THE BLETHEN.LOWR SUIT.

A DETERMINED EFFORT OF PLU
TOCRACY TO CONTROL EVERY
NEWSPAPER IN THE COUNTRY.
Mr.. Blethen on the witness stand last
Tuesday, in his famous suit against
Thos Lowry, said that Mr.. Lowry want
ed in 1889 to purchase the St. Paul Globe
and the Minneapolis Tribune so that the
papers would be made to favor his street
railway interests. There is nothing i'm
moral in this, nor, under the present sys-
TEN, can it be charged that there was
anything dishonorable beyond an inor-
dinate grasping after power. 1t showed
conclusively, however, how these monOp-
lists seek to obtain control Of the public
press so that the voice of the people may
not be heard. Mr.. Lowry may have had
the idea that he knew better than the
people what was for the peoples inter-
ests, and that he may have sincerely
thought that promoting his own interests
was the surest and best way to promote
these, but the principle is dangerous. 1t
is the control of the press of this country
today by the money kings and the mo-
nopolists which exposes it's ruin. See
how the control of the money kings over
the press was manifested during the few
months of agitation preceding the repeal
of the Sherman law. All political lines
vanished as if by command, and Demo-
cratic and Republican papers alike called
for the repeal. They all used the same
arguments. They all commenced the ag-
itation at the same time. This is dan
gcrous condition and calls for vigilance
on the part of the people. The people
can save the republic. Study this
Blethen-L Lowry suit and learn from the
testimonWof typical men of the Glasses
of this republic, the tremendous effort
made and making, to control every paper
in the country. We of this generation
are engaged in relentless battle with
monopoly. We should look the fact in
the face. We should accept the situa-
ton, life the gauntlet and begin in holy
earnest to not only defend the rights be-
queathed to us, but to assert and obtain
the rights which an expanding ethical
vision has discovered for mankind-Pro-
gressive Age.

each one do his whole duty-if we. are a

and traitors to our nation who sell our

golden image, and humiliation and shame

manded, and on our shoulders rests the
sacred work.
