Thousands ot newspapers aro de-
ciding to print tUu truth ubout the
trusts. .v.i.
They have concludcd to glvo their
readers the power of knowledge.
Without knowledgo people aro help-
less.
It is the basU o£ our self-govern-
ment.
When wo know what to do we can
do it. It is a free country. The peo-
ple control everything.
All Power la, in the
Hands of the People.
No political party has power except
through the people.
No political party can act without
popular support.
It may do so, but that in suicide
—at the next election it loses Its
power. . .
Politlcnl parties have but to hoar
the verdict of the paop'.o to realize the
people's power.
Combinations ot capital aro equal.y
helpless
-they must yield to the people or
be crushed.
In these matters of meat, mllroad
tud insurance the power of reform is
in tho hands of the public.
The people liavo but to decide what
they want done and It will bo done
The power of the Prers
Belongs to the People.
"Publicity is tho cure for tho
trusts," the President h i - said,
—because when tho press gives the
facts to the public tho public will ex-
ercise its mighty power.
The press b-lori^J to tl.c p-bllc.
Tho peoplo who read the news-
papers and magazines control them.
Let the people cease to r ■■. 1 fry riv-
en publication and no matter how much
money its publisher has and how
much advertisers spend in it, its pow-
er is gone.
The people ire represent?! hy t.ie
press. 'They delegate their power to
Its columns when they undertake to
lave tt solve public qu -ttonsj, lor It
lust as much or more thau when the
public power is delegated to a mem-
ber of tho legislature or of Congress.
To secure the representation of the
public is the aim of every ambitious
publisher, lie Is representative of the
public just to the extent he has sub-
scribers, Just to the extent people
read h!s publication.
Getting Subscribers Is
Almost Like Getting Votes
It's about the same as getting votes.
A subscription is practically a vote
tor the policy of the publication. It
furnishes the cash with which to pub-
lish It furnishes the moral support
that lies ln the fact that people read
any given publication.
So the struggle Is for circulation.
The great giants ln publishing are
the city press. Millions ln money backs
tho enterprises of the city publisher.
He reaches out into the whole coun-
try for subscribers.
He makes his publication so inter-
esting that e-eryone wants to read it.
He gets public support two ways—
first he gets subscribers from districts
where previously the peoplo have
supported the local press solely. Then
he gets support from the city advertis-
ers who want the country trade—the
mall order houses, the whole long list
ot advertisers who are sapping the
country's cash and paying the city
publisher to help them do it.
He waxes wealthy and hires the
host writers in tho country and de-
rides to make his publications so in-
teresting that everybody will have to
read them. He stirs up public ques-
tions—goes after the meat trust tho
Insurance trust, the railroads, all the
vast enterprises which handle the
people's money and products and dis-
tribute and augment the people's pros-
perity, or vice versa, whichever way
you want to look at It.
The City Versus
The Cosntry
It's the saiae old story—creating
central control, bringing the people's
money into the cities to be handled
by the men who publish the maga-
zines and daily newspapers and who
aim to abolish the country store and
the country publisher by making it
impossible for them to compete just
cs the other trusts have centralized
fjther things, such as insurance and
cattle-killing and management of rail-
roads.
It's the City versus the country—
the non-producer versus the producer,
the middle man versus the end man—
the fellows who take control ct com-
modities and cash between the pro-
<iucer and tt consumer and adding
nothing to either commodities
or cash amass vast fortunef
for themselves. I-tat year tue
country's products were over twelve
billion dollars in value but tho farmer.
ttcd the other working people pot onlj
two billion dollars of this money. Whc
rot 4ie rest?
It'* the corrupt. Immoral, sensa
t'or.M. lawless, dirty and disease^
city versus the incorruptible, morn!
sober-minded, law-abiding, clean and
healthy country—and tl<p city has
tho best of it to dato.
Anfl tho city publisher Is gloating
over his millions of magazine and
newspaper circulation with which ho
is building up the city stores and
banks and wholesale houses and In-
surance companies through bringing
ths countryman's money and trade
into tho city Instead of letting It re-
main to prosper tuo countryman a
own community.
Aided and Abetted
By the Government
"Millions for postal service to dis-
tribute the city publications to tho
country people but not one dollar for
one ;ent postage," is the policy or tho
govt -nment—Democratic or Republi-
can. It makes no diiferenco, for the
el'y rnblifher has been getting his
little million dollar a week graft out
of the postal department under both
for years.
"Help tho city all you can," Is the
cry In Congress. "Crush the country-
man. Build up Chicago, St. Louis,
Now Yoili as jobbing ;ind manufactur-
ir™ and railroad and packing and
brewery and publishing centers. Don't
let. a single state have a wholesale
center of its own unless it's located
where it can help us politically. Regu-
late railroad rates to compel tho
whole country to buy everything from
these great political centers and to
send everything thero—wheat, cattle,
cotton, cash.
"Kill off the country merchant and
the country store. They interfere
with centralized control. Kill off tho
country banker. He keeps some of the
people's money at home. Kill off tho
country publisher. Ho appeals to u
free and Intelligent peoplo and has
power we must curb. Drlvo all gen-
eral advertisers to use only the big
city publications and let the mall
order advertiser got all the local trade
away from the country advertiser who
supports tho country newspaper.
Hurray for centralization. Tho coun-
try peoplo supply us with evorvthlnc
we eat and wear and now let's mako
'em supply all our cash and buy noth-
ing except what's advertised ln our
publications."
That's the Cry " |i
of the City
That's the cry of the city—the hun-
gry, sensual, wicked, selfish, lazy,
cruel, cursed city that takes our young
peoplo and converts them into dis-
ciples of mammon, Into non-religious,
non-virtuous, non-intelligent support-
ers of city systems of graft and greed
and now wants to take all our other
possessions, including our independ-
ence of thought.
And the city publisher goes about
It shrewdly.
He publishes what looks at the first
glance to be honest articles, setting
forth the facts about "Frenzied
Finance" and meat methods and rail-
roading and private car system and
insurance scandals, but which aro
really inspired by motives that will
not bear analysis. The plausibility
of these articles Is their shrewdest
point.
They look exactly as if they were
written "For the Common Good," but
they should all be labeled "Central-
ize Everything in the Cities." From
rate legislation to packing house ex-
posures they all aim to create condi-
tions that will compel all business to
be done ln great cities by great trusts.
The local butcher can't kill cattle un-
der government inspection, the coun-
try store can't sell goods in competi-
tion with the city mail order house
and the ordinary jobber in any state
center can't compete with the jobbai
in big cities that aro favored by the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
rate legislation.
But when the country newspapers
band together and emloy men of tal-
ent to write regarding great oubjocts.
men who will give the facts and let
the people judge for themselves, .hen
tho country publisher protects lUm-
nc-if and his patrons. This Is exactly
what thousands of them are doing.
They are combining to have tho truth
brought out regarding the trusts and
thus putting their readers in position
to enact legislation that will safe-
