This paper has just completed the second year of
its existence and its enterprising proprietors have
entered upon the third year with full confidence
that their prosperity hereafter will be complete
as their success has been heretofore. We have no
hesitation in saying that they richly deserve the
success which has attended their enterprise. The
following statistics given by the editors indicate
strongly the prosperous condition of this concern
Very few persons have any idea of the magni-
tude of the business of daily newspaper. The

proper and prompt preparation involves. Probably
very few of those who have paid their shilling
week to the carrier of the Daily Times, or who have
received it in return for their five dollars RENTED by
mail, have supposed that the mere cost of putting
in type hat it has contained for year has been
$50, TIA or that we have paid for literary matter
in the shape of correspondence editorials, reports,
&c, $24.456 during the same time Our telegraph
! c intelligence alone has cost $1,000 while
for the white paper upon which it is printed, we
i have paid not far from $4,000. These are large
sums. and Indicate certainly, much larger gener.

there has been very marked advance in the New
York press during the last ten years Far more mo.

more labor, larger scholarship, and far greater va

The act of the Government of France interfering
to prevent the rise in Breads is thus commented up
Or by the London Times:
According to law in France. the seizure of bread
in towns is determined, every fifteen days, by the
municipal authority with reference to the average
price Of -four, in order that the consumer may have
the fall benefit of fall in the value of the
teral When the price of flour rises, the assize of
bread rises of course in the same proportion. By
this rule and according to the quotations of -four on
the LIST of September the price of bread should have
been fixed for the ensuing fortnight at ninety cents
the loaf Ct two kllogrammes, (about lbs instead
of eighty cents which had been the rate in August
But an ntimation conveyed par or1re Superieur
to the syndicate of the bakers that by the Imperial
will of Louis Napoleon. eighty cents the mari-
price at which bread should be sold in Paris,
and that the bakers were accordingly to sell their
bread at that price though they suffered loss,
which would hereafter be made good by the Treas
ury. We could not have imagined that at this peri
cd of time, and in such country France, any
| government would commit SO egregious an absurd
ty. martnum of price one of the follies OF
the convention of 1893, but then it was in a
measure justified by reference to the state of the
currency, which had degenerated into assignats In
our day, however, that the Ruler of France should
deliberately order bread to be supplied to the people
of Paris at price which does not cover the cost
of the article. and may soon ia | far below it, is
prodigy we did not expect to witness 1t is in short
to produce fictitious cheapness, not by augment
menting the supply or diminishing the real value
but by imposing limit the money to be ex
changed for the commodity But if bread in Par
is to be subject to forced sales at low rate: it il
evident that corn -four and bread will be sold wher
ever they fetch most and consequently, that thi
absurd decree will throw the supplies of Paris en-
tirely the government instead of leaving them t.
the more certain resources of trade"
The French Government it appears, have larg
amount of grain in its granaries. which it increase
by purchases abroad. The policy of the Govern
ment has been to protect the people by being in til
market for the sale of grain at cost, whenever it
deemed necessary to open the ports for the impor
of grain from foreign countries. This is human
proceeding but whether it will prove to be an effect
uaI one remains to be seen. This procedure of tn
Government may, in measure, account for tn
