Established in 1S48, as an advocate Of anti
slavery and of reforms in religion and politics,
The Independent at once become recogniz-
ed power throughout the country. It's in
huence has ever since been constantly grow
ing. AS it has fought against slavery and for
cheap postage so it will fight against Nor
monism, for Civil Service Reform, and for
purity in politics, and general uprightness in
all things. 1t employs the best editorial
talent, and speaks feariessly on all subjects.
1t pays for contributed articles and for edi-
torial services more than double the anseunt
paid by any other weekly newspaper.
1t publishes more religious discussions than
the religious reviews, more poetry and stories
than the popular monthlies, and gives more
information than an annual cyclop@dia. The
long cable dispatches recently published from
the great Methdist Council in London are a
good illustration of what The Independent is
constantly doing. A list of the most promi-
nent religious and philosophical writers, poets
and story writers in the country is the list of
the contributors of The Independent. Besides
the space set aside for these writers and for
editorials, there are twenty-five distinct de-
partments, edited by twenty-five specialists
which include Biblical Research, Sanitary,
Legal, Fine Arts, Music, Science, Pebbles
Personalities, Ministerial Register Hymn
Notes, School and College, Literature, Re-
ligious Intelligence Missions, Sunday School,
News of the Week, Finance, Commerce, In
surance, Stories, Puzzles and Agriculture
Thirty-two pages in all.
