FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
A Bill Before Congress Which Means
Much to Publishers.

There is now In the hands of the
house committee on postofines and
postroads measure of extraordinary
character, introduced last summer by
Congressman Weadock of Michigan.
The bill purports to amend and re-en-
act section 5,s77 of the revised statutes.
This is the section which defines
second class mail matter, that is to
say, all printed newspapers and other
periodicals regularly issued at stated
periods from known Office of publica-
ton. The Weadock bill adds to the
existing definition the following pro-
vision:
ANY newspaper or other matter Of
the second class which advises, abets
or suggests the commission of any Of
fence against any law of the United
States, or any state or territory, or
any country with which we are at
peace, shall be excluded from the
mails"
Congressman Weadock is democrat
and an Irishman born. We suppose
his bill was intended to prevent the
dissemination through the mails of
dangerous anarchist literature. It's
effect, however, would be to establish a
censorship not only repugnant to
American ideas, but also violative
OF the first amendment of the consti-
tuition, which provides that Congress
shall make no law abridging the free
dom of the press" The freedom of
the press would not necessarily be
abridged by law excluding from the
mails newspapers which advise, abet
or suggest the commission of serious
offences against the laws of the United
States or of the states or territories.
Whatever may &c thought of the
impOlicy of such a system of censor
ship, or of its possibilities of mis-
chievous and oppressive misues, the
section of the revised statutes, for ex-
ample, which excludes from the mails
periodicals publishing obscene matter
can not be held to abridge the freedom
of the press, and therefore to be I'M
constitutional. But to deny, as
Weadock would deny, the privileges of
the postofice to any journal which
shall at any time advise or suggest the
commission of any offence against any
law of any country with which we are
at peace is so clearly unconstitutional
that no argument is needed on the
question. Legislators who try their
hand at establishing in this country
any sort of press censorship, no mat
ter how we'll intended, usually makes
themselves ridiculous when they come
to specifications.-Ne York Sun.

The Minneapolis Tribune to off set
the wonderful gain of 600, 900 votes
which it now admits the Peoples
Party made in two years has the fol-
lowing to say:
But the proba bility of continuing
such percentage of gain is as tenu.
GUS as most of the Populist theories
There is much less significance in a
large percentage of gain by a new
and small party than our Populist
friends imagine. If a newspaper
starts out with one subscriber and
gains another, it circulation has in
creased 100 per cent at the same
time it has not received no positive ad-
dition. A gain of 600 900 votes in
great country of about 10000 900 in
habitants is mere bagatelle; it cuts
very little figure 1t shows up we'll
in the vote of a party that had only a
million votes all told in 1892, but as
positive gain it is not important. Six
hundred thousand votes might be
taken off or added to the aggregate
of republican ballots without produc.
ing any more effect upon the aveage
results than single fly bite produces
upon cheese.
The returns are not in sufficiently
for US to note what changes 600, 900
taken from the republican vote would
have had this year. Buta few figures
on the election of 1892 as to the eject
6OO 900 taken from the democratic or
Populist column and added to the re-
publican column would have had.

PARTY.
ARE YOU AN HONEST MAN?

Then Join the Party OF the Common
People and Let Us Work Together
We believe the voters of both old
parties are honest and will not be
found voting with dishonest parties
any longer than the time when they
learn the truth.
The Peoples party has heretofore
been largely built up from the repub
lican party. That party being in
power its dishonesty was more ap-
parent than that OF the democratic.
But now that the democratic party
has had chance and its lead
ers have shown themselves even
worse than the republican lead
erS the people are leaving
it Honest men will not longer vote
the ticket and they know that the re-
publican party is against the people,
SO that they can not honestly turn
any way except toward the new party
of the common people.
The Peoples party has no prejudice
or grudge against q man for having
voted with party that he thought
would serve tie interests of the peo-
pie. But now that he knows the true
disposition Of democracy, If he does
not cut loose from it. he deserves not
even sympathy in his misery.

for this; you reap the reward yonr-
self, and we shall all be benefited
together. 1t is as much to your in
terest as to ours that you should join
us If you are not honestly seeking
the good of the whole people, you are
not worthy of our consideration.
The general good is the object of
the Peoples party. Ifyou are an Of
fee hunter, better stay IN the old
party little longer, until you be-
come humble enough to accept a
place in the ranks as a worker.

will make officials Of some Of them, of
course, but il we could secure the en-
actment and enforcement of the

These resolutions are all right but
''resoluting" without voting is use
less.
The proper thing for the members
Of that congress who favor the restora-

party that favors the free and I'M

Notes by the Way.

Amt these royal times?
LANDsLIDEs always go down hill.
Is the bankers fat better than gov
eminent fat.
ONLY traitors hate greenbacks issued
by the government.
No; THE Baltimore plan is not pater-
nal. 1t is simply Internal.
THE Presidents recommendations
were all for plutocracy's interests.
WHERE will America dump" her sill
yer, when the Baltimore plan is
adopted.
THE Peoples papers are the educa-
tors. You should help increase their
circulation.
YES; the two old parties are still en-
mies-common enemies of the COM
mon people.
WHAT would be the ''intrinsic value"
of the kind of money proposed in the
Baltimore plan.
1T costs Uncle Sam a hundred mill
ion dollars a year TO maintain his
''creditN with the bakers.
Now THE bankers want the green
back destroyed to secure the parity of
bank notes, bonds and gold.
Will the people consent to destroy
the kind of moSsy that put down the
rebellion, and allow rebel bankers to
issue the money?
THE way to bring greater prosperity
to the bankers is for congress to adopt
the Baltimore plan. The way to bring
prosperity to the whole people is to
abolish the present banking system,
issue more Legal tender government
paper money and institute government
banks.

Some time ago we published an an

At the time we placed very little
confidence in the story, but since then
Mr. Gordon Clark Of Washington, who

which England has been waging
