THE GLOBE:
The Official Paper Of Congress.

PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of the
l. DAILY GLOBE. and the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE AND APPENDIX, 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 a minute account of
the kind of matter they will contain.
THE DAILY GLOBE will contain areport of the
Debates in both branches of Congress, as taken
down by reporters, equal, at least, to any corps
of shorthand writers i'm this or any other
country. A majority of them will, each, he
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 day do not make more than
forty columns, they 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 l have
been associated during the last twenty-eight
years. 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, l deemed it proper to say that the
Globe would never be partizan paper. This
| pledge will not be forfeited by introducing a
a contribution to history the political traits o
| character which distinguished the public mel
of nv time. Although am, and intend t,
remain. a thorough Democrat, will never oh
| pst,Ia. yV.lV IN ia a
obnoxious TO any party. But in regard to
persons and events which go to make up
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 a report of all the debates in Congress
revised by the speakers, the Messages Of tn
President of the United States, the Annua
Reports of the Heads of the Executive Depart
ments, the laws passed during the session, ant
copious indexes to all. They will he quart
size, each number containing sixteen pages
The whole will make, it is believed, betwee
1900 and 3, 800 pages, as the long sessions fo
many wears have ranged between thos
numbers, and the next session will be what
: termed "long one." This believe is tn
S cheapest work ever sold in any countr,
, whether reprint or printed from manuscril
, copy, taking for data the average number
words of the long sessions since the year 1874
The average number of papes is 1876, and Il
, average number of words on page is 2,S9
consequently the average number of words
long session is 9, 290,772. As have sold
subscribers that number of words for six do
lars, it follows that they have paid less tina
: six and one half cents for every 100, 900 wore
. have furnished them, while have paid IN
reporters Sc, 20 for every 1897 words, of tn
work, in manuscript. Has any other book
, seller anywhere, ever sold book in the fir
! instance while it was new, at so low a rate
, I believe not and SO strong is my belief thu
/, | hereby agree to give to any person who sha
prove the contrary, complete set of the d'
bates running back to the year 1893, maxim
forty three qtarto volumes, which sell for So
volume. An act of Congress authorizes thes
papers to go by mail free of postage Tn
next session will be, without doubt, an un
usually interesting one, it will be the frs
under new administration, and several com
| pick questions must be discussed in ii for eX
ample, the currency, Kansas, revenue, an,
other questions. The Globe will be rs hereto
fore, the only source from which full debate
| can be obtained.
