FALSEHOOD AND HEARTLESsNEsS OF
PLUTOCRATIC JOURNALISM.

The Kansas City Star of November
Is, 1894, contained one of the most
cold-blooded and hesrtless editorials
that it has been our fortune to see for
many a day. That the reader may
fully realize its import we give it
here entire, together with a few facts
such as seldom find a place in the
columns Of the Star. The editorial
is headed "a Tiresome Fake" and is
as follows:
About once every two or three months

of work, as Treasurer Wilder Of the
Santa Fe railroad SO generously pro-
posed to the id men Of Topeka, but
at rate OF not less than $3.50 for
eight hours Of labor.
Now think for a moment just how
this plan differs from that now in so
great favor. What do the people do
now il they hsYe a bridge or a court
house TO build or any other public
improvement TO make! They call an
election and vote bonds for the pur-
pose. These bonds bear interest at
6 per cent. or more. They are put
upon the market and are purchased
by capitalists who are seeking in
vestments that will enable them to
live without work. The people pay
this interest from year to year and
finally the principal; and the annual
interest charge is a constant drain
upon the resources of the people for
which there IS no return whatever.
It goes to swell the already enormous
fortunes Of the money lenders. An
other popularity about it is that such
bonds add nothing to the volume of
our currency.
Now what does Coxey's plan pro-
pose4 Instead of bonds bearing in
terest it proposes bonds without IN
terest. Instead Of selling these bonds
to bankers and capitalists for their
personal profit, it proposes to sell
them to the government. Instead Of
receiving for them money already in
existence, it proposes that new money
be printed and added to the circuls-
tion. Instead Of paying upon these
bonds 6 per cent. interest or more
every year, it proposes to pay 4 per
cent. upon the principal, which would
cancel the bonds in twenty five years
with less taxation than is required
to pay the interest under the present
system. It further actually assumes
that government Is under some obli-
cations "to provide for the general
welfare" and that men who are now
in enforced idleness shall be given
work that will enable them to live
and feed and clothe their families.
This, Of course, is paternslism, but it
differs go widely from the kind of pa
ternalism that proposes that the gov
eminent shall give the money to the
bankers to be loaned by them to the
people, that it is only worthy Of ridi-
cule. It is not worthy to be ex-
planned to the people or to receive
any serious or thoughtful considers-
ton at all. This is Ooxey's plan.
