s,s extensive and evinc.s less talent than that Of
THE Times or Morning Chronicle. 1t gives rela'
lively more space to miscellaneous and literary
matter than either of the other large journals. In
1921 the profits of this paper were f5 OOo In
1912 ito circulation was 5000. and 1t has since in
creased 1t may now be set down at least et 1000
though previous to the change in its proprietohip,
which was some FIVE Or six years since, it was fall

Next in eye TO the last named journal is The
Morning Advertiser which was established Feb
ruary g. 1893 1t is the property Of the Society Of
Victualiors, end its prOGts-f5,0O0 yeary-go 10

and has circulation OF some $500. Inpolitics il I
liberal, but not devoted to any party. 1t goes for
Free Trade, and the Voluntary Principle in religion
as Supposed to the Establishment Its printed on
single sheet rather larger we believe than half the
size Of the double papers.
From the time OF The AdrertiSer till The Daily
Ners no Morning Paper succeeded in establishing
itIelf in London though several efforts were made
and great deal Of money spent The Nev Times
sunk $4,000; John Murray tried The RepreseD-
| tatire but it wss no go, and The Constitutional,
with Lamar Blanchard, Douglas Jerrold and
! Tbackeray for writers, met the same fate. The
Daily Nescs, which came into being January 81,
1885, With the strongest editorial corps that could
| be had in London, struggled long in doubtful exs
tence. 1t was started as bali price paper, at2ld
| After four month"; it was raised TO Sd. and some
tEoye.rs aince wes putup to sd. At the low price
il reached high bat not regular circulation some
tiues running up to 2lOOO; it row sells at least
! 4,5C0 while tie small evening paper, TIE En-
! PRESS which il made up mainly from its columns
cell: come $780, q: 3D. making In all 1000 copies Of
its leading end miscellaneous articles pat iato cir
ouGtion. Tie Ne,os is essentially Free Trade, 60
inc with Mr. Golden and the Mancheser phlloEo
phers. Its editorials are generally less able and
lets elaborate than those Of its cotemporaries. In
American affairs il is bettsrinformed than any 9th
er London paper. Its articles are apparently furn-
isbtd by an American, and warm partisan Of our
selfstyled Democracy" The Money articles OF
Tie Ners enjoy good reputation. Its musical and
theatrical criticism 10 not great. With the liberal
revolutionists Of the Continent it has genuine
Eymrathy for the Socialists its antipathy ia strong
and plainly expressed.
Beside The E1preSS there are three evening pa
pers namely The Globe established inlsll, Wing.
Free Trade, and Free Church, clever but not too
scrupulous, understood to be favored with articles
from the cabinet Of Lord Palmerstoni The Stand
ard, an excellent newspaper, ultra conservative,
owned by the proprietor Of The Morning Herald,
and edited by DR.. Clifford, the most forcibe
writer perhops now On the London press; and The
Sun, Free Trade radical Wing in politics, and
good newspaper, though inferior in editorial talent
to either Of the others. The circulation Of these
papers is about the same each selling not far from
$500 copies
The Evening Papers take Advertisements by
contractI the Morning Papers, except The Times,
charge generally S. Cd. for each insertion of ten
lines, and sd. for each line additional and do not
make deductions on special contracts, with the ex.
ception of The Post.
Had we not already far exceeded our space, we
should give some account Of the weekly papers, as
well IS Of the more distinguished journalists. The
circulation Of some Of the weekly papers is very
large. The Dispatch in 1912, exceeded, 10000,
BCWs Life in London sold 10000, The Spectator
$500, The Examiner $500, The Northern Star
tCbsr.ist 49, O0 TIE Manchester Guardian, 300,
Tie liverpool Courier and Mercury each about
$500, &c. These figures have altered considerably
since. The number OF readers for each paper sold
ie large in England, the high price causing every
buyer to find some one to take his Journal of his
hands az reduced price. Thus buyer Of The
Times in the city will have friend in the country
to whom be mails the paper after he has read it,
and who shares the cost Tho number Of papers
annually published in the United Kingdom 10 abou.
u to person. or third ofthe relative proportion
in France, and less thsna third Of that in the Uni
ted Slater.
The high prices paid for editorial labor in Lon
don are frequently contracted with those paid in
this country, which are found to be mean in com.
parison. 1t is true that pound sterling is given
there for the work which here brings dollar, but
this difference is hardly greater than that in the
expenses of living, and is nothing compared with
the difference in the prices Of English and Amer.
car journals Beside, 1t should be borne in mind
that greater degree Of talent is generally required
and paid for in London than in this country the
standard Of editorial ability there is much higher
! than here, and men ars paid accordingly. C. A. D.
