A NEWSPAPER TKUST.
Wiithiirii ithe past year the public of the
TJnfiitedl Sitates hlave been shown by ' a
iminister of 'the 'Gospel what .a news
ipbper should tola and have beard oon
sidjerfiJble iJay wpin'ioa on the subject,
toim.e liiaftxperieniced people eve.ru going
s ifiar as to endbw a newspaper "to
tail the truth." All shiades am'd vari
eties of noftions Ihove ibeen laiired' from
tiiose held Iby persons 'chat ''think ith'ait
neftvtspaipers mever by any laccident do
tell it., The mewBpapers1 imeanWhile have
report ed all he "views" expressed land
gonla on telling the truth or lying, ac
cording to their habits. Now, however,
an expert has cbtme forward and not on
ly Mdi what a newBipaper should be,
tout probably what it will Ibe in 'flhe
twentieth century., Alfred Hamms
wortlhl, (edlitor and proprietor of the Lon
don Daily Mail, published 'Simultane
ously eachi day in London an d) "Mknches-
ain. Is it not O'ovious xnat uie pu,wei
of such a paper might become such as
we have ndfc seen "yet in the history
of the press?
Aye, iherels tihSa rub! No doulbt it
would, eo far as suppressing: other ctews
paoer enterprise goes, but. would a num
ber of newspapers pulbli'Sihie'd by a trust
hlflve the influence over -the public opin
ion that the saTne numfber of papers
now have, each exipTeseiaig its own
views 'in its own way?
Duit to continue with 'Mr. Harms
worth, he asks,
"But how could such a multiple
newspaper come into existence? Ob
viously, it would have to be initiated
by some man, or group of men, holding
practically unlimited capital and pos
sessing intimate knowledge of every
thing appertaining 'to the journalism, of
their country. Such a group might
easily be formed of the directors of
three or four leading papers of New
York, or London. In my opinion, there
first steps would be to buy the best
brain, newspapers and machinery, ts
construct private telegraph wires and
cables, or where existing monoiDolies
for the time prevented that course to
purchase the exclusive or preferential
use of the wireis.
"The possibilities of such develop
ment would be .practically without
limit. Possessing its own cables,
wires, despatch boats' and special
trains, ithe simultaneous newspaper
concern would soon have its own pa
per mills, printing ink factories, ma
chinery shops and the like; that is al
ready party true of the London Times
and other leading journals. It would
probably take the control of all rail
way and street news stands, and by
persistent and overwhelming pressure
would compel all news aerents to ac
cept the position of agents of the com
bine." In other? words Mr. Harmsworth
thinks such a (monopoly would; crush
out all competition and at ffche same
time increase the excellence of news
papers and cheapen them for the pub
lic. We venture to predict, however,
thla't no monopoly (that bias ever Ibeen at
tempted io this country .would lairouse
sueh'op position as an! attempt at a
newspaper monopoly. .Before such a
tbLng fehould be consummated tfchiere
'would bia such a newspaper wfetr as even
tore fiercest political campaign meaner
saw. If there is any class of men in
this world who propose to go tkeir own
wray and siay Ifcheir own say (it iia the
newspaper men of -'the United States.
That is wihat a large nuimlber of tlhem
aire in the business for. Thialt is wfhat
has made thJa ttiekding mewsplaipers in
the world. Horace Greely tmiade the
New York Tribiune, Tana made the
Sun, (Raymond, ithe Times, Beronett thie
Herald, Grlaidy the Constitutiioni, Henry
Watsotni the Louisville Courier-Jourinal
andl some man of ddteas, origimiality and
energy has stamped ihJs tokiiviidiuality on
every successful mewspaper In this coun
no beftter place to practice this injunc
tion than in Lincoln.
! "Hypocracy," he declared, was the
name well fitted Ito the repubMcan
party and in support of 'his assertion
pointed out itnat an 1896 the republi
cans repudiated the gold standard and
in Ithe last electdon declared they did
