PROSPECTUS FOR ..rHE GLOBE"

PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
- THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER,
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal of my proposals and preparations TO
spread its debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny of the Republic
depends '... .F.a...'sa sr,a'. .'
The adoption Of Congress has given the G LOBE
an official character the reporter of all that is
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
and by members of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant uate through thetelegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many nstanc CD eT pGrte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
neutrality-suspicious. and variety OF colorings, take
the run Of the country, and press but the official
OF Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their xstence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitomc suited to the taste of it's patrons
perfect information Of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation of the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut of by het
erude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
Still there are great many men of leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
gavanic batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate with the increased importance of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher OF the complete debates and proceedings
of both Houses of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next seq
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense of
the publication the subscription price will be the
same that it has boon for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates rs taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing tho daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CoSaaEsslosAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with small
type, [brever and nonpareii) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report of tho
prepared speeches being reserved for the APpEN
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ing5, given in the form Of the Journals, with
the yeas and nays every important question.
The APPENDIX ID made up Of the Presidents An
nua Message the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t ia printed in the same form
rs the Cong EssioNAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF a session.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one of TIC CoNGR EssloNAL
GLoBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
malnder Of n session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make sat least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes t. both
will be furnished at the end OF session.
l will endeavor to print n sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar
ried, or lost in the mails but subscribers should
he very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that l 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 may have been received by them. ! will
give subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes Of the CONGRESSIONAL G LOBE

will thank any person who will let me have them.
