The Past Present And Future Of The Republic Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Republic of the Future And in regard to the discussion on bills, I think that one speech in favor of and one in opposition to, is quite sufficient for any measure. For again, we have the press, with its staff of trained and able writers, who are accustomed to grasp the main points in any case and present them in a condensed and easily-digested shape to its readers, who, absorbing their opinions with their coffee, but always exercising their own judgment, are prepared to decide on any measure before the nation, State, or village - for the people themselves decide what measures in the different legislatures shall or 'shall not become laws, their servants merely acting as clerks, in that part of the business. The bill being introduced, it is numbered and put away for the present, and telegraph and press combine to inform the people throughout the country that bill has been intro duced, and the press make their comments on it, as usual. Should the proposed measure conflict with the interests of any community, the member from that district will doubtless be notified by a majority of the halls, through the press, as usual - for he does nothing officially without this instruction - to oppose the measure in a speech, and if several members are thus directed to do so, let them select, by lot or other wise, among themselves, which shall do it. If no speeches are desired to be made against the bill, then none are made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
