Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 212, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 September 1910 — Masses Must Be Fed. [ARTICLE]
Masses Must Be Fed.
Rrom the days of Joseph down the only well populated country which had enough grain to satisfy its own consumers was Egypt, rich beyond the record of any other soil this side of Paradise. Ferrero, in his history of Home, shows the transcendent political importance of corn in all times. Feed your people, king or demagogue, else they will overthrow ypu. For the masses from furthest antiquity to most recent days, there has never been any torch of dissatisfaction, rebellion and anarchy like a shortage of bread.
