The Herald In the Revulsion-stin Going
Ahead.
The commercial revulsion which has just
passed over the country, demolishing trade of
all kinds, has been particularly disastrous to
the printing and publishing business in all de-
partments. Paper makers, printers, publishers
and booksellers, all have fallen, commencing
with the Harpers, and extending to some of the
smallest houses in the trade. The sale of new
books has been nearly annihilated, and
it will take long time for the pub
fishing interest to recover from the
blow. Even the daily journals have been af-
fected to great extent Almost all our CO.
temporaries, daily and weekly, have lost more
or less subscribers, business and money Dur
ing this process the New YoRk HERALD has
not only held its own, but absolutely has
made financial increase over the receipts of
last year-over the most prosperous, too-as
will be seen by the annexed staistics:--

In circulation, Also the HERALD has made a
comparative gain. During the past three
months we have had an average daily circu-
lation of eighty thousand copies, and on several
days this immense issue has run up to NINETY
thousand COPIES IN ONE DAY.
1t will be noticed that although our receipts
do not show very great increase over the pros
porous quarter of last year, yet that during
the terrible financial crisis which has affected
all other establishments around us, we have not
only kept our business up to the mark, but have
a margin of two per cent increase. Indeed
it is quite true that no state of the
times, no revulsion, no commercial hurricane
Ia. seemed even to affect the steady pro-
gress Of the HERALD. During the terrible
revulsion of 1881 our circulation and receipts
showed an equal increase, and all the changes,
ups and downs, panics and hard times since
that period have not affected our sure and
gradual increase in circulation and aggregate
receipts.
Such is the great fact in the history of
the New YORK HERALD and its progress;
and yet disagreeing with US on our
course in political or general affairs,
many Of our mean spirited contemporaries have
constantly predicted the ruin, decay and extinc-
ton of the HERALD. When we exposed the
weak administration Of poor Pierce, the Cheva-
lier Forney and all the little organ grinders at
his heels beloved out that we were losing our
circulation, when the fact was we were increas-
hight When we supported Fremont as q con-
scrvative candidate for the Presidency, the demo-
cratic journals cried out that we were going
down. During that contest our circulation in
creased over any former period in the history
of this journal Since that time, and in the
face of the revulsion and the political excite
ment which have affected every one else more
or less, we have--as we have shown-not only
held our own, but can show handsome in
crease.
This IL the reward Of publishing a good
newspaper upon sound national princi-
Piles, without regard to parties or cliques,
or committees or politicians, or bulls or bears,
or banks or railroads or any other nefarious
combinations or corporations Of any kind what
ever. Our course has been founded upon the
highest political principles Of the Constitution
and the most elevated doctrines Of the Deca-
logue. We have made our progress safely and
surely against all the elements Of the opposi-
ton combined against us, and We shall pro-
coed upon the same principles. confident Of the
same successful result
