Book synopsis

Excerpt from For the People: The Public Dept; What to Do With It; An Examination of the Financial Problems of the Day, and a Distinct Showing of Their True Solution But whenever there is a train of thought which it is vitally essential to awaken in the popular mind, there is seldom a stated vehicle of communi cation. The business of the party newspaper is to hold the edge of the party implement to the face of the party grindstone. Trains of thought which are out of the prescribed track, are unacceptable. There is noth ing that is holden by the journalistic code so dangerous as a conclusion drawn from other than party premises. There is nothing in the journal istic orbit so dreaded as an appeal to a fundamental principle. He who looks beyond the party platform, with its narrow planks and little traps for catching voters - who dares to dissent from the dicta of the party sachems, is written down dangerous, and given to understand that he is under suspicion. There is no form of financial policy now presented to the people, or capable of being presented through the columns of newspapers of any party, which does not start from the predicate that the public debt must and shall be paid. There is, therefore, none which, by any possibility, can either now or in the future afi'ord them the relief they crave, and to which they are entitled. The sole effect of a plan proposed is to sustain, by its antagonism, a plan adopted; and through a discussion of the claims of different schemes, neither of which can do more than perpetuate the evils that exist, keep the people quiet through a confusion of ideas.
