The organization of the HEsALD ESTABLISHMENT
is now complete Our steam -double-cylin-
der-three news boats-our foreign and domestic cor
respondence-our money and commercial markets
our theatrical cri,icisms-our law and police reports,
all united and condensed into one system, under the
personal inspection and supervision of myself the sole
ed tor and proprietor enable US to issue two daily
and two weekly papers with ease and despatch.
For many weeks past we have beaten all the Wall
street papers in ship news foreign and domestic arrv
ais and local intelligence of every kind. The superb
orty of the Herald in commercial matters is now as
universally acknowledged as it has for a long time
been in every other department. in life. In every
branch OF newspaper, our intellectual and physical
elements are far superior to any other IN this city
A. natural consequence Of this powerful organIza-
ton, the popularity and circulation Of the Herald are
increasing beyond that Of any former period. This
increase and this popularity are not now as In 1895
and 1885, confined 10 the city or neighborhood-
are coextepsive with the whole Union, and even
reach to foreign countries. As q specimen Of the
extraordinary and powerful movement the Herald is
producing on the public mind, we annex the following

pie that the price of public lands
should be proportioncd to their rel
alive value so faras that can be ac-
complished without departing from
the rule heretofore observed reqnir-
ing fixed prices in cases ofpriyate
entries. The difficulty of the subject
seems to lie in the mode of ascertain
ing what that value is. Would not
the safest plan be that which has been
adopted by many of the States as the
basis of taXation-an actual valuation
Oflands and classification ofthem into
different rates? Would it not be
practicable and expedient to cause the
relative value Of the public lands in
the old districtswhich have been for a
certain length of time in market to be
appraised and closed into two or more
rates below the present minimum
price by the officers now employed in
this branch of the public service or in
any other mode deemed preferable
and to make those prices permanent
if upon the coming in of the report
they shall prove satisfactory to Con-
gress? Cannot all the objects of
graduation be accomplished in this
way, and the objections which have
hitherto been urgedagainstitavoided!
1t would seem to me that such a step,
with a restriction Of the sales to limi-
ted quantities and for actual improve
ment, would be free from all just ex-
ception. o. 4ir aa. ts#aa
I BY the full exposition Of the value
of the lands thus furnished and ex-
tensiyely promulgated persons living
at distance would be informed of
their true condition and enabled to
enter into competition with those re-
siding in the vicinity; the means of
) acquiring an independenthome would
be brought within the reach of many
t who are unable to purchase at present
l prices; the population of the new
: States would be sold which would o.
therwise remain on hand; not only
| would the land be brought within the
: means of a large number of purcha-
sors. but many persons possessed OF
r greater means would be content to
settle on a larger quantity of poorer
lands rather than emigrate farther
| west in pursuit of a smaller quantity
I of better lands. Such a measure
I would also seem to be more consistent
. with the policy Of the existing laws
$ that of converting the public domain
f into cultivated farms owned by their
occupants. That policy is not best
t promoted by sending emigration up
3 the almost interminable streams ofthe
West to occupy in groups the best

worthy of consideration whether JUS
flee may not be done to everyinterest
in this matter and a vexcd question
set at rest perhaps for ever by a rea-
sonblc compromise of conflicting o.
pinons.-Hiti.erto after being offered
a. public sale, lands have been dis
posed of at one uniform price whate-
ever difference there might bein their
intrinsic value. The leading consid-
erations urged in favor of the meas
ures referred to, are that in almost all
the land districts and particularly in
those in which the lands have been
long surveyed and exposed to sale
there are still remaining numerous
and large tracts of every gradation OF
value from the Government price
downward; that these lands will not
be classed at the Government price
so long as better can be conveniently
obtained for the same amount; that
there arc tracts which even the i'm
provements ofthe adjacent lands will
never raise to that price; and the
present uniform price combined with
their irregular value operate to pre-
venta desirable compactness of set
tlement in the new States and to re-
gard the Acknowledgements fthatwise
pollcyonwhich ourland systemisfoun-
Sed to theinjury notonlyofthe several
States where the lands lie but the U. S
as whole.
The remedy proposed has been a
reduction of prices according to the
length of time the lands have been ir
market, without reference to any O.
'ner circumstances. The certainty
mat the effiux of time would not al
