Democratic Sentinel, Volume 16, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1892 — Ben Butler Supported Harrison. [ARTICLE]

Ben Butler Supported Harrison.

The senate committee reported against the passage of the bill to prevent the use of the American flag for advertising purposes. The senate is controlled by the g. o. p., which holds the flag in such holy reverence. Yet the excuse for their action is that it would interfere with the manufacture of the flags. Ben Butler has control of this article. Yet the Republicans not only give him a protective tariff, but also permit the desecration of the flag rather than interfere with the manufacture of the article.—Lake County News.
