THE CHICAGO LEDGER is now apr
preaching the close of the seventh
year of its existence. having been
established in the winter Of 1873. p
THE LEDGER was started by its pres
ent conductors with some misgiy-
incs as to the success of the enter
prise. Many literary ventures Of .
kindred character had b. en- made In
the Western metropolis, and miser-
ably failed. The sea of journalism
was streYn With the wrecks OF
stranded newspaper enterprises.
Others that were living, but str1g-
have since yielded to inevitable fate
and gone down, leaving TEE LIDGKn
to-day the only weekly story paper
printed in Chicago.
THE LEDGER has not attained the
plane of success upon which II now
solidly rests without earnest, we'll
directed effort. It's conductors have
laborea earnestly and persistently
not only to make 1t an excellent lit
eTary journal, but also to make the
reading world acquainted with IL.
Thousands upon thousands OF dol
lars have been expended in bringing
its merits 10 the attention Of the
reading public. In fact, THE LRDGE1
has been the most extensively -ad-
vertised newspaper in The West.
The publishers have a feeling OF
pride at tho success that has at
tended their efforts to build up .
fret class literary paper in the esp
! ital city of the West. The eircular
ton, already large, Is rapidly grow
ing. and by the LIST day of January
will be not less than $4,000. Tho
publishers do not mean TO relax
4 their efforts to make The LRDGKn
the best weekly newspaper in fhs
West, but intend to persevere In tho
work, and during the coming months
will still further increase its value
4 and usefulness.

THE WORLD FOR 1850.

nemoerats everywhere should inform them
IL selves carefully alike of the action OF
their party throughout the country and OF the
movements of their Republican opponents.
A failure to do thisin 1876 contributed greatly
to the loss by the Democracy OF the fruits OF
the victory fairly won at the polls
The wear 1880 promises to he ono of the
most interesting and important years of this
crowded and eventful century. it will wit
ness Presidential election which may result
in reestablishing the Government of this coun-
try OH the principles OF its constitutional
founders, or in permanently changing the re
lations of the States to the Federal power
No intelligent man can regard such AN cleo
ton with indifference. The World. as the
only daily English newspaper published III the
city Of New York which upholds the doctrines
of constitutional Democracy, wiiIsteadlly rep
resent the Democratic party in this great can
vass. 1t wild this i'll no serviie PARTISAN
ship, but temporarily and firmly. As d news
paper The World, being the organ of no man,
no clique and no interest, will present the full
est and the fairest picture it can make OF each
days passing history in the city, the State
and tile world. 1t will aim hereafter, as here
tofore, at accuracy first of all things in all that
it publishes. No man, however humble, shall
ever be permitted truly to complain that he
has been unjustly dealt with in the columns OF
The World. No interest, however powerful.
shall ever be permitted truly to boast that 1t
can silence the fair crit eism OF The World.
During the past year The World has seen its
daily circulation trebled aud it's weekly ciren-
lation pushed far beyond that of any other
weekly newspaper in the country. This great
| increase has been won, as The World believes,
| by truthfulness, enterprise ceaseleSs activity
| in collecting news and unfaltering loyalty to
itself and to its readers in dealing with the
questions of the day. 1t is our hope and 1t
