He was born on July 2, 1855, in Boston, Massachussets, the son of Henry and Elana (Noyes) Barron.
Barron graduated from Boston English high school in 1873.
While attending the English High School he decided to be a newspaper man, and at fifteen he began to practise shorthand under a court reporter. In 1875 his command of shorthand won for him a steady job on the Evening Transcript; later he established the paper's financial section. In 1887 he launched his first publishing venture - the Boston News Bureau. At first this service consisted merely of bulletins hastily printed and delivered by special messengers in the financial district. In time the bulletins became more formal: articles grouped on large sheets. By degrees a daily newspaper was born which developed into "the financial Bible of New England. "
For fifteen years Barron remained a Boston figure, keenly interested in whatever interested Bostonians, especially the new developments of street railways, electrical manufacturing, and telephone communications. As the financial leadership of Boston was challenged by other cities, Barron extended his field. In 1895 he founded the Philadelphia Financial News. In 1902 he took over the twenty-year-old Wall Street Journal, published by Dow, Jones & Company both morning and evening, and significant because Dow, Jones operated a ticker service essential to the Street's rapid functioning.
Then in 1921 Barron founded Barron's, the National Financial Weekly. Because of family and other compacts Barron's legal relationship to these various properties varied. At his death in 1928 he was editor of Barron's Weekly, president of Dow, Jones & Company, publisher of the Wall Street Journal, and manager of the Boston News Bureau and the Philadelphia News Bureau (previously the Philadelphia Financial News). But regardless of official position, he was the driving life of each publication. Between 1893 and 1922 Barron wrote several books and pamphlets on financial and reconstruction problems. They include The Boston Stock Exchange (1893), The Federal Reserve Act (1914), The Audacious War (1915), The Mexican Problem (1917), War Finance (1919), and A World Remaking (1920). He was always a little contemptuous of book authorship, however, and his best writing appears in news and editorial articles. Jolly, dynamic, and religious (Swedenborgian), he stressed journalism as service to society.
Aside from journalism he made only one direct major effort to influence public life. In 1921 he fathered a plan to speed reparations payments by means of internationally tax-free bonds, and he discussed his system confidentially with prominent statesmen and financiers in the United States and elsewhere. He left behind him at his death a huge body of notes expanded from short-hand records of conversations with those he met in business and politics. These notes, edited and arranged, were published serially in the Saturday Evening Post and then in two volumes, They Told Barron (1930) and More They Told Barron (1931). The first volume is source material on the recklessly flung millions of the twenties. The second volume, earlier notes discovered later, illuminates the beginnings of big business along the Atlantic seaboard. Barron emerges from these books as a candid reporter eager to reveal "The truth in its proper use" - slogan of the Wall Street Journal.
