The money power having secured a
great majority Of the press, it looks
now that a long struggle for MASTER

The important question is, By what
means can the misled voters be made
to see the cause of their suffering, see
ing the money power has seized tie

the people to believe their false state
ments truthful? What stupendous
shame that a people calling them

year actually boast of voting for plu-
tocracy that is pauperizing them!

populism. There are radical differ

which must necessarily exercise GER

bitterly They demand the collective

ton and distribution, with democratic
management OF them by the workers
engaged in the various industries
whatever that may mean But they
will have none OF public ownership as
the populists demand it.

Editor Independent: When In 1892
/ abandoned my old party affiliatiun
with the dominant political party of
the south, and cast my fortunes with
the peoples party, did SO with
clear understanding Of the necessity
for my action. and an implicit bel IF
in the principles and policies that
were set forth in what is known as
the Omaha platform, as the best mels-
ures to relieve the onerous burdens
from which the people Of our country
were oppressed, and which, i be-
lieved, should be enacted into laws.
Through all the trials and tribula-
tons that have in the course of events
befallen the peoples party, from
whatever cause, it has never occurf ed
to me to doubt that these same prin-
ciples were as equitable and just new
as they were on July A, 1892. This

A State Newspaper.

Editor Independent: Each state of
the Union needs state newspaper, is
sued weekly, save when the legislature
is in session, when it should be daily.
1t wants no editor in the ordinary
sense of the word. The people them
selves are to do the writing and the
state is to print and issue the paper
to its voters and taxpayers free.
The paper is needed to get at the
will of the people in the making OF
laws A man can read through and
through every paper of state, and
find that after all he has been cheated
of a knowledge of all the bills that
have been introduced in his legisla-
ture. Often he finds his first knOwl-
edge of them is after they have passed
both houses, or after his governor has
signed them.
The state paper would require an
outline of all the bills at least six
months before they were introduced.
Then the peoples opinion OF them
could be given-pre and cOn-tO the
extent of 400 words in each instance.
Then the immense number Of bills
that are sought to be rushed through
unbeknOwn to the people will have the
light of day and of public opinion on
them
AS publicity is said to be good
thing for the trusts, SO it would be
good for legislation. Frauds Of many
kinds would not dare to raise their
heads.
The state paper would thus finally
prepare the voters to vote intelligent
ly under the establishment of the ref
erendum; but, OF course, IL would head
off much unwise legislation in the
first place, and save time, money and
| trouble.
We have long since found out that
we can make no calculations on our
| legislators. After they take their
seats too many influences surround
| them to allow them to carry out any
particular promises they may have
| made.
| The intelligence of the people would
be respected and honored by state
newspaper. Inc real wisdom of the
country would then be shot forth from
its obscurity, and Legislators, con-
fronted by it at their posts, would
| find it necessary to heed it,
The most generous of the newspa-
pers can by no possibility do justice
to the people in eniightening them or
legislative matters. Taxpayers can gel
their money back tenfold in state
| newspaper.
1 1t is not state socialist paper. L
is a paper purely 'of the people," Thu
editors would be merely allowed t
give the outlines of all bills and b.
whom introduced, and attend to thu
general arrangement of the paper. AL
the details can be SO arranged that thu
people will run no risk whatever o
being cheated in their aim.
All volunteer writer's for the pres
should hail this proposal as one di
rectly in their line. and | especial.
commend IL to the American Pres
Writers association as one that cal
be made monument to their move
ment.
