| Transcript | Sign-Posts That Will Have to Guide the Party for the Safekeeping of a Daily People. (Editorial by Daniel De Leon in The People, April 2, 1899.)

In the deciding of what the nature of that organization shall have to be the Party may pick its way by the light of the experience that it is just now making with the organization that is publishing the Volkszeitung. The readers of The People will remember the three successive articles on the Volkszeitung in our issues of last December 25, January 1, and January 8.

The matter ended there. This time, the editor of the Volkszeitung brought up the matter of the differences between The People and the Volkszeitung, together with the censure passed upon him, before the Volkszeitung Publishing Association (officially known as the 11 |
