The Sydney Monitor responds to the Sydney Herald's statement that the Monitor, after briefly publishing as a daily newspaper, was 'forced to revert to the old days of publication [i.e. three times per week] at the commencement of the present year'.

The Monitor claims that the Herald's use of the expression 'forced to revert' indicates a desire to 'speak invidiously' of the Monitor. The Monitor column goes on to enumerate the ways in which it has previously found fault with the Herald and consequently suspects the Herald's motives. The Monitor then continues its campaign against what it sees as the dubious moral judgement of the Herald's proprietors.
