THE GLOBE:
THE OFFICIAL PAPER OFCONGRESS

IRE OFFNLfL PfFEk Oc CONGRESS.
I PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of
L The DAILY GLoBr, snd The CoNGREss-
IoNAL GLoBE AND APPENDIX, to remind SUBJ
scribers, and in form those who may desire to
subscribe that Congress will meet on the
first Monday Of December next, when I shall
re.commence publishing 'the above named
papers. They have been published 80 long,
that most public men know their character
and therefore deem it needless to give q mi
mute account Of the kind Of matter they will
contain.
The Daily Globe will contain report Of
the debates in congress rs taken down bv
reporters equal. at least, to any corps Of short.
hand writer's in this, or in any other country
A majority of them will, each, be able to re-.
port, rerb0tim, ten thousand words an hour
while the average number Of words spoken
by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven thous-
and FIVE hundred words an hour. when the
debates Of y day do not make more than for
ty-hve colnuns they will appear in the Daily
G ODE Of the next morning, which will con.
tain, also, the news of the day, together with
such editorial articles as may be suggested by
passing events.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix
will contain L report Of all the debates in
congress revised by the speakers, the message
of the President Of the United States the an.
nual reports Of the Heads of the Executive
Departments, the laws passed during the ses.
sion, and copious indexes to ali. They will
be printed on y double royal sheet, in book
form royal quarto size, each number contain.
tanning sixteen pages. The whole will make,
it is believed, between $500 and 1900 pages
the long sessions for many years past having
ranged between those numbers, and the next
session will be y long one. This believe is
the cheapest work ever sold in any country,
whether reprint, or printed from manu-.
script copy, taking for data the average num-
Der ofwords of the long session since the year
1913. The average number of pages is 1876,
and the average number of words on page
Is 1897, consequently the average lumber of
words of long session is 9,29O.772. As
have sold to subscribers that number of words
for six dollars it follows that they have paid
less than six and one half cents for every 100,
900, words have furnished them. while
have paid my reporters So 90 for every 2,
S97 words, 81 this work, in manuscript.
The coming session will, without doubt, be
an unusually interesting one. because the can
didates for President and Vice President of
the U. s. will be nominated before it closes,
and, Their .fore, the debates will be upon such
political questions as. it may be thought, will
tend to influence public opinion in regard to
the persons to be supported for these Offices,
and the Globe will be. as it has been for ma.
ny years past, the only source from which
the full debates Of Congress can be obtained.
