A MARVELLOUS ACHIEVEMENT.


From the Lancaster New Era. March 1871
Perhaps the most remarkable single issue Of 3
daily paper was last Sundays New YORK HERALD.
1t was quntupe TO accommodate the immense press
or advertisements, of which there were seventy
columns. numbering in detail 3,447. Can any amount
of words describe so completely the acknowledged
power Of the press this? Every class of business
men is represented among this world of advertise
ments. All admit the potency of the newspaper in
placing them and their wares before the world.
When consider. too, that all this is the growth Of
a comparatively short period. reckon
time the wonder grows still more marvellous. But
none but the initiated can adequately comprehend
the amount of labor which the getting out of this
single issue OF the HERALD entailed More than three
millions of separate pieces of type metal picked
up. set in place and stereoyped before single copy
of the paper could be printed. Seven and
half tons of metal entered into the stereotype
plates. In addition to the immense amount of ply
steal labor involved in the above must not forget
that fifty columns of reading matter accompanied
the advertisements. To prepare this required
small army of skilled men, whose labors. although
restricted the brief period of single day.
theless took in the whole world. for there
from almost every country that men are known to
inhabit But when all this herculean work was done
it still remained for the fast printing machines in
the HERALD building to run of the $4,000 copies of
the paper within the brief period of three or four
hours this perhaps, is the greatest feat Of ALL and
but Cor which all the preceding labor had been in
large rendered unnecessary casual

obeisance that magnificent mechanical triumph Of
the human mind, unexcelled by any the genius Of
men have hitherto accomplished.

CANADIAN DUTY ON NEWSPAPERS.

From tho st. John IN b. Telegraph. March 81
One of the most annoying features Of the new
tariff is the heavy duty which it imposes all
newspapers and periodicals coming either from Eng
land the United States. Purchasers OF foreign
periodicals will havo reason to remember the tariff
every timo they buy their usual weekly allowance of
literature. Under the tariff ten cents will
DO added to tho price of each number
of the Princeton Rerisc and five cents
to zach number of Harpsrs or Scr7brer's Maod-
-tas. Appictons Journal Pleasant Hours, and other
periodicals In the Same proportion. The prices of
English periodicals, which weigh MORE as u rule,
than those of the United States will be increased TO
still greater extent. All the United States papers
now imported hero largely will DO advanced in
price, papers that formerly were sold for lvo cents
now cost SIX. six cent papers are raised TO

The new tariff is thing of shrcds and patches.
It is unprncipcd and unjust. and if passed. into law
