THE NEWSPAPERS ALSO.
The Rough Side Of Hard Times Strikes
the New York Journals.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The general
depression which has existed in COM
merclal affairs for months past has not
been without its effect upon the news
papers Of this city. There are but few
newspaper properties here that are
making any money at all, and not
one Of them is bringing IN anything
like an adequate return of their capt
tai invested Their advertising and
circulation have fallen Off all around
at q rate which would have long ago
wiped out Of existence papers Of aver
age standing and popularity,
and have forced even larger
concerns to the closest economy.
AS IL Ia, the first year of twO-cent
journalism in the metropolis has been
the ruination of the under dogs In the
fight, and it closes with one-the
rruth-silenced forever, the Star In
the hands of new men, and the, Even
ing Dial on the verge OF bankruptcy,
and numerous rumors Of impending
changes in the ownership OF at
least one other property. Be
sides this, within the past
week the Telegram, at one time
the brightest of afternoon papers, has
been forced to reduce its price to one
cent in order to hold ita readers, and
IL is understood that the Graphic will
on Monday next begin TO sell its pa
PERI at three cents instead OF five.
This change in the fortunes of me-
tropolitan newspapers is all the more
surprising and remarkable because
they have been accustomed to depend
on the excitement OF the presi-
Dental campaign TO boom circulation
aud at the same time attract adver-
tisers. The campaign just closed,
however, played sad havoc with most
Of the New York dailies, and only one
Of them can really bs said to have
reaped any substantial benefit from It..
This is the Tribune, which was
alone among the morning issues In the
fight for Blaine. Now chat the ex-
element has died away, however, the
struggle for patronage among the pa
pers has been renewed with even more
vigor and bitterness than ever before.
1t would tax the memory OF even the
Oldest New York Journalist to recall
when the margin was 80 close in jour
nRlism.
