THE sL0BE-TEE CONGRESSIONAL MEMS
PAPER


TIM approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals. and preparations to spread
debates before The public. The success which neS
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped w,li
continue, and enable me 10 perpetuste the rail-
history of the proceeding and discussions of rae
| body on which the destiny of the Republic ee-
Ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GfoBE
an official character as the reporter of all hut a.
SAID and done IN the body. This sanction nss
been voted at every successive session for MANY
years, aud by members of.all parties. The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the fae-
ty with which the duty thus confided has been
performed. The annexed notices, tuken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work. are submitted IN proof of its funess, air-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit.

| The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the iee-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parts, relations by telegraph OF wnat
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most parr,
the sSact reports taken down bv reporters,
which formerly, In shape more or less abhre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfecejans
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
| publishes the full debate with the proceedings
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
| can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential 10 their ex-
stence. While, therefore, the telegraph admns-
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the poiltlcaI
press, by furnishing rapidly wrltten epito,ue
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect inforra
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly timiu-
lshed. The circulation of the Official reports
happ IN off hxrt ha do
diversified accounts which A yng along the electric
wres satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofeisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Com
gress, aud to Judge for themselves, rather than
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the SAKE
of the future, willingly patronize work wI,rcn
preserves full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations corr
mensurate with the increased importance Of Tn,
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming ser.
sion will probably be extended nine months, a,r
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ut
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
| making volumes of near 800 pages each -
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four W.T.
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIx for the next scs-
sion all laws that may be passed during the seq
sion, which has not been done heretofore. AL
though this will Increase in small degree Ine
expense OF the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
| past
The DAuY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news nc the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main Sheet
| for publishing the duly paper is, to enable Mem.
bers their remarks in it, and alter them ifnev
shall think proper before they published in
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
I The CONGRESSIONAL CLONE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches of the Members, in this hrst
| form, are sometime condensed--the full report or
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
PENDIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedngs, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents
! Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany it, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in
| same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
| during session.
During the first month or six weeks of SEES
| sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week--one of the CONGRESS
! SOCIAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
| ing the remainder Of session. there ia usually
| sufficient matter for two three numbers of encn
every week The next session will be unusuaiv
interesting therefore, calculate that the Con-
GREssIoMAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed III
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surpuscopies TO supply all that may be miscarried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
| lost numbers.
! If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for it will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. 81 will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes or
| the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
! | have few copies of the back volumes of the
! CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale al
IS volume bound, which 1t is probable will be
disposed Of soon and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 Il volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
| There are 25 back volumes.
