Newspapers I'm 1776.

There were no daily newspapers in
the time Of the Revolution, Edward
Abbotts tells us. Of some fifty papers
which were born, and lived. or died,
between 174S and 1888, all were week
lies or semi weeklies. There were forty
three such in existence at the. end Of the
war. They were poor affairs, viewed
in the light Of the journalism Of to-day;
but, measured by their times, displayed
considerable enterprise, and exerted an
immense influence. 1t was their char
acteristic that they aimed not so much
to print the news Of the locality in
which they were published as to bring
to that locality news from distant parts
Of the country and Of the world. In
fact, the newspapers Of the Revolution
had comparatively little to do with
news Of any kind The gathering Of it
had not been reduced to system The
publisher was his own editor and re-
porter. There were 20 telegraph tolls
to pay; and, had there been, there
would have been no money with which
to have paid them. News travelled to
the paper by private conveyance. It
was two months coming from Great
Britain. and six months from Constan-
tinople. That useful and widely known
individual, "a gentleman Of undoubted
veracity," lived, however. in the coun-
try at that time, and rendered valuable
services The papers were filed with
political sayings, satires and lampoons
By many Of them, the largest liberty Of
discussion was allowed; and there were
noticeable tendencies to the freest sort
Of speculation. OF journalism in the
modern sense Of the term. elaborated,
enterprising, competitive, lavish in out
lay, and presenting a field for the
highest attainments and most carefully
acquired professional skill, there was
absolutely nothing. And yet we must
accord to the journals Of the Revolution,
small, irregular, struggling sheets that
they were. the credit Of generally
heroic spirit. and very noble achieve
ment in shaping the patriotic temper Of
the times.
