PAPER
THE approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and PREPARATIONS to spread lis
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it il hoped viii
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which tho destiny of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLoBE
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 hdel-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression IN favor or the
work, are submitted in proof of It's fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled 10 omit,
Tor want OF room, page OF notices which are IN
type.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREss'oNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parfs, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersele, for the most part, +,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbre
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings Of
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential To their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph adminis-
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press. by furnishing a rapidly-wri,ten epitome
suited TO the taste of its patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimn-
ished. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut of by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w.res 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 who
like to see wlat is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preservesa full record of the dongs Of the great
moving and controlling power Of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate with the increased importance of the
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal qUarto pages of brewer and nonparei type
| making a volumes of near 900 pages each -
The reports for the last long session made 1896
| royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
! will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore. AL
though this will increase in small degree the
expense Of the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
| The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in IT, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
| The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpare,) in qunrto form,
pages The speeches of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed--the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
rENpIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, 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 President Is
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany IL, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
| during Il ses ion.
! During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
| make two numbers week--one of I'VE CoNGREs-
sIowAL GLOBE and one Of the ApPENbfk /; but dur
| ing the remainder OF session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
| int rnlata hat tha
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brevler and nonpareil We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session.
| We will endeavor to print sufficient number o
surpluscopes 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 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. ] will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes Of
the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
