|sfsh editor ahd publisher. Nj. Alfea
Harmsworth, who is entitled TO our re-
spectend admiration becausehe has had
the hardihood and good sense OF intro.
ducing American newspaper methods
in the management of the London
Mail. Mr.. Harmswprth has declared
himself in favor sf combination and
has suggested the fofmati6n Of mann
moth syndicate-a real syndicate
which is to control the publication Of
all the great newspapers Of the world.
He would organize stock company
with vast paid-up capital for the pur.
pose of buying up all the profitable pa.
pers in Europe and America and freez-
ing out the stragglers. The combina-
ton would collect its own news, build
its own telegraph and cable lines, man
ufacture its own paper and build its
own machinery. Itwould be, in short,
the most powerful and unique interns-
tional enterprise ever conceived.
Mr.. Harmsworth's colossal dream
probably is not destined to be realized
in our time. but it happens. to remind
the writer OF most interesting inter-
national literary and business enter
prise that came under his observation
a few days ago, called the Mail Plate
Co. Of Chicago. This concern, like the
stereotype plate houses, sends out
ready-set matter of high character
to its customers, most Of whom are
doing gbusinessin out-of-the-way places.
The stereotype plate is heavy article
which is -adsantageously used by
American publishers, but to send it to
the orient or occident would entail ex-
press charges quite beyond the reach
of the nominaily constituted antipode.
an or Arctic publisher. To fill the lat
ter's demands is the mission of the
mail plate, which is manufactured of
