cncc of thought
And the city publisher goes about
II Hhrcwdly.
He publishes what looks at the first
glance to be honest articles. setting
forth the facts about "Frvnz!cd
Finance" and meat methods and rail.
reading and private car system and
insurance scandals, but which arc
really inspired by motives thas VIII
not bear analysis. The plauNbility
of these articles is their shrowdcst
point.
They look exactly rs II they were
written For the Common Good" but
they should all be labeled Central.
izc Everything in the Cities" From
rate legislation to packing houge ex.
posurcs they all aim to create eondi.
tons that will compel all BUSINESS TO
be done in great cities by great trusts.
The local butcher can't kill cattle un-
der government inspection. the coun.
try store can't sell goods in cornpeti.
ton with the city mail order mouse
and the ordinary jobber in any state
center can't compete with tho jobbor
in big cities that are favored ~ the
Interstate Commerce Commlssiah and
rate legislation.
But when the country newspapers
band together and enjoy men " tai.
ent to write regarding great subjects.
men who will give the facts AID let
the people Judge for themselves. .heh
the country publisher protects him
self and his patrons. This is e:actiy
what thousands of them are Joing.
They are combining to have the truth
brought out regarding the trusts and
thus putting their readers in position
to enact legislation that will safe
guard the country against the attacks
of the city and the city's publishers
and politicians.
Thus the country puvlitIIr IL as.
serting himself and will be able TO win
in the struggle for his own existence
and that of his patrons-the country
.storekeeper, farmer, cattleraiser and
banker. IN
The publication of the facts regard

railroads and rates. private cars and
fruit, vegetable and beef distribution.
insurance and "Frenzied Finance"
will place the great country people.
