Each of these works is complete in il
self; but it is necessary for every subscri-
Der who desires full knowledge of the
proceedings of Congress, TO lave both
because, then, if there should be any am
biguity in the synopsis of the speech, or
any denial of its correctness, as published
in the Congressional Globe, the reader
may turn to The Appendix to see the speech
at length, corrected by the member him
self.
Now, there is no source but the Con-
gresslonal Globe and Appendix, from
which person can obtain full history OF
The proceedings of Congress. GALES d
SEAToN's Register of Debates, which con-
tanned history, was suspended in the
year 1887, and has not since been resu-
med. 1t cost about five times as much for
session as the Congressional Globe and
Appendix, and did not contain an eqml
amount Of matter, great portion Of the
current proceedings being omitted.
Complete indexes to bolh the Congress
ional CLIQUE and the Appendix are printed
at the close of each session, and sent TO
all subscribers for them.
The reports OF the Congressional
Globe and Appendix are not in the least
degree affected by the party bias of the
editors. They are given precisely as
written out by the Reporters and the Mem
bers themselves, and are subject 10 the re-
vision and correction of The speakers.
B 9TH Houses of Congress take the
Congressional Globe and Appendix for
their committee rooms, and Tor the libra
ries of Congress. So confiden; are we
that all who subscribe for these works will
be pie ,scd " it'll them, that we hereby plec &c
ourselves To t.ke them back and refund
the money to all who may be dissaiis-

The approach OF Congress which will
discuss for the American people all The
most impoi tant questions ever entertained
by the national councils, and new and i'm
poriant questions never before fully ventu-
led upon, has induced the publishers OF
the Globe TO make greater and better
preparation than heretofore for reporting
and publishing the proceedings and speech
es of the next session. A stronger corps
OF reporters, new type, and finer paper,
will BE- provided, TO present, in the Lest
manner, the debates and doihgs of the rep
re zen tail, es oil the Uni n, which assemblies
under exciting circumstances, very WIDE
| " differing from the state OF things en-
countered Ivy any previous Congress. The
executive power Is at war with Lo'h the
great parties that comp Sc the Cong e,s;
and one Of these will have the as, eauen-
CIV in the Senate, win the other holds the
power in the recently chosen popular
branch. In this attitude Congress will
meet, to deal with the most interesting top
les which have ever invoked its wisdom.
1t will find the whole revenues Of the
country in the hands of irresponsible
tunc,ionaries, in whom no party confdes.
1t will find an oppressive tariff robbing the
great mass OF The people and the Cow
eminent. 1t will find monstrous mon.

to build up another independent taxing
power in an incorporated establishment
giving as vested right TO certain classes.
authority to counterfeit for the nation a
currency forbidden by the Constitution.
1t will find political agitators in Congress
10 work Tor Presidential aspirants, urging
the distribution of the national domain,
and the assumption OF State debts, as a
means of enlisting in their political de-
signs all the classes who look to dlstribu-
ton as perpetuatIng an excessive tariff, 10
assumption as app"eciatlng their stocks
and creating national debt--opening a
new field of speculation, Of which ma

grand stimuIator. With all these vast is
sues will be involved the question of the
mex. Presidency, on which il is supposed
!. every result will depend.
In such crisis, it is proper that the
people in every district of The Union
should he well informed of the course pur.
sued by its particular representative, and
of the hearings of all the discussions in
Congress, and of all its proceedings. The
important topics opened up 10 Congress,
will, we have no doubt, greatly protract
the session, and consequently Increase the
volume OF our reports. The Congress
ional Globe of the last long session (made
up of the proceedings, including the votes
and synopsis of the dscussions) extend
ed to almost a thousand quartz pages,
small print. The APP. endix ot speeches,
revised or written out by the speakers, con-
sisted also of about one thousand quarto
pages. These volumes were furnished
for ST. each. The same amount of mat
ter reported and printed at the usual pri-
ces. could not be afforded for less than $40
per volume. The matter being prepared
for our nowspaper,we are enabled to trans
fer it and convert it into the hook form
and sell it at the reduced subscription
