OF the postal department under both
for years.
Help the city all you can," is the
cry in Congress. Crush the country
man. Build up Chicago, St. Louis,
New York as jobbing and manufacture
ing and railroad and packing and
brewery and publishing centers. Don't
let a single state have a wholesale
| center Of it's own unless it's located
where it can help us politically Regu-
late railroad rates to compel the
whole country to buy everything from
these great political centers and to
send everything there-Wheat, cattle,
cotton, cash.
Kill off the country merchant and
the country store. They interfere
! with centralized control Kill off the
country banker. He keeps some Of the
peoples money at home. Kill off the
country publisher. He appeals to a
! free and intelligent people and has
power we must curb. Drive all gen
eral advertisers to use only the big
city publications and let the mail
order advertiser get all the local trade
away from the country advertiser who
supports the. country newspaper.
| Murray for Capitalization. The coun-
try people supply us with everything
we eat and wear and now let's make
'em supply all our cashs and buy moth
ing except what's advertised in our
publications.
That's the Cry
Of the City
That's the cry of the city-the hun
CRY, sensual. wicked, selfish, lazy,
cruel, cursed city that takes our young
people and converts them into dis
ciples of mammon, into, non-religious,
ers Of city systems of graft and greed
and now wants to take all our other
1 possessions, including our independ-
ence Of thought.
And the city publisher goes about
it. shreWdly.
He publishes what looks at the first
glance to be honest articles, setting
forth the facts about "Frenzied
Finance" and meat methods and rail
/ reading and private car system and
insurance scandals, but which are
I really inspired by motives that will
not bear analysts The pIausfbility
of these articles is their shreWdest
point
+ They look exactly as If they were
1 written .For the Common Good. but
they should all be labeled Central
ize Everything IN the Cities" From
q rate legislation to packing house ex
S posures they all aim to create condi
tons that will compel all business to
a be done in great cities by great trusts
q The local butcher cant kill cattle un
der government inspection, the coun
try store can't sell goods in competi
ton with the city mail order house
and the ordinary jobber in any state
center can't compete with the jobbel
in big cities that are favored by the
Interstate Commerce Commission anG
rate legislation.
But when the country newspapers
band together and enjoy men of tai
ent to write regarding great subjects
men who will give the facts and LEI
!, the people Judge for themselves. she1
the country publisher protects him
self and his patrons. This is exactl,
what thousands of them are doing
They are combining to have the trutl
brought out regarding the trusts ant
, thus putting their readers in position
/ to enact legislation that will safe
guard the country against the attack
of the city and the city's publisher
and politicians.
