REvULsIoN AMONG THE NEwsPAPERs.-lf the pre-
sent times continue six months longer, all the penny
and sixpenny papers will go to the tomb of the Cap
ules, head over heels. The expansion of business
between the years 1888 and 1897, and the great in
crease of advertising caused by the forced acton OF
spectators induced the Wall street and penny pa
pers to enlarge their dimensions beyond the proper
rule of economy and income.
tits fact that the penny Sun newspaper and the
sixpenny Courier d Enquirer, fell into the same snare
during the vast expansion of advertising. The reve-
nue. accrung from subscription is inadequate TO pay
the expenses of paper, composition, and press work.
In prosperous times the deficiency was made up from
their advertisements-but under the pressure Of the
times all advertising is nearly gone, and what little
there is can hardly be collected. The other papers
in Wall or Nassau streets that enlarged their dimen
SONS to the same exicat are found the same pre-
dicsment. They are all in the midst of revision
which will, in less than six Or nine months hurry
them to utter extinction. Nothing can save them but
sudden revival of business or curtailmen of size
and expenses.
Ne better evidence can be given of these sober
truths than the effort making by the penny Sun TO
procure the post Office advertising TO sustain its de-
Ginning days. The urgency Of the case may be bet
ter estimated from the immense magnitude Of the lie
published by the San about its circulation, gravely
declaring TO Amos Kendall that il issues 10000 per
day, when it is well known, that in consequence
of the want Of work among the poor people who usu
ally took il in i, does circulate 900 copies per
week, and these bought by grocers to tic up
tea and sugar. The circulation Of every paper has
been cut down awfully except the Herald. Since
this day last year we have $500 on the daily
paper alone and 5000 on the weekly
If our friend Amos Kendall means TO give any pa
per the post Office advertising let him give il to for
"auld lang syne." The twopenny press are the only
class Of newspapers that get through the present
revuIsion. Both penny and sixpenny papers are CO.
vered with debt and ruin. &

MORNING HERALD.



Prodieious efforts were making yesterday. through
out the day. 10 drum up recruits to attend the two
meetings Of mechanics TO be held toaght-the ono
nj National Hall, in Canal street. the other at Tam
mary Hail. in the Park. Even the pretty women
were engaged in the canvass and both conservatives
and locofocos thus show proper taste towards the
dvinues of our devotion. We expect to tker ef-
forts continued today by all the modes Of large hand
bills pasted up at corners stimulating the mechanics
and encouraging the workmen TO meet at each place
of rendezvous. Nst
y One of the tricks of the trade quite amusing.
On Saturday night the locofocos posted all over the
city, about 1900 flaming handbis, calling upon the
mechanics, in startling capitals, to Tammany Hall.
On Sunday night the conservatives posted up ngnt
over the locofoco handbis, the same number OF
their 8, calling upon the mechanics TO the Nauonai
Hail. When the poor lOcofocos got up yesterday
morning, they found to their chagnn that not singi
handful but read the wrong way Ha ha! ma!
cried the devil the tears streaming down his furroweu
cheeks half in grief and half JOY that his chickens
the locofocos should be caught in their own raP
The meeting at Tammany Hall is ocofece to the
baekbone--that al National Hail. conservative to the
rump They both talk about a sub treasury scheme,
but this is all trash on either side. The real
point in issue is that of new National Bank organ
lied by the action of Congress. Honesty is the best
policy in public well in private life. Wha. is
the use Of men crawling their objects by ndlrec-
tonl All the experiments on the currency begun by
the hero Of New Orleans and earring out by the hero
of Undertook, have failed iserably failed. The
statebank system and the sub treasury system are
alike. We want the money power of the nation or
ganized on commercial principles managed by COM
.mercul men, in the shape of national bank; and the
sooner that the conservatives and the wings come out
for that policy the sooner shall reach the object
The nation is now ripe-revulson, DISTRESS pressure,
suffering have revolutionlzed mems minds. The re-
peal of the small note prohibition law is good as far It
gees-but it is feeble reed the vessel that wants
a tall mast. The sub treasury scheme now before
Congress is a nonenity, even if it passes. We are
now in fall enjoyment of such scheme-and, under
the present laws we will continue TO be So until
large national bank be organized.
Let all sensible, honest, commercial men, then
abandon the paltry indrection and affectedness Of
corrupt politicians, and out at once fer new
National Bank. The counnyis prepared. Why hest
tate AS the locofocos, rather suspect there's
a hole in their pantaloons. t e.-.st |
