JUDGE BASIL S. RBEl POSSESSES
COP! OF THE FIRST "llffl TM SOU"
Paper Is Dated September 3, 1833 and Is Quite a Curiousity Com
pared With the Modern Metropolitan Newspapers the Judge
Greatly Prizes the Little Newspaper.
Judge B. S. Ramsey is the pos
sessor of a ropy of issue No. i of
the Sun of New York City, which
sent out its first issue Tuesday,
September 3, 1833, which is a
valuable relic and highly prized
by Mr. Ramsey. The paper is a
three-column quarto, 9x12 inches.
At the top of the first column,
on the front page, in black-faced
type, are these words, "Published
Daily at 222 William St. Benj.
II. Pay, Printer." Then follows
the purpose of the publication
thus: "The object of this paper
is to lay before the public, at a
price within the means of every
one, all of the news of the day,
etc. The sheet will be enlarged
as soon as the increase of ad
vertisements requires it, the price
remaining the same." At the top
of the right-hand margin is the
"Price One Penny." The ad
vertising rate was quote: "Yearly
advertisers (without the paper),
thirty dollars per annum. Casual
advertisers, at the usual prices
charged by the city papers. Some
very unique advertisements and
quaint news items appear in the
paper.
The last column of the sheet is
headed "New York Hank Note
Table, Tuesday, Sept. 3." Then
follows a list of banks taken from
twenty-two states, giving the
names of banks and after them
their condition, thus, "broken,"
"uncertain," In the
state of Maine five banks are
named as broken, "Hath bank 10,
all other banks 12." In Vermont,
"all banks Yj." There is no ex
planation to the ratings, but the
presumption is that the bank
notes of the banks staled were
taken at the New York banks at
the prices stated; for instance,
the Vermont banks at 50 cents on
the dollar. Those were the days
of the wildcat bank, which our
fathers used to talk about.
Concerning the business con
ditions in the city, an item head
ed "llusiness of New Y'ork. Con
siderable business was transact
ed during the past month; more
than any month of August for
several years. The city is nearly
full of strangers from all parts
of I his country ami Europe. Many
hotels are tilled with strangers
ami in one no less than 1,795 en
tries of boarders were made on
its register during the past month,
making 54 per day."
