From an industrial standpoint the

that the two great industries Of the
island, sugar and tobacco growing, have

wrought during the long years of the
struggle for independence, when every
mill, and practically every plantation
and railroad, was destroyed, but the

GOVERNMENT BY NEWSPAPERS

It is a we'll recognized fact that
public opinion is the governing power
in a republic. And as the newspaper
is the organ of public intelligence it
necessarily follows that it's power as
a. factor in the molding OF our laws
is very great through giving direction
to thought and influencing opinion
among it's millions of readers. En-
dowed with power for good or evil
beyond that possessed by any other
agency in social life the character of
the newspapers to which our support
shall be given becomes a question
of the first magnitude from the stand
point of morals, patriotism, our high
est ideals and most deep seated as
pirations as individuals and citizens
This calls for the exercise of the high
ast intelligence and most critical dis
cr;mination in the individual making
tbe selection of an influence to which
he submits himself and his family.

The railroads don't refuse to pay
their taxes because of considering
their assessment too high, but because

just proportion of taxes for the sup
port of the government.

Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely
in his report to be submitted to the
incoming congress says that the saw
ings of the people during the past
year were simply marvellous, showing
an increase over the preceding year
of $900,000,000. This is another vim
dication of the claims of the bimetal
lists of ten years ago. They were
bimetallists because the money sup
ply was insufficient to sustain prices.
They were not bimetallists because of
any affection for silver as metal,
or because they liked white money
better than yellow money. The de-
mand was for more money so that
the money supply would be adequate
to sustain prices and enable men to
prosecute legitimate enterprises with
safety, which could not be done under
diminishing money supply and it's

1896 are found today reiterating the
senseless twaddle that served the
place of argument in the heat of that
campaign. And what is most pitiable
about it is that the men who slurring
ly belittle the arguments of the bimet
allists are unconscious of the humil-
iation they bring upon themselves by
an exhibition of ignorance from which
they would hide their heads in shame
if they possessed the least enlighten-
ment whatever upon the subject.
During the past nine years gold has
undergone a continuous and rapid de-
probation, which has added a cores
ponding stimulus to production and
consumption through constantly ad-
vancing prices Debts have been made
easy to pay through the partial re-
pudiation of them resulting from the
depreciation of gold And the rise in
prices has in a measure counterbal-
anced errors in business judgment and
rendered solvent many business enter
prises which otherwise must have re-
suited disastrously to those engaging
in them.
One thing, however, which must be
borne in mind is that the increase in
money supply must become greater
and still greater each succeeding year
in order to even sustain the present
price levels because of the already
greatly reduced purchasing power of
gold and the rapid rate at which pop
ulation and wealth are expanding.
The promise, however, of an adequate
money supply appears to be good for
some time to come But it is not too
soon for our people to recognize that
the end cannot be many years off,
when we will be again confronted with
the necessity of intelligent political
action on the money question il we
are to avert a crisis in the business
affairs of the country that may prove
as disastrous as it is unnecessary.
When that day arrives the silver ques-
ton may again reappear with more
vitality than ever before and silver
may then become the means OF saving
from utter ruin many of those who,
in the past, have so ignorantly decried
# Tn the meantime the thing to be
avoided in order to postpone the COM
ing of the evil day is to prevent re-
turn to panic breeding wildcat cur
rencv which the bankers of the east
are now clamoring for the privilege
of issuing.

will SO discriminate in their patron
age of the press that only such papers
as honestly seek the public good will
receive the support of intelligent men
who have no axes to grind at the
expense of the public veal.
There are many things that sub
ject the public to imposition through
the press that are Of nature that
readily escape suspicion. For in
stance, the agricultural paper that is
found so helpful to the farmer and
his wife is generally non-partisan in
politics, as is also the religious paper
that contains SO much Of elevating
spiritual food that it finds secure
place in the affections of the family.
1t is just such papers as these that
are not infrequently employed to mold
opinion favorable to the ends of greed
by crafty and designing men, When
such agencies are employed the mat
ter is prepared by press agents in
the employ of the railroads or of the
banks or whatever influence is seek
ing to manipulate opinion favorable
to their particular scheme of plunder,
and the articles, from which every
tinge of partisanship is carefully ex-
cluded, are ingeniously prepared by
high salaried writer's who make their
arguments appear SO plausible that
the Impressions they are seeking to
make seem to the unwary reader as
the only reasonable view to take of
the matter.
These articles are sent to the press
with request for their publication.
They appear so innocent and harmless
that many publishers of agricultural
and religious papers fall into the trap
and insert them in their columns free
of charge, while others detecting their
sinister purpose, consigr them to the
waste basket without comment as
such is not in their line. There are
other publishers, however, who are
less innocent and less scrupuous who
publish the articles thus furnished as
their own views and charge and col
lect for the same many times the
price charged for the same amount of
space when used for legitimate adver-
tisements Thus non-political papers
often prove to be the most insidious
means employed by trusts and monop-
olies to create opinion favorable to
their interests.
With the growth of the rural free
delivery system the newspaper as
factor in public affairs assumes addi-
tional importance and warns the pub
lie of a growing power that deserves
attention. Remembering that univer
sal suffrage puts us all under bonds
to each other to see to it that cor
rect ideas prevail touching public
questions, it becomes our duty to use
our influence to the utmost to secure
readers for such papers as fight our
battles in the arena of public debate.
Bearing in mind always that our
neighbors will certainly read some

be small. The value of a good news
paper can be computed in dollars
or cents. It's influence may reach so
deep into the lives of its readers as
to outreach any such paltry consider
alton. While on the other hand a
bad newspaper is to be avoided as
we would avoid a pestilence.
From a moral standpoint the con-
duct of a newspaper is the highest
calling to which any man may aspire.
And as an honest man is said to be
the noblest work of God, an honest
newspaper is most certainly the
noblest work of man.
The making of newspaper involves
a responsibility not to be lightly as
sumed by the conscientious, but
which we regret the necessity of ad-
mitting is altogether too freely under
taken by the reckless. Thus, while
there are many newspapers that rep
resent only good and enobling infiu-
ences, there are unfortunately too
many that cater to popular error, in
different to every consideration of
morality and decency, regarding dol
largs and cents as the sole standard
and measure Of success. Then again
many of the newspapers are either
owned outright Or controlled through
patronage of their advertising columns
by special interests which prosper
our cities, states and of the nation.
So that, influences of every sort be-
ing represented in the public press,
the individual is compelled to exercise
discrimination of a high order in the
selection of the newspapers that are
made daily or weekly visitors in his
home and give direction to thought
and influence opinion in his house
hold.
Newspapers are increasing in num-
bers and influence with the advance
of time The number of newspapers
that find their way into given num-
Der of homes have shown constant
Increase during a number of years,
and the number is being greatly aug
mented from year to year. The in
fluence eXerted by the newspaper over
the thoughts and actions of our peo-
pie, and over the institutions and laws
under which we live cannot easily
be overestimated. AS the constant
dripping of water wears away the
stone upon which it falls, so does the
constant repetition of suggestions and
arguments modify if not actually mold
the opinions of the readers of news
papers.
1t is said that the most positive and
universal characteristic of man is in
tellectual Incidence. Ii this be true,
and there is much evidence to prove
that it is, then there is ground for
the charge that is brought against man
in these latter days that he buys his
ideas ready made after the manner
that he buys his hats and shoes. At
any rate there is abundant evidence
that the men who are most success

census bureau now amounts to $106,
SS1,415,0OO, an increase Of over eigh-
teen billions in five years. But 1t
must be borne in mind that these
figures do not imply that the actual
wealth has increased in the ratio in
dicated by the above figures which are
money values. The depreciation in
the value, or purchasing power of
money accounts for considerable por-
ton of the increase in the figures.

The Independent voter was in evi-

lature favorable to the candidacy OF
