The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1849-05-02
The I. HKRALp's" Nrw PRINTING MAcH1nKnr.-

We have seen statement running the rounds of
some of the newspapers, and originating IN some
dsreputable in this city, to the effect that
the new printing machinery by which the New
York Herald is printed, and invented by the Messrs.
Hoe, of this city, destroys, in the process Of work.
ing of an edition, an immense value of sheets of
paper, to an extent far beyond that Of the former
machines.
We have no hesitation in pronouncing this state
ment an unfounded calumny-an unmtigated false
hood, in its broadcast and widest extent. During
the first month or two which this new machinery
was in operation, small quantity of paper was
spoiled in the experiments which were made in
order to test the working of some of the subsidiary
| portions of the machines but the experiments
having been made, and all parts Of the machinery
satisfactorily adjusted, it is now in perfect working
ORDER IN the vaults of our building, in Fulton street,
| at the corner of Nassau street and, during the last
few weeks the quantity of spoiled Sheets IN edi
tioa of nearly forty thousand, amounts, on an auc
rage TO about from thirty to sirty serenity Sheets
| and sometimes hundred, per day. There is, there
FORE under the operation of this new printing
chinery, saving in the mere waste of spoiled
| sheets far beyond that which we ever experienced
under the old system
| 1t is quite possible that this statement to which
| we give the unqualified and circumstantal contra
| dcton, was put forth by some malicious person,
for the purpose of injuring the ingenious inventor
of this machinery, who is now in Paris engaged IN
| the construction of similar machines for the
journals of that metropolis. If it be so, the
attempt will fail. The Ne,c York Herald, as now
printed, is acknowledged to be, in point of typo
graphical excellence, the most beautiful daily jour
al from in tho
United States. Our new printing machines are, in
all respects perfect and complete, fully realizing the
expectations of their inventor and ourselves. From
eight to ten thousand sheets are thrown off in an
hour, and double sheet is printed with the same
rapidity and ease a single one. This machinery
is, in fact, unique. There is nothing like it In
existence in this country, and we believe the
only one, besides those in vaults, is that which
is now in process of manufacture at Paris
Two of the penny papers,-one in this city,
and another in Philadelphia, -have similar but
emasr machines, of different construction, ca
pable of printing single sheets to the same extent;
but none of those penny paper establishments pos
sess the splendid, double power, extraordinary ma
chimes, with all their apparatus, which may be
seen by any curious persons, male or female, by
calling at our establishment, between the hours OF
twelve and three O'Clock, any day.
The Nev York Herald establishment is now
complete in all its parts-mechanical and intelec
tual. The recent improvements in It's machinery
costing about 4O,O00-and the building In which
they are contained, and its improvements and ad-
dtons, costing $4,000 more-making in all an
outlay of $50, OOO-are all in the first order 80 that
hereafter we have nothing to do but conduct our
newspaper enterprise, manage our intellectual de-
Al
resources of an industrious and Intellectual
people, and expose all sorts of bubbles and hum
bugs, either in banks, politics, socialism, Fourier
ism, and roguery of all shades, kinds, colors, and
dimensions, that may spring up in this busy world,
to stop or delay the civilization of the human race
FAsHIoNABLE TRAvEL.-We understand that
there is great deal Of preparation made at Sara
toga and Newport for the approach of the fashion
able season. The proprietcrs of the hotels are
brushing up their houses, painting their parors,
organizing their culinary departments, and mus
erng their troops Of walters and bands of minsres.
During the last two or three years, the managers of
the principal hotels at these fashionable watering
Places have made great efforts to throw out attrac
tons to the public, by getting UP fancy balls under
the patronage of the flash people of fashion, who,
on those occasions, perpetrate all sorts of absur-
dies, and indulge in vagaries, sometimes not very
innocent or moral in their results. We learn that
new and wonderful preparations are in progress, in
certain fashionable quarters, this and other Cities
among the Goldfish aristocracy, to figure tremen-
dously next season. Many balls will be got up,
polka will be danced, strange baths will be taken
in the surf, and variety of amusements will be
introduced that will be perfectly astounding to the
ouef ifv fhrou ont tho couutrv Thosa
flash movements are, of course, calculated to bring
vast crowds of vIsiters and idlers and particularly
gamblers and backlegs of the lowest kind, to these
watering places. A state of society is thus pro-
duced at the watering Places which is rather more
amusing and philosophical than decent or comfort
able.
We have much more to say Of these matters, and
some interesting descriptions to give of the fashion
able cliques of New York codish aristocracy
Those who really desire to enjoy a summer trip,
should go beyond those fashy receptacles of
fashionable folly and pretension, of opera goers,
fancy costumers, French cooks, and Italian wait
ing-mads. We understand that new and splen-
did hotel is about to be erected at Niagara Falls
and that great preparations in progress in order
to have it ready for the accommodation of visitors
next summer. A new company has been formed
and large capital invested, to carry out this enter
prise. We believe that the operations have been
already commenced.
SOCIALISM IN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS STEALING
Proudhon, the great Socialist leader nIFrance for
mery announced as the cornerstone of his new
system of society, that cal property was rob-
berry" That is to say, that there is no such
thing in existence as the right of property and
when any one wants what another has got, he has
perfect right to reach forth his hand and help
himself as he may desire. Such conduct, under
the old CODE was called stealing, and met with its
deserved punishment in the Penitentlary. But the
new philosophy and modern socialists are going to
mend all these absurd and old notions about pro-
perty in anvthinp
