A MUzzLED PRESS.
Pitiable Spectacle Presented by Philadel-
phia Newspapers.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. S.-The contest for
the United States senatorshipis becoming
very interesting Perhaps the most con.
spcuous feature of the campaign, so far as
Philadelphia is concerned, is the unblush-
ing manner in which the press of the city
has been muzzled through tho candidacy
of Mr.. John Wanamaker The boasted
liberty of the press, so far as this city is
concerned, is II myth. 1t is the most de-
grading incident that has been witnessed
in the journalism of Philadelphia for half
u century. For the first time in that pc
riod the policy of the newspapers of the
metropolis of the state of PENNSYLVANIA Is
being directed from the counting room
and the business departments of the news
papers, and not by the untrammeled judg
ment of the editors. 1t is an open secret
that John Wanamaker is the heaviest ad-
vertiser in the city, and that he expends
hundreds of thousands of dollars year in
advertising in the newspapers in Philadel-
! phia. This Is the secret power that causes
the journals to lose their self respect, and
| compels them to cease to be newspapers in
the real sense of the word.
| In fact, the fiat has gone forth that con-
| tinued advertising patronage depends
upon the treatment accorded Mr.. Wana-
makers candidacy for the United States
senate, and it has made itself felt with all
the force of direct command in every
newspaper Office in the city. 1t is well
! known that Mr.. Wanamaker, besides be-
| ing successful business man, is strict
| disciplinarian, and the proprietors of
newspapers who have incurred his dis
! pleasure in the past have been punished in
a manner that they are likely to remember,
Less than year ago The Ledger was dis
| ciplined and for several months the readers
of that reliable and old established journal
were compelled to forego. the pleasure of
reading of the great reduction in the price
| of calico and the wonderful cut rates that
prevailed at the collar button counter.
| Within the last two years The Inquirer
has lost many pages of advertising for
daring to think in a different manner
from Mr.. Wanamaker, and The Record at
one time, so incurred the dry goods man S
displeasure as to be put on the waiting
list for three years. The proprietors OF
The Inquirer, Ledger and Record, besides
being numbered among the most re-
spected citizens of Philadelphia, are mill
ionaires enjoying munitlcent incomes
and it seems almost incredible that they
should take orders from the counting
room. 1t has been whispered about town
however, and never denied, that Mr.
Wanamaker recently sent for the proprie-
tors of the morning papers and had con
ference with them, during the course Of
which it is assumed that the senatorshiI
was incidentally mentioned.
