Events i~ntlleLife of a Great Ne\vspapet.-Ancestry and Early Vicissitudes -Growth of Power and Inffuence as an Expunlent of' Democratic Ideas -Its Present RIarvellows Success as a Jourz~allor tlle People. IN tlie year ,813, \\hen tlie \var 1vit11 Great Britain for the protection of American conimercc! ant1 the vindication of America11 rights was at its height, a new Democratic journal appeared in the city of New York, under the auspices of the patriotic ancl fighting Tammany Society of that (Lay, and under the editorship of FIei~ryWheaton, tile illnstrio~~swriter on iiiternational law. This was the source and &tarting-pointof the broad Democratic stream wliich flows through the col- umns of THE WORLDof r886. The 1Vatio1ialddvocnte, after distingnished services to the admiiiis- tration of President Afonroe, passed in 1826 nnder the control of Major M. Y.Noah, who changed its name to the Enquirer, and that paper in 1829 combined with the Jforning Courier, which had been established two years beforc as a Jacltsonian Democratic newspaper. Thy was created that celebrated commercial and political jouri~sl,under the management of General James Watson Webb, widely known for more than thirty years as the New York Co16rierand Enquirer. In July, 1861,it was absorhed by the then lately born metropolitan venture, THE WORLD. ' THE BIRTH OF THE 'IVORLD. The erst issue of THE NEWYORK WORLD appeared 011 the morning OF June rqth, 1860. It was an eight-page paper of nearly the present form. It started with abundant capital and a large and brilliant corps of writers and reporters. The new and handsome building at the corner of Park Row and Beekman Street was selected for its home, and great vaults were excavated for Hoe's li$~tniug presses. The manager of the enterprise was Alexander Cummings, formerly of the Philadelphia iVovth American (and afterward Governor of Colorado), and his chief assistant was the scholarly James R. Spalding, a classmate of Henry J. Raymond, and for some time a leading tvriter on the Courier and Enquirer. THEWORLD of 1860, thus generously equipped to fight for a position in the front ranks of New York daily joomalism, would probably have achieved success but for the lack of one ee~ential thing in a newspaper-the news. FOR RERIOcS FAI\IILIES. The projectors were several gentlemen of large means and evangelical affiliations, who had cor~ceivedthe idea that there was a place in the community for a daily paper which would exclo- sively represent the thought and please the taste of the evangelical part of it. In furtherance of this idea everything was shut out from the columns of the paperwhich might offend the sensi- bilities of the distinctive class for which it was designed-even to theatrical adverlisements. But the experience of a few months taught the proprietors that even the seriously-minded persons upon whom they bad depended for sllpport would not buy a paper which did not print with promptiless and fulness a record of all events of "contemporaneous human interest." Tmo hen- dred thousand dollars had been expended and lost in the experiment, and the business passed into other hands. THE WORLD BECORIES A XE\V$PAFER. Then THBWORLD becanie a netvspaper. In July, 1861, it had absorbed the C'ot~rierand En- quirer, the largeftof the old-fashioned "blanket sheets.'' For a short time the paper bore the title of THE WORLDAND COURIERAND ENQUIRER,but the cumbersome addition was sooil dropped. In 1862, after a year'svarying fortunes, the property was bought by several wealthy Democrats, headed by August Belmont and Sam~ielL, &I.Barloa., and the paper assumed the position which it contin- ues to hold-that of the principal Democratic newspaper of the country. II~iltoilYarble was made the editor-in-chief. Under his management it took rank at once as a high class, wall-written jonr- nal of strong Democratic convictions and great power and influence. It clefended with vigor the Democratic policy during the later years of the Civil War, and drew upon itself the bitter animosity of Lhe Republicau partisans in government position^, who could brook no criticism of their official conduct. p-p-..-pp -. . . -. .. . - - ~~ - --- 7 The World. .~ .-._---..--..p_. .. _..~_ / _ 1869-1883.

Xarble retired from journdisnl, and Lhe properly ivas purchased by i 1 a synd~cl~teof capitalists, represented by William H. Horlbert. Backed by the richest Inen in 1 1 America, with an editorial staff cmbracinz the ablest men of letters and the brightest minds in 1 ; journalism, nnder this mallagenlent TEWORLDsteadily declined in influence and circulation, I not only failing to pay expenses, but entailing a loss of nearly $loo,ooo a year merely to Ireep it It did not sewe thepeople, and lieitllcr ability nor money could save it. I SEW WORLD. ) The present proprietor of THE WORLD,Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, became its purchaser in Xay, I 1853. In annouuci~~gthe change of o\vnership in the issne oP&y roth, he declaced that nnder the I new management THE WORLDwould be entirely different-" different in men, measures, and / methods ; different in pnrpose, poiicy, and principle ; different in objects and interest ; different : in sympathies and convictions ; different in heacl and heart ;" and the new editor and proprietor I added : i "There is roonl in tllis great and gronring city for a jourl~nlthat is not only cheap bnt hri:hI, i not only bright hot large, not ynly large but truly Democratic-dedicated to the cause of the I I people rather than that ol purse~potentates-de~otcd more to the news of the New thau the Old 1 TVorld-that will expose all frand iind sham, fight all public evils and abuses-that will serve and I battle for the people with carnest ~inrerity." TWO YEARS' STUPENDOUS GROWTH. The success of thc undertakiog thns inaugurated has been proved by the logic of figures. It is needless to dilate on the causes of a prosperity for which those figures $peak so eloquently. They ; tell the whole story. A circnlation that has leaped from 15,ooo to zoo,oao in about two years ia without 1)arallel on this planet. The why and the wherefore were sum~rerlnp in THE WORLD iaat Nay. It said then : "It is because at the end of t'ivo years we can reproduce the promises 1 we made to the public when we took charge of THEWORLD. with the proud conscion..uness that we have fully and faithfully lived up to tlleir spirit and their letter." RAISIKG $100,000 FOR LIBERTY. As an illustration of how widely its influence is spread, and how strongly it has engaged the confidence and entered illto the hearts of the American people, THE WORLDcan point with pride to itd successful effort to raire the fund for the completionof the pedestal of Bartholdi's great statue of" Liberty Enlightening the World," to be erected in Nem York Harbor-a gift from the sister repnblic of France. THE WORLDmade its patriotic appeal in April, 1885, and in four months the pnblic had responded with contribntions of nlore than 961oo,ooo, representing over ~zo,oooindivid- ual sobscriptions ; and thus the means were provided to accomplish the work. FOR THE PEOPLE AND GOOD GOVERNNEST. When THE WORLDbecame the journal of tho people, it enlisted in their behalf against all forms of social and political wrong. The humblest citizen has found protection in its colnmns against the injustice of the powerflil in place and wealth. The most powerful has not escaped exporure and punishment when guilty of wrong-doing. I11 face of a strong local preesnre it secnred justice for the weak and friendless victiin of the brutal police sergeant ; in opposition to a vast con~binationof money and influence it tore away the potent defences behind which a rich bank president and a millionaire slvindler had sheltered themselves, and helped to send them to the felon's dock. At the same time THE WORLDhas fought the good fight for m honest administration of government, civic, State, and federal, and can fairly claim a fhare in the recult of the election which cast out a corrupt pofitical party and restored purity and eficiency in the condnct of national affairs. In its treatment of every public question the welfare of the people lias been the I The bP70;ol.ld. I1 ; -- I I first and o6ly consideration. The touchstone has been '' What is for the piiblic welfare ?" Thus 1 i the paper has become strong and poGular, not so much because it has prefented all the news in a \ scrnpuionsly clean and acceptable shape as because it has rendered poblic eervice by doing good. 1 The, people have shown their appreciation of it by giving THE WORLDthe largest circulation ever I accorded to an American newfpaper. CIRCULATION AXD IDVERTISING'. ! Tsr: WORLDpoints witti natural pride to the circulation whlch it has achieved under its present 1 8 management. When the change in'proprietorship took place it was printing an average of 15,000 1 1 copies daily. In the first week of February of the present year the circullition of its daily edition I I averaged 150,000copies, and its Satiday edition had reached 213,040 copies. Comparing the three 1 Jannuries of 1884, 1885, and 1886,the fignres were respectively ,1,486,050, 3,064,859, and 5,338,281 I copies printed aiid sold in each of the months. The showing for January, 1886, was the more remarkable for the reason that the weather was unpropitioos, and the nelr s not of a character to 1 create an extra denland. A half.n~illionof people read each issne of THEWORLD,and at the pres- I ent enormous ratio of increase it wiil have vastly more before the close of 1886. This multitude 1 I. IS not confined to tlie n~etropolis. It covers the whole country, and the great journal is as eagerly ; songht and almost as readily served in other cities aud States as in tlie place ol itr pnblication. A tabnlar statement of circolation will be found on the next page. I The growth in advertising has been equally monderful. In Nay, 1883,when tlie new manage- nient came in, the &\-wagenumber of coluinns of advertisi~igwas 13 in each issue. THESUNDAY WORLDof February 7 published ioo:( colamns of adverlising.
