The Rcvolusisn In the Press.

Yesterday Journal Of Commerce feeling the pres
sure Of the times and the inecicncy fits former sys-

for advertising at half price, together with the cash
system for subscriptions also at a reduced price The
New York Express has already been endeavorng TO

patch and other small papers, have been endeavorng
also to keep themselves alive by reduction in the
price Of cash advertising. The Courier and Enquir

they must bend TO the movement or 60 out Of

ssstand the hazard Of the die.''


All these movements and mantle stations are evil
dence of the great revolution working in the daily
press. Before May, 1895, the penny press even
under its cash system, had sickly existence-and
the Wall street press lazy, indolent and talent
less. At that period we began the Herald the
cash SYSTEM but the cash stem alone the
principle on which our extraordinary success has
been founded. Our system is a combination of the
cash and Intellectual systems-money and mind-n-
dustry and brains-high resolves and moral views,
united with physical and intellectual improvements

In Office we have six writer's always engaged in
carrying out views Of society, manners, morals
and money matters, besides correspondents in all
parts Of the world, from Rio Janiero to Canton. We
have also employed two first rate artists, who

the present age.


The system on which we conduct our establish

werld. There is use to be mincing words, or af-
