Press and Pulpit Compared as Civilizers and Teachers
A reader argues that the United States owes much to the press and railroad for progress while the pulpit remains static. The piece praises free press as a driver of thought and civil liberation, contrasted with church authority, and laments post office subsidies to railroads amid anti press taxation. It also reports on agricultural notes about mercurial ointment dangers, corn and potato cultivation, and printing services offered by Tax Sun.
