THE GLOB 80
The Omsiai Paper sf Csnxress.

publish now my annual Prospectus Of
THE DAILY GLoBE, and 'inE CoEGessaIoy.
AL GLOBE AND APPENDIX, to remind sub
scribers, aud inform those who nav desire
to subscribe, that Congress viii! meet ON
the nrst Monday of next December, when
l shall reconmence 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 a minute account Of the kind Of
matter they will contain, +.@ Ia
The DAILY GLOBE will confirm report
Of the Debates in both branches of Con-
gress as taken down BY reporters equal,
At least, to any corps OF short hand wri-
tiers in this, Or in any other country. A
majority OF them viii, each, be able to re.
por. rerJatim. ten thousand words an hour,
while the average number OF words spoken
by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven
thousand Eve hundred words al hour
When the debates Of day do not make
more than forty five columns, they will
appear in the Daily Globe of the next
morning. which will contain, also, the news
Of the day, together with such editorial
articles As may be suggested bp passing
events.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPEx.
DIX will contain report Of all the De-
bates in Congress, revised BY the speakers,
the Messages of the President of the Uni.
ted States, the Annual reports of tho
heads of the Executive Departments, the
Laws passed during the session, and CO.
pious Indexes to all. They will be print-
ed on q double royal sheet, in book form,
royal quarto size, each nun Der contain
ing 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 nun.
bers, and the next session will be long
one. This l believe is the cheapest work
ever sold in any country, whether re-
print, or printed from manuscript copy,
taking for data the average number Of
words of the long sessions since the year
1913. The average number Of words in
n page is 1887, consequently the average
number Of words Of long scssiun is ..
200,172. As have sold to subscribers
that number OF words for six dollars, is
follows That they have paid less than SIX
and one half cents for every 0U,Ocy words
have furnished them, While ! have paid
my reporters $6,29 for every 2, 81 words,
ot THIS work in manuscript.
The coming session will, without dogJt,
be an unusually interesting one, because
the candidates Of the respective parties
for President and Vice President Of the
United States will be nominated before il
closes, and, therefore, the debates Will
be mostly on such politlca! questions as,
il may be thought, will tend to influence
public opinion in regard to the persons
To be Supported for these Offices, and the
Globe vii. be, as il has been for many
years past, the only source from which
the full debates Of Congress can be OBJ
tanned,
