THE WORTH OF NEWSPAPERS
The Americans are perhaps the
greatest consumers of newspapers
to be found on the globe, and to
that fact may be attributed a great
deal of the originality, vim and
energy that characterizes them as
a nation. The trait of distinct and
straightforward meaning that is a
prominent feature of all state
papers and historical documents of
American origin is another marked
example of the newspaper influ
ence. Century has it that the
student of our firs-t half-century of
national history can hardiy fail to
be impressed by the nervous
directness, exactness and conse
quent force of the American state
papers of that time. While diplo
matic documents in every other
part of the world were marked by
cireuitousness, tergiversation and a
style too vicious to be classed even
as slovenly, the American procla
mation, petition, or diplomatic or
political argument was quite cer
tain to be marked by cieawut
purpose, masculine vigor of ex
pression, and close adaptatipn of
words to ideas. All this was un
doubtedly due to long and intense
thinking on suojects of the highest
importance to the thinkers, and to
a somewhat narrow field of read
ing; restricted to the study of the
great masters o: English style, the
reat American writers were able
to wing every word with an exact
Understanding of its purport, and
jof its strongest use. It can hardly
be possible to overestimate the ed
ucational influence which must
have been exerted on the American
people by the constant reading oi
their own political literature at a
time when there was little or no
native drama, poetry or histor . ,
and when the attention of the
njevvspaper reader was concentrated I
o'ji politics and state papers. If
tljie American's reading matter
was limited, it was marked by
dignity, by a freedom from mean-
aiess oi conception or treatment, !
and by a copious supply of sound I
English words and an evident
power of discrimination in the me j
of them. Common schools may
have been few, colleges poor and
universities non-existent; but the
documents which the scanty news
paper literature of the time gave
to the people were in themselves
an education. Even those writings
in which a lack of thorough early
training is occasionally uetiaycd
. by an over-fondness for long words
! or labored efforts, though they may
("thereby become ponderous, do nut
become turgid or inexact. The
rule was that the American dij -lomatic
or political writer said
what he meant to say, and said it
in the fittest words. Such a
process of popular education ought
to go far to explain the complete
ness with which all departments of
American literature finally blos
somed forth. The people have
been versed for yeare in that which j
if it was only one branch of liter- j
ature, had been handled in a i
manner little Short Ot perfection. I
1 i
j If the popular literary stan lards
j were few, there were of a very
! high order and of a kind particu
larly serviceable in the direction of
mere show and pretense ; and the
men who, in other departments of
literary work, were at last able to
come fully up to these standards,
were necessarily men of such
power that their work at once took
a permanent place in the literature
of the race. But not all the credit
should be "given to the ability of
he writers; a large part of it is
jue to the existence of a class of
teaders, trained to llijdl demands
by the quality of their current
reading, furnished mainly by
the newspaper.-?.
'ABOUT THE TARIFF.
'Tbo Htates 1'emr.f-rut is
reatlv disturbed at tlie H kk a i.ds
.
uttitude on the tariff miestion. and
the editor that oruTti: in a Port of ;
egotistical, Salvation Army V;.-.-:
Crv I'.tshlon h?-,vn wloopmi x: !
tree .r:tde bosh in a lively manner,
and ends by j-ropoun linj; sever.d
qws-lion to tht- llv.'-:Ai.L. as-ii to
a-k vshv .ve do i-ot take t!:e sauie
course on this question that highly
infiuentiaU ?.) journal does. The
! reason the Herald has not taken
i tne trouble to answer these ques
tions is because it makes very
little difference to the public or to
the IIirud whether Mr. Stites'
puerile interrogations are answered
or not, but when the vanity of a j
man reaches too high a ciegree it
ought to be punctured.
The Herald will not so oppose
V.ie fan: '::g and wool growing in-
lustries of this country and the
interests of the laborer as to favor
putting . ol and other farmeis'
products -n the free "list, at the
s.ime time retaining a heavy duty
on woolen clothing, sugar, rice, and
the articles the farmer and the
workingman has to buy, as the
Democrat is feebly trying to do.
The Democrat savs it is not for
free trade, but it supports the Mills
bill, and Mr. Mills in his speech
before congress in defense of his
bill closed with these words:
"Then every industry will spring
forward at a bound, and wealth,
prosperity ar.'d power will bless the
land that is dedicated to free men,
free labor and We trade."
The voters of Oregon have al
ready pretty decisively given their
opinion of the one-sided tariff re
form proposed by the Mills bill,
and as to discussing this question
now with Mr. Stites, the Herald
has more important business to
attend to.
We have neither time nur
patience, nor is it profitable to our
readers, to attempt a tariff discus
sion with a man so party blind that
he'eannot distinguish the benefits
of protecting the products of this
country, but desires to open, them
to the competition of the herds
that -roam the pampas of South
America and the plains of Aus
tralia, and desires to protect the
manufacturers and a sectional
product simply because it helps
keep up a sectional solid south and
lends his aid to perpetuating
war taxes under the revenue sys
tem, by making the specious, but
entirely false cry, that taking oil
the revenue tax will make free
whisky when tlte real underlying
object of keeping up the useless
revenue laws that continue to swell
the treasury surplus, is the horde
of appointed office-holders it keeps
up, and the faint hope that dem
ocratic officials will have the ap
portioning of those official plums,
t.nd that some of them may fall
into mouths that are gaping for
them.
The late orders of the weather
clerk seemed to be based upon the
old lady's desire that it should
jriin nights and Sundays so hired
me i could rest. Heavy showers
j during the .night and clear days
have been tne rule for a da- or
two.
