A newspaper represents an association; one might say that it addresses each of its readers in the name of all the others, and influences them in proportion to their individual weakness. The power of newspapers should therefore increase as men become more equal.
报纸代表一个协会;有人可能会说,它以所有其他读者的名义来对待每一位读者,并根据他们各自的弱点来影响他们。因此,报纸的力量应该随着人们变得更加平等而增强。
