Times sells for three times as tnuch as am,

portant newspaper property. as well as tha
most important vehicle of Intelligence in
Europe, and probably in the world.
The London TELEGRAPH ss gaining rapi8lv
upon the Times in influence and dividends
and is Il much more popular paper The
Times prints everything verbatim. The pro
ceedings of parliament. the county ceuacn.
the school board, and an importaut puhli,
documents appear in fun an its columns.

any attent on whatever. 1t is true thai
members of the ministry write FOR the
Times II is also true that the most ia

occasionally contribute 20 It's columns. II
toriaL aud SOD for a poem of not more
than thirty lines, but this extravaganco
IS very infreQuent Ii is the policy of that
newspaper 10 make PEOPLE bcleve that the
chancellor Of the eXchCqcer ana the Cover
nor of the Bank of England write the daily
column on finance, the prime minister the
comments on the government ana The
archbishop of Canterbury the articles on
religion. This preteus on has a slender foun-
dation. The Chicago Record and severa
other American newspapers pay twice as
much for news and editorial articles every
year a does the London Times
Another strong point of the Times is It's
correspo ndence from all parts of the world
which is he best published bv any news
paper. and every issue contains unpaid
contr,b buttons from men of learning md
importance on an sorts Of subjects.
1t is customary for the Times. the Tele-
graph and other wealthy papers of Eng
land to retain" prominent writer's and
famous correspondents so that they shall
not contribute to any other. For example.
Archibald Forbes used TO receive and per-
hans stiu receives a retainer Of f2lO or f4oO
a wear TO monopoi2e his services He ac-
cents this with the understanding that he
is ALWAYS ready 10 obev orders for articles
In his special line, and will not write for
any other newspaper When he is actually
emploved he receives additional companse-
lion
AS a rule the salaries Maid nv the Ion
