story is tiled just as the publication office is ; the same sort of adorn
ments observable in. the hall are presented at the top of the edifice; everything be
speaks thoroughness.

The editors' rooms are arranged methodically and comfortably, being so placed as
to expose the busy workers to the least danger of distraction. What hundreds of their
literary brethren sigh for in vain— fresh air and plenty of it— they enjoy without let
or hindrance. The several offices connect Avith each other, so that no difficulty
stands in the way of ready communication between the editor-in-chief and his subordi
nates ; speaking tubes render the transmission of messages to printers or clerks easy ;
and copy-lifts expedite the transmission of copy or correspondence to and from the
sanctum.

Above the editorial department, on the top floor of the building, are the compos
ing room and stereotyping foundry— the most excellent in the city— devised for the
comfort of work-people and the facilitation of the operations conducted in them. Every
thing is clean, orderly, systematic, and the looks of the workmen betoken that the
sanitary arrangements have not been carried out in vain.

The STAATS ZEITUNG forms are stereotyped every morning, and as the whole opera
tion has to be completed in about 18 minutes, the'most perfect machinery is neces
sarily employed. The pages of type having been trundled into the foundry, an accurate
mould of them is taken on wet papier-mache", which, when dried by heat, is placed in
a massive iron casting box of curved shape, into which the seething metal is poured.
A good cast having been secured, the plate is transferred to the planing machine,,
where all irregularities are removed, and in a few minutes (the finishers having re
moved any crudities) it is fit to be affixed to the cylinder of either of the two splendid
six-cylinder Hoe presses on which the issue is daily worked in the basement. In the
foundry a small engine is used to drive the machinery, the steam being supplied from
the basement. The means of heating the building are also furnished from this sub-
ficial department, and are very complete.

Descending by an elegantly fitted elevator to the press-room we enter a series of
underground apartments. The elaborate machinery at once attracts notice, but the
next subject to arrest the attention is the excellence of the light, which, though con
veyed artificially, is so good as to render the use of gas unnecessary during the day,
save in retired places. The two presses employed to print the STAATS ZEITUNG will
turn off together 20.000 an hour, the motive power being given by a 36 horse-power
engine constructed by Wright & Co. Two of these splendid machines stand side
by side, though but one is used at a time, the object being to obviate delay in printing
the paper in case accident should befall cither. Near at hand are the folding
machines, all of the most approved pattern and capable of folding nea'iy the papers as

OF THE UNITED STATES. 207

fast, as they are printed. The mailing apparatus is likewise close at hand, this also
being of the most approved construction. The immense boilers which furnish the
steam for the machinery and the whole building are located in vaults under the side
walk on the Chatham street side of the building. On a level withr these, but on the-
opposite side of the floor, there is another vault for the storage of paper, in which
several thousand reams are constantly kept, and an aperture for the purpose admita
of fresh supplies being slid down a shute. In close contiguity is the distributing room,
where the papers are handed every morning to the numerous carriers, who are in
variably promptly on hand when an issue is coming from press. To this a half story is:
devoted. The government of this department is singularly excellent. Each carrier is
a man of proved reliability. Promptness and precision are points which the indefatiga
ble carriers vie with each other to excel in, and it is next to impossible for any
subscriber to the NEW YORK STAATS ZEITUNG to be disappointed of his paper at the
breakfast table. Each of the corps has a district assigned him, and is protected from,
the encroachments of rivals by provisions designed by Mr. Ottendorfer to benefit both
the distributors and his patrons. There is not one of the other daily papers that has
anything approaching to the completeness of this system.

Indeed, everything possible appears to have been done to obviate delay in the
delivery of the paper. Even the building itself was from the first designed to subserve
this end, and for that reason chiefly it was that each and every room in the whole of
the colossal edifice was made independently fire-proof. It seems impossible that the
building could be destroyed by fire, or that flames could even extend beyond the
apartment in which they might have their origin. The success of the New York,
STAATS ZEITUNG, in a business point of view, is in no small degree due to the active
interest which Mrs. Ottendorfer, the wife of the editor and proprietor, takes in it.
This ladj is every morning in the publication office, and superintends and directs the
business affairs with an ability and circumspection only to be acquired by long ex
perience, and tiiat faculty of comprehensive tact which are commonly believed to be
the exclusive characteristics of men ; her example demonstrates that, without claim
ing a larger sphere of rights for the so-called weaker sex, ladies can become eminently
useful in the daily exertions of life, if they understand how to properly exercise their
influence.

The New York STAATS ZEITUNG as it at present stands before the public is the re
sult of the activity, industry and intelligence of our citizens of German descent. But it
has in no small degree itself contributed to bring that class of our citizens to the re
spected position which they occupy. Its influence in the formation of their views,
modeling their opinions, and its usefulness in correctly apprising them of important na
tional and local issues, can hardly be over-estimated. If the secret of its great influence
be sought it will alone be found in the sincerity and disinterestedness with which the
STAATS ZEITUNG urges its arguments. These are the only qualities which could possibly
have gained it the consideration it enjoys among such thoughtful and well-instruct
ed people as compose the Teutonic element of our population. The tendency of the
paper is conservative. Being inspired with a conviction of the necessity of the pre
servation of the Union, it supported before the war the democratic party, believing it
to be the one giving the best guarantee for the undisturbed preservation of the Union,
and after the outbreak of the Rebellion its editor and proprietor, in words and facts,
enthusiastically supported the Union cause.

Of late years, however, the NEW YORK &TAATS ZEITUNG has been independent in
politics, its principal efforts being directed against corruption and the abuses in our pub
lic life and to endeavor to impress upon its readers the necessity of making honesty,
faithfulness and capability the only standard by which candidates for all offices should
be judged, regardless of party dictates or promptings. To this course it consistently
adheres, and its increasing popularity is the best possible voucher that this stand is
one which commends itself to public approbation.

THE NEW YORK TIMES.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The projectors of the N. Y. TIMES promised in their prospectus to make " at once
the best and the cheapest daily family newspaper in the United States." Twelve
months later, they were able to declare that it had been " immeasurably more success
ful, in all respects, than any new paper of a similar character ever before published in
the United States." With justifiable exultation, and with strict adherence to truth,
they asserted that "in circulation, in income, in influence, in everything which goes to
make up the aggregate of a successful journal, it challenges a comparison with any
other paper ever published." Such, in brief, is the story of " The Year One," as toid
by Mr. Raymond, on the 17th September, 1852.

The TIMES, then, was a success from the beginning. And it was a success because
it met an urgent want of the community, because to enterprise in the acquisition and
publication of news it added courage, moderation, dignity, ability and genuine consist
ency in the discussion of public affairs. The field was already largely occupied by
journals which looked with no frieiidiy eye upon the new comer. There was coarseness

OP THE UNITED STATES. 209

in the controversies of those days, and the contrast maintained was between indiffer
ence to principle on one hand, and a dangerous tendency to extreme principles on the
other. The orthodox Whig newspaper vied with the organ of Democratic opinion in
obedience to the slave power ; the radical Whig became the champion of Socialism, and
the cause of human liberty suffered from an advocacy which identified it with opinions
that were repugnant to the American people. A need of journalism different froni(
either was felt, and the TIMES met it boldly and well. " We shall be conservative in
all cases where we think conservatism essential to the public good," was one of its
opening insurances ; "and we shall be radical in everything which may seem to us to
require radical treatment and radical reform." This discriminating judgment was one
of the secrets of the remarkable influence and prosperity which attended the estab
lishment of the TIMES. Its excellence as a newspaper was a potent factor in the sum
of its success. The care with which it was adapted to the tastes and wants of the
family, the high standard of purity which it maintained, and the literary culture which
shone in its columns, were marked and important sources of power. But its weight
in political discussion— the authority it exercised alike in the affairs of the State and of
the nation— was to a large extent traceable to the skill and effect with which it imposed
restraint upon the conflicting ultraisms of the time. It infused the vitality of progress
and the courage of conviction into the dominating conservatism ; it held in check an
aggressive radicalism, and subjected it to the discipline of the Constitution and the
law. Never leaving its readers in doubt as to its position on any important question —
never evading a question because it was beset with prejudice or linked with powerful
vested interests, it adhered steadfastly to the course in the first instance marked out.
It was vigorous, without being offensive ; courteous, without being cowardly ; and it
appealed always to the intelligence and moral principle of its readers.

Identified with the Free Soil Whigs as long as the Whig .party lasted, the TIMES
largely contributed to the influences and purposes which culminated in the organization
•of the Republican party. The Pittsburg Convention and the nomination of Fremont
were events with which the historian will associate the services of the TIMES.
The previous four years witnessed a struggle bitter and unrelenting, in which
the TIMES took a conspicuous and honorable part. As a newspaper, it had kept
pace with the march of the age. Its size had expanded, and with the enlargement of
its resources had come increased efficiency in all the general departments of a metro
politan journal. The principles which had governed it remained unchanged ; the
policy it did much towards moulding and crystallizing found final expression in the
election of Lincoln. The position he assumed corresponded very closely with that
which the TIMES had uniformly held. And when the madness of Southern faction
forced upon the nation a struggle for its life, the TIMES accorded his administration an
ungrudging, unqualified sxipport. It had no doubts as to its duty, and never paused
to count the cost of the difficulties it encountered. No better record of the war exists
than that which might be compiled from its columns.

The views attributed to American statesmen by Victor Hugo and Louis Blanc in
their appeal for the Philadelphia Exhibition reflect the policy upheld by the TIMES
throughout the era of reconstruction. It exerted itself to "prevent hatred succeeding
defeat." It contended that to permanently re-establish peace, and to win from peace
the fruits it should yield, friendly feeling must be restored between the victors and the
vanquished. The pursuit of these ideas for a brief period estranged from the TIMES the
more extreme leaders of the Republican party. Experience has vindicated the motives
of the TIMES, and moderated the rancor of those who at the moment quarreled with it.
Its desire to promote sectional reconciliation continued unabated ;. its good will
towards the South remained unaffected by the fate that attended the overtures which
it encouraged. But it has insisted that magnanimity shall be tempered with justice—
that while removing disabilities and fostering paternal feeling, the essential results of
the war shall be preserved unimpaired. At every stage of the controversy the TIMES
has made partisanship subordinate to patriotism, and has interpreted in their broadest
-aspects the principles which underlie the Republican organization, and are the key to
all that is greatest and best in its career.

The demand for party purification and administrative reform harmonizes with the
declarations embodied in the first number of the TIMES: " What is good we desire to
preserve and improve ; what is evil, to exterminate or reform." The paper stands
where it has always stood when our institutions were menaced by corruption and

210 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

intrigue. It never talked about terms with rascals or " Rings.'' It never concealed or
apologized for wrong-doing in high places. It never hesitated to condemn what is evil
because the perpetrators were members of the Republican party. It never recognized
partisan obligations when the integrity of the government, local or national, was
endangered. It never allowed party affiliations to fetter its judgment or to obstruct
%the discharge of its duty to the country. These are characteristics of which the TIMES
may fairly boast, and they indicate more emphatically than mere promises the direction
of its course in the present condition of affairs.

The TIMES was never blind to that rapidly growing demoralization of our municipal
politics which culminated in the accession to power of the Tweed Ring. It followed
with unsparing denunciation the outrages upon public honor which marked the admin
istration of Mayor Wood, and it attacked persistently and vigorously the earlier
evidence of a league between Judges of the Supreme Court and the spoilers of the city.
In the great Erie warfare of 1868 the TIMES bore a prominent part. The shameful
series of injunctions and receiverships by which corrupt judges enabled Fisk, Gould
and Lane to take forcible possession of other people's property were followed by the
outspoken condemnation of the TIMES. Its course at this juncture secured for it the
bitter hostility of the confederate Tammany and Erie Rings. The indictment of its
conductors' was openly recommended to the Grand Jury by one of the Ring Judges, and
it risked both property and personal safety in its warfare on the side of honesty and
judicial purity. The stupendous naturalization frauds which paved the way for a period
of corruption and wholesale plunder in the State and city were exposed and denounced
in the TIMES. The political despotism which obtained possession of all the avenues of
justice, of legislation and of administration, and to which even the best class of New-
York citizens had begun to submit with a feeling of hopeless despair, found its only
formidable adversary in the TIMES. During 1870 and 1871, the TIMES waged, almost
single-handed, a struggle which is probably without any example in journalism. The
odds against it seemed overwhelming, and the vast majority of onlookers undoubtedly
believed that the paper would come out of the unequal contest with its property sacri
ficed and its business ruined. The brilliant success which attended that onslaught
upon the most colossal system of swindling known to modern times, tended to breed
forgetfulness of the discouraging prospects which attended the early stages of the
struggle, and the very substantial risks Avhich had to be faced during the period when
success appeared doubtful. The TIMES was never more true to the principles on which
it was founded than when it deliberately staked its very existence upon the certainty
that even in the dark days of Ring domination, against all obstacles, the cause of right
and justice must ultimately triumph.

In the great movement for a higher standard of official fidelity and political purity
which gained so decided an impetus from the overthrow of the Tammany Ring, the
TIMES has taken a leading and effective part. It occupies to-day the position of per
haps the most powerful Republican journal in the country, devoted to all that is noblest
and most progressive in the policy of its party, while ready to meet with the severest
condemnation all abuse of the party name for base ends or ignoble personal ambition.
In American journalism there is no more consistent and honorable record than that of
the New York TIMES.

THE TIMES BUILDING.

The first number of the TIMES was issued from .No. 113 Nassau street. Although,
compared with subsequent accommodations, these premises were humble, they were
in favorable contrast with other newspaper offices of that day, and were in themselves
sufficient to prove that pluck, enterprise and capital were at the back of the new ven
ture. On the 1st of May, 1854, it removed to ample quarters at the corner of Nassau
and Beekman streets. But its sojourn here was to be of brief duration, for the
business sagacity of the owners speedily saw and took advantage of an opportunity to
place the paper in one of the best locations held by any newspaper in the United
States. Early in the year 1857, the property of the " Old Brick Church," consisting of
the triangular plot of ground bounded by Spruce, Nassau and Beekman streets and
Park Row, was put upon the market, and the TIMES was fortunate enough to secure
the northern half of it. The plot it obtained was somewhat irregular in shape, being
65 feet front on what has now come to be known as Printing House Square by 105
feet on Nassau street and 100 feet on Park Row. For this site $185,000 was paid, and
on it ground was broken on the 1st of May, 1857, for the building which is still, and

OF THE UNITED STATES. 211

will be for indefinite years to come, occupied by the paper. This building, at the
time it was constructed, was far superior to any then in existence, and with all the
suggestions and improvements of the last twenty years which have been embodied
in recent architecture, is not now surpassed by any in the world. It is constructed of
Nova Scotia stone, is five stories high and has three fronts, as it extends over the area
which has just been named. It is thoroughly fire-proof throughout, which was a feat
never achieved or hardly attempted at the time it was constructed. It occupies an
area of 13,750 square feet and contains 38 large rooms, many of which are sub-divided
by partitions for business purposes and for the uses of the newspaper. This latter
occupies in the publishing, editorial and composing departments altogether 23 rooms,
some of which, however, are sub-divisions, and in addition there is the press room un
derneath the building, which by excavation under the sidewalks has been given an area
of 206 feet by 104. The entire building is fully supplied with gas, water, speaking tubes
and all other appliances for the convenience of tenants, or for that of the business for
which it was specially intended. As a great newspaper can only be done justice by
giving particulars, it is now intended to go through this building in detail, and give a
view not only of each department, but of the manner in which it is conducted.

THE PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT.

The rooms of this department occupy 65 feet front on Printing House Square by
about the same space in depth on both Nassau street and Park Row, thus giving them,
in common with all the remainder of the building used for the newspaper, three
fronts. First of all is the counting room, with entrances from three streets. Oblong in
shape, it gives ample space for the vast business which must every day be transacted.
The counter of black walnut extends across the entire length of the room, and is
surmounted at short intervals with high plate glass screens, to insure the privacy of
the clerks. It is here that the general business with advertisers and subscribers is
transacted, and there is no hour in the twenty-four when it does not present a busy
scene, but hardly at any time does it present an appearance so animated as during
those hours when the army of newspaper readers are in bed. and asleep.

In the rear of the counting room is another apartment of equal size, and connected
with it by three arched passages, which is divided by partitions into five compart
ments. First on the Park Row side is the office of the cashier, and next to him is the
private room of the publisher and chief proprietor, Mr. George Jones, and next beyond
is the office of Mr. Gilbert Jones. The other small rooms are used for miscellaneous
purposes ; one of them being devoted to the mailing bureau, which is in itself no
small portion of this department, for it is here that the huge mails of the paper are so
arranged and systematized that the largest possible amount of work is done down
stairs in the shortest possible space of time. The labors of this bureau, and indeed
of the whole force of the paper, have been greatly increased since the introduction of
the fast mail. This mail leaving the post office in New York at 4 A. M., it is easy to see
that a morning newspaper having any pretensions to enterprise has hard work to
make time, but the TIMES has done it with more success than any of its contemporaries.

THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT.

Leaving the Publishing Department and going up three flights of stairs we reach
the editorial rooms of the paper. Here are thirteen rooms, all but two of which are
devoted to the use of the editorial staff proper, and those two to the city department.
One of these two latter is used exclusively by the City Editor and his assistants, and
the other and larger rooms by the reporters, who number altogether about thirty.
It is their business to scour the city far and near for whatever items of interest
may appear from day to day, and the fullness and excellence of the TIMES' local
news for many years past bear witness to the intelligence and faithfulness with which
these gentlemen have discharged and still are discharging their duties. On the same
floor are the rooms of the editorial writers : the Exchange Editor, the Telegraphic
News Editors, the Night Editor, the Dramatic Editor, the Commercial and Financial
Editor, the Literary Editor, the Index Editor. The habits of business in this depart
ment are methodical, but varied according to the necessities of the numerous depart
ments of the work of a great daily newspaper.

It is the business of a newspaper like the TIMES to furnish its readers every morning
with every item of interest which has transpired anywhere in the world during the

212 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

previous day and night. To accomplish this end it not only needs and has a complete
corps of capable editors and intelligent reporters, but a large retinue of foreign corre
spondents who have the tact and experience necessary to observe and correctly report
all events of public interest in the localities in which they are stationed. Sometimes
the news comes by mail, but if need be the telegraph is freely used. In addition to all
these the TIMES' corps of domestic correspondents is among the largest and most
efficient in the country. It has regular correspondents in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago,
Baltimore, Washington, Albany, Richmond, Wilmington, Hartford, Raleigh, Atlanta,
New Orleans, Jackson, Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Louisville, Trenton, Harrisburg,
Pittsburg, Columbus, Cincinnati, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Omaha, Denver, Salt
Lake City and San Francisco, and many cities of lesser note. But this is not all, for no
sooner does anything of any great public interest happen, than the TIMES immediately
dispatches a special correspondent from the office in New York to the scene. Added
to all these, the TIMES has an experienced corps of political correspondents, who,
during times of political excitement, traverse the Union and furnish information in
regard to passing events.

THE COMPOSING ROOM..

All the matter prepared by the staff of editors, correspondents and reporters, after
undergoing requisite revision, is sent to the composing room, on the floor above, where
it is put in type. Here it is only necessary to briefly mention facts in order to show
the great resources and business of the establishment. There are 92 employe's, which
includes the night foreman, 7 assistants, a day assistant foreman, 83 compositors, and
in addition there is the general foreman, making 93. To all these must be added 8
proof-readers, making a total of 101 employe's on this floor. There are 68 cases at
which printers work setting type, and that they are all necessary is shown by the fact
that nearly 400,000 ems are set every day, and sometimes — when supplements are
issued— a great deal more. The only deduction to be made from this large aggregate
is that of the advertisements which stand over from day to day, and the number is
comparatively small. The most of this work is done after 6 P. M. So admirably is
the composing room organized that there is rarely any delay, never any disturbance,
in the performance of the work. The books show that the average time at which the
last " form " goes to the stereotype room is 2.37 A. M., and from this statement any
one can see that there can be no idleness during these eight hours in the large, airy
and well lighted apartment which constitutes the TIMES composing room.

THE STEREOTYPING ROOM.

After matter has been "set up," or put in type, the next process is to take
impressions of these types on paper, and as a final result produce from stereotype
plates the printed sheet with which the public is familiar. The first step is to cast
stereotype plates of the several forms, for the TIMES does not and has not for many
years printed from the types themselves. When a form is made up it is sent down in
a box moved by steam power from the top floor to the basement, some 25 feet below
the surface of the street, to the stereotyping room, where some layers of damp paper
are laid upon it, and it is then driven twice through a machine having powerful rollers,
which squeeze the paper down on the face of the type. Taken out of that, it is next
placed— with its damp paper still on it— below a heavy screw-press, the sole or lower
plate of which is a steam heated metal chamber. This hot chamber dries the paper
rapidly, and at the same time the pressure put upon it prevents any cockling or ine
quality. In a short space of time the frame or page of type is drawn out from below
this press and the dried paper peeled off its surface, when it forms a perfect matrix,
or counterpart of the type, sufficiently deep to enable a casting to be taken from it
which shall yield a page of clear-cut lettering ready for printing from. Before the
casting is taken, however, this paper matrix is made absolutely dry by being placed on
another hot plate. That only occupies a very brief space of time, and when it is satis
factorily finished the paper is trimmed carefully, and then placed face upward inside
a semicircular moll, when its edges are fastened down by bands of iron of the thickness
that the cast is meant to he. On these bands a counterpart of the mold is then let down
from a small crane, and fastened so that a semicircular chamber is formed the size of
the page of the newspaper, and about three-eighths of an inch deep all round. Into
this a pot of molten stereotyping metal is poured by two men, the mold having first
been turned on end so as to compel the metal to fill the cavity completely, and, after

OF THE UNITED STATES. 213

resting for a moment or two till the metal has set, the inner part of the mold is re
moved by the crane, the paper matrix is peeled off, scarcely browned, and capable of
being used again and again, and the solid cast is swung round and deposited, still
adhering to the mold, in another cavity exactly the shape of that from which it was
taken. Here its edges are trimmed, and the lump of metal which formed the excess
at the top of the casting sawed off by a small revolving saw driven by steam. That
done, the cast may be said to be complete, having merely to be dressed a little along
the edges of the outer columns of letters, and along the top and between the headings
of articles, and to be pared on the back to make it lie perfectly true on the cylinder in
the machine, all of which is accomplished in a very few moments. The page of letter
ing presents the appearance of a strong, solid half-cylinder of white metal, ribbed on
the inside so as to facilitate the paring off of possible inequalities, and covered on
its outer face with crisp, clean, shining letters, ready at once for the press. Only four
men are employed in this room, and they do their work with marvelous rapidity. Only
seventeen minutes are required in any case for making a matrix, and it has been done
in twelve minutes.

THE PRESS ROOM.

But the chief marvel of the mechanical department of the New York TIMES is in its
press room, which is the most perfect in the world, containing as it does not only all
the latest improvements in machinery found elsewhere, but many which are peculiar
to itself. Among these is the " wetting machine," for wetting the white paper. The
TIMES is printed on rolls of continuous paper without joint or break, each of which is
about five miles in length and 36 inches in width, and weighs about 900 pounds net.
Five of these rolls can pass through the machine and be "wet down " in an hour,
being unrolled from one side and rolled up on the other with the utmost exactness.
The paper being ready for the press, the presses themselves are next in order. The
TIMES is printed on three Walter presses, which are capable, without being pushed, of
producing 13,500 impressions each per hour, or 40,500 per hour altogether. The stere
otype plates having been placed on the presses, a roll of paper containing 6,000 copies
of the TIMES is put in its place at the end of each press in a moment by one man, by
means of a movable section of the floor raised by a hydraulic jack. The end of the
roll is put in place and the press put in motion. The paper goes upward to where the
stereotype plates forming the four pages of one side of a sheet of the paper are fastened
on a cylinder just large enough to take a sheet to go round it. Against that cylinder
there is another, identical in size, possessing a soft surface, which presses lightly
against the edge of the type, and between these the sheet passes, taking up an impres
sion as it goes. It is then carried downward round another large cylinder covered
with cloth, the " set off" on which is taken off by another cylinder in contact with it,
and that again by a rubber, in a fashion that is both simple and effective. The web of
paper, still running on, passes between the second type-covered roller and its counter
part, taking the impression on its other side of the remaining four pages ; and that
done, it runs out between two more rollers of the same circumference. The machinery
is so adjusted that the knife catches the paper exactly between each sheet, and, the
paper being held hard on each side, cuts it in two, all but a couple of tags near each
end, which are left for the purpose of pulling the sheet on between two sets of running
tapes, until it is caught by a pair of small rollers, which are driven at a greater speed
than the rest of the machine. These immediately tear the sheets apart where they
have been all but cut, and the tapes hurry on what is now a completely printed news
paper up an inclined plane, at the top of which they carry it down an oscillating frame
which moves pendulumwise so exactly that it delivers a paper precisely at each end of
its short swing on to the face of another set of running tapes, which carry it downward
on their outer face by the mere force of contact as they run. Between these tapes a
frame like a huge comb swings backward and forward, catching up one delivered
paper at every motion and flinging it down on a board. The current of air raised by
the motion of this frame suffices to hold each succeeding sheet against the tapes along
which it moves. Thus, two boys and the man who attends the machine are all the
manual labor required, and the manner of delivering the papers alternately on to two
inclined boards ready to receive them.

Formerly these presses required several boys each to attend them, but such
improvements have been made in them by Mr. Gilbert Jones since they have been in
the use of the TIMES that they have become as nearly automatic as any machines

214

THE GKEAT NEWSPAPERS

possibly can be. One man can put the roll in place, and the same man can take the
printed sheets from the other side. Some boys and men are needed to carry away the
printed sheets to the mailing and delivery rooms, but so little is human help required
by these presses that only nineteen persons in all are employed in the press room,
while formerly more than double that number were necessary. The machinery by

which all this is done is put in motion .y two engines of 40 horse power each; but only
one of them is generally used at a time, as it is the system of the TIMKS to have dupli
cates of everything in the mechanical department, so that if anyone piece should

break down the other is on the spot ready for immediate use. It has another precau
tion against any interruption, for it lias a complete machine shop in its press room, and
skilled mechanics constantly in attendance to make any repairs which may be wanted.
But with all this machinery in a space 106 feet by 104 ieet, the TIMES press room does
not appear crowded, so compact and well placed is everything. Great as are the powers
of the Walter presses, they only occupy a few feet of space each, and the wetting
machine could be placed on the top of a dining table of ordinary size. Nor is there
the griminess usually found in such places, for the TIMES lias made use of every possi
ble appliance to avoid it. The feeding of presses with ink under the old method caused
a vast deal both of foulness and waste, but under the TIMES' system, by which the ink
is pumped from a reservoir into each press as it is needed, not a drop is spilled. All
these facts are mentioned only to show that in its mechanical department, as in all
others, the paper is second to none. It is universally admitted to be the most hand
some in appearance of any paper printed, and it could not have reached nor have
maintained this distinction without the most perfect mechanism.

In addition to the daily issue of the TIMES, there is the semi-weekly edition, issued
on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the weekly edition on Wednesday of each week, all of
which have large circulations. Complete in its mechanical appliances, strong in its
resources, solid in its basis, independent and honest in its editorial management,
sincere and decisive in its political convictions, but not devoted to the interests of any
person or clique, presenting every morning all the news of the world for the previous
day in the most perfect shape, the TIMES is the embodiment of the highest standards
yet attained by American journalism.

"THE EVENING POST," NEW YORK.

ITS SEVENTY-FIFTH BIRTHDAY.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The New York EVENING POST is one of the oldest of the great American newspapers,
and is the best evening Journal published in New York. It was established in 1801,
and for more than fifty years has been under the wise editorial management of William
Cullen Bryant, the honored poet and author. Under his guidance the EVENING POST
has gained a reputation and an amount of influence equaled by very few American
journals. Believing thoroughly in the principles of Republican government, it addresses
and represents peculiarly the cultured class of our citizens, and its tone is very high.
Even its advertising columns are jealously guarded against questionable or objection
able advertisements. This fastidiousness has made it a great family newspaper, and
it, is generally acknowledged to be the door by which access is to be gained to New
York homes.

An introduction by the EVENING POST ensures an hospitable reception to any topic,
charity or business. As a contemporary published in a neighboring city says : i( The
EVENING POST is most decidedly the one daily paper in New York that can fully claim,
like the Pall Mall Gazette, to be conducted by gentlemen and for gentlemen."

Its Semi- Weekly and Weekly editions bear the same general character, both in the
quality of their matter and their audience, although, of course, special attention is
given to the Agricultural and other departments which are of peculiar interest to the
country readers.

The fact that there are a larger number of really great newspapers published in
the morning than in the evening gives the EVENING POST even more prominence than
it could otherwise have attained.

Having gained its position, however, the publishers have wisely spared no expense
to keep and advance it. The special dispatches, it is safe to assert, are more complete
and are made a much greater feature in this than in any other afternoon journal pub
lished in New York, and as the most important events happen, as a rule, in the day
time, and as the difference in time gives an evening journal the daily news of Europe,
a reader of the EVENING POST, for instance, has spread before him in a concise form.,
the daily events of the whole world.

He reads this record of the day at his home when he has both the time and the
inclination for its careful perusal and consideration. Thus, an evening journal has the
best possible opportunity for real influence.

The same thing is true, further, in respect to all announcements made in an evening
newspaper ; for. being read at home and left at home, it is naturally the medium con
sulted by the family in regard to most of the domestic needs and the family plans.
The EVENING POST is very decided in its opinions, and as it has said of itself, it " is often
called upon by a sense of duty to oppose itself to the general feeling of those from
whom a commercial paper always must receive its support ; it never hesitates to do
so. It sometimes finds a pOAverfm member of that community occupied Avith projects
which it deems mischievous ; it puts itself in his way and frustrates his designs if pos
sible. In this way it makes bitter enemies, who would break it down if they could ; it
makes also warm friends by whom it is cordially supported. Its proprietors are sat
isfied with its success and its expectations." It may interest foreigners to know
that the EVENING POST is the American Champion of Free Trade and the rights of For
eign Authors.

Its stately building (a picture of which is reproduced on the opposite page) is thor
oughly appointed for the Newspaper business, and is on the corner of the two great com
mercial thoroughfares of New York, Broadway and Fulton street.

On Broadway the building has a front of sixty-two feet and ten inches, and extends
one hundred and three feet, six inches on Fulton street. Its height abave the side-

walk is one hundred and twenty-five feet, though the cupola is fifteen feet higher. It
is divided into nine stories, but the monotony of row upon row of windows is broken
by a series of pilasters, arches, and ornamental pillars on both Broadway and Fulton
street. The entire outside walls are of the best quality Philadelphia pressed front
bricks and the trimmings of Dorchester stone.

THE NEW YORK EVENING EXPRESS,

A SKETCH I'-OK THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

THE NEW YORK EXPRESS was established as a daily
morning- journal in 1836, when the city commenced at
tlie battery and ended at Niblo's Garden, on the
C( rner of Prince street and Broadway. The up-town
omnibuses then went no further, and Union Square
was in the fields, and the head-quarters of the Man
hattan Works, which supplied the city through
wooden pipes with water, was in Chambers street.
Of the morning papers then in existence only two
survive, and of the evening only two, except the Ex-
PKESS. All other daily journals have since disap
peared, to the number of over one hundred.

The EXPRESS was started by the late JAMES BROOKS,
with ROBERT E. HUDSON as Commercial Editor, and
ERASTUS BROOKS as part owner and its Washington
Editor, a post which he occupied during the sessions
of Congress for nearly twenty consecutive years.
Mr. James Brooks had occupied the same field years
before, as editor of the Portland Advertiser, writing
letters from thence, and both earlier and later from
the South and Europe. He was among the earliest
of the Washington correspondents, though not before
Messrs. Coleman, Kingman and Mathew L. Davis, and
perhaps some others. Mr. Brooks, senior, entered
upon his editorial career in this city in June, 1836.
Some years later the old JVYj?o YorJc Advertiser (Theo.
Dwight and Wm. B. Townsend, proprietors), was
merged in the NEW YORK EXPRESS, and the two
papers were for over fifty years the corporation
journal of the city, with pay at not over $250 a year
for the honor of doing the work.

The EXPRESS was the first daily double sheet printed
in the city, and as an experiment it failed to attract
public interest, for the reason that the advertise
ments could not be found, and the MORNING EXPRESS.
then nearly as large as the London Times, was pro
nounced too cumbersome. In most parts of the
country the old folio form of the present EXPRESS is
still the favorite with the public. In March, 1S76, the
NEW YORK EXPRESS was formed into a joint stock
company, Erastus Brooks and James Wilton Brooks,
only son of James Brooks, consenting to part with
one-fifth of their interest, and to expend the new
capital in the improvement of their paper. Since
then its editorial and reportorial corps have been
greatly increased, with large additions to its ex
penses and a corresponding increase in its business
income.

Since 1836, the EXPRESS has occupied the old Tontine Buildings, at the corner of
Wall and Water streets, the offices at the present, 112 and 114 Broadway, the corner of
Wall and Nassau streets, opposite the Custom House, the narrow front and wider rear

THE GKEAT NEWSPAPERS. 219

on Tryon Row, where the EVENING EXPRESS was started, 13 and In Park Row, where it
was burned out in December, 1872, and for three years in its present premises, No. 23
Park Row, bought and built by .1. & E. Brooks, and entirely adapted to its present
large business, with its press-room far down in terra firma, and its editorial and com
posing rooms among the best ventilated and lightest rooms in the city. The premises
extend from Park Row, opposite the Post Office, to Theatre Alley, with ample light and
room to assure the health and comfort of all occupants in its seven stories.

THE SITE OF THE EXPRESS BUILDING.

Perhaps there is no plot of ground in the city that has a more memorable history
than that on which the EXPRESS Building stands. Its early associations, like the prin
ciples disseminated from the structure, embraced the whole country. One hundred
years ago it intersected the old "Commons" that stretched from St. Paul's to a
cemetery that skirted the northwest line of Chambers Street. Beyond this point were
the Collect or Great Pond, on which the Tombs was built; the "Tea Water Purnp," in
Chatham Street; "Gallows Hill," whose scaffold drank the blood of a member ol
Washington's Body Guard, who had sold his plans to the enemy, and the barracks and
jails that stretched from the eastern section of the City Hall Park to Tryon Row and Cen
tre Street. Farm houses, miles apart; wheat fields and orchards, relieved by small
villages, such as Richmond Hill, in the neighborhood of Varick and Charlton Streets,
and Greenwich (now Christopher Street) completed the scene. The " Commons." as
all the ancient records inform us, was the scene of many an encounter between the
" Liberty Boys " and the British loyalists, in 1775. The former fought for the principles
of constitutional liberty, and for a government of and by the people; and the EXPRESS,
on the self-same ground, is fighting the self-same battles over again, though happil?
with no effusion of blood.

Other associations connected with the site of the new EXPRESS Building also make
it an object of public interest. Here was the old Park Theatre, with the row of ancient
and uneven buildings which formed the block forty years ago, and it must necessarily
share in all the histrionic glories of that ancient Thespian temple. Forrest, Placide,
Charles Kean, Ellen Tree, Barrett (Gentleman George), Mme. Vestris, Charlotte Cush-
man, Vache, Fisher, Macready, Cooke, Blake, Peter Richings, and a host of other star.*
performed within its walls, "drawing crowded houses nightly." Opera, comedy,
tragedy, burlesque, extravaganza, farce— succeeded each other. In those days, ay
now, play-going gallants espoused the cause of each attractive actress whom unsym
pathetic critics would place among less favored sisters in a stock company. On one
occasion this theatre was the scene of a terrible row between the defenders and assail
ants of Mrs. John Wood, who was then playing a brief engagement within its walls.
The gallant James Watson Webb attacked the lady's personations of several characters
in his paper, the old Courier ana Enquirer, and when she appeared on the stage the
same evening, she was received by a storm of alternate applause and hisses, which
was succeeded by a general melee, in which the house was practically converted into
a prize-ring. The police finally separated the combatants.

On either side of the Park Theatre stood two memorable saloons. The first was
kept by Jas. Sweeny, the father of Peter B. Sweeny, now in Paris, and James M.
Sweeny, his brother, who recently died there. Both Peter B. and James M. were born
in that house. The second saloon was owned by one Conroy, a brother-in-law of a
" host" well known and respected in those days, named Malachi Fallen, who subse
quently founded a cosy restaurant and social meeting-house in Elm street, which was
known by the familiar name of "The Ivy Green."

We might multiply these by -gone scenes and incidents which give the site of the
EXPRESS and those immediately connected with it a bright and varied page in our local
history. In the cause of American liberty the place where the United States played
an active part against the Georges of England, and for George Washington, of the
American Colonies, the same good work is ours now, and with as brilliant prospects
of success before the country, we trust, as when the old liberty boys met to defend
the right at the mouth of the cannon. The weapon now used is the pen. which ought,
to be mightier than the sword, but which now is too often, we fear, used to pull down
rather than build up the Republic.

THE BROOKLYN "EAGLE."

A SKETCH FOU THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

THE "EAGLE" BUILDINGS.

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS. 221

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BROOKLYN EAGLE.
The BROOKLYN EAGLE is in an especial sense the journalistic representative
of the city in which it is published, and it is published in the third city in the
Union, in point of population, and the second in extent of area. The growth of
Brooklyn has been marvelous among even American cities. The BROOKLYN DAILY
EAGLE was founded in 1812 by Isaac Van Anden, who took an active interest in its
business management up to the period of his death in 1875. Brooklyn, at the time
the EAGLE was started, had been incorporated as a city but about seven years, and
it then contained a population of only 30,000. Its population is now over 500,000.
The EAGLE has steadily grown with the city, until it is now the most widely cir
culated evening journal published in this countiy. Its early contemporaries
and rivals have all passed away, and, while there are three other daily papers
published in Brooklyn at the present time, the newspaper business of the city
may be said to be concentrated in the office of the EAGLE. Designed mainly to
meet the wants of a concentrated population of half a million, it is exceptional
among newspapers in the compactness and universality of its circulation
within the sphere of its direct influence, so that it has long ago come to be ac
cepted as a truism in Brooklyh that, " Everybody who can read at all, reads the
EAGLE." As a medium of advertising, in order to reach the people of Brooklyn,
it has no rival. The extent of its advertising patronage is exceeded by only one
morning newspaper in New York, and by no evening paper in the world. Its
cii'culation is believed to be lai'ger than that of all the evening journals, of its
class, published in New York, and is exceeded but by two or three of the Me
tropolitan morning newspapers, which, while they may have sharper competi
tion, have a more extensive constituency. The circulation of the EAGLE has
more than kept pace with the growth of Brooklyn. It is also sold at the princi
pal centres of resort in New York ; has a considerable and growing mail circu
lation, and is recognized throughout the country as one of its most influential
and prosperous journals. In proportion to its circulation, the EAGLE is believed
to be the cheapest advertising medium in either city. The income of the paper
has grown to be very large, but in presenting not only the news of the world,
but the most minute reflex of the daily life of Brooklyn, its expenditure has
come to be so vast that rivalry with it has been found to be impossible.

HOW THE EAGLE BUILDINGS ARE OCCUPIED.

The EAGLE is issued from the extensive printing establishment known as
Nos. 34, 36 and 38 Fulton street. These buildings extend to the adjoining street,
and have been fitted up with the especial view of accommodating its business,
and that of the very extensive Book and Job Printing office embraced in the
establishment. These buildings are four stories in height, and are occupied as
follows :

On the basement floor are the newspaper folding rooms, and the rooms for
the clerks engaged in selling tickets, which are in turn passed to the folders,
who count off the EAGLE with a rapidity perfectly incomprehensible to those
who have not seen the quickness of the eye tested as an enumerator. At certain
hours of the day the front room is given over to bustle and excitement— and to
the newsdealers and " newsboys " who impatiently await their turn to get their
papers — each one eager to be flrst on the street with a newspaper which every
body in Brooklyn reads.

On the first floor are the counting rooms, telegraph office, newspaper-file
room, and private rooms of the business heads of the concern. In the counting
rooms there is a " Gold and Stock Indicate!-," which records during business
hours of the day all the operations of Wall street, ship arrivals and departures,
and the principal news items of the day. The counting room is one of the
most frequented centres of Brooklyn, and is usually crowded with people hav
ing business with the office. Nearly level with the first floor is a building es
pecially constructed for the accommodation of the two eight-cylinder Hoe Light
ning Presses, which can be seen from the counting rooms, from morning until
late into the afternoon, and often into the night, throwing off the various edi
tions of the EAGLE, at the rate of thirty-six thousand per hour. The EAGLE is
now stereotyped, and hence its " forms" can be printed at the same time on

222 THE GREAT jSTIWSPAPERS.

both presses. The EAGLE is the only evening newspaper in the country printed
on the Hoe Lightning Presses, which is under the necessity of duplicating its
forms by stereotyping. The rear building, fronting on Doughty street, is occu
pied by the numerous presses required by the Job Office Department.

The second floor is devoted exclusively to the business of the Book and Job
offices. Several weekly newspapers are printed here, and every description
of work is turned out in large quantities.

The third floor— Very nearly one-half of this floor is devoted to the use of
the editorial and reportorial staff employed upon the paper. Seven rooms, run
ning along the Fulton street side of the building, are occupied by the editors,
while two spacious apartments are devoted to the use of the very large staff of
repoi'ters employed on the paper. Adjoining are rooms reserved for the proof
realers, etc. The rear half of this floor is occupied by the compositors, who
" set up " the paper. This room is believed to be one of the best arranged and
best ventilated composing rooms in the country. It is lighted from the roof
and from the windows which look out from three sides of it.

On the fourth floor are the rooms occupied by the stereotypers. It also con
tains the bookbindery, the ruling, the folding, and the drying rooms, and
other apartments needed in the conduct of the job office.

POLITICAL VIEWS.

The BROOKLYN EAGLE has long ago repudiated such distinction as is to be
secured by mere party organship. In its reportorial columns equal favor is
shown to all, the main object of the paper being to daguerreotype life in Brook
lyn, with perfect impartiality and accuracy. The EAGLE has consistently advo
cated and upheld those principles of government with which the name of
Thomas Jefferson will be associated as long as our Federal system of Republi
can government continues to exist. Entirely independent of party, it is
enabled to maintain a tone of courtesy, candor and independence in its editor
ial columns, which commends it alike to the honest masses of both parties.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT.

The BROOKLYN EAGLE has been published for several years past by an in
corporated association Its stock, however, is concentrated in very few hands.
Outside of the family of its founder, Mr. Van Anden, there are but three stock
holders — one of them the gentleman who has filled for many years the position
of editor-in-chief of the paper. William C. Kingsley and Abner C. Keeney, very
well known citizens of Brooklyn, are the only other stockholders. The busi
ness interest of the EAGLE is represented by Mr. William Hester, nephew of its
founder, Mr. Van Anden.

THE EDITOR IN-CHIEF.

In the formation of political and public sentiment, the EAGLE takes a lead
ing place in the ranks of American newspapers. Its editorial conduct is under
the full control of Mr. Thomas Kinsella, who has grown up with the paper, hav
ing served it in nearly every capacity — compositor, contributor, reporter, as
sistant editor, and editor-in-chief. Mr. Kinsella takes an active part in the pub
lic affairs of his city and State. He has held various offices of trust under the
local government of Brooklyn. In 1864 he was a member of the Democratic
National convention; in 1866 he was a delegate to the Union Convention, held in
Philadelphia, to sustain President Johnson's administration; in 1872, as a zeal
ous advocate of the election of the then head of his profession— Horace Greeley
—to the Presidency of the United States, he presided over the Rochester Demo
cratic State convention, and was one of the delegates to the National Demo
cratic convention, which was held at Baltimore, and through whose action
Greeley secured the support of the Democratic party. Mr. Kinsella was a mem
ber of the House of Representatives during the Forty-second Congress.

SECRETS OF SUCCESS.

The marvelous success of the BROOKLYN EAGLE is due in part to the fact
that it has identified itself in all things with Brooklyn and her people, but
mainly to this : It is run as a newspaper, and finds its own interest in uphold
ing that of the great public, whose favor alone insures journalistic success.

THE " SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN."

THEN AND NOW.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

It was in the year 1845 that the first number of that popular illustrated news
paper, THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, was issued to the public, its circulation for
thu first few months averaging barely 300 copies per week; and it was then the

only scientific and mechanical journal in. the United States. Now, in the cen
tennial year, 1876, 50,000 copies hardly suffice the veekly demand, this number
being largely in excess of the combined circulation of all the other papers of its
class published on this continent.

In the 31 years thus passed, the history of this well known weekly paper is
contemporaneous with and largely illustrates the astonishing progress of this
country in the mechanical arts and in industrial science; and it is with feelings
of satisfaction that the proprietors refer to the public sentiment which univer
sally prevails : that THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN has done more to foster improve
ments and promote the progress of invention and the mechanical arts in this
country during the last quarter of a century than all other publications; and
although the publishers continue to regard the promulgation of practical informa
tion, on the industrial arts and mechanical progress generally, as the legitimate
aim of the paper, they are glad to know that their paper is a welcome guest
in the home and at the fireside, as well as in the library, workshop, and labor
atory. To fulfil all these requirements, a journal must record all the discov
eries in the arts at home and abroad, report all important patents as fast as they
are issued, and leave nothing that pertains to the prosperity of the manufac
turer or the comfort of the home unnoticed. With pride the publishers refer
the reading public to the past volumes of their journal, to be found in the most
important libraries at home and abroad, where they are constantly referred to
for data in all matters pertaining to discoveries and inventions.

The large subscription list and sale of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN enables its
proprietors to give out weekly the handsomest and most useful illustrated peri
odical extant. It is one of the most popular weekly journals in the world, and

"224 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS.

the cheapest periodical devoted to science, art, mechanics, and all their branches
now published in either hemisphere. For engravings of mechanical subjects,
the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN has always stood at the head of all publications of its
kind in the world, and the same artist who won a name for himself for the good
quality of his engravings on this paper a quarter of a century ago, still exe-
•cutes the superb cuts which now c;i'ace its pages; and for the superiority of such
work, none has ever excelled Iiim. The cost lor a good engraving and its pub
lication in the editorial column is but trifling compared with the benefit derived,
if one wishes to negotiate sales of territorial rights, or the manufactured article.
The advantage of placing a picture and description of a new invention before
the eyes of fifty thousand persons, most of which are of the class interested in
new discoveries and new devices, cannot fail of attracting the attention of all
of this vast number, and of being of special interest to some. The receipt of a
model, photograph, good drawing, or a copy of the Letters Patent, is sufficient
to estimate the cost for engraving, and we would recommend parties to this
course in advance of giving the order for the execution of the work.

There is not a country or a large city on the face of the globe where the
paper does not circulate. We have the best authority for stating that some of
the largest orders for machinery and patented articles from abroad have come
to our manufacturers through the medium of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, the par
ties ordering having seen the article illustrated or advertised in these columns
Small models, as well as photographs and drawings, may be sent by mail.

Messrs. Munn & Co., finding that their endeavors were so widely appreciated
by the public, commenced on January 1, 1876, the publication of an additional
paper, entitled the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT. The success of the new
enterprise was ensured as soon as the first number was issued ; and within three
months of its first appearance, it attained a circulation of 15,000 copies weekly,
making it, with the single exception of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, the most widely
spread and valuable advertising medium in the country. It is, like the SCIEN
TIFIC AMERICAN, illustrated with a constant succession of excellent engravings
of new engineering enterprises and mechanical subjects.

In 1846 Messrs. Munn & Co. established, in connection with the publication
of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, the buoiness of soliciting patents, and soon after
wards established branch offices at Washington, London, Paris, Brussels, and
Vienna. In the past thirty years this concern has grown till it has become the
largest patent-soliciting establishment in the world, having been honored with
the confidence of more than 60,000 clients, and prosecuted to a successful issue
no less than 40,000 applications for letters patent in this and other countries.
This vast number is not much less than one fourth of the whole patent business
of the United States, and has been acquired by lengthened experience and
unrivaled facilities for transacting all business connected with patents and the
Patent Office. The principal or home office in which this large amount of busi
ness is conducted is represented in the engraving at the commencement of this
article; and the large number of experts constantly employed have been
selected mostly from the ranks of the Patent Office at Washington, and they
comprise men of unusual ability for the execution of the duties of their
peculiar profession. Inventors who visit this great establishment, or communi
cate their inventions by writing, will find that the best professional advice and
instructions are freely given, and that all such communications are kept strictly
confidential. Daily access to the records of the Patent Office, through the branch
office of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN in Washington, renders it possible for Munn &
Co. to conduct their immense business of soliciting patents in the United States
and all foreign countries in the quickest, cheapest, arid most satisfactory manner,
The principal office of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN and the patent department is
located at 37 Park Row, New York City.

THE NEW YORK LEDGER.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

It was in the latter part of the year 1854 that ROBEHT BONNER set him
self the task of making the NEW YORK LEDGER the best and the best-known
family paper in America. Mr. BONNER was then thirty years old, and had
already had several years' experience as a publisher and an editor. He did not
enter upon his new undertaking without much and well-considered delibera
tion. He possessed unusual advantages for the enterprise. He \ras not only
an experienced publisher and editor, but he was also a practical printer, and a
thorough master of his business iu every department and phase of it.

LEDGER BUILDING.

During the year 1833 Mr. BON.VER got his plans well in hand, and though
limited in means, he accomplished most gratifying results. The sale of tho
LEDGEU ran rapidly up to a high figure, and the profits soon became largo. But

226 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

Mr. BOXNER was not content with a measure of success that might have satisfied
an ordinary ambition. He turned his profits into his business, and pushed the
LEDGER with unexampled enterprise and liberality. He, and his paper, and
his energy, and his novel modes of procedure became matters of general public
discussion.

The circulation of the LEDGER continued to increase, and before the close o'f
the year 1836 it far exceeded two hundred thousand copies a week. From that
time it has constantly grown in prosperity, in reputation, and in power, until,
in its commanding influence, in the extent and character of its circulation, and
in the vastness of the fortune which it has yielded to its proprietor, the NEW
YORK LEDGER has become the most successful literary and family paper of
which we have any knowledge. Its circulation at times has reached over three
hundred antl fifty thousand copies.

In truth, the success of the LEDGER is looked upon as one of those marvels
of the times which nobody expects to comprehend. The general impression is
that the LEDGER has been pushed with almost superhuman energy, and con
ducted with almost superhuman sagacity; but of course the public at lai-ge can
not be expected to understand or even to remember just what this energy and
sagacity have done, or how they have done it. It is doubtful even if the most
assiduous readers of the LEDGER for the last twenty years could name a tenth
of the illustrious statesmen, editors, educationists, divines, scholars, essayists
and poets who have in that time written for it.

We must confess that until we recently examined the files of the LEDGER we
ourselves had no idea what an astounding list of contributors it has had. We
cannot give the names of all these contributors— it would be too much like
publishing a dictionary of authors; but must content ourselves with mention
ing some of the more eminent ones.

Prominent among the names of statesmen who have written for the LEDGER
are those of Edward Everett, James Buchanan, President of the United States;
Henry Wilson, Vice-President of the United States; George Bancroft, and Gen
eral N. P. Banks. Also, United States Senators Anthony and Sprague of Rhode
Island, Edmunds of Vermont, Ferry of Connecticut, Stockton of New Jersey,
Sherman of Ohio, Norton of Indiana, and Cameron of Pennsylvania.

Many of the greatest journalists we have ever had in America have been
contributors to the LEDGER; among others, James Gordon Bennett (senior),
Horace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond, George Ripley, Charles A. Dana, and
George D. Prentice and William Cullen Bryant, also eminent as poets as well as
distinguished as editors. In addition to these, in the list of poets, we find the
names of N. P.Willis, George P. Morris, Mrs. Sigourney, Phebe Cary, Alice Cary,
Emma Alice Brown, Ethel Lynn, Nathan D. Urner, John G. Saxe, Henry W.
Longfellow and Alfred Tennyson.

On the list of prose contributors to the LEDGER we find the names of Charles
Dickens, Fred. S. Cozzens, Paul Morphy, James Parton, Fanny Fern, Mrs. Horace
Greeley, Mrs.Southworth, Mrs.Harriet Lewis, Miss Eliza A.Dupuy, Mary Kyle Dal
las, Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., Leon Lewis, Prof. William Henry Peck. Judge Clark, Miss
L. M. Alcott, Mrs. Elizabeth Blackwell, Lydia Maria Child, Mrs. Horace Mann,
Mrs. N. P. Willis, Madame Le Vert, Mrs. General Banks, Mrs. President Barnard,
Mrs. Howard Crosby, Mrs. Chancellor Ferris and Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont.

The presidents of many of the leading colleges in America have also been
contributors to the columns of the LEDGER. Among these eminent scholars were
Rev. Thomas Hill, D.D..LL. D., President of Harvard College; Rev. Theodore
D. Woolsey,D.D., President of Yale College; Rev. John Maclean, D.D., President
of the College of New Jersey; Rev. D. R. Goodwin, D.D., President of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania ; Rev. Asa D. Smith, D.D., President of Dartmouth College ;
Rev. W. A. Stearns, D.D., President of Amherst College; Rev. Mark Hopkins,
D.D., LL.D., President of Williams College ; Rev. Laurens P. Hickok, D.D., LL.D.,
President of Union College; Rev. E. O. Haven, D.D., LL. D., President of the
University of Michigan; Rev. Joseph Cummings, D.D., LL. D,, President of the
Wesleyan University; Rev. S. G. Brown, D.D., President of Hamilton College,
and Rev. M. B. Anderson, LL. D., President of the University of Rochester.

In addition to these eminent ocholars and divines, we also find the following

of Rhode Island.

What other paper can show such a list of illustrious contributors ? History,
biography, statesmanship, theology, poetry, art, science, philosophy, literature,
and whatever relates to the educational interests and the social and domestic
well-being of the people, have their representatives and advocates here. If we
properly grasp this great fact it will enable us to get some notion of the means
by which the LEDGER has gained the commanding position which it now holds.
It always has the largest number of great and distinguished contributors writ
ing for it. It appeals to and gratifies every wholesome literary and educational
taste. It is always a live paper, and perpetually keeps pace with the genius and
spirit of American progress. It contains the purest, sweetest and most delight
ful stories, striking narratives and instructive biographical and historical
sketches; also, a popular and carefully-prepared collection of scientific facts,
forming a weekly register of the latest scientific discoveries.

All kinds of questions which interest the great family of man are also an.
swered in the columns of the LEDGEK; and a great amount of information on
matters of law, business, marriage, love, housekeeping, the relations of friends,
personal differences, etiquette, plans of life, &c., is thus communicated.

As the LEDGER is largely the oracle of the young people of the country, one
of its great guiding principles is to inculcate the sentiments of self-respect and
self-reliance in its readers, and thus to strengthen and render more manly the
characters which are just assuming form, to endure through all their days.
Thus, while the LEDGER is read with the warmest and most intense interest by
hundreds of thousands of persons, it is doing much to inculcate sound principles
wherever it goes, and to make better men and women ot the rising generation
This is one reason why the LEDGER is such a general favorite, and why the educa
tionists of the country like to write for it. A College President, or a Doctor of
Divinity, who addresses the public through the columns of the LEDGER reaches
every city, town, village and hamlet in the United States, and speaks to hundreds
of thousands of intelligent people.

One of the most striking facts in connection with the LEDGER is the continu.
ous vitality of Mr. BOXNER'S personal energy and business enterprise. He is as
wide awake now as he was twenty years ago. He is always on the alert for any
new feature that he thinks will render his paper more useful and attractive, and
he never allows the cost to stand in the way of his securing a good thing for the
LEDGER.

The grand result of all this enterprise and sagacity— of this vast array of
eminent and popular contributors— of these deep, pure streams of literature
which have been flowing through the columns of the LEDGER for so many years
—is, that the popularity of the NEW YORK LEDGER is now unbounded ; its circu
lat ion covers the whole land ; the young, the middle-aged, and the old, the rich
and the poor, the learned and the unlearned alike find entertainment and in
struction in its pages ; it enlivens and brightens thousands upon thousands of
homes; it is firmly fixed in the confidence and the affection of the American
people, and its influence— which is always on the side of virtue, morality and
religion— is immeasurable.

" THE EVENING NEWS," DETROIT, MICH.

A GREAT JOURNALISTIC SUCCESS IX THE WEST.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

For several years Mr. James E. Scripps, then manager of the Detroit Tribune,
had entertained a growing conviction that a cheap, popular newspaper,
somewhat similar to the Boston Herald, the New York Sun, and the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, might be made as great a success in the West as in the Eastern
cities, although all attempts of the kind had previously proven failures. From
a long practical acquaintance with journalism, and an attentive study of it as
a science, he believed that the rocks and shoals upon which so many news
papers had been wrecked might be avoided, and publishing be made as safe
and certain as any other business enterprise. It was ia pursuance of this theory
that, on August 23, 1873, THE EVENING NEWS was launched in Detroit, the chief
city of Michigan. The new venture was thoroughly advertised beforehand, an
able corps of assistants was secured, embracing the very best men that could
be had, and a four cylinder Hoe press was purchased, with a capacity of 10,000
copies per hour. Within five months THE EVENING NEWS had reached a paying
basis, and was printing regularly over 5,000 copies each afternoon. By the
close of its first year its circulation exceeded 10,000 copies; its second year
closed with a regular average issue of 17,025 copies, and by May 1, 1876, it had
risen to over 18,000 copies each day. The success of THE EVENING NEWS is
owing to several causes.

1st. The paper is cheap and readily within the reach of the masses, being
sold to the public at two cents per copy, or at fifty cents per month.

2d. It is of such a size (22x32 inches) that it is kept constantly crowded, either
with advertising at good, fair prices, or with choice reading matter— nothing
dull, prosy or carelessly prepared being permitted in its columns.

3d. It has a large staff of capable writers, and aims to maintain as high a
standard of excellence in the character of work done upon it as any newspaper
in the country.

4th. It is independent in all things, and neither fears a foe nor shields a
friend.

5th. It is emphatically a newspaper, and is looked to by the people of Michigan
both for the earliest tidings of current events and the most trt'--itwor(hy accounts
of them.

Between 7.000 and 8,000 copies are circulated throughout the State of Michigan,
while the remainder are taken in and around the city of Detroit, which, with
its suburbs, exceeds 150,000 inhabitants.

What the Herald is to Massachusetts, the Sun to New York, and the Public
Ledger to Pennsylvania, THE EVENING NEWS is to the prosperous and growing
State of Michigan, and the border counties of Ohio, Indiana and Ontario.

The actual number of papers printed and sold in the first year of THE
EVENING NEWS history was 2,063,950. In the second year the number rose to
4,097,463, and for the first eight months of the third year to 3,489, 190, indicating a
total for the full year (which does not close till August 23d) of 5,2J3.785.

THE EVENING NEWS is one of the very few newspapers in the United States
which can afford to publish from week to week its exact circulation. This it
has conscientiously done from tho first.

' THE MORNING^NEWS," SAVANNAH, GA.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

In point of rapid growth and prosperity, the ranking paper of the Southern
States is the Savannah (Ga.) MORNING NEWS, of which Mr. J. II. E.still is pro
prietor, lie has just moved into a new building ot his own, which, in its finish
and appointments, has no equal in any of the more Southern States, and is the
first building of the kind south of Maryland and Kentucky.

Its erection was commenced on the 6th of July, 1875, and its occupation took
place on the 15th of January, 1876, the 26th anniversary of the paper. It presents
an attractive and imposing exterior, is four stories on a basement, with neat
front of Georgia granite, and from the street to the top of the cupola is eighty-
eight feet high. The arrangements of the building are admirable, and afford
ample facilities for the various departments of the newspaper publication office,
the extensive job to the cily, and a

printing estab- fm IB, practical evi-

lishment, and the
blank book manu-
factory and bind
ery. Communica
tion is had with
the various floors
by means of
speaking tubes,

the entire build
ing is supplied
with all the mod
ern conveniences
and comforts,
with thorough
ventilation and
protection
against fire, and,
in brief, is a model

litical opinions in the South, by its persistent and fearless advocacy of consti
tutional liberty, steadily progressed in the good will of the community. During
the first decade of its existence it had written the obituaries of two of its
original competitors and four subsequent journalistic rivals, and at the com
mencement of the war, the MORNING NEWS and the old Republican were in sole
possession of the field, and were undisturbed during the continuance of the
struggle.

The career of the MORNING NEWS during the war was similar to that of most
papers in Southern cities, with the difference that it never suspended, save
for a few days, consequent upon the occupation of the city by the Federal forces.

From that time until 1867, when the present proprietor took charge, the MORN
ING NEWS had a very precarious existence. From that period onward, however,
there was a marked change in the paper; energy, good management, with the
expenditure of every dollar that could be spared, soon placed the MORNING
NEWS far in advance of its contemporaries, several new papers having been
started after the close of the war. One by one these journalistic enterprises

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

drooped and died, and in the summer of 1875, the MORNING NEWS, by absorbing
the Advertiser, became the only daily paper in Savannah, and is so to this day,
with little prospect of having any competition, as the experiences of the past
ten years have demonstrated the fact that in the South, where there is almost
entire unanimity of political views among the whites, one live, progressive
journal fills the public demand. Such a journal is the MORNING NEWS, the ac
knowledged head of the Georgia press, from its large circulation and great
influence.

Particular attention is given to Georgia and Florida affairs, as also to South
Carolina news, in which States the NEWS circulates largely, especially in Florida,
where its circulation almost equals the combined circulation of the entire press
of the State. Hence, to those desirous of obtaining correct information in re
gard to Southwest Georgia and Florida, the MORXING NEWS is invaluable. In all
its departments the paper is fully up with the spirit of the age, and is a credit to
Southern journalism.

The NEWS, however, does not confine its efforts to the section in which it is
published, but stands prominent among Southern journals as a first-class me
dium for general intelligence, and as a bold and fearless exponent of the princi
ples of the democratic party. It publishes three editions— a daily, tri-weekly
and weekly.

The rank which the NEWS has attained among the newspapers of the South
is somewhat remarkable when it is taken into consideration that Savannah was
outranked by a number of other cities in population before the war.

"THE NEW YORK WEEKLY."

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The NEW YORK WEEKLY, which is universally recognized as " the greatest
story and sketch paper of the age," came into the possession of its present pro
prietors, Messrs. STREET & SMITH, in March, 1859. At that time its circulation
was about 28,000 copies, and outside of the metropolis it was little known. Now
the name of the NEW YORK WEEKLY has a familiar ring in every habitation
within the boundaries of American civilization. Its constituency is numbered
by millions, and its circulation is greater than that of any other paper in the
world. •»

The remarkable prosperity of the NEW YORK WEEKLY cannot be attributed
to chance or luck. The tact, judgment, industry and enterprise of STREET &
SMITH have commanded success where men of less pluck and energy would
have ingloriously failed.

Many publishers who have tried the experiment are aware that it is no
child's play to compete with the numerous literary papers now established. But
the NEW YORK WEEKLY, in its competition for popular favor, long since stepped
far in advance of all opposition, and is now considered the leading literary
paper in the world.

"THE NEW YORK WEEKLY" ESTABLISHMENT.

A brief reference to the NEW YORK WEEKLY establishment, with a descrip
tion of its various departments, may prove interesting to the reader. The NEW
YORK WEEKLY buildings are located at Nos. 27, 29 & 31 ROSE STREET, within
sight of the City Hall and the Post-office.

THE PUBLICATION OFFICE.

The private offices of Messrs. STREET & SMITH and the publication depart
ment are on the second story of No. 31. The office of Mr. FRANCIS S. STREET
fronts on Rose street; and here the contributors and visitors who call for the
first time are amazed on beholding piles of unpublished manuscripts, some in
safes and some on shelves.

The aggregate value of manuscripts now on hand, we have learned, is over
two hundred thousand dollars. Fancy for a moment the anxiety with which
these manuscripts are contemplated by the hundreds of writers whose busy
brains and nimble fingers produced them. For years many of the authors have
impatiently awaited the appearance of their works in print, and with keen eyes
scanned each number of the NEW YORK WEEKLY, with the hope of finding the
announcement that at last a definate day has been named for the appearance of
the story which, it is hoped, is to bring fame, and consequently fortune, to the
author.

At the rear of the second floor is the sanctum of Mr. FRANCIS S. SMITH, which
is tastefully decorated with paintings of a high order of merit. Here Mr. SMITH'S
pleasant face may be seen in a cloud of blue smoke, for he is an inveterate
smoker, and seems to derive poetic inspiration from a cigar. Here the
voluminous correspondence received each day is glanced over by Mr. SMITH
after the business letters have been selected therefrom by Mr. STREET, who is
the business manager and attends to all the financial matters. Mr. SMITH
devotes his attention exclusively to the literary management of the paper, and
while each partner is in a measure independent in his own sphere, perfect
harmony prevails.

The Publication Department is between the two offices just mentioned , The

232 THE GREAT XEWSPAPEKS

cashier and the receiving and mail clerks occupy this portion of the building
The sides of the room are faced with boxes containing back numbers of the NEW
YORK WEEKLY, for which there is a constant demand.

THE MAILING ROOM.

The mailing room is 011 the second floor of No. 29. Numerous clerks are
here kept busy putting the names of new subscribers in the mail books, writing
wrappers, and preparing for the post-office the immense edition which each
week is forwarded to mail subscribers.

EDITORIAL ROOMS.

The editorial rooms are directly over the publication department. On one
side of the room is the library — a collection of useful works of reference. The
great variety of information supplied by this library may be inferred by glancing
over the correspondence column of the NEW YORK WEEKLY. Authors cannot
object to our terming the editorial department '• the council chamber of a
literary grand jury." Here a jury of four experienced journalists sit in judg
ment upon the various manuscripts received. Upon their decision rests the
hopes and fears of thousands of writers who have sought the NEW YORK
WEEKLY as a medium to spread their productions broadcast throughout the
land.

THE ENGRAVING DEPARTMENT.

The engraving department is on the same floor with the editorial rooms.
The blocks from which the illustrations are printed are here engraved by a
corps of competent artists. The subjects for illustration are usually selected by
the editors, but sometimes by the draughtsmen.

THE COMPOSITION ROOM.

The composition room is on the fourth floor, over the editorial rooms. Here
are arranged in proper order the multitudinous types which each week impart
to the world instruction, entertainment, and amusement.. Here the interesting
stories, the suggestive essays, the stirring poems, and mirth-arousing anecdotes
are converted from manuscripts, letter by letter, and word by word, into square
" forms " of type, ready for the electrotyper. So large is the circulation of the
NEW YORK WEEKLY that nine sets of plates are taken by the electrotype!.- These
duplicates are absolutely necessary, as nine presses, working night and^day,
are required to print the immense edition of the NEW YORK WEEKY.

THE PRESS-ROOM.

The press-room is in the building No. 27 Rose street. In this department the
nine presses, moved by an engine of 160 horse-power, may be seen at work, night
and day, throwing off the printed sheets, ready for the counter, who counts and
arranges the papers in bundles of fifty. One man is constantly employed count-
ing the NEW YORK WEEKLY, and performs no other duty, his entire time being
occupied in this work. When the edition is all printed, it is conveyed in wagons
to the establishment of the American News Company, the wholesale agents, by
whom it is distributed to the various retail agents throughout the country.

The BOYS OF THE WORLD, a paper intended for the instruction and entertain
ment of the rising generation, is also published by STREET & SMITH. This paper,
although but seven months established, has a circulation of over 60,000 copies,
and is greatly admired by the young folks.

The MAMMOTH MONTHLY READER is another publication issued by STREET &
SMITH. This, also, has a wide circulation, chiefly among mail subscribers, to.
whom it is sent at the low price of seventy -five cents per year.

THE NEW YORK "CLIPPER.'

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

Issued originally on April :?0, 1853, this is the oldest sporting paper in
America. Its editor at the beginning is its editor to-day, and this enables the
paper to be consistent with itself. Its reports are the work of trained minds,
who have seen years of associated service ; its summaries are compiled with
care, so as to be a reference for all time ; its comparative reliability has passed
into a proverb, and its decisions upon mooted points are solicited from almost
every known quarter. Recognized lor more than twenty years as the favored
organ of the sporting community in America, since 1855 it has steadily grown
in popular regard as the leading amusement journal of America. It is a reflex
of -every phase of show life; its correspondents, almost ubiquitous, are
numerous; its reports of amusements are fuller than those of any other journal
published on this continent, while covering a greater area of countiy ; and its

tired ^nes, have of THEN", i. "CLIPPEK " BUILDING. lhe week, Record of
the De.ths of Prominent Individuals, CLIPPER Post-office List, and, finally, the
department known as Answers to Correspondents, which, although from time to
time treating of almost every known subject, are especially serviceable to
persons seeking information concerning amusements or sports, the most trust
worthy ad complete record of both of which are the files of the paper. The
questions thus answered weekly have the supreme merit of being bona fide;
and, aparfrom the instruction they afford, the answers are invaluable as de
termining Disputes alike in the social circle and among professional people.

THE NE\ YORK CLIPPER is essentially a journal of record and of reference.
It is to be ejected that a newspaper possessing so many features, and in its
fifty-six long Columns of compact type covering so vast a field, should be in
demand in th business community. The extent of this demand is attested
weekly by adVj-Uscments filling several pages, making public proclamation of
manifold induces, and representing a thousand different interests. It has

234 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

created a special class of advertisers, and yet all classes avail themselves of its
columns, for its moderate tariff places it within reach of all. Its rates of adver
tising are :

For cards coming under the head of Amusements, fifteen cents per line for
each insertion ; for cards of a Miscellaneous or Sporting character, twenty cents
per line; for Notices, such as extracts from other papers and incorporated in
News Departments (not to be inserted more than once), thirty cents per line.
The terms are cash, with a reduction of twenty per cent, on all advertisements
paid for three months in advance. The paper has no advertising agents, and
has never solicited an advertisement. The subscription prices are $5 per
annum, $2.50 for six months, and $1.23 for three months; single copies, 10
cents. To clubs of four or more a reduction of fifty cents is made on each
single subscription; but subscribers in Canada and the British Provinces are
charged $1 per annum extra, to cover postage. No subscriptions in New York
City are taken. All business letters or communications must be addressed to
FRANK QUEEN, Editor and Proprietor NEW YORK CLIPPER, corner of Centre
and Leonard streets, New York, where the paper occupies an elegant building
expressly erected for it in 1869.

" TIMES," TROY, N. Y.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The TROY TIMES was founded in 1851 by Francis & Thompson. The latter
retired in about one year, and John M. Francis continued the paper alone as edi
tor and publisher until 1863, when Henry O'R. Tucker became his partner and the
business manager of the concern. The TIMES is one of the most succcessful jour
nals in New York State, and enjoys a larger advertising patronage than any other
paper in the State outside of the cities of New York and Brooklyn. Its circula
tion is nearly double that of any daily in the State not metropolitan, and it is
the favorite journal, not only in the city of Troy, but also in Northern New York
and the adjacent portions of Vermont and Massachusetts. Its area of circulation
and influence extends from Troy northward along both shores of Lake Cham-
plain to the very borders of Canada.

"TIMES" BUILDING.

The TIMES has an influence commensurate with its business success,
and its opinions and sentiments on all subjects are widely quoted, and
command general attention. Its editor Hon. John M. Francis, has achieved
almost a national reputation in his profession; while as a diplomatic rep
resentative of our government at the court of Greece from 1872 to 1874, when
he resigned the position, and as a traveler his name is well known in
distinguished and educated circles in Europe. The TIMES is published in an
elegant iron building costing upwards of $150,000, and its office appointments
are unusually complete in detail and perfect in arrangement. The building
occupies one of the most valuable sites in the city of Troy. It is four stories
high, surmounted by a French roof with towers, and presents a very imposing
architectural appearance. Its dimensions are 130 feet in length by 50 in width.
The papei is printed upor- a four-cylinder Hoe rotary press, but its proprietors
are now contemplating the purchase of a web perfecting machine, with which
to lay its large and constantly-increasing edition more quickly and satisfac
torily before its readers. The TIMES is Republican in its political convictions,
and an earnest advocate of the principles of that party. During the war, so
heartily had it espoused the cause of the government, that in the draft riot in
the city of Troy, July, 1863, its office was mobbed, and all its type and material

236 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

destroyed. The TIMES is a folio 29x41 inches in size, and contains eight columns
upon each page. On Saturdays the size of the paper is increased by the addi
tion of one column per page, in order to accommodate the pressure upon its
advertising department. The system which prevails in the management of its
•business departments — especially in the arrangement and classification of its
advertisements— is perfect in detail and admirably carried out. This, together
with the large circulation of the paper, and the relative cheapness of its adver
tising rates compared with those of journals of inferior circulation, makes its col
umnsso attractive and valuable to all who desire to reach the public through the
press. The TIMES is admirably printed, and typographically is excelled in appear
ance by no daily journal anywhere. II is a representative newspaper every
way— in the clearness and freshness of its editorial discussions, in the unrivalled
excellence of its news department and miscellaneous selections and in the full
ness and intelligence of its correspondence from all parts of- the world. As a
newspaper simply, it ranks with the best in this country ; while as an advertis
ing medium it has no equal (in fact no single journal approaches it) in the ter
ritorial limits to which its circulation is confined.

THE EVENING BULLETIN,"

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION

This journal was founded in 185."), at a time when corruption in public affairs
at San Francisco had become the rule, and all the avenues of justice were so
completely in possession of the vicious classes, that virtue scarcely dared to
raise its head There was slight exaggeration in the assertion often made in
those days, that a ruffian thirsting for the blood of an enemy, or desiring to
remove some human obstacle from his own path, could bargain in advance,
with sheriffs and courts, and definitely arrange the sum for which he should be
put through the forms of a bogus trial, and acquitted of the murder which he
contemplated. Gamblers, thieves and ballot-box stuffers were the terror of the
cities. The great majority of the people silently mourned this condition of
affairs, but seemed powerless. The desperadoes were organized, and therefore
formidable. The honest masses were without organization, and so their senti
ments were not consolidated and embodied in action. It was in this condition
of society that the EVENING BULLETIN came into existence. Its aim was, first,
to interest the people by providing the fullest and most reliable news; and
when its audience was thus secured, its second effort was addressed to the
task or arousing: public indignation against the vicious classes, and to concen
trate a sounc1 sentiment for aggressive warfare upon them. It not only ex
posed the criminal acts which were sapping the foundations of society, but
boldly named the men who perpetrated or were responsible for them. From
its first hour it was a success, morally and financially. The masses rallied to
the support of its utterance of truths which were already in the heads and
hearts of all good citizens, and which, now found voice and expression through
.a fearless and independent journal. Its founder lost his life at the hands of one
whose iniquities it had exposed. Then the people arose en masse, in the vigil-
ance committee of 185G, visited., swift and sure justice upon assassins, drove
ballot-box stuffers, corrupt officials and criminals of every grade beyond the
borders of the State, and initiated the reform movement which has freed San
Francisco from debt and kept;it» free, and which has given it, ever since, the
best average municipal government to be found upon the continent.

The BULLETIN'S existence has been somewhat stormy. It is ever the foe of
jobbers against public interest; and of corporations and monopolies when they
abuse their power to oppress the people. Necessarily it has challenged the ill
will of tho selfish and corrupt;: but it has constantly won the approval of all
who set tho true interests of the masses above the greed of the few. Sometimes
it has, for a few days, been thought to be in error, when it pointed out some pub
lic wrong and persistently warned the people against its consummation. But in
variably the result has vindicated its wise foresight, and the cavils ot doubters
have been turned into paeons of praise. Subsidized journals have been started,
time and again, to draw off its business, limit its power and cripple its influence ;
but the people, to whom it was ever faithful, have adhered to it with as singular
fidelity, and " the gates of hell " have not prevailed against it. A memorable
instance of its faithfulness against powerful and threatening influences, and of
the defeat of those who, whether ignorantly or maliciously, sought its destruc
tion, is fresh in the memory of all. During the autumn of last year it persist
ently opposed a j,ob, secretly engineered by the then President of the Bank of
California, to saddle the city of San Francisco with a debt of many milions,
ostensibly for the purchase of city water works, but really in order that the bank
President might reap for himself over $3,000,000 of profit, out of more than
double that sum which was to be taken from the city in excess of the true value
of the property to be sold. To this end he had corrupted and controlled political

238 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

conventions and demoralized political parties to an alarming degree. Day by
day he denied the facts, and vicious journalists were subsidized to lavish false
hood and abuse upon the BULLETIN'S conductors, in the hope of silencing its
batteries or impairing their effectiveness. Just then the Bank of California sus
pended, and, simultaneously, its president met his tragic end. The panic and
wild confusion which followed were terrible and severe. For a brief time a
part of the public was made to believe that the BULLETIN had done injustice to
the bank President, and had precipitated or created the evils associated with his
failure and death. But soon the truth came out; his leading connection with
the water job stood confessed; his responsibility for squandered millions and
his betrayal of his old and best friends and most sacred trusts were all revealed.
Then the BULLETIN was vindicated once more, and its influence, circulation,
power and patronage became greater than ever before.

The BULLETIN is in all respects a first-class journal. Nothing is admitted to
its editorial, news or advertising columns that can offend the most fastidious
sentiment or taste. Thus it is essentially a family paper. Its financial articles
and market reports are carefully prepared, and kept scrupulously free from all
speculative influence. For these reasons it is found in every banking institution
and all first-class mercantile establishments. It presents a rare instance in
which an evening journal is recognized as the financial authority in a
great mart of commerce and trade. Independent in all things, but neutral in
nothing, its opinions upon public topics are as freely and explicitly declared
as they are carefully considered and adopted. Thus its influence upon public
affairs is deep and strong; and seldom has an unfaithful public servant been
able to stand up under its criticism; or has any unjust measure survived its
earnest assault. There are few jouinals in the country which can present such
a record; but it is one which every well-informed and truthful Californian will
accord it without hesitation.

As a literary journal it has no superior 011 tne Pacific, and its very large
weekly as well as daily circulation supplies the reading community with a great
variety of miscellaneous matter, embracing the whole field of public affairs,
current events throughout the world, agriculture, manufactures, practical
philosophy as applied to popular wants, and whatever else it is the office of good
journalism to supply. A glance at its columns will attest the high estimation in
which it is held by advertisers who desire t o reach the intelligent and cultivated
classes; it attests also the fact that the BULLETIN affords its proprietors an
adequate reward for the intelligence, energy and enterprise which mark its
conduct in every department. The BULLETIN Company consists of Messrs.
LORING PICKERING and GEORGE K. FITCH, who have been prominent in Cali
fornia journalism from its earliest date, and J. W. SIMONTON, long known in
connection with the New York Daily Times, and during the last ten years as
general agent and executive officer of the Associated Press*.

'THE MORNING CALL," SAN FRANCISCO.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

This journal was established in 1.856. It was then little larger than a letter
sheet, but was eagerly sought by the multitude who could not afford to buy other
newspapers at the high prices then general in the Golden State. Gradually its
dimensions increased with its growing prosperity, until in 1869, when it came
into the hands of its present proprietors, with a daily circulation of about
11 ,000 copies. At this time it was about the present size of the New York Sun,
The new proprietors put into the concern abundant capital, and, what was of
more importance, the experience of a lifetime employed in successful jour
nalism. Having procured an eight-cylinder Hoe Lightning Press and other
machinery for its use, its dimensions were again increased, until it became the
largest paper in America published at its price, or in the world, with the pos
sible exception of the London Telegraph. The subscription rate is 12£ cents
weekly, per six issues, or 15 cents including the Sunday edition. Now, the
pressure upon its advertising columns compels the printing of a full-sized
double sheet on Sundays and a half sheet supplement twice per week.

The circulation of the MORNING CALL, is most remarkable when we consider
that the population of the entire State, excluding 100,000 Chinese, does not exceed
700,000, and that 250,000 is a liberal estimate for San Francisco itself. For more
than two years the CALL'S circulation has exceeded an average of 30,000 daily. At
this time it is above 33,500 per day, and still rising. When one reflects that this is
equal to one copy for every seven and a half men, women, and children in the
city, it will be seen to be a marvellous evidence of success. A similar per
centage to the 1,500,000 population (a low estimate) of New York and its imme
diate suburbs, would give the journal enjoying it a circulation of more than
200,000 copies daily. That there is no exaggeration in the CALL'S claim on this
score is readily established, because its proprietors freely admit to their press
room any respectable party, at any time, to inspect its work and satisfy himself.
Its regular shipment from New York City of 2,600 reams of printing paper per
month, for use of the CALL, will also attest itsjwonderful circulation to parties at
the East who, naturally enough, can scarcely understand the possibility of such
a patronage.

It follows that the MORNING CALL is in the hands of all classes. No matter what
other newspaper he takes, the intelligent reader adds the CALL. The poor, the
rich, the merchant, banker, farmer, trader, mechanic, artisan— all, from the
highest to the humblest, buy and read it. Advertisers crowd to it, because they
have learned that no other journal can give such wide publicity to their wants
or wares. The journal is pre-eminently a newspaper. Entirely independent in
politics, while it gives all parties fair and eq\ml representation, it avoids
partisan discussion of any question in such manner as to offend honest differ-
en ces of opinion among honest men. But, 1 ike the Evening Bulletin, it has a heavy
hand for rogues, and is swift to expose and oppose public abuses or wrongs, no
matter how powerful the influences or combinations by which they are
attempted. To this steady support of the best interests of poor and rich
alike is to be attributed much of the CALL'S success.

' THE BEE," OMAHA, NEB.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The BEE, a Republican journal published at Omaha City, Nebraska, is one of
a few newspapers in the West that has attained prominence in American
journalism.

It was first launched into existence by its present proprietor, Mr. Edward
Rosewater, in June, 1S71. Though bitterly opposed at the outset by the then
established Omaha journals, both Republican and Democratic, through fear of
competition and jealousy, its fearless and honest course, coupled with the varied
and spicy character of its news matter, gained for it the approbation of the
general public, and made it a popular journal among the masses. Its circulation
has from its incipiency had a steady growth, both at home and abroad. Recog
nizing the want of a Western journal in the Western country, and the facilities
which Omaha as a railway center affords for news gathering, its founder and
present publisher has made it his aim to study Western interests and develop
the agricultural and mineral resources of the West by bringing them forcibly
before the public. In this endeavor every effort to gather and place before the
public in an interesting form items of passing events and facts bearing upon the
undeveloped resources of the West has been made. The price of the DAILY BEE
has been fixed at $8 per annum, and the WEEKLY at $2, rates which from their
reasonable nature have made the BEE of easy access to all.

The BEE is the first newspaper in the Trans-Missouri country that has issued
regularly a series of illustrated editions setting forth in a very striking form the
events and improvements of each year. It is the only journal in the West that
maintains a regular corps of travelling and local correspondents.

ITS CIRCULATION, owing to this wide scope of its news, has become general,
extending through nearly every town for eleven hundred miles west of Omaha.
The DAILY BEE is now a 36-column journal, and is the only daily west of the
Mississippi that issues two editions daily, one in the evening and one in the
morning. The morning issue is expressly prepared for its Western readers, to
supply them with news almost up to the hour of the departure of the mails.
Although over one thousand miles away, the DAILY BEE has a very extensive
circulation in Salt Lake City and other Utah towns. In Wyoming, a territory
only developed in the past few years, the DAILY BEE circulates over 400 copies.
In Omaha City its daily circulation is nearly 2,000. It is delivered to the city
subscribers by eleven carrier boys, six of whom are mounted on horseback.

THE WEEKLY BEE.

In the past two years the demand for the WEEKLV I.KE has become so great
that it has been deemed advisable to enlarge it to an eight-page, 5G-column
journal. This enables the publisher to furnish its readers with a lai'gc portion
of the varied and interesting correspondence which appears in the daily during
the week. Its circulation extends through Western Iowa, Nebraska, Dakota,
Wyoming, Utah, and the other Territories, and is rapidly increasing.

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT.

This is presided over by Mr. Edward Rosewater, who is also the publisher.
His literary acquirements and terseness have made him well known through
out the West. Mr. Rosewater speaks four languages with fluency. On the
occasion of Rochefort's tour through the United States, after his romantic
escape from imprisonment, Mr. Rosewater secured the first successful interview
with that individual, and received creditable notices for this effort by the
Chicago and New York metropolitan journals. The local news department is

THE GKEAT NEWSPAPERS 241

managed by the city editor, Mr. Alfred Sorensen, a former student of Harvard
College, who is a practical printer as well as a stenographic reporter.

The BEE also keeps three regular travelling correspondents, who visit every
section of Nebraska and the Territories each year. Aside from these, special
local correspondents are maintained by the BEE at San Francisco, Salt Lake
City, Custer City, Lincoln, Neb., and also a special correspondent at Philadel
phia during the Centennial.

THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT.

This is in charge of Andrew Rosewater, manager, and consists of an
accountant, mailing clerk, superintendent of city circulation, and messenger.
The number of employes in the entire establishment are forty-two. There has
been an average of three tons per month of news paper consumed in the past
year. Thirty-five newsboys sell the paper daily upon the streets.

The enterprise of the BEE has been acknowledged by the Western press
generally. It lately issued a fiuely-illuslrated supplement, showing the city of
Cheyenne in detail. It now has in hand a supplement of the scenery of the
Black Hills and mining districts, which will be is med in the early part of May.

THE NASHVILLE (TENN.) AMERICAN,

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

This paper and its predecessors in regular line have existed for more than
fifty years in this city. There were the National Banner and the Nashville Re
publican. These were united under the name of Republican Banner, which itself had
an existence of more than half a century. Then there was the Union, established
in 1835, under the auspices of Jackson in his contest against nullification. After
wards, in 1849, the Centre State American was established as a Democratic paper,
which, in 1850, was merged into the Union under the name of Union and American.
These two papers, the Republican Ranner and the Union and American, were the
representatives of the party sentiment of Tennessee during all the exciting
periods of its political history— the former being Whig and the latter Democrat.
The great names of Jackson, White, Bell, Polk, Johnson and others who have
impressed their names on the country's history, have fought their glorious
battles of principle through these columns. On the 1st of September, 1875, the
Union and American and the Republican Banner were consolidated under the
name of THE AMERICAN, and its proprietors trust that in this name it will be
printed for all time to come The last fusion and change of name was no more
a matter of business than a matter of patriotism. The general unanimity in
the sentim MI'S <>t' tlm people of the State suggested the change on political and
patriotic < >- sMerations, and the business view conceded it. It now wields the
leading inil'it net- in the State.

THE AMERICAN

Has now a positive circulation much greater than that claimed by any news
paper published in the States of the South, except Kentucky, Missouri and
Louisiana. Its united editions exceed several which claim the greater number.
It has a firm hold on the confidence of the people, because it has never deceived
them; and we are gratifiejl to say that in spite of the " hard times" its subscrip
tion lists are greater than those of both its immediate predecessors, and greater
than, any paper ever had in Tennessee. Address THE AMERICAN, Nashville.

"THE SHOE AND LEATHER REPORTER."

A SKETCH FOR THE HOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The SHOE AND LEATHER REPORTER is the oldest industrial newspaper pub-
lished in this country— the pioneer of its class— leading the van of the great
army of " Trade papers" which register the progress of nearly every branch of
business conducted in the United States at the present time.

The REPORTER was founded in August, 1857, and made its first appearance as
a semi-monthly. Its circulation and business increased, and it was issued
weekly at the end of the first six months. It has since been enlarged, until it
is now almost ten times the size ot the original sheet.

To the casual observer there might seem to be little of importance to
chronicle in the lines of shoes and leather, unless it might be records of prices
or dry statistical figures; such, however, is not the case. There is no product in
which the chemical change is more intricate and interesting than in that of the
manufacture of leather from hides and skins ; no industry is pursued where
the aid of a greater or more varied amount of machinery is required than in
the production of boots and shoes, and, with the single exception of agriculture,
no branch of business in this country employs so large a capital or requires
a greater exercise of skill. So much for the mechanical part. As a mercantile
interest it stretches to every quarter of the globe. The work of collecting and
disseminating information in every branch of these great industries, and of
defining the relations they bear to each other, is immense, and the publisher
employs the best capacity obtainable for a thorough and careful compilation
of the market reports, as well as the most intelligent criticism of the various
inventions and theories introduced to the trades.

The circulation extends throughout all the States of the Union, and
it has a considerable list of subscribers in Europe, and in the East
and West Indies, South America, and in fact every country where hides
and skins are a product, or shoes and leather a necessity. It is under
the editorial charge of a gentleman who has pursued from boyhood the
business of making and dealing in leather, and has an extensive acquaint
ance with men engaged in all the various branches of the trade at home and
abroad. Experience and knowledge combine to qualify him to represent the
views and express the sentiments of his co-laborers in the great industry to
which the paper is exclusively devoted. He is supported by able assistants in
the three cities; by capable correspondent sin the West, the South and the chief
foreign marts. Mr. Jackson S. Schultz, who is thoroughly well versed in the prac
tice and theory of the tanning trade, is a regular contributor to its columns.
He is at present engaged upon a serial work, defining and illustrating all the
details and mechanical processes of the art of tanning, the initial;chapter of which
was published in the first issue of the current year.

A supplementary pattern sheet is published quarterly, containing the latest
styles of boots and shoes, giving exact directions for reproducing the various
styles. It is artistic in execution, and is a prominent feature of the paper,
being looked for and preserved.

The compilation of the statistics of the trade necessitates an amount of
care and labor which can only be appreciated by those who have occasion to
refer to the semi-annual tables; they are accepted by the trade as a valuable
aid in their transactions.

The SHOE AND LEATHER REPORTER is published simultaneously in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia by Isaac H. Bailey. The subscription price is
$3.50 a year. The New York office is at 17 Spruce street, the Boston office at
114 High street, and the Philadelphia office at 149 South Fourth street.

THE "ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG."

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

Of those German newspapers published in the United States, which have for
a number of years exerted a positive and decisive influence upon public opin.
ion, there is, in the great Northwest, none that could claim to excel or even to
equal the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG of Chicago. The ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG,
established at a time when the great metropolis of the Lake region was a town
of barely 20,000 inhabitants, has grown, both in its value as a newspaper and in
the influence wielded by it upon many thousands of readers, in proportion with
the wonderful development of its place of publication. It is, and has been for
almost half a generation, a recognized political power, perhaps so to a greater
extent than any other German daily paper in the country. In this respect not
only does the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG fully rank with its Chicago contempo

raries published
in the English
language, but it
has on several
occasions suc
cessfully defied
and actually de
feated in some

also in the completeness, variety, and freshness of its news; in its careful selec
tion of the gist of foreign newspapers; and in the excellence of its corres
pondence. The remark has frequently been made by German- Americans, tem
porarily residing in their native country, that they found a greater amount
of interesting and important news from Germany in the columns of the
ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG than in the great papers easily accessible to them in
Germany itself. The comments of the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG upon the public
affairs of Germany have often, on account of their thoroughly American
independence of thought and directness of* expression, been quoted, and been
either highly commended or angrily discussed by leading newspapers of Ger
many. As an evidence of the position generallj7 accorded to the ILLINOIS
STAATS ZEITUNG abroad, the fact may be mentioned here, that, beside Mr.
Smalley of the N. Y. Tribune, the chief editor of the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG is
the only American editor to whom the Chancellor of the German Empire, Prince
Bismarck, has accorded an extended interview, the record of which was. at the

244 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

tim<', translated ancl copied from the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG into many hun
dreds of newspapers in this country, in England, Germany, and even in France.

In the quality of its reading matter the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG is the sec
ond German-American newspaper, ranking immediately next to its New York
namesake. Its circulation is the largest of all German dailies, excepting only the
New York Staats Zeitung and, perhaps, one daily published in the West. Its
•weekly issue is widely circulated all over the Northwestern States, and iiiiis
efficiency as an advertising medium is superior to almost any other weekly
publication in the Northwest.

When, in October, 1871, the city of Chicago seemed to be wiped out from the
face of the earth by the great fire, the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG was a greater
sufferer than any other paper published in Chicago, for this reason : that not
only its entire establishment (including files and safes with books) was utterly
destroyed, but all its editors, reporters, clerks, compositors,, pressmen, with the
exception of barely half a dozen were ''burned out'1 of their homes and per
sonal property. It took two or three days to gather up a mere handful of the
employees of the paper and to provide a temporary abode. Then there arose
the further difficulty that, while English type could be had in abundance within
call, it took weeks to procure the required quantity of German type. In fact, the
struggle against the effects of that terrible calamity to many would have
appeared utterly hopeless. And yet, after having been printed in Milwaukee
for a few weeks, twenty days after the great fire the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG
was issued again in its old size from its own press, and fifty days after the fire
it enlarged its size and the amount of reading matter by. one-sixth over what it
had been before the fire. The hackneyed metaphor ot the Phoenix rising from
its ashes would not seem out of place in this connection.

In rebuilding Chicago the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG would not be found be
hindhand . A .site for a permanent home was selected within one square from the
heart of the business center of the city, the Board of Trade building, the new
Court House, the W.U. Telegraph, and Military Headquarters building. Fronting
Washington street (40 feet) and extending 110 feet on Fifth avenue, the ILLINOIS
STAATS ZEITUNG block covers an area of 4,400 square feet. Its height from the
floor of the basement to the roof is 100 feet, making it the tallest building but one
within five squares in each direction. The architecture is of that chaste and
massive style of modern renaissance to which the new portions of the great
cities of Europe owe their proudly dignified, monumental aspect. The orna
mentation is in excellent taste and superior to that of any other public or
private building in Chicago. For, while the statues of Franklin and Gutenberg,
raised over the porticoes of the two main entrances, happily denote the char
acter and purposes of the building, the. top of the house is beautifully and
appropriately ornamented by five life-size statues, representing Science, Indus
try, Agriculture, Commerce, and Justice. These were cast in Paris, while a very
characteristic and expressive center piece, representing the reclining figures of
Columbia and Germania, is the conception of a French artist who has made
Chicago his home.

The ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG enjoys a prosperity which it may justly be
proud of, since it may see in it a hearty recognition by the people of its unceasing
efforts, not only to satisfy, but to anticipate the wants of its readers. Its circu
lation since the great fire has so increased, that in order to issue its large edi
tion in proper time for early distribution, it has to stereotype its forms and
print them from a Bullock press capable of turning off 14,000 copies in an hour.

Standing upon the firm foundation of established success, shaken as little by
the financial crisis of 1873 as by the great fire of 1871, the ILLINOIS STAATS ZEITUNG
may, without fear of being charged with self-conceit, lay just claim to the des
ignation as one of the representative newspapers of this country.

A SKETCH FOK THE HOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

It has been pronounced that " The progress of a country is best indicated by
the growth of its newspapers;" and the present position of the WESTLICHE POST
—foremost in rank among the daily journals of the Western States of America-
clear] y proves this assertion.

The career of this paper during the comparatively few years of its history,
marks the success which hardly ever fails when industry, perseverance and
able and faithful management are united in conducting a newspaper in this coun
try. The WESTLICHE POST has fairly kept even step with the development of the

day having nine. columns, and those oi the weekly ten. The Sunday edition is ac
companied by an eight-page supplement, the MISSISSIPPI BLAETTER. The WEST
LICHE POST circulates in every State and Territory of the great West and South,
from Ohio te the Pacific shore, and from the far Northwest to the Gulf. It has a
larger circulation than any other German daily paper published west of New
York, and as an advertising medium is surpassed by none.

It is incorporated according to the laws of the State of Missouri. Arthur
Olshausen, Esq., is the president, Messrs. E. Preetorius and Carl Schurz are the
editors, and Gustavus A. Olshausen, Esq., is the treasurer and secretary. It is
not strange that with the co-operation in its management of gentlemen possess
ing the exceptional ability of Mr. Carl Schurz, it should have acquired its great
moral influence, as well as its commercial value, in respect to the German pop
ulation of the West. Its always-crowded advertising columns show peculiarly
that its excellence is acknowledged and realized by the public in general, and
not only by a fragmentary class or nationality. Its serried advertisements re-

mind a person of every branch of commerce, finance, and trade, of things
domestic and foreign, and in short, of every department of human life. The
names of its local advertisers do not merely consist of those betokening a Ger
manic origin, but savor of nativities quite distant from the Rhine. This would
of itself be very favorable evidence. Men of moderate or ordinary trade or
business are not apt to resort to publications in foreign laixguages for the adver
tising of that which they have, unless they are imbued with a decided belief in
the standing and merits as an advertising medium, if not as a general newspa
per, of a publication of this character selected by them. No one can deny that
tlm WESTLICHE POST possesses this standing and these merits to an unusual de
gree, both as a general newspaper and as an advertising medium. It has no
superior in the West, and perhaps not elswhere, in regard to celerity and enter
prise in laying before its readers that which is "news" in the strictest sense.
Everything not out of place in a daily newspaper appears in its diurnal editions,
while its Sunday issues are models of well-chosen literature. The weekly is a
judicious and succinct history of the occurences of each week. The circulation
which the WBSTLICHE POST enjoys represents a far greater influence than an
equal circulation of an English paper. In the large and ordinarily prosperous
American cities, it is not at all unusual for an individual to daily pass through
the labor or diversion— in which ever way he may regard it— of perusing two or
three, and sometimes even four or five, of the newspapers that circulate in his
locality. He reads them all with equal attention or inattention, as his humor
may lead him, and seldom allows either one of them to have the special honor
of arousing his most profound reflections. A. great number of the American
people, indeed, appear to regard their newspapers as something which it is their
duty to criticise and to pick fault with if they can. They are capable of finding
considerable amusement in seeking to invent transitory theories which shall be
utterly at variance with those advocated by the newspaper they may happen to
read, and are seldom so complacent as when some opinion which they have
expressed proves to be more correct than that of the newspaper. Among the
Germans, however, the case is different. They look up to respectable newspa
pers as a species of paternal guides and instructors, and the feeling with which
they regard the most worthy of German publications can hardly be appreciated
by a critical, fault-finding, captious American mind. Though a German may
not be reluctant to express his disapprobation of the course of a particular
paper, he never does it with the same invectives and fierceness so frequent in
America. The influence of German newspapers, indeed, is comparatively ex
treme; and the influence of the WESTLICHE POST, with its great circulation,
may be conceived. That it worthily possesses and wields this influence is very
plain. It is a paper in which the German populace of the Western States are
not and need not be ashamed to trust, and is the best existing fulfilment of
tneir ideal of a newspaper. In every respect, the WESTLICHE POST of St. Louia
may be pointed out as a proper representative of the Germans in our country
—an element which bravely sustains the claim of industry and practical pro
gress, and has given Americans the least reason to regret that America is cos
mopolitan.

THE MIRROR, MANCHESTER, N. H.

A SKETCH FOIi THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The Manchester DAILY MIRROR was founded in 1850, and the WEEKLY MIRROR
in 1851, by Joseph C. Emerson. In October, 1852, both papers were purchased by
John B. Clark, who has owned, edited, and published therfi ever since. As the
MIRROR grew in strength and influence, its owner purchased and his establish-
7iient absorbed the Daily American, the Weekly American, and the New Hampshire
Journal of Agriculture, all of which are now comprised and published under the
MIRROR headings. The MIRROR AND AMERICAN and the WEEKLY MIRROR AND
FARMER are the most successful journals in New Hampshire. From the start
money has been spent upon them with a free hand in every department, which,
with liberal dealings with friends and patrons, has put them far in advance of
all rivals, and given them a circulation, influence, and advertising patronage
which no other even claims.

Manchester, New Hampshire, is the filty-flfth city in. population in the
United States, according to the last census — larger than any two other cities in
New Hampshire. It is fifty-two miles from Boston, and is devoted to manu
facturing. Its corporations employ nine thousand persons, and have a monthly
pay-roll of THREE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. They use every
year twenty-six thousand and one hundred tons of coal, eight thousand cords of
wood, and about thirty million feet of gas. The mills have about three hundred
thousand spindles, and make one hundred and forty -three miles of cloth a day. The
Manchester Locomotive Works can turn out fourteen locomotives a month, and
the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company fifty steam fire-engines a year.

To make a paper worthy of such a city, and one which should find its way
into nearly every family, and be authorized to speak for and to the substantial
and intelligant citizens has been the aim of the publisher of the MIRROR, and
that he has succeeded the subscription books and daily sales of the paper fully
prove. The DAILY MIRROR AND AMERICAN is an evening paper, issuing three
editions each afternoon, and has a larger circulation than any other two dailies
in the State.

The WEEKLY MIRROR AND FARMER is an eight-page sheet, of forty-eight
columns, and is a general news and agricultural paper. Its first and second
pages are devoted to farming interests, and are filled with live and readable
matter, which gives it a welcome, and makes it authority in a large proportion
of the farm-houses of New Hampshire and Vermont.

The other six pages are devoted to news, editorials, selections, and adver
tisements, so written and arranged as to give timely and bold expression to the
convictions and opinions of honest people, and to present a complete and re
liable record of the world's work, wisdom, worry, and wickedness during each
week.

The paper owns no man as master, and is the slave of no sect or party. It
speaks for its readers openly, freely, and without fear or favor. Its system of
news gathering is nearly complete, and in the department of State news par
ticularly, its numerous correspondents and reporters, and a tree use of the
telegraph enable it to keep far in advance of its rivals. These features have
introduced the MIRROR, and make it a household word among all who are
interested in New Hampshire news and have a liking for an independent and
outspoken organ of public opinion.

It reaches, in large clubs, nearly every town in the State, and many in
Vermont and Maine, and has not only an aggregate circulation larger than any

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS.

other paper in the State, but larger than any other one of its class published in
New England, out of Boston. Its circulation is a natural and healthy one. It
employs no agents to crowd it into places where it is not welcome, and is not
sent to any man who has not paid for it. Its friends are such of their own
volition, because it meets their wa ts and approves itself to their judgment;
and they are friends who, when once they come, are sure to stay. The MIRROR
is by far the best advertising medium to be found in New Hampshire. Its rates
are less than three-fourths ot a cent a line for each thousand circulation.

in its press. TLe good story sent out to the world by the Iowa press of the fair
fortune there awaiting honest industry, drew to the fertile prairies an emigra
tion of reading, cultured, enterprising people, wrho naturally became, in turn,
the stimulating patrons of the press. In keeping pace with the bounding ener
gies and wonderfully rapid development of the State, the press was fairly forced
into early prominence, influence, and wealth. At the head of the vigorous
papers of the vigorous young State has'stood for ten years the STATE REGISTER.
published «it Des Moiiies, the capital — which stirring young city, an Indian
camping ground in 18i8, is now a place of 20,000 people, with all the modern
appointments of civilization, gas, water works, many and large manufactories,
and five railways. Located at the geographical, political, and business centre
of the State, the REGISTER enjoys the benefit of commanding position and supe
rior advantages— and, with double the circulation of any of its Iowa contempor
aries, circulates largely in every county in the State, and goes abroad in the
Union and to other countries as the representative Iowa paper. It has no 'com
petitor in Iowa as a newspaper or as an advertising medium. The daily edition is
a large thirty-six column, four-page sheet, the largest paper and giving the
largest amount of news and reading matter of any paper in the world, pub
lished in a city of 20,000 inhabitants. The weekly edition is a mammoth forty-
column sheet of four pages; it sustains, in addition to its other features, an
agricultural department, edited by C. F. Clarkson, a practical farmer, and an
old-time editor— who makes his department an authority with Iowa farmers,
and a necessity to them, thus giving it an immense circulation among that
especial class .

The REGISTER is known in newspaper circles to be the most valuable press
property in the Northwest, outside of Chicago. It occupies a home — and as its
own home— a fine brick building 22x100 feet in size, with three stories besides
basement, all of which the establishment occupies. There is maintained with
the paper the largest book and job printing offices in the State, which for years
have done and are now doing the State printing. The REGISTER, its machinery,
and building are estimated at a total value of $150,000, and that money would not
buy them, cash down. The paper is now printed on a double cylinder Hoe
press, made expressly for it, but which will soon have to be superseded by one
of double its capacity. The first aim of the STATE REGISTER is to be a paper of
news, next of politics, third of business then of literature— always ol life
and vivacity. It is conducted on the live idea of never being found dull. Its
proprietors — both young men, just turned into the thirties — are enthusiasts in
their profession, and enamored of their paper. They were both raised in a
printing office, and their lives and ambition are in their work. This inspiration
is the working motto of their subordinates, and every editor and every reporter,
has as much pride in the paper and its success as the proprietors nave. The
paper has but two owners, R. P. Clarkson, the business manager, and J. S.
Clarkson, the chief editor. The money they have invested in this now valuable

250

property is of their own gaining, earned by hard work and sheer business tact.
The young proprietors of an old, fairly-established, popular, and profitable
paper, they will keep the property permanently and improve it daily.

The pride of the paper is in its State and city. To the upbuilding, advance
ment, and progress of both it lends every effort and every energy. In politics
the paper is radical republican. But it has been guilty frequently of bolting bad
nominations which its party has made. In all things the REGISTER, as a constant
and long-time reader of it would judge, proposes to have the independence and
vigor of the prairie — to be always worth the money paid for it by anybody — to
hold unrivalled excellence in its own State as a paper of news — to be the best
possible advertising medium within the territory of its circulation— and,
generally, to be the best and best paying paper of its size and field in the
country.

THE NEW YORK EVANGELIST.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The NEW YORK EVANGELIST is in the forty-seventh year ot its publication.
Its career has been a prominent one. It sprang at once into conspicuity as the
champion of the rising cause of the slave and of temperance reform, and
especially as the advocate of revivals and of a greater tolerance of new methods
of aggression on the part of the Churches.

Its early years were marked by great movements of population, as well as
by the earnest discussion of social and religious questions. The Erie Canal was
then a new and gigantic improvement— the wonder and pride of the whole
North. It was the chief channel of our Western trade. It brought wheat and
corn and furs to tide-water, and returned their equivalent. It also served as an
highway and outlet for the enterprising young families of New England. They
crowded its jaunty packets and settled along its borders; while many of the
older residents of the region, feeling the general impulse of our westward-
moving empire, covered their stout wagons with canvass and took up the long
march to Ohio or remoter Michigan. (It was in the growing villages and cities
of this ncAv theatre of commercial activity that the late President Finney won
his greatest successes and most enduring fruits as a preacher of the Gospel. It
is also worthy of mention here that Lis celebrated Lectures on Revivals were
reported for and published exclusively in this paper.)

Sprung of fathers who had borne the burden and heat of the day in revo
lutionary times, and in the later war with the mother country, these thrifty
sons of freedom had, for the most part, the consciousness of a responsibility
for the moral and intellectual culture of their growing communities beyond
their own well-ordered families; and matei-ial and moral progress followed in
their track as they came from New England, Eastern New York, New Jersey,
and Pennsylvania. Churches and schools sprang up where lately only the dense
and silent forests stood.

Religiously of several denominations, the Presbyterian and Congregational
elements predominated, and these, under the then "Plan of the Union," made
common cause, and the NEW YORK EVANGELIST, under the able conduct ot
the late Dr. Joshua Lavitt, became their great mouthpiece.

Recognized and sustained by such a people— the first and best of their com
munities—at a time when men's minds were beginning to be deeply stirred in
view of the wrongs of slavery, and by other questions already hinted, and
standing firmly to these councils of charity and humanity, and of progress as
well, in later years, when the '• war of words" gave place to the more terrible
" arbitrament of the sword;'' and withal never abating one iot of heart and
hope in all the long struggle which followed— the NEW YOI:K EVANGELIST is
enabled to look back from the vantage ground of this Centennial Year with
devout thanks to God, and sincere congratulations to its many readers. It has
no reason to be ashamed of its record.

Since the war and the auspicious reunion of the two Assemblies of the
Presbyterian Church— which reunion this paper promoted with all its power—
the great Evangelical Churches, as well as the Nation, seem to be entering upon a
new era — one that betokens their enlargement and a corresponding increase of
moral influence. And surely the remaining problems to be solved ere the
prayer of our risen Lord shall be brought to pass, are such as can be best, yea,
only successfully dealt with by the more general reception ot the Gospel itself.
It is the only real solvent and unifyer of the nations that are now for the
first time, by reason of swift-fly ing ships and trains, face to face with each other.
The EVANGELIST, in common with an increasing number in all the Churches,
looks to see the great wealth and material resources which have originated

252 THE GEE AT NEWSPAPERS

quite within the span of its own life, not selfishly hoai-d d, but more and more
freely given to the furtherance of the Gospel and kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Identified with a particular corps of our Lord's militant host, the
EVANGELIST is quite content with these relations. It loves the order and strength
of the Presbyterian Church, and seeks the things that make for her peace and
progress. Mindful of its name and origin, it will continue to labor for and
welcomethe return of such ingatherings as marked the time of Edwards, White-
field, and Finney — such as shall purifiy the social, commercial, and political
relations ot the whole nation. It is taken chiefly by ministers and the more intelli
gent and reliable Church members. It has lost many old subscribers by reason ot
death, but the children's names have taken the place of the fathers. They have
carried it from their early Eastern homes to the Rocky Mountains, and beyond.
It seeks to extend its circulation everywhere throughout the Presbyterian
Church. No longer shut out of the South, it asks for new friends there as well as
at the North and West.

Any complete catalogue of the names of those who have from time to time
become recognized as contributors to this paper would require several pages ot
this publication. They are, or were, our best known ministers and laymen. It
is hardly necessary to add that the best and ablest pens will continue to be em
ployed in its columns, and all the features of a first-class religious and family
paper will be maintained. It comments upon a wide range of topics, from its
proper point of view, and will include, as heretofore, a large variety of miscel
laneous and literary reading, and its special departments for the children, the
Sunday school, and readers interested in rural and scientific information. Its
subscription price is three dollars a year.

An especially attractive feature ot the EVANGELIST for coming months (as
for a full year past) will be the letters of its editor-in-chief, Rev. Henry M.
Field, on his way around the workV. It is seldom that a series of letters have
been so generally quoted by the press of the country, and so constantly refer
red to as a source of instruction and delight, both in the editorial and business
coi-respondence of the paper. We may add that it is probable, in response to
the Avishes thus expressed, that their author will issue them in a more perma
nent form on his return home.

When last heard from, Dr. Field was just quitting India. And we cannot
better close this brief and inadequate sketch of the journal which he has man
aged now for more than twenty years (with the assistance of his partners, the
Rev. Wm. Bradford a short and Dr. J. G. Craighead a longer time), than by quot
ing the closing paragraph of the last letter to hand from that remote quarter.
Dr. Field writes :

"And here I take leave of the readers of the EVANGELIST for several
weeks, as we are just 'launching off' from this part of Asia into what
seems almost like boundless space. On Monday morning, the 13th of March,
we leave India for Burmah. Crossing the Bay of Bengal we shall proceed first
to Rangoon, and then down the coast to Maulmain, Malacca, Penange, and Sin
gapore, stopping a day or two at each point, and thus taking in the whole voy
age seventeen days — twice as long as it; took us to cross the Atlantic. From
Singapore we may go up the Gulf of Siam to Bangkok, or proceed direct to
Hong Kong. At .Singapore we are almost exactly on the opposite side ot' the
globe from the longitude of New York. In clue time we hope to emerge from
this wilderness of islands and oceans, and come around on ' the right side' of
the planet, which is, of course, the American side. Our letters will hereafter go
East across the Pacific, instead of West across India, and Egypt, and Europe,
and the Atlantic.

"THE WATCHMAN," BOSTON, MASS.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CKNTEXNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The WATCHMAN is, with a single exception, the oldest religious weekly news
paper in the United States. In character and in reputation, in quality as in age,
it is the first journal of its denomination. It was founded in 1819, and is, there
fore, now in its fifty-seventh year.

The Christian Watchman, the original paper, was the only Baptist journal
m New England until 1840. In that year the Christian Reflector was established.

The two papers were united
, in 1848, under the double name
of Watchman and Reflector.
The new journal grew in pop
ularity, under the editorship
of Rev. John W. Olmstead,
D D.. and the efficient business
management of Mr. D. S.
Ford, now of the Youth's Com
panion, until in. 1867 its circu.
lation was more than 20,000
copies. In that year a new
departure was taken. The
paper was doubled in size and
became the first to assume
the eight-page form now so
common with the religious
weeklies. The Christian Era,
another Baptist paper, which
was moved from Lowell to
Boston in 1S56, being more
radical than its older brother,
divided with him the patron
age of New England until
•• THE WATCHMAN" BUILDING. tne close of 1875, when both

papers were purchased by a corporation of laymen andunited under the present
new, yet good old name— the WATCHMAN The combined lists of the two papers
gives the new journal a circulation larger, with one exception, than that of any
other Baptist organ in the world. The WATCHMAN, though its special field is New
England, goes largely into every State and Territory of the Union. It has
readers in every civilized country on the globe.

Our space will not allow us even to mention the men, good and true, who
either by their editorial or business services have contributed to the stability
and prosperity of the paper. At present its editorial staff consists of Rev.
John W. Olmstead, D. D., who has been connected with the paper for thirty
years; Rev. Franklin Johnson, D. D.; of Cambridge; Rev. George C. Lorimer,
D. D., pastor of Fremont Temple, Boston; Prof. Heman Lincoln, D. D., of New-
ton Theological Institution; Rev. W. N. Clarke; Mr. J. B. Houser; and Mr.
Thomas L. Rogers. Rev. Granville S.Abbott has char^t of the Sunday School
Department, and the Family Department is under the supervision of the well-
known authoress, Mrs. Jane Dunbar Chaplin. Mr. T. L. Rogers is the business
manager, and the office of the WATCHMAN is at the " Headquarters of New Eng
land Baptists," Tremont Temple, a cut, of which building accompanies this

THE KANSAS CITY TIMES.

THE REPRESENTATIVE JOURNAL OF THE "NEW WEST."

A SKLTCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL XEAVSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The New YorJc " Herald of the West."— The Kansas City TIMES' fast newspaper train,
carrying early copies of that paper between Kansas City and TopeJM during the ses
sion of the Legislature, January, 1876.

It has required decades and the lives of many men to establish the reputation
now enjoyed by the metropolitan papers of this country. Until within a very few
years no journal west of the city of St. Louis, Mo., has come in for a position in the
catalogue of newspapers now occupying prominent places. And so many are the
obstacles in the way of accomplishing this that there is but one instance where it
has been done. This exception is the Kansas City TJMES. Other newspapers in its
section are older, but beyond their naturally legitimate section they ai'e unknown
and have achieved nothing beyond local influence and reputation. That the Kan
sas City TIMES has leaped beyond the ordinary groove and become something
greatei\may seem marvelous to the average reader of remote sections, but the fact
can be attested by leading journals of the country, by the official figures given of
its circulation by what is recognized authority in journalistic circles, and by
the immense advertising patronage from abroad which has sought its columns.

THE SPIRIT OF ITS PRESENT MANAGEMENT.

In 1871 the TIMES was purchased by the pi-esent management and organized as
a corporation into what is now known as the Kansas City Times Company, with
M. Munford as business manager. Prior to that the paper had been nothing be
yond what its contemporaries were. The new management saw the field which
was presented. In the whole domain of a country that is fertile and populous
—a country that has excited the curiosity and admiration of the most distin
guished tourists— which occupies the scope that stretches from the western bank
of the Mississippi up into the range of the Rocky mountains— there was not a
single paper which had a metropolitan feature. By nature Kansas City seemed
to be the gateway of the western continent, and from the summit 01 one of its
hills the statesman Beriton had prophesied that here one day the commerce of the
East would meet the trade of the wide West and that of India. What was then
considered a poetic fancy has been almost literal^ verified. Here the railways
of the East and West have centered. From here they have branched out in every
direction, and all along the innumberable lines are towns, villages and cities
that are daily opening up the fertile lands adjacent, which are being occupied
by a class equal in intelligence and refinement to the older sections of the Union.
Kansas City being the chief entre-port of the immense trade coming from all of
these, the capitalist has established himself here, and immense elevators have
become necessary for the accommodation, of the almost fabulous cereals of a

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS. 255

country the most productive and progressive under the sun. Texas and the
Indian Territory being the chief grazing grounds of the land, and being in direct
communication by rail with Kansas City, here are established the largest beef
and pork packing establishments in the United States, from which are yearly
exported direct to Liverpool immense quantities of bulk meats. These facts,
in addition to the mercantile houses which have to supply to a great extent the
wants of the towns and minor cities on the various railroads leading here, made
the point one of the most favorable in the West for the establishment ot a first-
class daily paper that would be metropolitan in all its appointments. From
1871 to the present time such a strict and rigid adherence to this idea has been
kept up that the intended results has already been achieved, until the TIMES is
invariably alluded to by its many contemporaries as the " New York Herald of
the West." Upon assuming control of the paper the new management put in
steam-power presses to supply on time the increase which commenced at once
to its subscription lists. The TIMES became recognized at this point as the lead
ing morning paper of the city. Its make up, its resume of daily news from
neighboring vicinities, its special telegrams, which were first introduced by it
in the West, made it the very foremost in the ranks of Western journalism.
When this was established the ultimate result was attempted, and the success
was not only attained but so suddenly did the paper leap to that station that its
political opponents of their own accord pronounced it a marvel of enterprise ,
carrying with it a dash which caused it to make inroads upon the circulations
of its St. Louis contemporaries.

ITS POLITICAL INFLUENCE AND STANDING.

At the State capital it became the recognized organ of its— the Democratic
—party of the State, and its opinions and views were quoted by the law-makers
of the commonwealth. As wonderful as this appeared to the larger and older
papers of Western cities, it was eclipsed by the TIMES crossing the border and
entering the State of Kansas, where it at once surpassed in circulation and in
fluence eveiy daily paper there, and to-day it is delivered in the leading cities
of that State, by carriers, almost as early as the morning papers of those cities. Its
general circulation in that State exceeds the combined circulation of all the
dailies of Kansas. This is a step in advance of any newspaper west of the
Alleghany mountains. It stands out as especially creditable to the TIMES, in
consideration of the fact that while the paper is fearlessly and ably Democratic
the State of Kansas is overwhelmingly Republican in sentiment. To gain a
foothold under such circumstances as these is a triumph which the oldest and
ablest paper of the seaboard might well wish to achieve and wear with pride.
In accomplishing this the TIMES has won the confidence of the people of Kansas,
because its policy has never been adverse to the interests of that State, because
it contains the latest and freshest news, and because it has stood by the reform
movement there in all of its endeavors to root out a nest of political corruption-
ists that took possession of its State affairs only to plunder. Every expose of
fraud and corruption that has been made is credited to the vigilance and ability
of the TIMES.

THE TIMES' ANNUAL REVIEW.

Another feature which was introduced by the TIMES, and has been steadily
kept up, is its mammoth yearly review of the commerce, trade, and growth of
its city and the circle of country tributary to it. So popular has this feature
become, that on the first of the present year its review was the largest ever
issued — surpassing those of St. Louis — covering twenty pages of closely-printed
matter, accompanied by fifty-two distinctive cuts of public buildings, a mam
moth view of the Great Union Stock Yards, all printed 011 the finest paper. The
circulation of this review was over and above that of anything similar ever
issued from a Western press. So complete was it, and so gigantic an undertak
ing that the columns of the papers of the West, South, and even many of the
metropolitan papers teemed with encomiums, which have been collected and
are now issued in a neat volume.

256 OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE TIMES' FAST NEWSPAPER TRAIX.

When all of these features had been perfected, and the TIMES nart achieved
that which its management had foreshadowed upon their accession to it, the
public seemed to be content, and as the TIME*? had become a visitor in every
hamlet and metropolitan in all of its workings, there appeared to be nothing
beyoii'i except a maintainance of w!i at its energy had wrought. It was at this
juncture that the managers conceived another feature which, when it was an
nounced would have been discredited had not the public become convinced that
every advance made by the paper had been carried to the front. This was none
other than the starting of a daily fast newspaper train of its own between Kansas
City and Topeka, the capital of Kansas, the same to be continued during the legis
lative session at the latter city. This was a dash in advance ot any paper in the
United States. The New York Herald had its fast Sunday newspaper train, and
the Chicago Times had one which it run between that city and Milwaukee once a
week. But the Kansas City TIMES, a paper which had come into existence years
after the reputation of both the former had been established, conceived the
idea of running a fast newspaper train of its own, at its own expense, daily,
b.etween its city and the capital of Kansas. The illustration which is embodied
in this article will probably convey a more accurate idea of this train than lan
guage can do. The first trip was made January 11, 1876, and it continued to
run consecutively for fifty-five successive days. The time card was so arranged
that the TIMES arrived in Topeka and was delivered there — as it was at all inter
mediate points — by early breakfast and many hours in advance of the regular
mail. Returning, the train brought back the full legislative proceedings of the
day, thus giving the readers of the section where the TIMES circulated on the
following morning a full and carefully prepared account of the proceedings or
the Legislature.

This extraordinary movement on the part of the managers of the TIMES
eclipsed every former attempt at enterprise by the papers of the country, and
proved conclusively, if the fact had ever been doubted, that the TIMES was so
successfully established that it had moved farbejrond the line which bounds the
existence of ordinary journalism. If the manmoth review had caused a flutter, the
fast newspaper train had created a furore, and for weeks after the train had
commenced its runs the press of the entire West and many of the papers of the
East and South were munificent in their awards of praise to the enterprise of
the Kansas City TIMES. This was continued until the encomiums reached a bulk
equal to ten columns of leaded minion type of the paper. During the entire
session of the Legislature not a delay or accident occured, and on the day of
adjournment a free excursion, consisting of ten coaches, to the Kansas Capitol,
was given by the managers of the TIMES. To this were invited the city officials
of Kansas City, prominent citizens, and the press of Missouri and Kansas.

The expense of the newspaper train was borne by the TIMES alone, and
amounted in the aggregate to more than the value of an ordinary West'. .
newspaper.

RESULTS OF ITS ENTERPRISE.

To show how the enterprise was appreciated, and the ai'diiional into
taken in a paper of such energy elsewhere, the circulation was argument*
such an enormous extent that the press facilities were unable to supply me
demand in time for the various out-going trains. There was no delay in meeting
this emergency. The want was seen and felt, and in due time a new two-cylin
der Hoe press was purchased and placed in position, being the first and only
one used by any newspaper between St. Louis and San Francisco. This enter
prise was again heralded by the press of the country, and another laurel was
twined about the most enterprising newspaper west of Chicago.

THE LEADING JOURNAL OF THE " NEW WEST."

Thus in five years, with capital, determination, unexampled spirit and
appreciated ability, the Kansas City TIMES has become a newspaper of national
reputation, a mark — with due deference to the press of its section — not achieved
by any between St. Louis and San Francisco. Having reached this point, there
can be no retrograde. In its course there has been no failure. Every adventure

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS 257

thus far has been attended with all of the elements of increase. It stands to-day
the only recognized first, class daily in its city, with a working force on the same
plan as those of the great dailies of the larger cities. The leading Democratic
organ of its own State, though not published in the State's metropolis. The great
newspaper of the State of Kansas, and of that vast fertile region known as the
" New West," and the first in every respect beyond the Mississippi river, its
circulation extending into the Territories and penetrating the leading sections
of Texas.

This brief review of the Kansas City TIMES makes its own showing. It has
not a parallel in the annals of journalism, and establishes the reputation, and
rivets it securely, that it is the only great newspaper conducted on a metropoli
tan plan west of the metropolis of its own State.

THE PORTLAND TRANSCRIPT.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The Portland (Me.) TRANSCRIPT, a weekly literary and family journal, was
started in April, 183(5, by Charles P. Isley, who had the editorial management of
it for about ten years. In 1848 it came into the hands of Erastus E. Gould and
Edward H. Elwell, the latter assuming its editorial management. In conse
quence of ill health Mr. Gould retired from the firm in 1856, and the paper has
since been published by Mr. Elwell and Messrs. Samuel T. and Charles W.
Pickard, under the firm name of Elwell, Pickarcl & Co. Mr. Elwell has had an
unbroken editorial connection with it for nearly twenty-eight years, Mr. Samuel
T. Pickard has been connected with its management for twenty -three years, and
Mr. Charles W. Pickard for sixteen years. From the first the TRANSCRIPT has
maintained a high position as a first-class literary weekly. Among its contribu.
tors are many who have made a name in the literary world, and are now valued
contributors to the first periodicals of the day. It has reached a well-deserved
rank among family papers, as much by its high moral tone as by the excellence
of its original and carefully selected matter. In addition to its original stories,
sketches, essays, poems and reviews, it gives a condensed summary of the news
of the State and the county, as well as market reports and commercial reviews
Faithful to good principles and the best interests of the State, it is received and
appreciated by thousands of families, to whom it is a most valuable auxiliary
in the education of the rising generation ; giving tone and vigor to the essential
elements which are the bulwarks of the country. In the course of its history of
forty years it has absorbed a considerable number of other journals which ran
well for a season, and now stands upon a consolidated basis as wide as the limits
of our country. Its subscribers are found in every State in the Union, and its
subscription list has reached a point surpassing any other in the State by
thousands. It has a limited space devoted to advertisements, and its great cir
culation makes it the best possible medium for business men desiring to attract
attention. Jt has the best and most convenient newspaper office in the city,
where its publishers are always pleased to receive their friends.

THE ARGUS, ALBANY, N. Y.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

For more than sixty years the Albany ARGUS has held a prominent place
among the most eminent and leading journals of the countiy. It was founded
January 26, 1813, hy Jesse Buel, a man of culture and practical business training.
Although Albany was then, as now, the capital of New York, its population was
less than the last census gives to the smallest of the twenty-four cities of the
State. The paper, however, was from the start a recognized power in the coun
try. It gave a vigorous and cordial support to the war then raging between the
United States and Great Britain, and did all in its power to strengthen and up
hold the Administration of President Madison. Its patriotic course in this and
other respects secured for it a strong hold upon the public confidence.

Mr. Buel conducted the paper until 1820, when it passed into the hands of
Moses I. Cantine (a brother-in-law of Martin Van Buren) and Isaac Q. Leake.
Three years afterwards Mr. Cantine died, and its proprietorship experienced
another change. It was this circumstance that brought Edwin Croswell to
Albany. He had for some years conducted a weekly paper in Catskill. Greene
county, and being a former neighbor of Mr. Cantine he caine to Albany to at
tend his funeral. Before returning home he was offered the editorship of the
ARGUS. He accepted, purchased the interest held by the Cantine estate, and the
ARGUS was launched upon a career of increased prosperity. This was in the
winter of 1823. Mr. Leake soon afterwards retired, leaving Mr. Croswell the sole
owner. Like his predecessors, Messrs. Buel and Cantine, Mr. Croswell was
made State printer. The ARGUS was started as a semi-weekly, and was so pub
lished until October 18, 1825, when it made its appearance as a daily morning
paper— a stretch of enterprise at that time, but a step which was warranted by
the subsequent success it secured. From this time the ARGUS assumed a char,
acter and position not before accorded to it. Martin Van Buren, Silas Wright,
William L. Marey, and other statesmen, who afterwards wielded great power in
the country, were just forcing their way to the front rank of national politics.
The ARGUS was the organ of this new element of political power, and when it
spoke there was meaning and significance in every line and sentence. This
combination soon became known far and wide as the "Albany Regency." In
the course of a few years the men composing it reached the highest places in the
National and State governments.

In those days the three pre-eminently great Democratic newspapers of the
country were the Albany ARGUS, the Washington Globe and the Richmond
Enquirer — Croswell, Blair, and Ritchie. Whatever party programme was agreed
upon by this triumvirate, it were needless to oppose. They were strong with
their party and with the country. Years of continued success and prosperity
furnished evidence of their wisdom and ability. Daring all those years the
ARGUS made a record for itself which can be contemplated with unvarying sat
isfaction. It advocated and supported the leading measures of the Administra
tions of the government to which men now of all parties revert with pride— the
Administrations of Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, and Polk.

On the 19th of April, 1854, Mr. Croswell retired from the paper, having had the
editorial management of it for a period of thirty years. He was succeeded by
Sherman Croswell. In 1855 this gentleman was succeeded by Calvert Comstock,
and in 1856 the Atlas and ARGUS were united, and Calvert Comstock and William
Cassidy became editors and proprietors. In 1865 Mr. Comstock retired on
account of impaired health, and the ARGUS COMPANY was organized, William
Cassidy being President and editor-in-chief, and Daniel Manning and J. Wesli-y
Smith associates. In January, 18<3, Mr. Cassidy died in the midst of his editorial

labors. His career is fresh in the minds of the thousands who were accustomed
to watch for his brilliant articles. His style was peculiarly his own — eloquent,
original, and sparkling. Mr. Manning succeeded Mr. Cassidy. The present own
ers of the ARGUS are Daniel Manning, Mrs. William Cassidy, J. Wesley Smith, and
William H. Johnson.

At no time in its history has the circulation of the ARGUS been so large as
at present, or its prospects brighter for a long and prosperous career. As in its
past history, so it is now the recognized exponent of democratic principles and
democratic policy.

The ARGUS has three editions— Daily, Semi-Weekly, and Weekly. Its patrons
are to be found in every section of the country, and are rapidly increasing, thus
inviting the patronage of advertisers and business men. Its market reports are
made a specialty, and are unsurpassed for completeness and accuracy.

THE ARGUS BUILDING.

The ARGUS building is located on the corner of Broadway and Beaver street.
The structure has a front of forty-five feet on Broadway, eighty-five feet on
Beaver street, and is five stories high. The entire building is occupied by the
extensive printing establishment of the ARGUS COMPANY. The building is
supplied with elevators operated by steam, and possesses all the accommoda
tions for conducting a great newspaper. It has recently been greatly enlarged
and improved. It occupies a site which is one of the most attractive in the city.
Located on Broadway, just below its junction with State street, it commands a
complete view of Broadway to the Delavan House on the north, and to the
steamboat landing on the south. The new post-office in course of erection by
the Federal Government is located within twenty rods, and in full view of the
ARGUS building.

The terms of the ARGUS are: Daily, $10 per annum; Semi- Weekly, $3 per
annum; Weekly, $1 50 per annum. The usual reduction made to clubs.

"THE WORLD," NEW YORK.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION,

"THE WORLD > BUILDING.

THE WORLD building is on the site of the old brick church, and its prox
imity to the new Post-office and its situation at the angle of Park Row and
Beekman street, with entrances to the publication office on both streets, give it
the most eligible newspaper location on Printing House square.

This great journal was established June 14, 1860, and announced in its first
issue that it would be " independent in politics." In July, 1861, it united with itself
the New York Courier and Enquirer, one of the oldest and most respectable journals
in the city. Enormous sums of money were expended, but THE WORLD was not
a success till it was purchased, April 12, 1S62, by Mr. Manton Marble who had been
connected with it since its establishment. He at once made it a Democratic
journal, devoted to the time-honored principles of " Hard money, free trade, and
home rule." He parted with a portion of the stock of the paper to influential
Democratic associates, retaining, however, a controlling interest and always
having exclusive management, with no interference, of every department. In
January, 1864, he bought back the shares he had sold, and so became the sole
proprietor and editor of the paper.

Manton Marble is a born journalist. Almost immediately after his gradua
tion at Rochester University, in 1855, he went to Boston, where he joined
the staff of the Journal, and noon afterward became the responsible edi
tor of the Boston Traveller. In 1858 he joined the staff of the New York

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS 261

Evening Post, to which he was attracted by its free-trade principles, and
remained in that position till THE WORLD was established. He was but twenty-
seven years old when he assumed the entire control of THE WOULD, which,
under his management, at once became a powerful journal, and has long since
been generally conceded to be "the leading Democratic journal in the Union."

Mr. Marble's high standard of professional duty and professional accom
plishments enabled him from the first to draw around him a stalf surpassed by
that of no other journal in the country. When he assumed the management of
the WORLD large sums had been sunk in the enterprise, and it was regarded by
many persons as past redemption. He inspired his associates with his confi
dence in its future, boldly increased its outlays for news, enlarged and reorgan
ized its working force in all departments, poured into it all the resources ol
scholarship and ability at his command, and in a very short time compelled the
public to recognize its power and authority, both as an organ of opinion and a
vehicle of information on all subjects of real and vital interest to the commu
nity. The verdict of the press and public of the United States has long ago been
recorded, and is but echoed by the latest foreign critic of our metropolitan
journalism, who has recently said of the WORLD in the columns of the leading
conservative journal of Great Britain that "it has the ablest, wittiest and most
scholarly editorial writers in the city of New York. Its money article," adds
the same observer, '• is confessedly the ablest in any of the city journals. It
wants free trade, hard money and home rule; and is the organ of the Northern
Democrats, with principles broad enough for all sections."

In addition to its daily, semi- weekly, and weekly editions, THE WORLD pub
lishes a special Sunday paper. The first number was issued April 5, 1868, and it
at once attained great popularity from its introduction of features which the
pressure of news and advertisements on week days did not admit. It is, of
course, a regular continuance of the daily issue; but the Sunday issue is greater
by some thousands than that of any other day, from the fact that there are
thousands who buy and read a paper on no other day, and the SUNDAY WORLD
is the most popular of all the Sunday papers. Among its salient special
ties are always delightful dramatic feuilletons and entertaining com
munications from regular contributors. The Sunday editorials, too, are
generally non-political and devoted to social topics; and with all, there is a
vast amount of most interesting miscellaneous matter.

The WEEKLY WORLD, at the astonishing low price of one dollar a year, with
extra inducements to clubs, is unquestionably the best and cheapest newspaper
in the United States. Instead of being, like many weekly issues of the metro
politan dailies, a hastily pitched-together jumble of matter standing on the gal
leys, it is a carefully and specially prepared journal, with its special editor and
assistants, under supervision of the Chief, and is, in fact, totally distinct
from the daily, in these respects— that the news of the week is largely rewritten
and condensed so as to give all that is important from all parts of the world, and
special articles, agricultural and industrial, together with elaborate market
reports, prepared expressly for this issue, are presented in the WEEKLY, which
do not appear in the daily at all. There is always a "good story" for family
reading, either orginal or selected from the best English, or translated from
French or German magazines, the publication of which, of course, would be
impossible in the daily, with much miscellany, giving the family days of
reading till the next issue arrives, thus making the always welcome Weekly,
as used to be said of Sherman's poor man's plaster, "good for a week back."
Of course, the very latest news, including all the important telegrams and cable
grams of the day of publication are given, with the latest markets and quota
tions. The most salient editorials of the week, presenting THE WORLD'S views
on all important political issues, are also presented, thus widely extending its
influence in the effort to break down corruption and to unite the Democrats
and Conservatives in the coming Presidential struggle, which is to decide the
future destinies of the Republic. Its admirably edited Grange department
makes it an especial favorite with the farmers of the Wett. As long ago as
June, 1868, and apropos of the arrival of delegates from all parts of the country
to the National Democratic convention in New York, the New York correspon-

dent, of the Boston Courier thus described the mere mechanical processes neces.
sary to pi-oducethe issue of the WEEKLY WORLD.

* * * " The city casually ' done,' that is surfacewise, in a day or two, the
curiosity of the newly-arrived delegate centers upon Tammany Hall, now rap
idly completing, Central Park, which never will be finished so long as grass
grows and water runs, and the office of the 'great daily' which has furnished
the political pabulum and literary and news record for himself and his family far
away. Of the daily he knows and sees little. It is the peculiarity of the rural
regions to be content with a good weekly paper, and the weekly issues of the
great dailies in the city are generally more widely known, and are more a force
necessarily from their larger circulation, than the daily issues of the same jour
nals. Down to Printing House square comes our inquisitive Delegate to see
how the paper that comes to him once a week as a guide, philosopher and friend
is manufactured. Not specially to see how the brain work is done in the top
stories of those lofty buildings, but how the paper is printed, folded, mailed,
and forwarded, Let us push by the cords upon cords of bundled paper that al
ways block the sidewalk here and there on thg square, the assumed right of the
publishers tacitly admitted, even by policemen, to be superior to the right of
way, and push down into the bowels of THE WORLD. It is six o'clock on Tuesday
night. At this hour the counting room above is almost deserted, and the cars

stories underground, we come upon a busy scene indeed. The WEEKLY WOULD
is just going to press. The steam engine is doing a driving business— that is, it
is driving a ten-cylinder Hoe pre*s, which, in timi, is driving at the rate of from
thirty-two to thirty-six revolutions a minute, each revolution printing ten pa
pers, or from three hundred and twenty to three hundred and sixty papers
every minute. A foreman, assistant, ten feeders, oilers, lifters, and sundry other
workers make this a lively corner in the huge cavern. But the engine drives
also six folding machines, a man at each, each machine folding from 2,000 to
3,000 copies an hour, or an average say of 2,500 copies to each. From 6 p. m. till
12 m. runs press and folders, when the weekly rests and the daily goes to press.
At 6^ o'clock next morning begins work on the weekly again, and press and
folders run till 1 p.m., or aboutthirteen hours 011 this one issue. From the press
room to the quite as busy bundling room, and here we find another foreman
and twenty-four men who act as supplementary folders to the machines, folding
an average of 600 copies each in an hour; anil these with the bundlers, packers
and baggers put up in packages of all sizes and in bags for the mail during the
night and morning 135 bags, averaging 1,000 copies to the bag, or 135,000 copies
for the twelve or thirteen hours' work. Delegate is astonished when he is tohl
that the white paper tor this single issue weighs about seven tons, would fill a
room twenty feet square, and if pieced out sheet by sheet would extend a dis
tance of about ninety-four rniles."

This was written seven years ago, and is by no means an adequate descrip
tion of the department at present. The largely increased circulation of all
issues of THE WORLD, especially of the dailj', have long ago necessitated the
introduction of another gigantic Hoe press, so that both sides of the paper can
now be printed simultaneously. Another and important advantage is that the
paper can be put to press at a later hour, with later news, and yet catch the
earliest mails, which is of especial importance to the daily morning issue.
What is lost in the employment of a necessarily larger force is gained in time.
All the latest machines for folding and mailing have been freely introduced,
regardless of cost, and in all its appointments in this department THE WORLD
oflice is thoroughly complete.

Since 1868 this establishment has annually issued the " THE WORLD ALMAN
AC," which is simply the most complete, concise, correct, and best Politi
cal Manual published in the United States.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON CITY,

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

In a greater degree perhaps than any newspaper in the country, THE WASH
INGTON EVENING STAR is the exponent and representative of the interests of the
city in which it is published. This has been its character from the beginning,
and to this distinctive feature is largely due its present wide circulation and its
high character as an advertising medium. Founded in 18.V2, it is by many years
the oldest, as it is also the most popular and influential, of the many news
papers published at the National Capital. The policy of giving the closest
attention to local interests which was adopted hj' its founders has not only
been adhered to, but still farther developed by its present management, into
whose hands the paper came, by purchase, in 1S67. Not only this, however.
Immediately on assuming control they determined to solve the problem of
publishing a daily news and business journal, strongly local in character, so
cheap as to be within the means of the poorest citizen yet so wide in its scope,
so high in its aims, and so full and complete in all its departments as to meet
the exacting demands of those wishing to keep posted in the daily doings of
the whole world. To this end the largest and best attainable force of editors,
reporters and correspondents is constantly employed, the telegraph is freely
and liberally used, and the fastest and most powerful printing machinery is
called into service. The result is a daily newspaper which literally goes into
every household in the District of Columbia. It has indeed been conclusively
established that THE STAR has more than three times as many subscribers and
more than five times as many readers as any other daily paper published in
Washington. And not this alone. Its regular permanent subscription list is
believed to be larger than that of any evening paper in the United States, no
matter where published, while its circulation is, in proportion to the' population
of the city where printed and circulated, the largest and fullest possessed by
any newspaper in the world. It follows, therefore, that within the territory
covered by its circulation it has no rival, nor anything approaching an equal,
as a means of reaching the public. It has, in fact, passed into a maxim that
-• Every body in the District of Columbia who can read, reads THE STAR, and
every one who advertises at all advertises in its columns." Yet it must not be
thought that its circulation and influence are only local. It has a wide distri
bution through the mails, and in addition to this every issue of the paper is
carefully read by the throngs of strangers constantly visiting the National
Capital OH business or for pleasure, and who constitute in a very large degree
the wealthy and purchasing population of the different States and Territories;
so that, while its field is in a marked degree local, it is nevertheless in the best
sense cosmopolitan and uricircumscribed in its sphere.

But perhaps the history of this remarkably successful and popular journal
can best be epitomized by stating the suggestive facts that it commenced its
career in 1852 with less than $5UO capital, was sold to its present proprietors for
$100,000 cash in 18(57, and is now held to be worth not less than a quarter of a
million dollars. These figures tell the story of patience, of sound judgment, of
well-directed energy and enterprise, of independent action, of fair dealing, of
defence of popular rights, and of strong hold in public esteem, more plainlj-
than a whole volume of words. It is doubtful, indeed, whether the history of
journalism anywhere in the world can show, in all respects, a parallel to it.

THE HOUSEHOLD, BRATTLEBORO, VT.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The HOUSEHOLD lias the honor of being the pioneer in its class of periodicals,
it having been the first, and, for several years, the only journal published in the
country entirely devoted to domestic affairs. It was founded in the belief that
the literature previously furnished by the various "ladies magazines " and kin
dred publications, though occupying its appropriate sphere, and well-adapted
to the needs of a large portion of its readers, was not such as to meet the re
quirements of those earnest working women who constitute so large a portion
of the wives and daughters of our land, but that they needed something more
practical in its nature, whose tendency should be to elevate that peculiar labor
of caring for and managing the family, known by the general term of " house
work," from a mere drudgery to a science, and at the same time extend the
sympathizing hand to those who have a longing to make their home an index,
as it were, ot their characters— a reaching out for an attractiveness of surround
ings which, with much or little expenditure, according to their means, shall at
tract and retain their husbands and friends, educate and refine the boys grow
ing from youth to manhood, and cultivate a love for the good, the beautiful and
the true in the daughters of the household, and in this way to make home, how
ever humble, the dearest place and the family the happiest people.

Such is the aim and purpose of the HOUSEHOLD, and the generous and appre
ciative patronage it has received may be taken as good evidence that the faith
of its projectors was well founded, especially in view of the fact that unlike
many, if not all of the successful journals of the present day, it was in no sense
a child of fortune, either by birth or adoption. It is a well-known saying that
" it takes a fortune to establish a paper," and the history of nearly eveiy promi
nent periodical bears witness to its truth, they having been founded or assisted
by capitalists who were enabled to bring to their aid all the resources that
wealth can supply, and thus command success from the outset. On the other
hand, the HOUSEHOLD was of humble origin, reared in penury and schooled in the
hardships and privations incident to the life of a country printer, and it has
won its way from obscurity to its present position solely by hard labor and
indomitable perseverance. Stai'ting in January 1868, with a subscription list of
thirteen, with no capital to sustain it, and but little experience in newspaper life
to guide and direct its hazardous course, amid doubts and fears, gaining a little
firmer foothold every year, it has fully solved the problem of success, has estab
lished itself upon a firm financial basis, and has to-day the largest circulation of
any monthly published in New England. During this time it has twice been
enlarged, four pages having been added to its original sixteen in the early part
of 1869, the publisher having offered to make such an enlargement when the cir
culation of the journal should reach 12,000, and at the same time promised to
make another and equal enlargement when the subscription list should number
20,000. The latter promise he was able to redeem with the commencement of
the third volume, just two years from the time the firstnumber of the paper was
issued, and since that time it has contained twenty-four large and well-filled
pages, making it considerably the largest dollar monthly issued from an Ameri
can press.

Instead of being'disposed of through newsdealers, as a large portion of most
of the monthly publications are, the large edition of the HOUSEHOLD is mailed
almost entirely from the publishing office, and fills nearly a hundred of Uncle
Sam's large mail sacks per month. These are mailed from the middle to the
last of the month preceeding the date of issue, according to their destination,
those having the farthest to go taking the earliest trains, which enables the

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS. 265

whole edition to reach its readers on time and with the regularity of clock
work. From the mailing table the sacks, weighed by the post-office clerks and
duly labelled, are delivered to the mail agents and by them forwarded to every
State and Territory in the Union, besides a large number sent to foreign coun
tries, from which it will "be seen that the HOUSEHOLD is not a local paper with a
circumscribed field and influence, but a cosmopolitan journal, adapted to all
sections of the country, and is pretty generally found wherever there is a repre
sentative of the class to whose interests it is devoted . Its subscribers are found
in nearly every county in the Northern and Western States, while in the far
South and on the Pacific Coastits patrons are already numbered by the thousands.
It has a large and efficient corps of agents, numbering many hundreds, scattered
throughout the countiy, many of whom have canvassed for it from its com-
niencement, and it is a remarkable fact, and one, it is believed, unparalleled in
the history of journalism, that since the first number was issued not a week-day
has passed without bringing some addition to its subscription list.

A good idea of the character and scope of the HOUSEHOLD may be derived
from a brief review of the special departments into which it is arranged. There
are ten in number, corresponding to the apartments of a dwelling, as follows :
The Veranda, the Drawing Room, the Conservatory, the Dressing Room, the
Nursery, the Dining Room, the Dispensary, the Library, the Kitchen, and the
Parlor.

In the Veranda are given the architectural notes, hints for out-door work,
while a lookout is kept upon the surroundings of the dwelling, and assistance
given toward beautifying the premises. The Drawing Room has articles on the
art of furnishing the house, care of furniture, etiquette, and interior decora
tions. In the Conservatory are gathered the pets of the family in pots, cages
and aquarium, and information given upon all matters pertaining to their
treatment. The Dressing Room contains a brief review of the fashions, toilet
recipes and practical suggestions upon needle-work and kindred topics. The
Nursery is devoted to the care and management of infants and children, and
furnishes the little folks with an assortment of entertaining reading and puzzle
work. The Dining Room is furnished with hints upon table etiquette, the analy
sis of food, table talk, and a column of jokes and funnygraphs as a " dessert.'
The sanitary articles of the Dispensary are from some of the best writers in the
country, and abound in valuable information concerning the care of the sick
and the preservation of health. In the Library literary and educational topics
are freely discussed, and there are also notices and reviews of books and current
publications, and a page of original music in every issue; as the kitchen is gen
erally the most important room in the house, so here the Kitchen is a large and
well filled department, where contributions are received each month from
many of tee most successful housekeepers in all sections of the country upon
the various subjects that please or perplex their younger and less experienced
sisters, with a large number of original and well-tried cooking recipes, a column
of " Questions and Answers " upon all subjects pertaining to home life and
domestic economy, a fund of practical information under the title of " Chats in
the Kitchen," and a page of " Letters" from the Household Board, which is not
surpassed in interest by any other feature of the paper ; last, but not least, is the
Parlor, in which is a choice collection of original and selected stories, miscel
laneous reading, poetry, etc. In short, the HOUSEHOLD is designed to give aid
and sympathy to the housekeeper in every department of labor to which she
may be called, and especially in her efforts to make home beautiful and attrac
tive. It shows how this may be done by the simple taste and skill of the house
wife in a thousand devices and products of domestic ingeiiuity for the comfort
of the family and the adornment of the dwelling, while it labors to promote the
sweetness and grace of true womanhood in its presiding genius.

As an advertising medium the HOUSEHOLD ranks among the first, being
especially valuable to all who desire to attract the attention of housekeeper*
and heads of families. Manufacturers and dealers in articles of domestic use,
who have used its columns for years, frequently say that but few papers equal
and none excel it as a means of extending their business. As an illustration of
the estimation in which it is held by advertisers who have given it a trial, the

266 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS.

following extract from a business letter from Messrs. I. L. Cragin & Co., of Phil
adelphia, the well-known manufacturers of Dobbin's Electric Soaps, may be
appropriately given here : " We are hearing from the HOUSEHOLD from all parts
of the United States, and don't think we shall ever cease to patronize its adver
tising columns. We are in 1,500 papers, and it seems as though half of the letters
we get speak of the HOUSEHOLD." Many others of like import might be given.
One reason of its popularity among advertisers is to be found in the fact that
the limited number of advertisements admitted— not exceeding four pages-
enables the publisher to sift out all the doubtful ones, and so virtually endorse
such as appear in its columns, and this being well known to the readers, they
feel safe in giving their patronage to any firm whose responsibility is thus
vouched lor, which makes the space occupied highly profitable to its advertis
ing patrons. The utmost care is taken to exclude everything of a questionable
character, and nothing but what is believed to be in every re.spect entirely un
exceptionable is permitted to appear in its columns. The fine quality of the
paper upon which it is printed, its clear type and good press-work, give to the
advertisements that peculiar prominence characteristic of a well-printed page,
causing them to be easily seen and read. Then, too, unlike the majority of news-
papers, which are hastily read and soon forgotten, it is generally preserved
through the entire month for family reading, and then quite frequently laid
away to be bound at the close of the volume and kept for future reference, so
that it often occurs that advertisements are replied to several years after their
first appearance. The subscription price of the HOUSEHOLD is one dollar per
year, to which has recently been added ten cents to cover the postage now pro-
paid by the publisher.

THE IRON AGE, NEW YORK.

THE LARGEST NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD.

A SKETCH FOR THE ROOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

During the past twelve or fifteen years trade journalism has experienced a
marked and beneficial change. Previous to that time the commercial journal
was expected to be in itself the representative of all departments of commerce
and industry. When business men were content with a few brief words of com
ment on the condition of the markets which interested them, and were satisfied
if they found them after searching through column after column of matter which
had for them only a remote and general interest, the commercial newspaper of
the olden time filled a want. When business became more speculative, profits
smaller, and competition so close that early and exact information on all sub
jects of interest was of value to merchants and business men, the general com
mercial journals were unable to meet the demand. Their field was so extensive
that they could only cover it in a superficial way ; their reporters and editors,
having to divide their attention among a number of markets, could not closely
follow all the changes in, or familiarize themselves with all the conditions
affecting each. The necessity for fuller and more exact information led to the
establishment of trade journals devoted to some special business or industry,
and while there are still some general commercial journals, there are few trades
or industries which are not represented by class journals, whose columns are
devoted exclusively to the literature, statistics and prices current of the tirades
and markets which constitute their special fields.

Among the first of the special trade journals was THE IRON AGE. Established
in 1855, it is the oldest newspaper in the world devoted to Iron, Hardware and
the Metal Trades. Its original title was the Hardwaremaii's Newspaper, but in
1&59 it was changed to THE IKON AGE. The next oldest journal of its class is the
Ironmonger of London, established in 185!).

THE IRON AGE early assumed, and has since maintained, a first position in
American trade journalism, and for several years has been the largest newspaper
published in this or any country. It consists of forty pages, IHxlT inches, well
printed on good paper. Each number is carefully indexed for reading matter
and advertisements; and each copy is folded, stitched and cut. The area ot
printed surface in each weekly number measures 54 11-36 square feet, being con
siderably larger than any of the popular monthly magazines. Beside the
weekly edition, there are semi-monthly and monthly editions.

The policy of the editorial management of THE IRON AGE has always been to
give each issue an interest and value for all classes of its readers. As a trade
journal it was the first to give thorough, exhaustive and exact reports of the
markets it represented, and in carrying out this plan it has practically revolu
tionized commercial journalism. To obtain the information needed was at first
very difficult and always very costly. To make its reports complete and accu
rate it was necessary to employ as reporters men of business experience, who
could at any time command large salaries as salesmen ; correspondents had to
be secured at home and abroad, and branch offices, under the management oi
accomplished journalists, have been established in Philadelph a and Pittsburgh

Among the features of THE IRON AGE trade report maybe mentioned, weekly
telegrams from London, a thorough and exhaustive report on the condition and
changes of price in the American Hardware market, careful and accurate re
ports of the Iron and Metal market in the principal cities of the United States,
and condensed translations from the latest exchanges, trade circulars and
private advices from the principal metal markets of all countries of the workl

268 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

These are features never before combined in a newspaper trade report, and
there are few commercial journals in the world which could afford the large
annual expenditure involved in the maintenance of such a system.

In its editorial and reading columns THE IRON AGE possesses a character
which is distinctively national. It is valuable as a record of current progress in
metallurgy, mechanics, engineering and the useful arts, and is conspicuous for
the extent, variety, and interest of its reading matter. In its editorial columns
all questions of current interest to the iron, steel, metal and hardware trades
are calmly and intelligently discussed, and no space is wasted in acrimonious
and unprofitable disputation with other journals. Its acknowledged position at
the head of American commercial and technical journals has been gained and
retained by an unwavering adherence to the policy to making a paper as valu
able and useful as possible, without regard to cost or trouble. The result has
been the growth of a circulation larger than that of any other trade journal in
this country, or, we believe, in the world, and a large and firmly-established
prosperity, which the commercial and financial troubles of the past three years
have not even menaced.

In the amount of its advei'tising TLE IRON AGE is a curiosity in journalism.
This averages from 130 to 150 columns, and in a number containing 48 pages it
has reached very nearly 200 columns. Its advertising pages are an illustrated
trade directory of exceptional interest. This great amount of advertising is
due to the' extensive circulation of the paper and the fact that its rates of
advertising have always been exceptionally low, considering its circulation
and influence. In consequence of this policy, THE IRON AGE has gained a con
stituency of advertisers who find it to their interest to keep their advertise
ments in the paper without interruption.

THE IRON AGE is published every Thursday at 10 Warren street, New York,
by David Williams, publisher and proprietor. James C. Eayles has been its
editor since 1871, aided by a well-selected staff of assistants and contributors.
The Western office, established at No. 14 Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh, is under the
management of Joseph M. Weeks, formerly editor of the American Manufacturer
of that city, who is also associate editor, with especial charge of Western iron
trade news. The Philadelphia office is at No. 220 South Fourth street, under the
management of Thomas Hobson.

270 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

The COUKIER-JOURNAL of Louisville, Ky., is an anomaly in American
journalism. Issued from a city of the sixth class, it is a journal of the first,
class. No newspaper in the country has so extended a range of circulation ; no
other is so generally and widely quoted. It is both cosmopolitan and provin
cial, showing in its make-up an unusual versatility of editing. Its news is col
lated in the most minute and painstaking way, whilst its humor, paragraphic,
and otherwise, is celebrated and popular. It is thoroughly representative of
the South and Southwest, and has come to be considered a tolerably sure indi
cator of public opinion in those sections.

The COURIER- JOURNAL is the offspring of three newspapers which flourished
in Louisville from 1830 to 1868, to wit : the Journal, established by George D.
Prentice on the 24th of November, 1830 ; the Courier, eytablished by Walter N
Haldeman June 3, 1844, and the Democrat, established by John H. Harney about
the same time. These three newspapers, competing with each other for nearly
twenty-five years, experienced the vaiying fortunes of the city and the time ;
but were in the main successful. On the 8th of November, 1868, Henry Watterson
having succeeded George D. Prentice in the management of the Journal, made
an arrangement with Mr. Haldeman for a consolidation. The union effected,
the two journalists purchased the Democrat, throwing the three into one under
the title of the COURIER-JOURNAL.

In this way they secured the exclusive telegraphic franchise for the city of
Louisville, embracing a population of a hundred and fifty thousand. This is
the only instance of the kind on record, and will partly account for the unex
ampled prosperity of the enterprise so inaugurated; for it enabled Messrs.
Haldeman and Watterson to compete with the journals of Chicago, St. Louis,
and Cincinnati, cities very much larger than Louisville. They improved their
opportunity with energy and vigor. The COURIER-JOURNAL has now a larger cir
culation in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Arkan
sas, and Texas than any of the journals of those States. It is sent into every State
and Territory of the Union, and may be found upon the tiles of more libraries,
boards of trade, literary societies, mercantile exchanges, chambers of com
merce, Yoiing Men's Christian Associations, hotels and club houses than any of
its contemporaries in the Southwest.

The COURIER-JOURNAL has just erected, and now occupies, a newspaper
building in all respects the handsomest and most commodious in the world.
This building, which stands upon the corner of Fourth avenue and Green street,
the most conspicuous corner in the city of Louisville, has a Fourth avenue
front of 165 feet by a depth of 95 feet, is five stories high, with a Mansard roof,
and is furnished throughout in a style of great magnificence. It is constructed
of stone and pressed brick, and is of rare architectural beauty. Its principal
facade is ornamented by a marble statue of George D. Prentice, the founder
of the Journal. The composing, editorial, and press rooms are capacious and
elegant, whilst its business is transacted in a counting-room unsurpassed in size
and beauty.

In politics the COURIER-JOURNAL, has always been Democratic, but has led
the liberal and advanced elements of that party, and is at all times thoroughly
independent.

The -COURIER-JOURNAL is a folio sheet 30x48 inches in size. Its forms are
stereotyped, and the paper is printed on a double Bullock press, capable of
throwing off upwards of 20,000 perfect papers per hour.

The new building and office is supplied with all modern conveniences and
improvements, such as freight and passenger elevators, steam, engines, steam
pumps, extinguishers, fire protectors and folding machines. Indeed, every
thing has been provided to render the COURIER-JOURNAL the finest, most com
plete, and convenient printing establishment not only in the United States,
but in the world.

THE INTER-OCEAN, CHICAGO.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

Westward the course of journalism as well as empire takes its way. Yester
day the great dailies of the country belonged to New York alone. To-day
Chicago contests and divides the honor, and crowds its rival over the Eastern
slope of the Alleghanies.

It is about six years since Chicago began a newspaper rivalry with New
York, but it was not until THE INTER OCEAN was founded, in 1872, that a serious
attempt was made to establish in the West a

HIGH-TONED POLITICAL AND LITERARY NEWSPAPER.

Before that the journals of Chicago were exclusively newspapers. Their opinions
were little regarded, and their literary character partook much of the frontier
order; the rough and sensational, instead of the refined and aesthetic, were
sought after.

It was doubted whether a newspaper of a better character could prosper in
the West; but that doubt is removed. From its inception THE INTEK-OCEAN
appealed to the loftier instincts of the people, and from the start met with
generous encouragement. It has never been found in the slums, nor is it
hawked about in the disreputable quarters of the Western metropolis, but goes
to the homes of more reading and thinking people than any other journal in
America.

IN CITY AND COUNTRY ALIKE

it is recognized as the organ of respectabilitj' par excellence. To read THE INTEK-
OCEAN is prima facie proof of intelligence, and no surer sign of cultivation can
be given than to be known as a regular subscriber to the great literary monitor
of the Northwest.

The circulation of THE INTER-OCEAN has increased with a steady rapidity,
astonishing even its most sanguine friends. Its printing facilities, large at first,
have been from time to time increased, and in March of the present year its
presses, including one immense eight-cylinder Hoe, were still found inadequate,
and contracts were closed with the Bullock Printing Press Company for two ot
their new perfecting presses of the latest pattern, each capable of printing
13,000 perfect sheets per hour.

As an indication of the magnitude of the present circulation of the paper, it
is only necessary to refer to the indubitable evidence furnished by the post-
office returns. Postage, by law, must be paid in advance at the office of publf
cation, and from this official source the actual facts regarding the circulation ofc
any newspaper through the mails can be obtained. The evidence thus on file
shows that during the year 1875 THE INTER-OCEAN

PAID IN POSTAGE $13,029.84—

a sum equal to that paid by all the other political journals in Chicago combined,
and absolutely unapproachet i, with one exception, by any other newspaper in
the United States.

This enormous circulation grows less wonderful when we take into account
the character of the people who look to Chicago for their newspaper literature
Outside of a narrow strip of New England, there is not in the Union, according
to population, so large a percentage of reading and thinking people as inhabit
the nine States having Chicago for a commercial and financial centre. That
among so many millions of thoughtful, industrious, and prosperous people THE
INTER-OCEAN shouldgain an extended foothold is not strange. The paper Is but

272 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

the reflex of their owa thoughts and sentiments, and has become endeared to
the people of the West as a part of themselves.

Though Republican in politics,

THE INTER-OCEAN" IS FRANK AND OUTSPOKEN

on questions of public policy, and its bold course in this respect has made its
name familiar throughout the country. On the Southern reconstruction, the
railway problem, and the currency question, it has been a law unto itself. Be
ginning the discussion of each of these subjects alone, it built them up into
great living national issues, commanding the attention of the entire people and
press of the country.

The flow of subscribers that set in alone from the West, ere long had its
counterpart from the East and South also, until now the tide has swept the whole
continent and THE INTER-OCEAN embraces a constituency national in extent and
first in wealth and culture.

A year or so ago a distinguished bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
writing to the New York Independent, said: "THE INTER-OCEAN is the clearest
wisest, and strongest of American dailies. It is the true and almost only suc
cessor of the great New York Tribune of ante-bellum fame and power. When it
circulates Eastward, as the Greeley journal of yesterday went Westward, we
shall feel and follow our way out of the Jo wncss and guiltiness and cowardice
and crime that now nationally envelop and fester us."

The growing strength of THE INTER-OCEAN in the East shows that the day
hoped for by the Bishop may not be far away.

A PROMINENT AND EXCELLENT FEATURE

of the INTER- OCEAN is its reliability. This is so marked as to be frequently ob
servable in an amusing way. The past year has been full of surprises and scan
dalous exposures. When any ot these have been made public the demand for
THE IXTER-OCEAN has been most marked and extensive. The readers of other
newspapers have seemed to turn with one accord to its columns for a verifica
tion of such reports. The inquiry on all sides has been, " What does THE IXTER-
OCEAN say ?" and by its silence, contradiction, or confirmation has the reliability
or untrustworthy character of such rumors been generally judged.

CHICAGO IS A NATURAL ENTREPOT OF NEWS.

More than 21,000 miles of railroad connect it with the surrounding territory, and
'• Chicago" appears in the corporate name of fifty railways. Twenty lines
radiate from the city, and more than one-half of the entire population of the
Union can be reached in twenty-four hours from this great INTER-OCEANIC
metropolis.

Gradually but surely the newspapers of the Atlantic seaboard are being
driven back into their natural local boundries, while the great central organs of
the West push their way North, and South, and East in simultaneous accord.

The star that shines ever so brilliantly on the verge of a cycloid pales when
the centre is reached, and fades away entirely at the antipodean boundary;
but the centric sun distributes its radiance equally, and sheds light upon the
East and the West alike.

The West, so-called, is now the center of the Union and, with its vast
population, controls the destinies of the Republic. There is but one West, and
Chicago is its capital. There is only one Chicago, and THK INTER-OCEAN is its
prophet.

THE CONGREGATIONALISM BOSTON.

REPRESENTING THE OLDEST RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPER IN THE WOULD.

A SKETCH FO!l THE BOOK OK THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION'.

In January of the year 181(», Nathaniel Willis, after long labor to prepare the
way, published the first number of the Boston Recorder. He always claimed

THE CONGREGAT10NALIST BUILDING.

that it was the first effort ever successfully made to establish a weekly newspa
per upon a distinctively religious basis, and the claim has been allowed by im
partial histoiy. In May, 1849, Deacon Galen James started the CONGREGATION-
A.L.IST in Boston, to meet the views of a school of Congregationalists who were
.iot satisfied with then existing journals. In 1867— following the spirit of the
Boston Council of 1865, and falling in with the tendency to harmonize into one
all members of the great family of the spiritual descendants of the Pilgrims—
the Recorder and CONGREGATIONALIST were united under the editorship of Rev.
Henry M. Dexter, D. D.; and from that time to the present the resultant journal
has had a recognized standing at the head of Congregational newspapers, not
merely in point of circulation, but of general ability.

Its proprietors, while holding it steadily to the doctrinal standards of the
Congregational Churches, and while aiming to give it a special value in al] its
relations to polity and to practical Christianity, have sought also to make it,
what it is conceded to be—

A FAVORITE FAMILY PAPER.

By a liberal expenditure it has attached to itself, as a staff of regular con
tributors, a large number of the best religious writers, while the learning, force,
aptness, and general value of its editorials, the marked candor and ability of its
book reviews, and the unsurpassed variety and freshness of its religious news,
entitle it to hold and increase the wide popularity which it has gained. W. L.

"THE YOUTH'S COMPANION," BOSTON,

A SKETCH FOR TUB BOOK OF THE CENTENXIAL NKWSPAPEU EXHIBITION.

FIRST YOUTH'S PAPER.

The YOUTH'S COMPANION is the pioneer paper in the juvenile literature of ouv
own country, and the oldest weekly paper tor young people in the world. It is
now forty-nine years of age, and in a few months will celebrate its semi-centen
nial anniversary. It was commenced in May, 1827, by NATHANIEL WILLIS, o;
Boston, the father of N. P. Willis, the poet, who also founded the Eastern Argus
and the Boston Recorder.

ORIGIN.

The early history of the paper is novel and interesting, and illustrates the
growth of an idea. Mr. Willis having been accustomed to relate stories to his
own children, as a reward for committing to memory the lessons he assigned
them, was led to see the value of such literature in developing the thought
and character of the young. It suggested to him the plan of having a Children's
Department in the Boston Recorder. He acted upon the suggestion, the new
feature of the paper became popular and successful, and it has been since
adopted by nearly all religious journals.

The stories for young people in the Recorder were so eagerly sought for, that
Mr. Willis determined to start what at that time seemed a very novel enterprise
—ii paper exclusively for the young. A specimen number was issued in May,
1827, a sufficient number of subscribers was obtained to warrant its continuance,
and, in th-3 month of June following the first weekly paper for young people
began its successful career.

The sheet was a veiy small one, hardly larger than an old-fashioned pane ol
glass, the type was large and coarse, and the single picture it contained would
now bring a smile to the face of the most inartistic reader. But, though coarse
in appearance, its literary material, like the old N. E. Family Magazine, was
usually of a high order, indicating excellent taste and judgment. It attained a
circulation of about 5,000 copies.

FORD & OLMSTEAD.

For many years the COMPANION published under its name the information,
in one long line, that it was issued "by Nathaniel Willis, weekly, at No. 11
Cornhill, office of the Boston Recorder, at one dollar a year." In 1857 Mr. WILLIS'
health having become impaired by advanced age, the paper was purchased by
Messrs. Ford and Olmstead, proprietors of the Watchman and Reflector, and
published under the firm of Olmstead & Co. The editing of it passed into the
hands of Mr. D. S. Ford, who is now its editor, and since the year 1867 has been
its sole proprietor. Mr. Willis, its founder, died in 1870, in the 91st year ot
his age.

ENLARGEMENT AND GROWTH.

The little paper had made for itself a good reputation and character. Its
new editor enlarged it in size, and aimed to give it a higher literary value. Its-
articles took a wider range, very engaging writers were secured, and the circula
tion under this impetus began to rapidly increase. In a few years its subscrip
tion list grew from 5,000 to 40,000 names.

RAPID INCREASE.

The increase in resources was followed by a corresponding increase in the
literary value of its contents. It became the aim of its editor, after the model of
Chambers'' Journal, to furnish the best reading at a comparatively small cost.
The paper was again enlarged, new literary departments were formed, emi-

THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS 275

nent contributors were secured, and it.s editorials were prepared by the most
capable city editors. In 1870 its subscription list reached 70,000.

A FAMILY PAPER.

From about this time the character of the paper underwent a change, and
it became both a literary journal for the young and for the family. Its stories
adapted themselves to the tastes of a larger audience of readers; its articles on
current topics were so prepared as to be interesting to the cultivate 1 and
critical as well as to the young. The wants of the family from the youngest
to the oldest were considered, and the purest and the most entertaining writers
were employed to meet these wants.

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS.
Nothing is so successful as success, or more trustworthy than success gained
by a well-directed purpose and a generous and liberal aim.

is now a thirty-two column paper, and has a circulation of 140,000 copies
weekly. Many of the parents who subscribe for it for their families to-day were
readers of it wlien they themselves were boys and girls. The paper holds from
year to year the great body of its old subscribers, and. adds to these a yearly
list of new names which many publishers would consider a liberal subscrip
tion list.

ITS ARTICLES AND WRITERS.

The COMPANION" publishes three or four serial stories, some two hundred
shorter stories, more than- two hundred editorials, and more than fifteen hun
dred shorter articles, selections, poems, etc., each year. It emploj^s some fifty
contributors. Among these are the well-known names of J. T. Trowbridge,
Edward Eggleston, Rev. E. E. Hale, Rev. Win. M. Baker, Hon. C. C. Hazewell,
Geo. M. Towle, Esq., Mrs. Leonowens, Miss L, M. Alcott, Mrs. H. P. Spofford, Mrs.
Rebecca Harding Davis, Celia Thaxter, Mrs. Moulton, and Mrs. Diaz. Among oc
casional or promised writers are Wm. Cullen Bryant, Dr. Hayes, Hon. Schuyler
Colfax, etc, Its editorial department is managed in a very careful and critical
manner, the articles on literature, science, and politics being prepared by gentle
men who have special and exceptional litness for the work.

1827—1877.

Nearly fifty years of its history have passed, and one generation has already
handed the paper to another. To give the faces at the fireside a warmer glow ; to
create character and intelligence; to publish nothing of which the influence
will not be good; to honor God, and to bring stainless and hallowed memories
out of all the relations of the family and daily life, will be its aim in 1877, as it
was in its origin fifty years ago.

THE REPUBLICAN, SPRINGFIELD, MASS.

A SKETCH FOU THE BOOK OF THE CENTEN'NIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The Springfield (Mass.) REPUBLICAN, established in 1824, lias become the lead
ing and representative paper of New England, and the first provincial paper in
America.

A Whig journal in the days of the old Whig party, it was'lirst and conspicu
ous in the formation of the republican party; but since that party's great work
was completed, the paper has grown steadily into a position of entire political
independency, and made itself a leader in the press of the country for sectional
reconciliation and administrative reform.

The REPUBLICAN now ranks, practically, as the independent journal of New
England ; the advocate of honesty and. reform in government, honor and puritj'
in politics, economy and simplicity in public and private life; the slave of no
party, the organ of no politician ; an honest paper for honest people.

As a newspaper, the REPUBLICAN cherishes the qualities which have made it
popular and powerful— promptness, clearness, brevity, and comprehensiveness,
regarding the development of thought, the difference of opinion and the dis
coveries of science, equally as news with current accidents and crimes, and
giving especial attention to the record of events and the progress of life in New
Ewgland. As a public journal, it is all-embracing in its field of discussion and
selection, and independent and thoughtful in its treatment of all current topics,
and aiming to make for itself both a welcome and useful place as an instructor,
a critic, and a stimulant in every family that adopts it.

Published both daily and weekly, the WEEKLY REPUBLICAN is made up with
especial care for a general circulation, and may fairly claim to be the best eclec
tic weekly newspaper in the country. It offers itself especially to politicians
and scholars, to New Englanders at home or in distant parts of the country,
and to Americans abroad, as giving, in a single sheet, a more comprehensive
and impartial summary of general New England and American news, and
fuller and more independent discussions of all prominent topics of American
life, and a more varied picture of our literary, art and social progress than can
be found anywhere else.

The REPUBLICAN is printed 011 a large double sheet of eight pages, forty
eight columns. The daily is three cents a copy, seventy-five cents a month, and
$9 a year; the weekly is five cents a copy, $2 a year, and $1.50 in clubs of five or
more.

As an advertising medium, the REPUBLICAN presents peculiar advantages in
the amount, character and field of its circulation and the low rates charged.
The DAILY REPUBLICAN has a firm circulation of 11,000 copies, which is as many
or more than is printed by any daily paper in Boston save two; two or three
times as many as by any other paper in Massachusetts out of Boston, or in Con
necticut; and larger than by any other provincial paper in the country. In all
western Massachusetts and up and down the Connecticut valley, it circulates
more largely than all other daily papers together; while in more distant parts of
New England, in Vermont and Connecticut especially, both the daily and weekly
have exceptionally numerous readers among the most intelligent and influential
members of society.

The terms of advertising — low, uniform and for cash — are five cents a line of
eight words," each insertion, in the daily, and twelve cents a line in the weekly.
Special or displayed notices, ten cents aline of space in the daily ail<i twenty
cents in the weekly. Address the REPUBLICAN, Springfield, Mass.

THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS.

A SKETCH FOU THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The Philadelphia PRESS was founded on the 1st of August, 1857. It was the
creation of John W. Forney, who has figuered for more than thirty years in pub-
lie life, and who is the last member of the great quartette that once dominated
American journalism— Greeley, Bennett, Raymond and Forney, and -who, with a
single exception, have surrendered their pens and lives. The history of THE
PRESS is nearly- that of Mr. Forney. He was its originator, and he has been its
guiding spirit. In 1857 Mr. Forney, who had already achieved national distinc
tion as a journalist, and as an earnest worker in the ranks of the Democratic
party, who had edited its national organs and led its army of voters to victory
in the doubtful and Keystone State, became disgusted with its management and
distrustful of its purposes. A Democrat by conviction, but of the old and better
school, and a disciplinarian by habit, he sought in the establishment of THE
PRESS to reform his party within its own lines, to win it back to its original
principles, and to save it from its enemies in its own household. The sequel of
that determined struggle is well remembered. The fight was a gallant one, but
the results were n6t those for which the editor hoped. He builded better, how
ever, than he knew and it was through his efforts and those of the brave Doug
lass Democrats who co-oporated with him, that the Republican party was con
solidated for victory, Abraham Lincoln elected, and the nation newly born and
baptized in the blood which has purified it from the great sin of slavery. The
subsequent history of the newspaper of which he was the founder, and is still
the active editor and proprietor, is well known. It is as it has been since 1860,
au ardent and consistent advocate of Republican principles, but its party
fidelity has never been subordinated to its personal sense of duty, and while its
loyalty to the party and principles it prefers is not questioned, THE PRESS has
never hesitated to speak out boldly against the mistakes and corruptions of its
political friends.

As a newspaper THE PRESS is without arival in Pennsylvania. In the extent
of its correspondence, the multiplicity of its genius and the amplitude of its
resources, it has no competitor. Its founder, John W. Forney, is at its head,
and its ability is unquestioned. It is dignified in its discussions, but where
denunciation is merited and necessary, it is unsparing. Sensationalism is a
siranger to its columns, even while it prints all the news of the day, while it
does not mince matters as a rule, it always supplies the knife where it deems it
necessary.

THE PRESS enjoys a large circulation and extensive business patronage from
the very best circle of readers— people of intelligence and means— who find it
the only medium which supplies their wants and the best guide to their pur
chases. It was never more prosperous than at present, and its circulation is
constantly increasing. It is recognized as the Journal of the Centennial Ex
position as clearly as if the Commission had issued a proclamation to that
effect, and the influence of this upon its growth is attested by its rapid rise in
circulation since that great enterprise became a fixture.

For the centennial year THE PRESS has been completely reorganized, and
with its founder at its head, has a staff of writers and contributors imequaled
by that of any Philadelphia journal. Mr. Forney's vigorous pen is daily seen
in its columns, and among his associate editors are Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie,
who has a literary reputation second to that of no other journalist in the country,
Mr. Thomas Meehan, the scholar and scientist, Mr. John W. Forney, Jr., well
known as dramatic critic, Mr. Audubon Davis, who has been connected in
various capacites with many of the leading journals of the country, and Messrs.

278 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

Thomas F. Logan and Thomas A. Egan, well-known writers. It has a large and
well-trained corps of reporters, the chief of whom is Robert M. Me Wade, able
and regular correspondents at London, Washington, and Harrislmrg, the capital
of Pennsylvania, and occasional correspondents in nearly every town and
hamlet in the State, who keep it informed of every important and interesting
event that occurs.

THE PRESS occupies a large and convenient building at the Southwest cor
ner of Seventh and Chestnut streets, in Philadelphia, the largest building, with
one exception, occupied by a Philadelphia newspaper, and in the excellence of
its appointments is unexcelled by any of its contemporaries. During the con
tinuance of the Centennial Exposition it will have a branch office at the Globe
Hotel, adjoining the Exposition and grounds, and in 1876 it will be conspicuous
as the newspaper of Pennsylvania. It also prints Weekly and Tri-weekly edi
tions, which also have large and well-deserved circulations.

The terms of THE PRESS are : Daily, single copies, 3 cents. Mailed to sub
scribers, including pre-paid postage, at $8.75 per annum; $4.40 for six months;
$2.20 for three months. Served to city subscribers at 18 cents per week.

THE TRI-WEEKLY PRESS is published every Tuesday, Thursday, and Satur
day. Mailed to subscribers, including pre-paid postage, at $4.40 per annum;
$2.20 for six months, and $1.10 for three months.

THE WEEKLY PRESS, $2 per annum ; five copies, including pre-paid postage
$9.50; ten copies, including pre-paid postage, $16; twenty copies, including pre
paid postage, $29; fifty copies, including pre-paid postage, $60. Larger clubs
than fifty will be charged in the same proportion per copy. To the getter-up ot
clubs often or more an extra copy will be given.

All business letters for this office should be addressed to JOHN W. FORNEY,
Editor and Proprietor of THE PRESS, Southwest corner Seventh and Chestnut
streets, Philadelphia.

THE CHRISTIAN UNION, NEW YORK.

HENRY WAHD TiEECHER, EDITOR.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The CHRISTIAN UNION was established in September, 1SG9, and is therefore
one of the youngest of the religious weeklies.

From its commencement the association of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher with
it as editor gave it a strong impetus, and it sprang rapidly into favor. In a
very few years it attained a circulation of thirty thousand subscribers, when
by the introduction of chromo premiums, then a novelty (but since discon
tinued by the paper), the circulation was increased in a few months to the un
precedented number of one hundred and thirty-two thousand, extending to
every State and Territory in the Union, to the Canada?.., and indeed to every
• itiarter of the globe.

As the medium of Mr. Beecher's "Lecture Room Talks," editorials, and
articles of a general nature, the paper was warmly received by all classes,
and still maintains its strong hold upon the Christian public. Its has been
neither sectarian nor actively controversial. Its past and present position
can best be described in Mr. Beecher's own language. He wrote :

"The CHRISTIAN UNION will seek the Union of all Christians, not by chasing
the phantom of an organic unity, but by promoting such dispositions of charity
and kindly sympathy as shall bring inen of whatever mode of worship into a
real sympathetic relation witli each other.

It will recognize the existence and importance of Christian doctrine, but it
will not admit any human statement of doctrine to be inspired or authoritative,
but to be always open to new thought, criticism and reconstruction. It will
regard no doctrine as fundamental unless it is indispensable to the formation of
Christian character. Doctrines may be fundamental to th-^ structure of a given
system of theology, which are quite unimportant in the formation of Christian
habits and dispositions.

Believing that the Sacred Scriptures represent the Gospel, not simply as an
accomplished and external history, but as the disclosure of Divine Power,
forever active, and unfolding itself in the experience of God's people, through
all generations, we shall interpret the spirit and text of Scripture not alone, by
the laws of language, but by the experiences of the Church, and by all the dis
closures of Divine Providence in human society.

Whatever throws light upon the structure of the body, the nature of human
'acuities, the divine method of creation and development of human life and
society, we shall believe to be included in Chr stianity, as trees are included in
.the seeds from which they grow. Whatever in the whole range of science, and
in the results of art, promotes the welfare of mankind ; whatever in political
economy augments the productive forces of society; whatever in politics tends
to purify the State, destroy its enemies, exalt the government in wisdom,
fidelity, and benignity, we shall regard as a part of that great development to
which the name of Christ will be forever joined, who is the divine fountain
from whence flows the vital influence by which mankind are to be exalted from
animalism to Christian manhood. Above all material laws, and behind all
sensuous instruments, is a Living Soul. We receive devoutly records and
revelations of the truth wrought out in human life and experience by that
Soul in the past, and with a quick sensibility we shall listen to every disclosure
of God's truth which he is making through all avenues in our own day.

It is the purpose of the CHRISTIAN UMON, 'as much as lieth in if,' to avoid
controversy But when it is unavoidable it will 'do with its might what its
hands shall find to do.' But its chief endeavor will be to secure good, in the
household, the. Church, and the State, by the genial and kindly forces of Chris
tianity. Conscience, without benignant sympathies, is unchristian. A high
ideal of human life and society, enforced by a cold and severe criticism which
disdains all human weaknesses tind infirmities, is less vulgar than ribald
scoffing, but is none the less tyrannic and Satanic.

While generous criticism of the views and practices of all sects, parties and
persons will not bedisallowed.it is the purpose of this rrnper, in all ways, to
bring men's hearts together. It will earnestly strive to encourage good works
in all sects, to rejoice in the prosperity of each denomination; to cover their
faults rather than to proclaim them; to be generously just; to avoid all spite

280 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

and malice toward enemies; to resist all influences which tend to separate men
from eacli other; to promote kindness and sympathy between unlike men; not
to disown severity of rebuke, and yet mainly to overcome evil with good; to
promote cheerfulness and innocent mirth ; to give to conscience an atmosphere
of benevolence ; to inspire hope, courage, and love in every household. It will,
in short, seek to diffuse that Gospel, whose annunciation was, 'Good Will to
Wen,' whose Author and Hero sacrificed his own life to save mankind, and
whose God and Father is named Love."

The pages ot the CHRISTIAN UNION are never soiled by advertisements of a
doubtful character. Neither does it knowingly admit blind advertisements
intended to decoy, mislead, and defraud the innocent. No advertisement is
received which cannot be read aloud in the household without invidious com
ment. All advertisements are carefully examined, and their character known
to the publisher before insertion. Its value as an advertising medium has
been very fully tested by the most prominent advertisers in this country.
Their statements have frequently appeared in its columns; but a better attesta
tion of its merit is the fact that it has retained many of them during all the
financial distress of the past two years, and is still receiving their constant
patronage. The fact, too, that its columns are continually employed by the best-
known and most influential advertising agencies and advertisers in the land, i,*
additional evidence of the excellent and remunerative character of the circu
lation.

The present publisher is HORATIO C. KING, and the office of the company is
at No. 27 Park Place, New York.

THE CINCINNATI GAZETTE, CINCINNATI, 0.

ESTABLISHED 1793.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

The CINCINNATI GAZETTE has been in existence eighty-three years. Cincinnati
was at that time merely a frontier village of a few hundred inhabitants. Now it is
one of the important and prosperous cities of the country— the centre of its popu
lation, and the heart of the continent.

The GAZETTE'S growth aptly illustrates the general growth of American jour
nalism, for no paper of equal age has attained a similar circulation and celebrity.
The most material change thus denoted is that in the cost and revenues of leading
papers. As lately as 1850 the entire yearly receipts of the GAZETTE for subscriptions
would not have equalized the present expenditure for correspondence by telegraph
and mail. The labor of half a dozen persons then sufficed for the editorial work,
while the expense of correspondents was seldom incurred. Now the editors, re
porters, and correspondents of the GAZETTE are numbered by hundreds, and it has
a representative in every leading city of either hemisphere. Its other disburse
ments have augmented in the same degree, being measured by the public demands
and expectations, and compensated by its ever-increasing patronage. A long and
firmly-established paper's expenses are regulated by its circulation, and the latter
is effected only by the matter of brains, business enterprise, and density of popu
lation. The city of Cincinnati is notably superior in its intelligence, and exacting in
newspaper requirements, while the contiguous country upon all sides is thickly
populated. Its newspaper standard is, therefore, above the average, and confers
upon the paper that acceptably fills its requirements a superior character and
circulation.

The changes in the publication department of the GAZETTE are worthy of notice.
The first " power press" used West of the Allegheny mountains was bought by it.
It cost twelve hundred dollars — a very large outlay for the purpose in that early day.
The wheel that moved the machinery was turned by a single man. Its hourly
capacity was 800 sheets, printed on one side, and to furnish that number of complete
papers required two hours. The same person who turned the wheel of that press
is still employed in the office on the new Hoe Perfecting Double Press, which has a
eelf-feeding capacity of 28,000 sheets per hour, printed on both sides. It is the
fastest press in the world. In sixty minutes it does as much and better work than
the first power press could do in seventy hours. The machinery and appliances in
existence thirty years ago could not have accomplished in a week the work now
dune in a single day in any large newspaper ollice. A century ago it could not have
been accomplished at all.

The GAZETTE has three editions— daily, semi-weekly, and weekly— printed from
stereotype plates. There are printed weekly an aggregate of 160,000 papers, which
are read by a half million of people distributed throughout Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. The annual issues of the paper aggregate
about 8,000,000, and the paper thus used, if in a continuous sheet, would reach over
5,000 miles. The vast business thus indicated has mainly grown up within a third oi
a century, for prior to 1840, Cincinnati's newspaper traffic was trilling. In 1835
the GAZETTE'S aggregate circulation did not exceed 1,200 copies, while at the
present time these figures barely cover the mere occasional fluctuations, within a
few days, in its circulation. The bed of the old stream is but the margin of the
new.

As a complete American newspaper the CINCINNATI GAZETTE has no superior.
Its ability and its integrity are recognized and unquestioned. It has a national

282 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS.

reputation for its fearlessness no less than for its fairness in the discussion of matters
of political and public policy. As a commercial paper it has been regarded as a
standard for over twenty-five years. It has aimed for over half a century to fully
satisfy the demand for a paper wholly acceptable to the cultured and active business
classes of its section, and it has succeeded. In a population older, more advanced
and denser thao can be found in any other part of the West, it is undeniably the
leading paper in character, in influence and in circulation.

The weekly edition of the GAZETTE is one of the most widely-circulated family
and agricultural papers. Its agricultural value is seen in its abundant correspond
ence from practical farmers, who make it their medium for the exchange of views
and intelligence. Of literature it is not unmindful. Great prominence is given to
reviews of new publications, and to scientific, social and religious movements. It
contains more reading matter than any other Cincinnati paper, and the character of
its contents precludes a comparison with the pretentious but worthless and transi
tory mushrooms of the journalistic field. It has more than 3,000 regular club agents,
and is sent to subscribers at over 4,000 post-offices throughout the land.

The GAZETTE'S publication building, on the northeast corner of Fourth and
Vine streets, was bought by its proprietors fifteen years ago, and is now the most
valuable corner in the city. Except a small part of the first floor, the entire edifice
is devoted to the business of the GAZETTE, and recently the latter was obliged to
secure additional space in a contiguous building. The Eastern office of the paper is
at No. 37 Tribune Building, New York city.

In proportion to its circulation, and to the manifest value of the latter to adver
tisers, the GAZETTE rates are the lowest in Cincinnati. Its columns have uniformly
been preferred by foreign advertisers to those of any neighboring cotemporary, and
for a long time no other Cincinnati paper has enjoyed an equal revenue from dis
tant sources.

THE PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRAT.

A SKETCH FO't TIIK 1? )OK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIIilTION

PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRAT BUILDING.

The PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRAT was established ls<38 as a daily German news
paper by Mr. L. A. Wottenweber. Like all its contemporaries of that time, it was
of humble origin, and made but slow progress until the events of 1848 brought
about that great tidal-wave of German immigration to our shores, which continue^
with undimmished force till the beginning of our civil war, and greatly changed the
character and the status of the German element in the United States, making it
much more influential, not only by more than trebling it in numbers, but by adding
to it by thousands highly-educated Germans, who, having joined the revolutionary
movement, had, after its defeat, to seek refuge abroad, which most of them sought
and found in the United States. At the beginning of that period the DEMOCRAT
came by purchase under the control and management of Messrs. John S. Hofl'man
and Dr. E. Morwitz, who, under the firm name of Hoffman & Morwitz, at once in
fused new life into it and made it one of the leading and most inlluential newspapers
in the United States. When the PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRAT was established it was
located in the then centre of the German population of the city, but after the year
1848 the German element was spreading over the whole city, and besides, it became
of more importance to be located in the business centre of the city. With this view
the proprietors purchased a most eligible site on Chestnut street— the old Jones
hotel — and by extensive alterations, amounting almost to rebuilding, made it one
of the best-arranged newspaper establishments and printing houses in the country.

284 THE GREAT NEWSPAPERS.

The building is five stories high, and has a front of fifty-five feet on Chestnut street
and a depth of 245 feet to Sansom street.

From the removal of the PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRAT to its new office building,
(>12 and 614 Chestnut street, may be dated a new era for it, so rapidly were extended
its circulation and its business patronage. Mr. Hoffman leaving for Europe in 1873,
the proprietor, Dr. Morwitz, changed the name of the firm to Morwitz & Co.

The DEMOCRAT is the leading German organ iu Pennsylvania, one of the oldest
and largest eastern States, and the one which, from the beginning, was settled
and influenced by Germans, from whose settlements most of the Western States have
received and are still receiving, year by year, their solid native immigration,
whereby the circulation and business of the DEMOCRAT have been constantly, nat
urally, and largely increased, until row the circulation and influence of the PHILA
DELPHIA DEMOCRAT, in its various publications— daily, weekly, Sunday and others-
are by the great public regarded and appreciated as the largest and most important
of the German newspapers in the United States.

THE PIONEER-PRESS AND TRIBUNE

ST. PAUL A XL) MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.

THE ONLY MORNING PAPER IN MINNESOTA— THE GREAT NEWSPAPER
OF THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.

A SKETCH FOR THE HOOK OF THK CENTEVMAt NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

THE PIONEER-PRESS AND TRIBUNE BUILDING.

In no direction has the marvellous progress of the West in the last fifteen years
been more distinctly marked than in its journalism; but not even the marvellous
growth of the Chicago newspapers, which equal if they do not surpass those of New
York in all the characteristics of the first-class metropolitan newspaper, affords a
more striking illustration of the journalistic development of the West than the news
paper which has recently assumed the title at the head of this article. As its name
indicates, it is the product of the consolidation of the three old morning dailies of St.
Paul and Minneapolis. The St. Paul Pioneer, established in 1849, and whose history
dated back to the organization of the Territory of Minnesota, was consolidated in the
Spring of 1S75 with the St. Paul Press, which since 1S01 has been the leading Republi
can journal of the State. In May last the Pioneer-Press was again consolidated with
the Minneapolis Tribune, which was founded in 1865 — and these three journals had
previously swallowed up or supplanted in the course of their career some do/en
rival or antecedent journals, so fiat the PIONEER- PRESS AND TRIBUNE represents
and enlbodies the mature results of nearly all the labors, the enterprise, the capita!,
and the brains which have been devoted for the last twenty-seven years to the
building up of journalism in these two nourishing cities. The practical result of this

286 TEE GREAT NEWSPAPERS

consolidation of the three rival morning newspapers of Minnesota is to give the
PIONEER-PRESS AND TRIBUNE a bona fide daily circulation of nearly 10,000 copies.
No other daily newspaper in the Northwest, outside of Chicago, has half so large
a circulation, and it is live or six times as large as that of any other paper in Minne
sota. Nor does any other newspaper in the Northwest, outside of Chicago, enjoy
so extensive a field of circulation, or so commanding a position and so exclusive an
ascendency within that field. It is the only morning newspaper published in the
two adjacent cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, the commercial and manufacturing
centres of Minnesota and the upper Mississippi Valley, with an aggregate popula
tion of 75,000 souls, and it is the only morning newspaper published in the State of
Minnesota with a population of 650,000 s?>'.i'*. H is the only important morning jour
nal published west of Chicago and Milwaukee, from which St. Paul is separated by n
breadth of 500 miles, or north of St. Lou;-!, \\-:iii::i U 000 miles distant. Itsactualfield
of circulation embraces the whole of M:rr.i°S'»i:i, Northern Iowa, Northwestern
Wisconsin and Dakota, and within this field, wllh an aggregate population of 850,000
souls it has no competitor.

As a newspaper the PIONEER-PRESS AND TRIBUNE is every way worthy of its
great constituency. It is an eight-page paper of the size of the great Chicago and New
York dailies, and publishes daily more reading matter than any Philadelphia, Cincin
nati or Boston daily. Among the western journals the greatest of the Chicago and
the St. Louis newspapers can .alone compare in standing, influence or circulation with
the PIONEER-PRESS. But these newspapers, which overshadow and supplant all rivals
in Illinois, Central and Southern Iowa, and Eastern and Southern Wisconsin, are
published at points too remote from the great northwestern territory of the PIONEER-
PRESS to compete with it in this, its own exclusive field, where it distributes the news
of the day from twelve to thirty-six hours ahead of the Chicago dailies, and it is the
unrestricted possession of so large a field which has! permitted the building up of a
first-class newspaper like this in a region so comparatively new. The same condi
tions which have promoted the marvellous growth of the PIONEER-PRESS in the
past afford an ample guarantee that its future growth in circulation and character
will l:e commensurate with the rapid grogress of this great and fertile region, which
constitutes the wheat belt of the continent, and is now advancing more rapidly in
wealth and population than any other part of the Union.

The DAILY PIONEER-PRESS is universally taken by all classes of readers in
Minnesota and the adjacent districts of the neighboring States who take any daily
newspaper at all. The WEEKLY PIONEER-PRESS, a magnificent quarto, circulates
as universally among the intelligent rural population of Minnesota. Its weekly
edition is 14,000, and is rapidly increasing

The Pioneer-Press Company are also the publishers of the Minneapolis EVENING
TRIBUNE, the best evening paper in the State, and the only one in Minneapolis, with
a large local circulation.

The Pioneer-Press Company own one of the largest and finest structures devoted
to the newspaper and printing business in the West. It was built a few years ago
for the St. Paul Press, on the corner of Minnesota and Third streets, St. Paul. It is
50 feet front by 150 feet deep, being four stories heigh, with a mansard roof, and two-
thirds of its whole area is occupied by the newspaper, printing, binding and litho
graphic business of the Pioneer-Press Company. It is undoubtedly in all its de
]>artment3 the best equipped printing and newspaper office in the Northwest, out
side of Chicago.

THE SACRAMENTO

DAILY AND SEMI-WEEKLY RECORD-UNION,

A LEADING CALIFORNIA NEWSPAPER.

A SKETCH FOK THE BOOK OF THE CKXTEXXIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

Sacramento is the capital of the State of California, centrally located, and the
chief city of the interior of the State. The only morning paper published at the
capital of the State is the Sacramento RECOUD-UNION. Its history is co-equal with
that of the State, and closely interwoven with the historical, social and political pro
gress of California. No paper on the Pacific Coast is more widely known, or enjoys
a more general circulation. The Sacramento DAILY AND WEEKLY UNION was
established in the year 1851. Its progress was one unprecedented in newspaper annals,
and during a quarter of a century it justly gained the reputation of being the best
newspaper on the Western slope. Its influence was commensurate with its great
reputation, and it was the acknowledged leader of independent thought, progress
and all material movements looking to the advancement of the State, the upholding
of purity in politics and social and business life, and as the most thorough and relia
ble of newspapers. It was the tocsin for years of all popular movements, the un-
llinching friend of sobriety, permanency and real merits in all those early years
when the society of the Pacific Coast was receiving the impress which should fix its
future standing. Its proprietors grew gray in the service, and in 1875 they retired
from its management, and it became consolidated with the Sacramento Daily and
Semi- Weekly Record. The Record was established in facto in the year 1867. It had
for its business rival tiie Union, it moved in the same circle, and sought the same
patronage. From the outset it was a prosperous paper. Its conduct was that o;
energy, refinement and independence. It grew in popular favor day by day and
finally stood side by side with its competitor in rank, standing and extended influence.
In the height of its career, enjoying an enviable reputation, and recognized as an
honor to the State, it was consolidated with the Union, and in February, 1875, the
RECORD-UNION was issued. Since that date the current of these two papers^ flowing
in the same channel, has been one of force, independence and broad influence more
than equal to that of any newspaper on the Pacific slope. Two marked features dis
tinguish the RECORD-UNION, a total absence of sensationalism, in place of which is
a perfect news reliability and energetic spirit; and second, an elevated tone not
equalled in the history of journalism. Its departments are seven in number: Edi
torial, News, Literary, Agricultural, Commercial, Statistical and Local.

In the Editorial Department the RECORD-UNION has no compeer west of the
Mississippi for vigor, scholarly ability, clearness of perceptions, nicity of diction
or independence and originality of thought. In its News Department its facilities
arc those afforded by the Associated Press dipsatchcs, a thorough private system of
coast telegraphic news gathering, an extended and able corps of local correspond
ents and special reporters, and a systematic departmentixed arrangement of select
ed news from an unlimited exchange with the papers of the world. Its Agricultural
Department leads all efforts of this kind in newspapers in the United States, and u,
under the management of a pioneer-experienced and thorough agriculturist. Its
Literary Department is ably managed and conducted with an eye-single to present
ing the choicest and most varied selections from American, English, German ancr
French literature, and a total exclusion — as, indeed, is done in all the departments —
of all matter which can offend the most refined taste, or shock the keenest sensibil
ity. Its Commercial Department is prompt and constantly up to the business stand
ard of the Coast. . Its Local Department is controlled in the interest of purely local

288 THE GREAT :SEW>> PAPERS

news, and is acknowledged to be most thorough, correct and dignified of the Coast.
The Statistical Department is a marked feature of the paper, and presents constantly
all progressive results of State industries and growth, culminating on New Years'
day of each year in a mammoth holiday statistical sheet combined with the usual
issue of the paper, which on that occasion is marked by enlargement and annual
review in all the departments upon topics congenial to them. /

In addition, the RECORD-UNION has a large corps of regular Eastern, English
German and home correspondents, whose writings partake of the same free, ener->
getic, independent and scholarly character which characterizes the entire paper.

The RECORD-UNION on the Pacific Coast and throughout the Union is acknowl
edged as the leader in journalistic thought and expression in California. It is thor
oughly independent in tone, bound to no party, the organ of no sect or interest, and
the tried champion of Republican institutions. Its tendencies are strongly those
which are reflected in the principles of the National Republican party, and its con
stant voice is for the integrity of the government, the perpetuation of free institu
tions, purity in all govermental branches, and honesty in all things. It enjoys the
largest and most extended circulation, daily, of any interior paper, and its semi-
weekly edition surpases in extended circulation that of any journal circulating west
of the Mississippi.

Its building is one of the most prominent in the capital city, and all its interior
arrangements are those usual to a first-class newspaper. The RECORD-UNION as an
advertising medium for the Pacific Coast, attests its value by the constantly-crowded
condition of the columns set apart for that purpose, and which are availed of with'
avidity by the business men of the Coast and the great East.

In conclusion, the paper has no equal on the Pacific slope, has no compeer there
in influence, intelligence and energy, and no rival in the esteem of the people.

It is published by the Sacramento Publishing Company, of which William H.
Mills is genera land sole manager. It is issued each morning, except Sunday, and
the semi- weekly appears on Wednesdays and Saturdays of each week.

THE PRESBYTER! .^PHILADELPHIA.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF Till: CENTENNIAL, NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION,

The PRESBYTERIAN was established as a weekly journal in the year 1831, and
has long been regarded one of the best religious family papers in the country.
Its corps of correspondents embrace able writers in all parts of the world. Its
editorial columns are presided over l>y Rev. M. B. Grier, D. D., and Rev. J. A.
Mutchmore, D. D. It is an excellent advertising medium, reaching a most sub
stantial and intelligent class of people. The office of publication is at 1512
Chestnut street, Philadelphia.

THE CO-OPERATIVE NEWSPAPERS.

A SKETCH FOR THE BOOK OF THE CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION.

A most remarkable peculiarity of American journalism is the combina
tion or system of so-called " Co-operative Newspapers," a system originated
about fourteen years ago, and which has had a wonderful growth, until it now
embraces over 2,000 of the weekly journals of the United States— and the num
ber is still increasing.

Comparatively few people are aware of the existence of this important ele
ment of journalism. Unless the reader is connected with the press or is a gen
eral advertiser, he probably is unacquainted with the meaning of the term " Co
operative Newspaper.'' If, during a visit to the Newspaper Pavilion, you should
take up for perusal some newspaper published, for instance, in one of the inte
rior towns of New York, and should afterwards take up a newspaper published
in some town in Pennsylvania, you might be very much surprised to find that
there was apparently a striking coincidence in the articles appearing in the two
papers. 1:~ would lead you to compare them. You would notice that there were
two pieces of poetry in the first column of one of the papers, and on turning to
the other paper you would observe the same two poems in the same corner of
that paper. Following the poetry in one paper there would be a story occupying
several columns; you look into the other paper and find the same story there.
You think it a vrery strange coincidence that two editors, one hundred miles
apart, should have made the same selections to that extent the same week, and
that the articles should be placed in the same position in both papers. You
compare the papers further, and notice a summary of the news of the week.
Both papers have the same summary, word for word. Then the advertisements
are examined and found to be precisely alike in both papers and placed in the
same order. A further examination reveals the fact that the outside pages ot
both papers are exactly alike throughout, with the exception of the heading
which gives the name of the papers. Your curiosity is aroused, and you deter
mine to solve the mystery. If you inquire of one of the attendants at the Pa
vilion you will obtain the information sought for. You will be informed that
the two papers were both printed at an establishment in New York city, which
also prints over 300 other newspapers. It prints but one side of the sheet, how
ever, the matter selected for this purpose consisting of general news, literature,
poetry, agricultural and other subjects of general interest. The other side ot
the sheet is printed subsequently at the office of publication, and is filled with
editorials, and local news and advertisements. The papers printed at the New
York establishment are not all exactly alike, however, nor of the same size.
Nine different sizes of folio and quarto sheets are printed, and when two or
more papers are supplied which are published in the tame or near-by counties,
the matter furnished is entirely different. Similar establishments exist in
Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Memphis, St. Paul, and other cities, and alto
gether they save to the country press over $2,000,000 annually. There is also a
further great saving to advertisers. Formerly, if a general advertiser wished to
insert an advertisement in these 2,000 papers, the expense of correspondence
and the time involved in making contracts was necessarily very great. This
time and expense are saved to the advertiser under the co-operative method,
and he also secures a lower rate for the advertising than he could obtain from
the papers direct, for the reason that an advertisement does not require to be
set up 2,000 times, or once for each paper, but only forty times, and it frequently
happens that the price charged for an advertisement is less than the actual cost
of setting up the type, if it were set up once for each newspaper. The leading
advertisers of the country patronize these lists very extensively, and it is not

29U THE CO-OPERATIVE NEWSPAPERS.

uncommon for the annual bills of an advertiser to amount to from $10,000 to
$20,000, and sometimes to even $30,000 to $40,000. The Chicago Daily Times ol
March 11, 1876, thus alludes to the American Newspaper Union, which includes
1,200 of the co-operative papers:

Within the past twelve j-ears there has beenavastimprovementmadei.il
the country newspaper— particularly in respect to the care in which all the news
of the day is gathered and edited, and the literary ability displayed in its col
umns, which relieves the provincial press from the few objections that have
been heretofore urged against it, and has accorded to it higher dignity, extended
its influence, and greatly augmented its power for good. The typographical
appearance of the country journal of to-day is perfect; the display and classifi
cation of its advertisements tasty; the quality of the paper used and the print
ing far superior to that of its city contemporaries.

This has been chiefly due to the American Newspaper Union, which practically
shapes the literary tone of some l,2t)0 different newspapers scattered through
the Eastern, Middle, Western, and Southwestern States; collates their foreign
and national news, selects their miscellany from the best sources, and infuses a
vigor into their columns such as they never knew before. The work of the
American Newspaper Union is as curious and interesting as it is valuable. We
doubt if many of our city readers understand the peculiar field in journalism
that it occupies, and we therefore devote a little space to the subject for the
purpose of conveying the information.

Tae idea 0:1 which the Union is foun.de :1 originated with Mr. A. J. Aikens
some twelve j-ears ago. He was then engaged in the publishing business at
Milwaukee, and being a practical printer and a thorough business man, the
thought occurred to him that a number of country papers might co-operate and
have the inside, i. e., the news and literary portion of their sheets, printed atone
general city office, where th?. opportunity for having the work well done is
superior to that enjoyed by most country newspaper offices. The idea was put
into practical operation at the office of Cramer, Aikens & Cramer, proprietors ot
the Evenimj Wisconsin, M.lwaukee, and it worked so admirably as to attract the
attention of newspaper men all over the country, and met with universal
approval.

The cost of advertising in these lists is ridiculously cheap. One cent per line
in each paper covers the expense. We are not aware of any kind of newspaper
advertising, good, bad, or indifferent, that will compare in point of cheapness
with this. But when we take into consideration the character of the papers, the
class of intelligent readers whom they reach, their power and influence, their
general diffusion over the whole country, and the manner in which the adver
tisement is printed, it must be admitted that the American Newspaper Union
has reached the desideratum long sought for by advertisers, viz. : '• The largest
amount of benefit for the least possible sum of money."

The economy of advertising in these lists is apparent for another reason, viz. :
If the advertiser desires to use a cut in his advertisement, but one cut is neces
sary for the whole 1,200 papers. If he were to advertise direct with 1,200 differ
ent papers it would require an equal number of cuts, and the cost for the cuts
and for postage would equal or exceed the cost of the advertising, as many ad
vertisers have found to their sorrow heretofore. And they found, too, to their
disgust, that their advertisements were not always inserted as directed, being
frequently left out and often disfigured by the dropping out of type. With the
Union the advertiser is relieved of all trouble, all expense for extra cuts and
postage ; the advertisement is neatly set up and stereotyped, and the advertiser
may rely on its going in the whole edition of 1,200, for if the officers of the Union
were disposed to leave it out of a part of their edition, it would cost them more
than to print it.

The distribution of the papers is as follows :

New England 78 Indiana 81 Iowa 83

New York 101 Illinois 117 Nebraska 15

New Jersey 27 Michigan 86 Missouri 17

Pennsylvania 65 Wisconsin 98 Georgia 10

WHAT IS AN ADVERTISING AGENCY?

A gentleman lately stepped into the office of the New York Times for"
purpose of inserting a notice of '; Situation Wanted" for a cook, who hud lived
in his family and for whom he was desirous of obtaining a place before closing
up housekeeping, as he then contemplated. The girl had, at a former period,
lived in Brooklyn, and, having friends there, it was thought best to insert the
advertisement in the Brooklyn Eagle. Intending to give the matter his per
sonal attention, he inquired the location, in Brooklyn, of the office of the Eagle.
He was informed that if he was going there for the purpose of causing this
advertisement to appear in that paper, he could save himself the trouble by
leaving the order in the advertising agency in the Times building, up stairs.

The gentleman thereupon came to the agency with the order— six lines, one
insertion— for which he paid sixty cents, being informed that that was the
amount required according to the rates of the Brooklyn paper. Never having
heard of an advertising agency before, the advertiser wished to know how
much additional he must pay for being saved the journey, ferry fares and time.
In answer to this he was informed that, upon making settlement with the Eagle,
the sum of twelve cents would be allowed to the agency as a commission or
payment for the service rendered in taking and forwarding the order.

This incident conveys nearly all that can be told to explain the uses of a
Newspaper Advertising Agency. Had the notice been intended for a San
Francisco paper, for one in Montreal, New Orleans, or any of the New York
city journals, it would have been received on the same terms. The Advertising
Agency is a convenience; it is nothing more.

The advertising agent, from the knowledge gained by experience, becomes
an expert. He learns from papers the lowest prices which they say they will
accept for advertisements. He learns from advertisers the rebates and favors
which they have obtained. He knows the strong points and the weak points
of the publishers; what papers will take advertisements low and what class of
advertisements they will take lowest.

To nine persons in every ten the words Newspaper Advertising Agency
convey no idea. They never heard of such a thing, or, if they have, wondered

292 WHAT IS AN ADVERTISING AGENCY?

what it was ail about. Of the forty millions of people in the United States net
more than one in five hundred pays a penny in a year for an advertisement in
a newspaper. Of those who do, barely one in ten advertises beyond his own
immediate neighborhood, and consequently has no occasion to consult or ad
vise with any agent or middle man.

The above calculations give 10,000 persons, distributed throughout the Union,
but mainly in the larger cities, who advertise or desire to advertise in papers
issued at a distance from their homes, about the character, appearance, value,
circulation and prices of which they have no reliable information. An Adver
tising Agency is the source from which such information may be obtained.

Inasmuch as no more than one person in five thousand has any personal in
terest in them, and that the existence of such institutions dates back hardly
forty years, no cause exists for wonder that, to the general public, their uses
are not well known.

To mai?y persons who have some knoweledge of Advertising Agencies, the
scope of their business is still unknown, We write with a hope of making the
matter better understood and to answer some of the questions which are so fre
quently propounded by interested inquirers.

A Newspaper Advertising Agency doing a general business is an institution
where are received and kept on file copies of newspapers issued in various parts
of the country, which are mailed to the agency, that they may be there accessi
ble to persons who desire to use their advertising columns. Schedules or tables
of rate?, and special information about the cost of advertising in each separate
paper are also a necessary part of the paraphernalia of the agency.

Some Agencies make a speciality of a certain class of publications, as for
instance: in New York one takes advertising for magazines, another for papers
printed in the German language, several confine their operations almost ex
clusively to publications issued in the city, while in various parts of the
country are those who make a leading specialty of the religious press; others,
again, represent only country papers, while a few act for every class, shade,
and denomination of the entire press of the country.

As the files of papers which are found at the agency are furnished by pub
lishers gratuitously, they are taken as establishing the authority of the agency
to represent such as are regularly received, and for which a schedule of adver
tising rates has been furnished.

The cost of the yearly subscription upon his publication is a tax which the
publisher pays for the support of the agency. As the payment of this tax is
voluntary, the regular receipt of the paper is, with reason, taken to be the suf
ficient authorization of the agency to represent it. By this rule ma^y be tested
the comparative hold possessed by thv various establishments of this kind upon
the confidence and esteem of newspaper publishers.

WHO ARE THE PATRONS OF ADVERTISING AGENCIES ?

Few persons have any conception of the amount of money paid for news
paper advertising. The number of papers printed in the various States
exceeds eight thousand; while the advertising patronage of a single New York
daily is said to exceed $750,000 per annum I To insert a single column on the last
page of the principal illustrated weekly costs no less than $720 a week— $4 a
lint! If every paper averages an annual receipt of $1,000 per annum from
advertisements, we have $8,000,000 in the aggregate; while, if every paper
printed received the magnificent patronage of the daily above referred to, it
would amount to sufficient to pay the national debt in four months !

Only advertisers in the largest cities have occasion to apply to an agency
concerning advertising in their own vicinity. The principal patrons of the
Advertising Agency are those who wish to reach distant points. Of these, first
in importance are the patent medicine men; next comes that class whose
announcements commences with the words, " Agents Wanted,-" which includes
dealers in subscription books, sewing machines, patent rights, and the thousand
and one articles which may be sold by hawkers or pedlers; then come the Bond
advertisements, "For Investment," Land Companies, "All Wanting Farms,"
Gift 'Concerts, Newspaper Prospectuses, Business Cards, &c., &c. Advertise-

WHAT IS AN ADVERTISING AGENCY? 293

ments of "Information Wanted," are also among those most frequently brought
to the agency, bat as they go into few papers, and for no more th;in one or two
issues, their cost is inconsiderable.

Several individual advertisers, known to the writer, are in the habit of
inves'.ing yearly upward of $100,000 per annum, but their number will not exceed
ten. Perhaps fifty or more spend as much as $20,000; while those who pay sums
ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 may be counted by hundreds. The amounts ex
pended by those remaining, to make up the tun thousand who send advertise
ments beyond their immediate neighborhood, range from one dollar upward,
according as hope, caprice, their desiro to experiment, or their means of paying
may dictate.

WHAT THE ADVEUTISEK GAINS BY EMPLOYING THE AGENCY.

" What do I gain by going to the Advertising A-gency in preference to appeal
ing to the paper direct?" is the question most frequently propounded by the
novice in advertising. To this the true answer can only be, Convenience and
the benefit of experience.

The old advertiser, of undoubted responsibility, who knows what he it
about, knows the value of papers, their prices; knows how to set up his adver
tisement to secure the best display in the smallest space, and how to order its
insertion that the publisher will not extract a justification for an extra or in-
•ci'eased charge, has nothing to gain by transacting his business through an
agency except the convenience of making one transaction, verifying one
account at one place, at one time, and paying one bill instead of many. Yes
the old advertiser deals mainly through agencies for this reason, and the
saving of time, stationery and postage.

It is not fair to suppose that the reputable agent will underbid his principal ;
his duty doe3 not lie in that direction. It is his province to arrange that his adver
tiser shall not pay for more space than he requires , that he get a good position
without an unnecessary extra charge. The advertiser who deals through a re
putable agency knows beforehand that the cost is not to exceed a given sum.
If more must be paid the matter is submitted for his reconsideration. How
many advertisers have received from publishers bills amounting to dollars
when they expected to pay dimes only — to hundreds of dollars when they sup
posed tens would be all that would be required ? How manj^ have ordered the
insertion of cards by word of mouth, believing that advertising was cheap, and
learned wlien too late how erroneous was any such supposition ?

It is a notorious fact that as soon as advertisers begin to do business through
agencies their bills decrease in individual papers, and the amount saved is
devoted to extending the announcement in other journals, procuring thereby a
wider circulation. It is in recognition of this fact that some publishers decline
allowing any commission to an agency on advertisements from those who have
previously dealt with the paper direct. So thoroughly is it understood that no
advertiser now deals direct who understands his interests, pays his advertising
bills, and makes them pay him, that it is often considered an evidence of irre
sponsibility or incapacity for an advertiser to apply direct for terms of adver
tising. There are exceptions to this rule among the largest and oldest adver
tisers, who commenced business before the agency system was perfected; but
it requires good credit and a well-known name to bring specific answers from
publishers to applications for rates or even orders for insertion, as many an
advertiser has found out to his chagrin, although classed in the mercantile
books as of first-rate standing.

As the advertising agent is paid for his services, and for assuming to become
responsible to the publisher for the payment of all bills for advertising ordered
through the agency, it becomes common for the advertisers to demand the same
allowance on their own business when they deal direct. To this demand
publishers who are in the habit of sustaining their rates rarely respond, but
inasmuch as the making of the request supported by such questions as, " Isn't
my money as good as that of the agent's/' etc , etc., expose the advertiser to the
imputation of being deficient in sense or moral rectitude, or that he believes the
publisher to be so, the latter sometimes forgets himself and the duty he owes

294 WHAT IS AN ADVERTISING AGENCY?

his agent, and makes a reduction equivalent to the agent's commission, as the
easiest way of satisfying the advertiser and putting an end to further talk or
correspondence. The advertiser not infrequently finds, by after experience,
that the agent is able to procure for him even a greater reduction, and at the
same time retain his own commission intact.

A moment's careful consideration will convince an advertiser of good sense
that although a publisher would prefer the order direct, when sure of his pay,
for the sake of saving the reduction taken by the agency for a commission, yet
if the reduction must be made in one shape or another, leaving him nothing to
gain, he will prefer to give it to the agent, to whom it can be allowed without
seeming to break down his rates or violating his self-respect.

The advantages of the Newspaper Advertising Agency to the advertiser then
are these : — Experience without cost; one contract instead of many; guarded
against unnecessary extra charges, and knowing in advance the price, beyond
which an order will not be carried without his full knowledge and consent.

Of those advertisers who believe that they can obtain the same net terms
direct as would be accorded to the agency, we ask, is it reasonable that publish
ers should extend as good rates to an advertiser who expends $5,000 a year as to
an agent who forwards $50,000 a month ? If any one is to be pleased or catered to,
is it not, under the circumstances, more likely to be the agent? Would eight
thousand publishers contribute free their periodicals from year to year, the
subscriptions upon which, taking dailies, weeklies, and all, amounts to more
than $20,000 per annum, and then set about undermining the institution for
the support of which they have paid so much? Is such a supposition reasonable?
The truth is that between the best class of agencies and the publishers there is
no competition. On any considerable order, the agent, by taking advantage
of every point in the advertiser's favor, is altvays below the aggregate price
obtained by application to publishers.

Before entrusting his work to an agency an advertiser should first satisfy
himself of its ability to secure for him the best advantages, after which his busi
ness should be placed in the hands of the agent selected, and kept there as long
as he is faithfully served. When confidence is no longer had in the agent, let
the advertiser resort to no half-way measure, but withdraw his patronage
altogether.

THE BEST ADVERTISING AGENCY.

The best advertising agency is one that secures so much business from a
good class of advertisers as to enable it to command from the greatest number
of publishers the most favorable rates ever accorded.

The American Newspaper Advertising Agency of Geo. P. Rowell & Co., No.
41 Park Row, New York, is the principal one in the United States, and by far the
most complete establishment of the kind in the world, for in no other country
are these institutions conducted with anything like the system which obtains
here. Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co. established their agency in 1865, and in 1870
consolidated with and succeeded to the business of the advertising agency con
ducted till that time, since 1840, by Mr. John Hooper, who was the first adver
tising agent who did business in the city of New York.

The Advertising Agency of Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co. controls by far the
largest amount of advertising patronage ever secured by any institution of the
kind. From their office is forwarded an amount not short of that emanating
from all the other agencies in the United States combined. They receive and
have on file all newspapers published in the United States and Canadas, with
scarcely an exception of importance. They receive the best terms and largest
reductions allowed to any advertising agency.

They are the source from which all other advertising agencies, without any
exception, derive their information about newspapers. Let an advertiser step
into any agency and ask the name of the publisher of a paper at any distant
point; let him ask how many papers are issued in such and such a city, hew
many are daily, how many weekly, what is the politics, character, or circulation.
To any or all of these questions he will receive no reply until a reference has
been made to Geo. P. Rowell & Go's Annual Newspaper Directory . No account
is kept in any other agency of the new papers which are started, now averaging

five every da}- ; or of the old ones, which die or change hands. For all informa
tion of this kind all the agencies depend upon Geo. P. Rowell & Co's Weekly
NE\vsi'Ai'i<:R REPORTER.

Besides tho advantage of their position at the head of their business, they
have special contracts which give them an unequaled advantage in more than
two thousand of the newspapers of the country.

WHAT IS DONE WITH THE NEWSPAPERS ?

Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co. receive more than one hundred and forty thou
sand newspapers every three months, or more than seventeen hundred and fifty
every day. On occasions in the winter, when the snows interfere with the regu
lar running of the trains, as soon as the blockade is removed it not infrequently
happens that as many as twenty-five bushels will come in of a single morning,
counting possibly as many as ten thousand papers in one mail delivery.

advertisements ordered from the Agency are being
inserted according to specifications of contract.

The country is divided into sections and appor

the city of New York ; another checks those in States

Every paper in which an advertisement is running is opened out and the

If a paper fails to come to hand, the checking book reveals the fact, and it is
sent for. It may not be of much importance, but the clerk in charge is instructed
not to consider that, but to GET THE PAPER and keep files complete.

If an advertisement is materially wrong, is out of position, has important
typographical errors, or for any reason is not what the advertiser is entitled to
expect, notice is dispatched to the publisher at once, and the error is made good
by another insertion or a reduction from the bill.
This system is carried to great perfection.

The checking books are kept permanently for inspection by advertisers.
The papei'S themselves are kept three months from date of issue, after that time
the Agency does not guarantee to exhibit them.

After the examination and mai'k.
ing, the paper is again folded, and
receives a heavy mark on its upper
right hand corner to indicate that it
has passed through the requisite ex
amination, and is ready to be placed
upon file. It is then taken and placed
in the space accorded to it. Every
weekly paper is assigned a pigeon
hole, 8 inches by 10 1-2, and one foot
deep, while to a daily is accorded
three such. These spaces are all des
ignated by a label, having printed
upon it the name of the paper to
which the space is accorded.

to form galleries, so as to permit of

rate gallery.

A stranger is thus enabled to
search out the depository for his own
local paper, or any other that he may
desire to see, with as much readiness
as he finds a word in a dictionary or
a name in a directory'

These galleries being arranged one
story above another and as compactly
pi as possible, occupying portions of the
same rooms where all the work upon
the papers is performed, leave noth
ing to be desired in the way of con
venience.

An advertiser whose rule it is to
pay no bills until he sees nil the papers
can here be accommodated, and a
business amounting to $20,000 per an
num in cheap country papers can be
looked after (every copy of every
papcr examined) by the advertiser,
or his representative, who will devote
three days' time to the examination
four times a year.

An important use of having com
plete files of papers so conveniently
arranged consists in being able to
produce for large advertisers samp
les of all the papers in which they
wish to insert their announcements,
that they may see for themselves
what each paper looks like, and
judge what style of advertising will
be most effective in each.

When the papers have accumulated until their alloted spaces assume a

crowded appearance, then comes the
final solution of the problem of

all away, and in another month

\s a display of sample copies of eight thousand newspapers, the Centennial
Exhibition in the Newspaper Pavilion at Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, attracts
well-merited attention. It is substantially a reproduction of Goo. P.Rowell & Co's
Advertising Agency in the city of New York, except that as the latter has been
established many years, and conducted upon a carefully-arranged system, it is
more complete in its arrangements than would be possible to make such an
exhibition elsewhere in a few weeks or months.

Centennial Newspaper Exhibition.
HISTORICAL SOCIETIES AM PUBLIC LIBRARIES.

At the final closing of the Exhibition, in November, it will be comparatively easy to
make up sets of same copies, to be distributed among prominent Historical Societies and
Public Libraries. A single copy of every American newspaper will make a package weigh
ing nearly half a ton, aiid the collection by correspondence with the offices would involve
interminable delays and many hundred dollars of expense. The postage stamps for an
application would' cost two hundred and forty dollars.

Messrs. GEO. P. BOWELL <fc Co. have supplied such sets in two or three instances, and
not long since were applied to for one for the Library of the Vatican at Eome.

GKO. P. EOWELL:

MY DEAR SIR — Your proposed collection of |
American journals is a measure that I feel
highly gratified you have undertaken, as no
oiie else (in my 'opinion; could do it so well
and completely as you will. Having been a
Journalist mvself, and being at present one of
tho Centennial Commissioners from this State,
I had resolved to attempt a complete collec
tion of our Minnesota newspapers for the Ex
position ; but, as you have undertaken it, I
shall gladly give it into your hands.

It will be a department of the great Exhibi
tion far more valuable and instructive than
-will appear at first glance. Journalism plays
so important a part now in our national life
and progress, that to omit it from our Amer
ican Exhibition would be a defect that woidd
be noticeable. European visitors must be won
derfully struck with the display you design
making. Indeed, but few of our own people,
perhaps, fully and completely recognize what
an estate A'merican newspaperdom has be
come ! It will astonish even ourselves.

Such collections as you will make have a
permanent value. This society is in posses
sion of nearly 600 bound volumes of Minnesota

rspapers'being quite comp
ic ot a paper in Minnesc

lete from the first

Lave also sets of New England and other pa
pers reaching from 1665, almost unbroken,

and carefully preserve for binding, nearly one
hundred papers. For historical reference
their value is incalculable. * * *
Yours truly.

MR. GEO. P. ROWKLL :

DEAR SIR — There can be no doubt, among
persons competent to judge, of the usefulness
of such an exhibition of American newspa
pers as that which you propose to make at
Philadelphia. We 'should be very glad, in
deed, to have the collection of specimen
copies when you shall be making a final dis
position of your files, and would carefully pre
serve them. I hope you will meet with every
possible encouragement in your enterprise, for
a complete or nearly complete display would
iiot only be exceedingly curious and interest
ing, but would be very'valuable for historical
reference, beside being an exhaustless source
of information about newspapers in this coun
try.

I will most cheerfully render any aid in my
power.

Very sincerely yours,

GEO. P. POWELL, Esq.:

DEAR SIR— * * * * Not a
word need be said regarding the value of the
public press. No investigation of a historical
subject can be successful without its aid — all
historical society libraries — nay, all public
libraries, are glad to secure a file of any vil
lage paper even. The value and influence of
the newspaper press is so marked in this
country, that it is very desirable that pains
should be taken to secure full exhibition of it
at the Centennial. We should be glad of a
collection of specimen copies.
Ilespectfully. etc.,

AMERICAN

Newspaper Reporter

AND PRINTERS' GAZETTE.

PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

Has a considerable subscription list among printers. Goes weekly to more
than 6,000 newspaper offices. Receives a magnificent advertising pat
ronage from dealers in printing materials.

Contains weekly reports of the establishment of new newspapers (now aver
aging six daily, or thirty-six every week). Suspensions, consolidations,
enlargements, and improvements.

Is relied upon by advertising agencies and all others whose business interests
require them to keep informed upon newspaper changes.

Advertisers who wish to make proposals to publishers — offering some book
or other article in exchange for advertising— do well to make a trial of
its advertising columns.

Those wishing to embark in journalism, either by the purchase of an estab
lished paper, or the selection of a location, will come in direct commu
nication, through the REPORTER, with retiring publishers or commun
ities eager to have a home paper in their midst.

Publishers retiring from active business find no medium equal to the RE
PORTER in assisting them to find a purchaser for their offices and
printing material.

Every printer looks to it for advertisements of " Bargains," and not a copy
is sent out that does not contain something choice in that line.

Through its columns manufacturers of new machinery for printers can have
a full descriptive article placed in every newspaper office in the country
at a reasonable price.

Offers an opportunity to the general advertiser who wishes to barter goods
for advertising space. He can make his proposal to publishers through
its columns. >

AMERICAN

Newspaper Directory,

EDITION FOR 1876,

C'OXTAIXS :

A complete list of Newspapers and other Periodicals in
the United States, Territories, and Dominion of Canada,
arranged alphabetically by towns, giving name, days of
issue, politics or general character, form, size, subscrip
tion price per year, date of establishment, editors' and
publishers' names, and circulation.

ALSO THE FOLLOWING CLASSIFIED LISTS :

Periodicals publishing over 5,000 copies each issue j Religious Newspapers
and Periodicals; Newspapers and Periodicals devoted to Agriculture, Horti
culture, and Stock liaising ; Medicine and Surgery ; Educational Institutions
or devoted to Educational Matters; Amusement and Instruction of children;
Freemasonry, Cddfellowship, Temperance, and Knights of Pythias; Com
merce and Finance, Insurance, Eeal Estate, Science and Mechanics, Law,
Printers and Publishers, Sporting, Music, Fashions, and Woman's Suffrage ;
also, Newspapers and Periodicals printed wholly or in part in the German,
French, Scandinavian, Spanish, Hollandish, Italian, Welsh, Bohemian, Por
tuguese, Polish and Hebrew languages.

The object of the AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is not very different from that of the
well-known mercantile agencies which exist in all our leading cities. The latter keep their sub
scribers informed of the character, habits, reputation, business ability, and financial strength of
persons with whom they are likely to have business transactions, enabling them thereby to so
regulate those transactions as to secure probably profitable dealings, or to avoid such as will be
likely to result in ultimate annoyance or loss.

The DIRECTORY conveys the best obtainable information concerning the character and value
of newspapers. Its patrons are the men who expend money in advertising la. large and important
class), and it is from them that the publishers of the DIRECTORY, in their capacity of Advertising
Agents, derive their profit and support.

As the most important portion of the information supplied by a mercantile agency consists
of a report of the financial strength of the person about whom information is asked, so is the
circulation of a newspaper generally considered the point upon which information will be of most
value to the advertiser.

The greatest possible care is taken to make the DIRECTORY reports correct. Every publisher
is applied to very systematically. All information is taken in a form which excludes any but
definite statements which cannot be misunderstood ; while every effort is made to protect honest
publishers against such as would resort to lying or perjured reports to gain an unfair advantage.

<§•

Cor. 3d $ Chestnut Sts., St. J^ouis, Jfio.,

Give special attention to the insertion of Notices in the Local

and Advertising Columns of the Papers in the Mississippi

Valley and South-West, and act as agents for the

Leading Papers in all parts of the - United

States and Canadas,

It is a most natural result, in a country of such magnificent
distances as ours, that the leading inland metropolis should have a
Newspaper Advertising Agency that enjoys the* confidence both of
publishers and advertisers. To establish such an one, the only re
quisites were to associate men of established financial responsibility
and thorough knowledge of the business. Such a combination at
once commands the respect of advertisers and secures for them,
through the agency, the publishers' most favorable terms. Taking
this view of the matter (which is a most natural one), it is not sur
prising that the Agency of ROWELL & CHESMAN has secured a liberal
patronage from the best advertisers at home and in other parts of
the country, and built up a prosperous business when advertising
generally has been depressed.

Located at the trade center of the country it seeks specially to
represent, this agency has the benefit of quick communication with
publishers, which enables it to secure prompt insertion to orders,
and to correct any errors that may occur, much sooner than would be
possible for an agency at a distance.

It is the earnest effort of this agency to serve its patrons in a
prompt and intelligent manner, and all who seek patronage through
newspaper advertising are invited to give it a trial.
