,,xv YORK HERALD ON IT'S OWN
I'm THE NATIONS GREAT

James Gordon bennetLI Oh IHe Ne"
York Herald, is most magnificent blow
hard: vet 1t must be admitted that when
he INDUCES in a little "gas" about the
present and prospective greatness of the
American nation in general, and the New
York Herald in particular, he has consid-
cradle foundation for his gasconade. In
q recent number, the Herald boasts Of a
daily circulation of l44,2OO copies. That,
it says, is the extent Of the capacity of its
present machinery and space. 1t is
crowded with advertising, two or three
columns of ads. having to be left over
every day. In the Herald of the 7th we
find glowing picture of the future of our
country, and of its journalism, of which,
of course, the Herald claims to be the
head and front. And thus it runs:
The end of our great civil war is close at
hand. 1t is very easy to see that with the
return Of peace this country will be the
greatest in the world. Midway between
Europe and Asia, geographically, we shall
hold the balance Of power, politically, COM
developed, we shall produce the gold, silver,
iron, petroleum, corn and cotton for the use
OF all mankind. We are the centre of the
world, and we shall move everything by our
immense central force. In creating this ma
ton, Providence created the acme Of strength
and Of civilization. 1t is our manifest deS-
tiny to lead and rule all other nations.
New York is the leading city Of this great
country and as the power OF the nation m
creases, the importance of the metropolis
will increase also. Within the present gen.
Grafton this city will supersede London as
the financial centre, Paris as the fashionable
centre, and Rome as the centre OF the arts
and Of religion. For the past three centu-
ries the world has drifted westward. The
recent rebellion, which apparently interrupt
ed our prosperity, has in reality pushed us
forward hundred years in our advance to.
ward universal empire. In four years we
have accomplished the work Of century.
Without borrowing a dollar from any for
eiEner, without the slightest aid from foreign
Powers, and while still feeding the rest Of
mankind from our inexhaustible granaries,
we have raised the largest army, built the
largest navy, and crushed the most gigantic
rebellion that the world ever saw. Such
achievements find no parallels in history,
and can never be surpassed except by our
selves. New York city, which has done 50
much to aid these tremendous developments
will be the first to profit BY them. In short
time this metropolis will be the greatest city
of the greatest country on the globe.
Identified most intimately and inseparably
with this city and this country, the New York
Herald must begin to prepare for the magnifi-
cent future before it. The position which we
shall hold as the leading journal of the lead
ing city Of the leading nation Of the earth
will have its responsibilities as well as its
dignities and advantages. Ever since the
establishment Of this journal we have ade-
uuately represented the city and the country.
We have grown with their growth and
strengthened with their strength and pros
perity. Soon we shall be called upon to be
the representative and historian Of the poll
tics, the finance, the business, and the pleas
ure, not Of single great city nor Of single
great country, but OF the whole world. The
Atlantic cable will be laid BY next Fourth Of
July, and the Russian line will be completed
in few months after. By means Of these
two lines and their connections we can com.
mand all the news Of Europe and Asia SIM
ultaneously, and can publish as late intelli-
geuce from London, Paris, st. Petersburg
and Jeddo as from Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and San Francisco.
The Herald is going to send its thirty
or forty war correspondents to the four
corners of the world. A Herald's
Headquarters is to be established in all
the chief cities from Melbourne to Spitz-
bergen. We quote again;
Using the Atlantic cable and the Russian
telegraph, these correspondents, who have
acquired experience, tact and vigor In the
school Of this war, will send US every item OF
intelligence throughout the world, so that we
shall place before our readers in every morn
iue's Herald a complete photograph Of the
world of the previous day, and can issue ex-
tras with the news of a revolution in Pekin
or the discovery Of Sir John Franklin at the
North Pole before the event happens, il al
loUapce be not made for the difference in
time. Let those who regard this project as
utopiau compare the present condition OF our
country with its condition in l776; the pres
ent position Of New York with its position
thirty wears ago; the Herald Of to-day with
the first Herald issued. What We have done
is a guarantee of what we shall do. The
United States, the city Of New York and the
New York Herald have future compared to
which the present is as nothing.
This is not braggadocio, for the Herald
believes and intends all it says, and to
acknowledge the corn" stranger things
might happen, although we should admire
the taste which waited till they were &C.
cumplished before blowing about them.
