N ° .18 1 406,.] LONDON, FRIDAY E k r a Ga S IF the postage is paid per quarter in advance, at the Post-office, where the paper is delivered. CHAIRMAtt—YOU do not report in your papers the proceedings of Congress in the way in which they report here the proceedings in Parliament P—No, except in the Washington journals, in which they report them very fully—l think quite as fully as they are reported here. We have a telegraphic report occasionally of a speech by some distinguished statesman, such as Mr. Clay or Mr. Calhoun, or any of the leading men ; they are reported fully ; but the mass of the speeclivs are not, except that they are sketched in a telegraphic report, occupying about two columns a day, but stretching sometimes to four or five. Mr. EwenT—L . .Your newspaper press is of a mire local character than the press in this country, is it not?--It is, I presume, more local than th 3 London journals, because its circulation is more, circum scribed by the fsot that the local journals are so abundant. CHAIRMAN—You go to considerable expense in ob taining news for your papers from various parts of the world, do , not you ?—Yes ; but mainly it is by telegraphing from different parts of the country. The leading journals have correspondents; but the great item of expenie is telegraphing, and sending off boats sometimes ; when steam ships do not touch at Halifax we sometimes send off boats to intercept them. You have correspondents in different places, who telegraph up to you any occurrence that may be in teresting ?—Yes, all over the country ; a net work. You employ those correspodents to pay constant attention to such things ?—Yes ; but telegraphing is done mainly by an association, called the Associated Press of New York. Do you'complain of piracy in the United States; for instance, of one publisher who has not himself been at the expense of obtaining news, copying im mediately from another ?—lt is sometimes talked of for effect's sake ; yet, on the whole, I would rather that those who•do not take it should copy than not. We have six , or seven journals in the city, which form a combination, and spend, perhaps, 100,000 dol lars a year in telegraphing; and the evening journals all copy from• us, and we rather like it. Save you any protection, in the nature of copy right, to your news ?—Not the least; the moment it is out anybody can take it, and they do take it and issue it. There is no precaution at all taken against piracy ? —No; we only take this precaution ; we have, for instance, a very important piece of inforniation, which has cost us 1,000 dollars. We will suppose that two journals take charge of the foreign news, end two journals take charge of another part of the news; and the journals having charge of it, when they send the news round to the others, say, " This is not to be issued till four [or five] o'clock ;" and no journal of the combination will let a copy go out of the office tilt the hour named; it is in the hands of the carriers, but it is not allowed to go out till the hour named, and then nobody can get it. Supposing it were something of great interest, there would be a continued demand for your paper if you were the only one who could communicate it; and, for a given period, that demand would continue, and you would keep striking off your copies to supply it. Is there nothing to entitle you, having incurred the first expense of obtaining that news, to issue it for any period ?—Not for a moment; anybody may print it; but the public are apt to take the paper which has the first news. They give the preference to the parties who have obtainedthe news first, and in practice piracy does not inflict injury upon you ?—I would choose that they should print it rather than not ; they cannot sell as we could. The fact that certain journals have the earliest news soon becomes notorious, and almost every man wants his newspaper with his breakfast, delivered between the hours of five and half past seven. They take the morning papers to read with their breakfast, and those who take the news after we issue it cannot have it in time to deliver it to a very large number in a suitable morning season, and we regard it as of no consequence. Mr. EWART—Does the interest of the intelligence evaporate so soon ?—Not that ; but a subscriber must have the paper that gives him his news in the morning before be goes to his work. You retard the publication of news sometimes ? Yeq, when we have important intelligence. Is not that an inconvenience to the public P—We get them out in our regular way, but we do not let a copy go out of the hands of our confidential agents till the hour, say of five o'clock in the morning. CHAIRMAN—At what rate can you print the New York Tribune i—Our press will work but 10,000 an hour ; there is tone faster, an eight cylinder, which will work 20,000 they say ; I call it 18,000. Mr. COBDEN—Do you believe there is a press at work in New York which will print 18,000 copies an hour ?—Yes ; I have seen it at work, and it will throw off as fast as men can feed sheets upon it. Have you seen the press that is used fur the Times? —Yes. Do you consider that the press at New York prints with more rapidity than the one at the Times office ? —Yes; the press of the Times is fed on what I call I a drum or vertical cylinder ; we feed on horizontal cylinders, directly on and around our greater or type cylinder. One man stands over the top, and another below, and so on, feeding, and the four cylinders are fed on each side of the large cylinder, on which the form revolves, and they feed the four paper cylinders, one above the other on each aide of the large cylinder : the sheets are laid over and over on the face as fast as the great cylinder can be turned, and every time it makes one revolution, it has printed eight journals. Is that machinery used by the proprietor of a penny paper ?—Yes ; a halfpenny newspaper, the Sun. Must not that require the use of considerable capi tal ?—Yes ; the Sun concern is worth a quarter of a million dollars; 50,0001. was given for it. Do you speak of copyright and plant ?—There was very little property beside. It was sold for a quarter of a million dollars, and it was very cheap. Fifty thousand pounds for a halfpenny paper ?—Yes. What is the circulation ?—Fifty thousand, but the circulation is a very light matter ; there is no profit upon that; but the advertising would he, I suppose, 601. a day, or 300 dollars a day. Could you furnish the Committee with some sta tistical il,forrnation as to the newspaper press of America ?—Yes, when our census returns are pub lished. I should say that the whole number of jour nals printed in the United States is about 3,000 now. If you count, for instance, one daily, with its weekly and semi-weekly, all as one paper, the number is 2,500 journals published. Are there 2,500 with distinct and separate titles ? Yes, distinct establishments; of which about 2,000 are devoted to general intelligence and politics, and the others are devoted to science, religion, and edu cation. And they are published at all intervals, from once a day to once a month ?—Yes, some twice or thrice a day. Mr. EWART—Your principal profit is derived from advertisements, is it not ?—Yes, on daily papers. CHAIRMAN—With reference to the Sun paper, you stated in your last examination that the circulation was large, but that the profit derived therefrom was from the advertising ?—The profit is nothing on the circulation. I will state how in our country, there being no duty on the advertisements, the prices are very much less for advertising. The prices range from 25 cents up to any amount, that is to say 25 cents is the lowest ; for instance, the advertisement of a religious meeting, or any public gathering, will be some 25 cents, or Is. of the money of this country ; the consequence is that the amount of their advertisements is enor mous. Every religious meeting, or meeting to take place of a n y religious society, benevolent or philan thropic, is advertised in all the journals, and forms a very large proportion of our receipts, though the re ceipts in each case are very small. We regard those as a portion of the news of the day; and advertising, which possesses a public interest, is done at a less price than advertisements intended for the pecuniary profit of the advertiser. Now an advertisement duty would destroy new papers. Its operation is this : your duty is the same on an advertisement in a journal where it is worth ten times as much, for in stance, in a journal of 50,000 circulation, as in a journal with 2,000, although . the value of the article is twenty times as much in the one case as in the other; the duty operates precisely as though you were to lay a tax of is. a day on every day's labour that a man were to do; on a min's labour which is worth, say, 25., it would be destructive ; while by that man who earns 1203. it would be very lightly felt. It would entirely destroy new papers. An ad vertisement is worth but a certain amount, and the public soon get an idea of what it is worth ; you put a duty me advertising, and you prevent any adver tisement coming to a new establishment. To those people who, advertise in the Sun and our well established journals, they could afford in charge a price to include the duty, and do very well ; but in a new concern the advertisements would not be worth the amount of the duty, and the consequence would be it would be utterly withheld. Now the advertisements are one main source of the value of daily papers, and thou sands of business men take them in mainly for those advertisements. For instance, at one time, in New York, our auctioneers were appointed by la j w, and were of course party politicians, and one ournal, (—\ e ._.. ‘. a- L 4..1. .I._. . i_. i. ,r, .4...

N 7 [PRIC E SD. which was high in the confidence of the party in power, obtained not a law but an understanding that all the auctioneers appointed should advertise in that journal. Now, though that journal has ceased to be of that party, and "the auctioneers are no longer ap pointed by the State, yet that journal has almost a monopoly of the auctioneers' business, because, at a certion time all the auctioneers were obliged to ad vertise in that paper ; consequently all the men who buy and sell at auction were obliged to take the paper, and now, although the necessity has gone away, yet still every advertiser by auction must advertise in that journal, because he knows that purchasers are looking there, and every purchaser by auction must take that journal in, because he knows that the ad vertisements by auction will be there, without regard to the goodness of the paper, but simply becausa of its containing those advertisements ; all the great dry goods interest, with the corresponding interests, must take that paper, and they continue to take it ; and precisely in that way tha advertising duty is an enormous help to any paper which has the most circulation ; it tends to throw the ad vertising always on the greatest concern, and the per ' sons who take, as I know man in this town do take, one journal mainly for its advertisements, must take the Times, because everything is advertised there ; consequently they do take it, and advertisers must advertise in it for the same reason. If we had a duty on advertisements now, I will say not only that it would be impossible to build a new concern up in New York against the competition of the older ones, but it would be impossible to preserve the weaker papers from being swallowed up by the stronger ones. Mr. COBDEN—Do you consider that the fact which you have heard stated, that the Times newspaper for the last fifteen years has been increasing so largely in its circulation is to be accounted for mainly .by the existence of the advertisement duty ?—Yes ; much more than by the stamp. The limited circulation of papers generally is caused by the stamp. But the advantage of any one journal must be caused by the advertising duty, which in effect is charging ten times as much for an advertisement in one paper as in another. An advertisement in the Times may be worth 51., while in another paper it is only worth 1/., but the duty is the same. CHAIRMAN—Then the advertisement duty must really destroy all the advertisements that are not worth the duty P—Yes, that and something more ; you cannot publish them for nothing ; the advertising duty not being guaranteed, it is the same as so much on each without regard to size. Mr. RICH—The greater the number of compara tively small advertisements in papers, the greater the advantage to their proprietors P—Yes ; I should say, suppose the cost of a small advertisement to be ss. (the usual charge in the Times), if you have to pay Is. or ls. 6d. duty, it is not worth the duty in a journal with a fourth part of the circulation of the Times. CIIAIRMAN—Your meaning is, with regard to the stamp, that the stamp wars against the advertisement duty, and that the advertisement duty wars against the stamp P—l say that the stamp duty wars against a greater circulation of newspapers, and the advertise ment duty wars against all others in favour of one. Does not it appear to you inconsistent that if a Government is disposed to tax the press it should im pose two sorts of tax ; the one tending to lessen the amount received from the other ?—I should think that it tends that way. Both combine in keeping down the press, though one lessens the amount of revenue receivable from the other ?—Yes. Mr. Rica—lf the one tends to prevent the existence of a leviathan paper, to that extent it would not tend to keep down the press, would it ?—The one tends to throw all the business on one concern. But the other stamp duty has not that effect, has it ?—I do not think it has particularly that effect. Then by that means it would not have so injurious an effect as the advertisement duty P—lt would not have as unequal and as monopolising an effect as the advertisement duty. CllAlRMAN—Supposing it is admitted that the Go vernment has a right to tax the press, and there are three kinds of taxes on the press, first on the paper, then on the stamp, and then on the advertisements that are inserted in the paper, does not it appear to you that the operation of these taxes must he hostile to one another; in the first place, by lessening the circulation of the papers by means of the stamp duty, you diminish the consumption of paper, and therefore lessen the amount of paper duty; and secondly, by diminishing the number of papers sold through the stamp, you lessen the number of advertisements in the papers, and therefore the receipts from the adver tisement duty ?—I should say, that if the Government were simply as a matter of revenue to fix a duty, say of a halfpenny per pound, or something like that, en paper, it would be easily collected, and produce more money ; and then a law which is equal i❑ its opera tion does not require any considerable number of officers to collect the duty, and it would require no particular vigilance, and the duty on paper alone would be most equal and most efficient as a revenue duty. It is clear then that the effect of the stamp and ad vertisement duty is to lessen the amount of the receipt from the duty on paper ?—Enormously. I see that the circulation in London is but 60,000 against 130,000 in New York city, while the tendency is more to concentrate on London than on New York. Not a tenth part of the daily papers in the United States are printed in New York city. Mr. COBDEN—Do you consider that there are up wards of a million daily papers issuing from the daily press in the United States P—l should say about a million ; I cannot say upwards. I think there are about 250 daily journals published in the United States. You would consider that there are a million of deity papers issuing from the press of the United States P—l think very nearly that. You stated that there are fifteen daily papers in New York ; how many are there in Boston ? Twelve, I think. What is the population of Boston ?—Boston con tains but about 140,000 inhabitants, but Massachu setts is much more compactly peopled and better sup plied with railways. All the towns in Massachusetts and in New England take more or less of the Boston daily papers. What number of daily papers are published in Phi ladelphia ?--Philadelphia has ten, I think ; they are not so many in number, but one or two have a much larger circulation. How many in Baltimore?—Six. How many in New Orleans, should you think?— Ten or twelve, I think. At what amount of population of a town in America do they generally begin to have a daily paper; they first of all begin with a weekly paper, do they not ? Yes. With regard to newspapers, the general rule is this, that each county will have one. In all the free states, if a county has a population of 20,000, it has two, one of each party. Tae general average is about one local journal in the agricultural counties for 10,000 inhabitants. A county containing 50,000 has five journals, which are generally weekly papers; and when a town grows to have as many as 15,000 inhabitants, or thereabouts, then it has a daily paper. Sometimes that is the case when it has as few as 10,000. It depends more upon the business of the place, but 15,000 may he stated as the average at which a daily paper commences. At 20,000 they have two, and so on. In central towns, like Buffalo, Rochester, Troy, and such towns, they have from three to five daily journals, each of which prints a semi weekly or a weekly journal. Mr. Rica—Have those papers much circulation outside the towns in which they are published ? The county is the general limit, though some pervade a judicial district including five or six counties. They do not penetrate into counties and towns in which other papers are published?—Not as a rule, but the Buffalo papers will have a circulation round Lake Erie, which is a country easily reached by them. Would the New York pipers, for instance, have much circulation at Charleston ?—The New York Herald, I think, which is considered the journal the most friendly to the southern interests, has a conside rable circulation there. Independently of peculiar reasons, they would not circulate in the more distant states ?—To a certain extent, the leading political journal of one party would be taken by the leading politicians of every state ; and if it is a business journal, there is one I know particularly that has a very large circulation among the pork buyers and the grain buyers through out the free western states, having relations with New York. They want fuller reports of the markets than those the telegraph brings them. Substantially the newspaper of any of those states finds the bulk of its readers within its own states ? Yes, the Washington papers are an exception. The New Orleans papers would have but little circulation in New York, for instance ? —No. Mr. EvrAar —The circulation is more local than in this country, is it not F—Yes. CHAIRMAN — When a person proposes to publish a paper at New York, is he required to go to any office to register himself?—No, not at all. Is he required by law to give any security that be will not insert libels or seditious matter ?—No. He merely publishes a paper at his own will and pleasure, without consulting any public authority ? —Yea. , Six Months, 21. 158. >Hectors on board the ,nd.

Yesterday the Parliamentary paper giving the minutes of evidence taken before the Select Commit tee on Newspaper Stamps was published. The following extracts will place before our readers the statements of an American publisher relative to the press in the United States:— Mx. HORACE GREELY CALLED IN AND EXAMINED. CHAIRMAN (Mr. Milner Gibson)—Are you able to give the Committee any information with respect to the press in the United States, and whether the ab sence of a stamp in the United States is productive of any bad effects, in your opinion ?—I will readily answer your question. We could not comprehend the operation of the stamp; it would be impracticable under our institutions every way. I can state some thing with regard to what the press is doing in our country, but I cannot imagine the application of the stamp at all ; it would require an entire revolution in the habits and feelings of the people generally. You are the publisher of a newspaper, are you not ? —I am. What is the name of it ?—The New York Tribune. At what price is it published ?—ln the first place there is a daily journakthatlis the size of it (producing the same).—lt is not printed on so good a paper as those in England ; it is published daily for one penny. What is the circulation of that paper?—lt is a little under 20,000; I should say 19,000 copies daily. Is it a paper circulated principally in New York and the neighbourhood, or does it circulate exten sively through other parts of the states ?—I should say that 10,000 copies are circulated within the city and its vicinity, and then the balance is about equally divided between the mail subscribers and the other towns wherever it is sold; say 5,000 are sold in other towns like Boston, Philadelphia, and Albany, and 4,000 sent by mail to subscribers. There is a weekly and semi-weekly in the same form. I must first say, that the daily of that size contains half reading, per haps, and probably half advertisements—four pages of reading and four of advertisements ; that is one penny, or less, by the year • it is fives dollars for 313 copies for a year, which is less than a penny when it is subscribed for and is taken frozi the office by the year. Can you give the Committee any idea of the num ber of the New York daily papers that are published ? —The number of daily papers that are published in New York are 15 in all, in the city. Mr. COBDEN—How many morning, and how many evening papers are there ?—Ten morning and five evening papers ; some of the morning papers are also published in the evening; we publish two evening editions, like the Times and other papers. There are five distinctive evening papers. There are fifteen daily papers in New York ?—Yes. What is the population of New York P—Five hun dred and, sdven►een thousand, but with the suburbs seven hundred thousand. Can you inform the Committee what the aggregate circulation of those daily papers is?—There are five of them cheap ones, at ld. or lid, whose aggregate circulation is a little over 100,000 copies per day; the other ten are sold dearer, that is, at ten dollars per annum, a little more than lid. each, not 2d. a copy. Of those ten I should say that the average circulation is about 3,000, being 30,000 of the dearer papers, the commercial sheets, and 100,000 of the cheap journals. The aggregate is 130,000 papers daily ?—Yes. What proportion of these, at a rough guess, should you say are consumed by the 700,000 inhabitants of New York, and what proportion do you suppose are sent to remote distances ?—About 60,000 are circu lated in the city and its suburbs, and about 45,000 are sent away. CHAIRMAN—What are the postage regulations in reference to those which are transmitted by post?— The postage has been one cent per copy within the state where it is published, o r w ithin 100 miles ; if out of the state, by the new postage regulations, which will come into effect on the Ist of July, it is reduced about one-half, except for long distances, excluding California, which is also reduced, for 1,000 miles or over the. rates will be equal to what they now are; out of the state, over 100 miles, it was one cent and a half (three farthings), and a cent within the state, and a cent and a half beyond that; and it is to be reduced one-half, except within certain distances; the average reduction, I think, will be a little more than one third. CHAIRMAN—It is to be reduced to half a cent within the state, but for all greater distances it is to remain as it was ?—No, it is not to remain as it was ; but there is a graduated scale, increasing, say over 500 miles, and increasing again over 1,000 miles ; it increases because the newspapers constitute the bulk of the mails; and thug, for distances over 2,000 miles on this side of the Rocky Mountains, I think the postage will be a little higher than it is now. I think it will be 80 cents per auburn for the weekly papers, instead of 78. There is very little increase on dis tances over 2,000 miles. The postage is paid every time the paper is sent, is it not ?—No, it is generally paid by the quarter; a man pays for his quarter's postage, if a weekly paper, and if in the state, 13 cents, and out of the sate 19 cents. Mr. EWART—Sow do the Government check the collection of the postage ?—lt has not been very closely checked. Mr. TUFNELL — Supposing an individual wants to send a newspaper, how is the postage paid ?—He does send it; but I think, since the reduction of the postage five or six years ago, an individual newspaper has to be paid for in advance ; if you put in one not coming from a newspaper office, you hare to pay in advance. CHAIRMAN—Does the Post-office deliver these papers to the particular parties to whom they are di rected ?—Yes ; but they make some objection to de livering them when we send large packages of papers. By package we send 20 copies a year (weekly) for 20 dollars, a little less than a penny each. They object to the delivering of those without the directions. We send, for instance, a package of .50 to one office, and they have a list of 50 subscribers, and as they come in they deliver the papers to them ; but they sometimes say, "No; you must write the names on each of the papers." Of course they must deliver them if the names are on them. Mr. TUFNELL—If they are not delivered, they are called for ?—Yes; they are delivered to the gentle men who have boxes; to the subscribers at their houses, they are not distributed without an extra charge. Mr. Iticu—Where the postage has been either a cent or a cent and a half, that has been irrespective of weight, has it not ?—Yes, entirely. Was there no limit at all ?—None. Hereafter will there be any ?—I have known ournals sent very large as to size ; tbo limit now is 1,900 squire inches, and if you exceed that,;;pa Y a double postage. You stated that the weekly newspapers cost a penny,or two cents ?—Yes, when sent to clubs of 20 or more subscribers; we charge more for a single copy of a weekly thin of a daily papa*, because the advertisements form a great part of the contents of the daily journal. The charge is two dollars a year for a single copy of a weeekly paper; that w ill b e twopence each number ; but to the clubs it is re duced to one dollar a year, 20 copies for 20 dollars. The object is to get a wider circulation in the different villages by making them cheap. A large number of city papers are taken so as to come to about one penny to each subscriber, and a halfpenny f or hi s postage. The publisher does not charge the postage ?—No, - 5 '~`~~~f~t_c.-' 4- If he should libel anybody in his payer, het would be liable to an action at law, would he not F--To two actions, civil and criminal. Then a newspaper publisher is not subject to any liability more than other persons P—No more than one starting a blacksmith's shop. They do not presume, in the United States, that because a man is going to print news in a paper he is going to libel P—No, nor do they pre-sume that his libelling would amount to much, unless he is a re sponsible character. Mr. COI3DEN—Are there not many actions brought in America for libel P—Very few indeed, unless founded on police reports, such as the report of a man being arrested on tho charge of swindling, or the like of that. I Are you not permitted by the law o f A mer i ca to publish the police reports?—No, it is not regarded as I lawful evcri to say that John Jones was arrested for swindling ; it is not a privileged publication; he might show a damage in that case and convict you, even though it was the fact that ho was so arrested for swindlin g , unless you could prove that he was actually a swindler ; that rule is derived from your courts. Mr. Rica—Does that practically occur ?—Yes, though it is very rare. Mr. COBDEN—From what you have stated with regard to the circulation of the daily press in New York, it appears that a very large proportion of the adult population must he customers for them there? —Yes, I think three-fourths of all the families take in a daily paper of some kind. The purchasers of the daily papers must consist of a different class from those in England, mechanics must purchase them ?—Every mechanic takes a paper, or nearly every one. At what time does he buy his paper ?-11e sub scribes to an office. The carrier of a paper is the owner of a certain ward of the city ; it is a property of his own ; on the Sun I have known one sold for 700 dollars ; that is, the privilege of buying the pa pers at the office at 70 cents a hundred, and serving them to subscribers, and getting one dollar a hundred fur them. In every particular ward of the city the carrier has a property in the right to receive the journals for the ward, and to distribute them in that ward. Then the working class receive their papers regu larly through the carrier in the morning ?—Yes. What time are they delivered in the morning ? Between six and seven ae a rule. Do those people generally get them before theY , ' leave home for their work ?—Yes, and you are coin plained of if you do not furnish a man with his news. paper at his breakfast; he wants to read it between six and seven usually. Then a shipbuilder, or a cooper, or a joiner, takes in his daily paper in the morning, and reads it at his breakfast time ?—Yes, and he may take it with him to read at his dinner, between twelve and one ; but the rule is that he wants his paper at his breakfast. After he has fininished his breakfast or dinner he may be found reading the daily newspaper, just as the people of the upper classes do in England ?—Yes, if they do. _ _ And that is quite common, is it not?—Almost uni versal, I think. There is a very poor class, a good many foreigners, who do not know how to read, but no native, I think. Mr. EWART—To a working man, what is the cost of a newspaper ?—lie may obtain one for Sd. a week, or a halfpenny a day. Mr. lticu—Do the agricultural labourers read much ?—Yes, they take our weekly papers, which they receive through the post generally. CHAIRMAN— Is there any sending of" papers from one person to another person ; a person having bought a paper and read it, does he send it to a friend by post ?—There has been a little of that. It is often done when there is a marriage or a death, or some piece of information that you want your friend to know in another country. It is not done for the purpose of economy, and to share the expenses of the paper between different per sons ?—No, they are so cheap that it is not worth while. Mr. Rica—The transmission by post would be nearly as expensive as the cost of the piper, would it not ?—Quite so, as they send them in separately, and the post-offices do not like to receive them in that way. Mr. EwAßT—When you can get them so easily, you need not transmit them ?—No. - Mr. COBDEN—The working people in New York are not in the habit of resorting to public-houses to read the newspapers, are they ?—Yes, they are, but not to read the papers. . They resort to public-houses to drink spirits, or anything else ?—A good many of them do ; it is not the general practice, but stiil there are quite a class wbo do so. The newspaper is not the attraction to the public house 0 ; I think a very small proportion of our reading class gu there at all ; those that I hare seen there are mainly the foreizu population, those who do not read. CifAilisfAsi—Are there any papers published in New York or in other parts, which may be 94id to he of an obsc4ne or immoral character?—We call the New Fork Herald a very bad paper—those who do not like it ; but that is LIM the chestiest. Have you heard of a paper called the Town pub lished in this country, with pictures of a certain cha racter in it, an unstamped publication—have you any publications in the United States of that character ? —Nut daily papers. There are weekly pliers got up from tittle to time, called the Scorpion, the Flash, the Whip, and so OD, whose purpose is to extort money from parties who can ho threatened with ex posure of immoral practices, or fur risiting infamous houses. Mr. EWART--- Will you look at that paper—(the Town being handed to the witnsss)?—There was a class of weekly papers got up there that were printed for two or three months. Ido not know of any one being continued any considerable time : if one dies another is got up, and that goes down. They do not last, do they ?—No, and I suppose they do not here; but the cheap daily pipers, the very cheapest, are as a whole, I think, quite as dis creet in their conduct and conversation as other joal nals. They do not embody the same amount of talent, they devote themselves mainly to news. They are not party journals, they are nominally independent— that is, of no party. They are not given to harsh language with regard to public men, they are very moderate. Is scurrility or personality common to the publics tions in the United States P—lt is not common, it is much less frequent than it was, but it is not abso lutely unknown. CuAIRMAN—In the transmission of papers by post is a distinction made between newspapers and other printed matter ?—There is a distinction. Other printed matter goes by weight, 2i cents. being charged for the first ounce, and I cent for every suc ceeding ounce. I believe that is the rate of postage there ; but it is reduced by the new law. There is a less rate of postage applied to news papers than other printed matter P--Yes. What do you call a newspaper—where do you draw the line between what comes under the postage rate and what is liable to a higher rate?—The rule has been that every thing printed as often as onc e a week was a newspaper; the others are generally re garded as magazines and periodicals. If it is only printed once—for instance, suppos irg that you printed any particular fact in a paper published to distribute all through the country, would that come under the printed-matter rate, or under the newspaper rate P—lt it had the appearance of a news paper and was said to be published weekly, of course it would come under the newspaper rate ; but if not, or was not to be published as a periodical, it would be regarded as other printed matter. There is no carefulness about these matters. One postmaster would call a thing a newspaper, and another would not ; and they often refer to the postmaster general, and he decides. Has there ever been any proposition made in the United States with a view to control the press; for instance, that it should he liable to a stamp duty, and give security in the same manner as is required in France ?—I have heard a suggestion that it might be well to charge one cent on a copy, and let it go free through the post, but not by any number of p ersons. Some have said that it would improve the character of the press, but it was never seriously taken up . I have seen it in newspapers as a suggestion. Mr. COBDEN—W hat is the circulation of the etc , York Herald r—l think 25,000, Has its circulation been increased during the last few years, or other% ?—I think it has rather in creased, not diminished. Is that an influential paper in America ?—I think not. It has a higher reputation, probably, in Europe than at home ?—A certain class of journals in thus country find it their interest or pleasure to quote it ft good (it-al. . _ CHAIRMAN—Ai the demand is extensive, is the re muneration for the services of literary men who are employed on the press good ?—The prices of literary labour are snore moderate than in this country. The highest salary, I think, that would be commanded by any one connected with the press would be 1,0001., the highest that could be thought of; I have notheard of higher than 6001.
