The secretary has thrown his entire influence against the state
in the controversy. . .
Not only did he and his side Solicitor McCabe provide wit

pairing food poductshe positively ordered Dr. Wiley not to tes

Finally the district courts of the United States took hand
and ordered Wiley to give his testimony.
The result shown the following extract from the report IN
the case.

DEPARTMENT MADE LAWS.

Over decade ago. under the mistaken belief that the trans
pOraon of newspapers and periodicals through the mails caused
great loss to the government officials of the poofce depart
men started campaign for restricted circulation OF the public
press and for this purpose demanded Of an increase OF
the postage rate adopted code of laws exraneous to the laws
passed by congress- and enforced them with the help Of small
army Of inspectors and secret sar-chamber court
In the of of phenomenal revolutionary fermen
and its aftermath from December 1906 to October H. 1911
the Russian authorities conscaed issues Of newspapers and pc
rodicas in 1865 cases.
In 1888 of these the issues confiscaed destroyed
and IL certain pages of articles removed by order
of the court
These figures refer only confscaons which were subse
quently approved by the courts. ,oo.
In the United States of America during the period 1905
to 1911 inclusive 1886 publications either denied access to-
rejected from the mails resulting in permanent suspension
of issues in many with little less disastrous results to the
owners than would have been the concaon of types presses
and other printing and publishing equipments.
In Russia the confiscaon of 1865 publications applied only to
certain specific issues parts of issues not to the publications
themselves in every authority for the procedure Deng JUS
titled by regularly constituted courts
In the United States the concaon covered the whole estab
shment to the ability and right to publish further issues with
appeal the courts and based not any well defined or
well understood laws of congress- but upon certain muudnous
obscure arbitrary rules and regulations varying according to the
notions of the official who happened to occupy the seat OF power
and changing from year to year.
