THE GLOBE:
THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS.

7 publish now my annual Prospectus of THE
L DAILY GLOBE ard the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
AND APPENDIX. to remind subscribers, anu inform
those who may desire to subscribe. that Congress
will meet on the first Monday of next December,
when shall rc-commcnce publishing the above
mentioned papers. They have been published So
long. that most public men know their character,
and therefore deem it needless to give minute
account Of tho kind of matter they will contain.
The DAILY GLOBE will contain report of the
Debates in both branches of Congress taken
down by reporters equal. at least to any corps Of
short hand writers in this. any other country.
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 Ave hundred words
an hour. When the debates Of day do not make
more than ffty-fve columns they will appear in
the Daily Globe of the next morning which will
conta in. also the news of the day, together with
such editorial articles us may be suggested by
passing events
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE and APPENDIX will
| contain n report Of all the Debates in Congress,
revised by the speakers the Message of the Presi-
dent of the United States. the Annual Reports Of
the Heads of the Executive Departments the laws
passed during the session. and copious indexes to
all. They will be printed on double royal sheet.
IN book form, royal qunIto size. each number con-
tanning sixteen pages. The whole will make, it
is believed between $500 and 5000 pages the
long sessions for many years past having ranged
between those numbers, and the next session will
be u long one, This | believe is the cheapest
WORK ever SOFA ID any country, whether reprint,
or print from manscr pit copy. taking for DATA
the average number of words of the long sessions
since the year 1913. The average number Of
pages is 1916. and the average number of words
on page is 1887 consequently the average Of
words Of long session is 9.290,772 As have
sold to subscribers that number of words for SIX
DOLLARS, it follows that they have paid less than
six and one-ha cents for every 100000 words I
hive furnished them while | have paid my no.
porters Sj29 for every 1897 words, Of this work,
in manuscript.
The coming session will. without doubt be an
unusually interesting one, because the candidates
of he respective parties for President and Vice
President of the United States will be nominated
before it closes and therefore the debates will be
| mostly on such political questions as it may be
thought. will tend to influence public opinion n
regard TO the persons to be supported for these
Offices, and the Globe will be, us it has been for
| many years past, the only source from which tho
full debates Of Congress can be obtained.
