APRIL oath is The anniversary OF
the first newspaper publication in
the United States, that event occur
ring in the year 17O4. To day, April
"a, 1888, there are published in The
United States $500 weeklies, lri-
weeklies and semi-week les, $50
monthly and semi-monthly papers,
and 962 Gailies, the last having
daily circulation of 1865, 395 copies.
The number OF foreign papers pub
lished very slightly exceeds that of
the United States. To newspapers
is due the unity of thought and pur-
pose of cur people. Men differ In
opinion because they do not receive
the same evidence. The daily press
of the United States publish, stimuli
taneously, all over the country, the
same news of importance. The acts
of government airs known in remote
districts as soon as in suburbs of the
capital. The press is a vast bulletin
board whcreon fifty million people
see the days doings, receive the same
evidence, and form the same opin-
ions. We differ as to future results
only. The newspaper prunes all
idioms as we'll as establishes errors
of language. 1t is daily becoming
difficult TO distinguish from what
part of the country man comes
by his language, ard a man from
Maine is scarcely distinguished from
man from Florida or Oregon. But
the noblest work of the newspaper is
in its local effects, to defend and
protect its own; to criticise public
mistakes and negligences; to speak
to the whole community dailys No
faithful officer need fear criticism
1t is seldom that newsl aper be
comes a means of vindictive perse-
cution, but when it does it is a
powerful and dangerous weapon,
and its use becomes a great crime.
In such cases, however, it becomes a
poisonous serpent that stings itself
to death. If its charges are false, it
loses the confidence and patronage
of the public. The newspaper leads
the public. and the public holds in
its hands the life of the newspaper.
The patronage which they receive
and their marvellous increase in the
United States shows that they are
necessary to, if not stimulus of.
American enterprise and vigor.
