HEARST AND AMERICAN PEOPLE.

taneOusly in his three newspapers, differing
only in the personalities it INDUCES and
grandioquently addressed TO the American people,
has been on the market long enough to enable judg-
ment OF its effect
Alter It appeared in New York, the American peo-
pie stopped their subscriptions and refused to receive
his paper from the carriers when it was offered free
They excluded it from their houses and places of
business. Then Hearst had his paper wrapped like
parcel OF merchandise and delivered by special mes
sengers. This plan failed. One of the American peo-
ple in New York Investigated the subject, and in
public communication said: They have prepared
thousands OF copies done up in this leave
at every house, store and office. Nearly every Amer-
can District Telegraph messenger office in the city
has thousands so prepared, with orders
distribute. This looks as if the yellow was on its
last legs"
Ladies sent to other papers like letters
mothers against this sinister plan to sneak Hearsts
paper into families of the American people Clubs,
composed of the American people, excluded it from
their rooms and entered order suspending for a
month any member who brought it within their
rooms read II there In the street ladies
fused TO occupy seats alongside of men who were
reading Hearsts papers, giving their reasons to be
heard by all the passengers. In the
readers threw the sheet OF the window and apollo
the crowd OF passengers.
In his proclamation to the American people Hearst
asked the question, who hate the Examiner in Chi
cago the American, ard in New York the Journal
and answered it. Those whom it has fought and
those who have been hurt in the newspaper business
by success which is a rebuke to incapacity
and in infurating provocaton to envy and jealousy
Judged by their denunciatons of Hearst and his
papers, he has fought majority OF the clergy of the
United States and the presidents of colleges and uni
versities He has fought Archbishop Riordan of this
city, bishops and clergy of the Episcopal and Metho-
dist churches the pastors of all the churches governed
by the presbytery, and all the churches that have
congregational government, for they have joined in
expressing the hatred that good men feel for him and
his style of journalism. Then he has fought the c. A.
R, for its sentiments expressed in national
memorial which said of him he is Judas with the
addition OF disguise and modern enterprise His
seeds OF murder hate and anarchy fructy into crimes
like the assassination of President Mckinley" He
has fought the thousands of club organizations and
commercial bodies which have outlawed his papers
and the hundreds of thousands of men and women
who join the Rev. George Francis Whittemore in
saying: who for gain tempts to crime let his
be anathema"
In his proclamation ito the American people
Hearst that in the future as the past his
papers will be human and animated and entertain
ing" ndulgng "the light word and funny picture;
and protests that is all he has DONE and all that makes
people stop his paper, outlaw and exclude it. refuse
information to his unfortunate reporters, and even
order from their doorsteps district messenger BOYS
who try to deliver it wrapped up like linen from the
laundry
He is right His idea of being human and enter
taning and the light and funny picture is in issue
It was to be human and entertaining that he used

eide between conservative remedies now and desper

great changes have all from discomfort and you
should be, in many ways as possible, breeder o.
discomfort among the human beings around you
eThe time of dissolution is at hand Twenty corpora
tons own the President and virtually exercise the
functions Of government. SO what we hear thai
this republic is in danger now, just remember what
short time intervened between the King (o France)
alive and drinking and the King dead and the peas
ants all eating "-"McKinley plays the coward anc
shivers wfte-faced He makes an international cu
Of his country; he is an abject weak, futile incom
petent potroon. He is therefore, the most despisec
and hated creature in the hemisphere"
These eight words" and human and entertaining
sentiments were illustrated by Mr.. Hearsts idea o
funny pictures representing the President idotcaly
applauding the starving and murder of the common
people, Or a negro minstrel, singing coon songs
Really, Mr. Hearst is too human and entertaining il
his way and funny after his idea for the American
people They believe him to be blackguard, an en-
venomed pervert and degenerate, and his papers un
to enter decent family, club place of business
That to be the only difference at present ex
isting between Hearst and the American people.
