THE GLOBE:
The Official Paper Of Congress.

r PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of the
/ DAILY GLOBE and the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE AND ApPENpIx, to remind subscribers,
and inform those who may desire to subscribe,
that Congress will meet on the first Monday OF
next December, when / shall recommencc
publishing the above named paper. They
have been published so long that most public
men know their character, and therefore !
deem it needless to give minute account OF
the kind of matter they will contain.
The DAILY GLOBE will contain report of the
Debates in both branches of Congress- as taken
down by reporters, equal, at least, to any corps
of shorthand writers in this or any other
country. A majority of them will, each, be
able to report verbatim, ten thousand words
an hour, while the average number of words
spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven
thousand five hundred words an hour. When
the debates of a day do not make more than
forty columns. thev shall appear in the Daily
Globe the next morning which will contain,
also, the news of the day, together with such
editorial articles as may be suggested by pass
ing events.
1t is also my intention, from time to time
as occasion may require, to publish my remi-
niscences of the public men with whom / have
been associated during the last twenty EIGHT
wears Anecdotes of General Jackson, and the
leaders of the party which he conducted, and
the leading men of other parties, will, be-
lieve, be interesting now, when partizan bitter
ness has abated.
In becoming the reporter of the debates of
| Congress, 7 deemed it proper to say that the
Globe would never be a partizan paper. This
pledge will not be forfeited by introducing. as
| a contribution to history the political traits of
character which distinguished the public men
of INV time. Although am, and intend To

history, hope to make the Globe an honest
| memoir and with that view l am resolved to
speak independently Of all parties.
| The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
contain report of all the debates in Congress,
revised by the speakers, the Messages OF the
President of the United States, the Annual
Reports of the Heads of the Executive Depart
ments, the laws passed during the session. and
copious indexes to all They will be quarto
size, each number containing sixteen pages
: The whole will make, it is believed between
$500 and 8, 800 pages, as the long sessions for
many wears have ranged between those
numbers, and the next session will be what is
: termed a ;" long one This believe is the
, cheapest work ever sold in any country
whether reprint or printed from manuscript
copy. taking for data the average number o.
words of the long sessions since the year 1913.
The average number of papes is 1876, and the
, average number of words on Il page is 1887,
consequently the average number of words OF
long session is 8, 900, 772. As l have sold to
) subscribers that number of words for six dol
l lars it follows that they have paid less than
= six and one-half cents for every l00, 600 words
have furnished them, while i have paid my
reporters Sc, 20 for every 2, 1897 words, of this
work, in manuscript. Has any other book

hereby agree to give to any person who shall
prove the contrary, a complete set of the de-
) bates running back to the year 1888, making
J forty-three qtarto volumes, which sell for 50 a
volume An act of Congress authorizes these
papers to 90 by mail free of postage. The
next session will be, without doubt an UNI
usually interesting one. as it will he the first
under new administration, and several com
pick questions must be discussed in it for ex-
ample, the currency, Kansas, revenue, and
other questions. The Globe will be as hereto
fore, the only source from which full debate.
