REVOLUTION IN JOURNALISM.
what lhe New YORK Times Recent
Change VIII Cause.
Specidl 10 the REGISTER.

New YORK, September 19.-The recent
reduction in price of the Times was great
surprise to journalists, and with them 1t is
now the leading topic OF conversation. 1t
means, they say, q revolution in journal
ssm such as the London press underwent
a few years since. 1t will compel the Sun
to become one cent journal, and bring
the Herald down to two cents copy in
stead OF raising it to five cents a copy, as
Bennett contemplated doing some months
ago. Carl Schurz thinks that the Times
change foreshadows a closer competition
among newspapers and survival OF the
fittest. The Tribune is the first to adjust
itself to the new order OF affairs
and this morning announces that
hereafter it will be sold at three cents
u copy instead Of four. In making this
change il says editorially: the reduction
is made on the theory that Our readers
are our partners, and entitled to share in
such good fortune as the reduced price OF
paper. II we were striving to stimulate a
failing circulation, we should doubtless
make more startling reduction. As IL is,
our general prosperity counSels us to main-
tain the policy, so long approved, OF eX-
pending literally uIon the columns 10
Keep them worthy OF the largest circulation
amsDg the best people) and OF charging

penditure.'
