The proaidoot's mofsago is nuppoioc

turo thought of the country upon the
living Uinoi ot the day , In a greatoi
or loaa degree it represents the coin
bin ad judgment of the chinf oxocutivi
and his cabinet upon the most Import
ant subjects of public policy , Since
the adoption of thn federal constitu
tlon it has exorcised a moulding influence
once on legislation and has euggostoc
methods and measures for the guld
an co of congress in its law-making
capacity. Few presidents have hac
the temerity to originate start
ling changes in the policy oi

They have boon content , aa the htghcs
office boar or of the party , to re flee
the sentiment of the majority and U
offer such suggestions on the issues o
the day as forced themselves into
prominence through the platform am

has boon prompt to ignore his rcooin

of seeing their claims fathered by the
president , nnd presented , through his
mossvgo to the national congress
The cries of socialism , domagoglam
and communism , which for nearly a
decade have greeted every man who
dared to raise his voice against the
chartered plundering of the people ,
bavo dlod away , and congress at Insi

such surpassing importance that it
throatona to overshadow all other qucj-
lions which are now agitating the

subjects for popular debate.
The tariff quoalion ia admitted to bo
n preening one. Exorbitant taxds for
ho boncfit of the few levied upon the
many have caused an uprising of pub
ic nonUmont which domauda a prompt
reduction in our import dutioa. But
ho question of the tariff ia ono which
can bo nettled at any moment by the
leoplo. It ia they , through tholr
lutional legialaturo who have levied
hcso taxva up'm thotnuulvcs , partly
or the public biiiolit and partly to
encourage prlvnto induatriea. But the
arid nffbcto primarily only foreign
mportationa. It is the same
or the same classes of gonds
uuded at whatever port. Railroad
larlfia affect every artlolo of both for-
Ign and domestic consumption. They
iccriminato against cities and indi-
iduals. They are an arbitrary tax
wlod by irresponsible parties , who
augo their exactions by the capacity
f the public to boar them. Where
lie customs tariff exact a a dollar , the
&ilroadj extort ten. Of the two
uoslionn that of curbing the rapacity

eduction in our cuatomi duties ,
Olvll bcrvlco reform has forced itself
pen the public utrontiou. The peo-
lo have r.niiouucod their belief that
10 active participation of 100,000
ilico holders in pulitics under the dl-
motion of a single party its injurious to

IN n general way the publio is not
interested In the parties who own or
control u newspaper. It is only when
the paper assumes to voica the sent !
uionta of a party while It really ia
the mere mouthpiece of men or com
binations of capital who oaro nothing
whatever for party except as it servo
their endu , that the publio has a rlgh
to enquire about Its ownership or eon <
trol. When the announcement wai
made a few days ago that the Unlor
Pad Go hud gone oat of politic * and
AS & first step had told its interest <
torost In the Omaha litpublican , the
natural inference was that np to thai
time the control of a paper which had
pretended to voice republican senti
ment , and that was ostensibly pub' '
lishod in the interest of the republican
party , had passed into the hands ol
parties who would henceforth publish
a paper as a true exponent of part }
principles , This would doubtless be
gratifying to republicans who desire tr
see the party press freed from cor
porate shackles ; honoet , fearlces and
earnest in dofonaj of the rights of the
people.
But the change of ownorchlp is not
a change of control , The great mon
opolies that have for years dominated
In our politics have another way ol
controlling those bogua party organe
besides owning stosk in ouch concerns.
It is n notorious fact that while the
railroads have never had a dollars in
terest in the Omaha Herald , they
have controlled ll& conduct aa absolute
ly as if they wore mlo proprietors o !
that paper. And they control the
Omaha Itqntllican in the tame way
It in an open secret that tin bulk ol
the income of both of those concerna
comes dircotly out of the r.\llroad
treasury. Mora than that , the editor
of the ono paper and the man
ager of the other have for years
had an income from the handling of
freight at the Council Bluffs transfer.
.When parties accept such favors they
are bound both by honor and self in
terest to render a return by support *
ing the policies of the monopolies and
by using tholr party influence in its
favor.
The liepvbluan denies that its rail
road patronage will in any way influence -
fluenco ita political policy. That will
do to toll to the marines. When the
railroad owned a largo share in the
paper , the same editor time and again
denied his master , and upon his word ol
honors which is not worth two straws ,
assured thu publio that the charge
that the papar was owned by anj body
connected with the railroad wat n base
falsehood. How long could the now
oroprlctori of the Iltpublican meet
ihtlr bills r/oro they compelled to
Forego the job subsidy from thn raii-
rotda ? How long would that subsidy
sontinao if they dnrod to army thdm-
jolvca earnestly and vigorously against
.hoabu30M of corporalo monopoly ? Do
huso fellows imagine they can hum-
Ijiig the publio by the protonae that the
ITUrk is awarded to them because they
ire the lowest bidders or because they
lave bolter facilities than anybody
ilso ? In the word s of Bob lugorsoll
t vront do. And the ropublicantpaity
n this state will never follow loader-
hip that subsists on monopolies and
ooks to impose upon the party a role
hat baa already brought it to the
of ruin.
