tie effect Of association that it seemed strangely
out OF place in a Russian paper. Twenty years
ago Oh hands engaged on the paper would have
been seat off to Siberia the next day after the
article had appeared-that is, if it's MS had

such articles appear, and be circulated on the
Continent, and there are few thrones that can
stand the shock
The influence OF the Independent press here
has likewise been exercised to stimulate
the inventive faculties Of our mechanics.
With the extension of our circulation
came pressing demands for a swiftcr printing
press and with the demand came the supply, ia
the shape Of Hoes world-renowned machine.
duced by us, and our mechanical department is
visited as, and declared to be, model of perfec-
ton by accurate judges from all parts Of the
civilized world. Lately the agent and CORES
pondent of the London Tines obtained circum-
stantial details of our mechanical operations for
the use of his employers of the "Thunderer."
The American system of advertising has likewise
been initiated in the leading London papers, and
the Telegraph, penny paper, conducted on the
cash system, seems to be ia fair way of success.
AT home the sphere of the independent press
is widening every day. 1t is the exponent Of
md . do tha
lar heart. 1t appeals to individuals, not to
masses, and says, in effect, hear all sides, then
Judge for yourselves. And this press has broken
down the influence Of the politicians Their tricks

quick and sudden public monitor. 1t dsor-
gaDizes parties dissolves cliques and discovers

another it will restore as it has always defended
and upheld, the simple principles upon which
the republic was founded. SO that, free from
the dragooning influence of small politicians
and petty intrigues, the people will 60 to
the polls and choose their own man to
fill the chair Of Washington. There are certain
signs that this happy event will not be long
postponed, but that in the very next Presidential
election there will be such popular uprising,
by understood concert between individual minds,
as will overthrow at one blow all the deep laid
plans of the spoilsmen, who are even now parcel
ling out the proceeds Of victory, before the battle
has been commenced.
Thus has commenced the mission Of the indie
pendent press. Nothing eau arrest it. 1t is
vital power-an institution Of the country. We
are for all time. We have only to keep the ma
chine going and our course is onward and up
ward. No changes Of government, no crises,
wars or rev olutions can affect u.s. Day by day
we feel that our sphere of usefulness is enlarged,
and with it our responsibilities increased. We
believe that the Independent press is the leading
power ia the United States, and it is our firm H.
tention that the HERALD shall be always in the
front of the battle.
