! The Appendix is made up ofthe Presidents
annual message, the reports of the principal
! officers of the Government that accompany 1t,
and all the long speeches of members of Con-
gfess, written out or revised by themselves
! IL is painted in The same form as the Congress
slonal Globe. and usually make about the
same numberof pages. There are not so ma
numbers published, the first weeks ofsession,
as there are numbers of the Congressional,
Globe, because the members are slow in wri.
ting out their speeches.; but towards the close
of a session, the numbers are published more
frequently dian the Congressional Globe.
Each Of these works is complete in ITSELF
but it is necessary for every subscriber WHO
desires full knowledge of the proceedings
of Congress, to have both: because then, ie
there should be airy ambiguity in the sYnopis
of the Speech, or any denial of its correctness
as published in the Congressional Globe, the
reader may tttln to the Appendix to see the
speech at length, corrected By the member
himself -
Vow, there is no source but the Congress
sioiiaI Globe and Appendix. from which a
person can obtain full history of the pro-
ceedings of congress. Gales g. Seaton's Reg
ister Of Debates which contained history,
was suspended in The year 1887, and has not
since been resumed. 1t cost about five times
mach for session as the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, and did not contain an
equal amount Of matter, great portion Of the
current proceedings being omitted. &
Compete indexes to both the Congression-
al Globe and the Appendix and printed at the
close of each session, and sent to all subscrl-
bers for them. ~''s5
The reports of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix are not i'll the least degree affected
by the party bias of the Editors. They are
given precisely as written out by the Repof--
ters and the Members themselves, and are sub
}ect to the revision and correction Of the speak
ers.
Both Houses of Congress. take the Congres-
slonal Globe and Appendix for their commits
tee rooms, and for the Libraries of Congress.
So confident are we that all who subscribe for
these works viii be pleased with them, that
we hereby pledge ourselves 10 take them back
and refund the money to all who may be dis
satisfied.
t. The approach of Congress which will dis
cuss for the American people all The most i'm
portant questions ever entertained by the ma
tional councils, and new and extraordinary
measures never before fitlly ventured upon,
! has induced the publishers of the Globe to

heretofore for reporting and publishing the
/ speeches and Proceedings of she next session
A stronger corps of reporters, new type, and
finer papes, will be provided, to present, ii,

ed necessary, as the grand stimulators. With
all these vast issues will be involved the ques-
ton of the next Presidency, on which it is
supposed every result will depend. p
In such crisis, it is proper that the people
of every district in the Union should be well
! informed OF the course pursued by its particu-
lar representative and of the bearing of all
the discussions in Congress, and of all its pro-
ceedings The important topics opened up
in Congress, will we have no doubt, greatly
I protract the session. and consequently in
crease the volume of our reports. The Con
gressonal Globe of the last long session maeFe
up of the proceedings, including the votes ant9
srnopis OF the discussion, extended! 10 almost
a thousand quarto pages small print. The
Appendix OF speeches revised or written out
BY the speakers. consisted also Of alb 5lft one
thousand quarto PAGES. These volunYns were
furnished for 81 each. The same amount of
matter reported and printed at the Usual pr
ces, could not be afforded for less than $40
! per volume. The matter being prepared for
! our newspaper. we were enabled to transfer
it and convert it Into the book FORM and sell
1t at the reduced subscription price. But the
volume OF the ceports increased by the long
session of Congress made tie cost of the pa
per alone nearly equal the price at which the
''oiume was sold. The publishers made moth
! ing on their work. Anticipating that the APP
preaching, session viii not be shorter than the
| long one Of the 9th Congress, we had deter
mined TO raise the price Of the Congressional
Globe and Appendix to 50 each; and to JUST
~ this enhanced price, incurred new expen-
ses to add to the value OF the work. But be.
ing impressed with the importance Of spread
ing information among the people, on tire eve
OF an election fraught with such consequences
to the country as that Of the next Presidency
/ we Gave resolved TO adhereto the old price Of
p tor The Appendix of speeches, to all sub
scrlbers up 70 the 1st Of Janury next. After
| that day the price will be 50 for each.
