Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 May 1900 — John Sees Breakers Ahead. [ARTICLE]

John Sees Breakers Ahead.

Fowler Leader (rep.): There is a foot race before the Republican party in the coming elections. There is danger ahead both in the local elections and national sweepstakes. The resolutions sympathizing with the Boers was hissed out of the Illinois Republican state conventions. Neely and a score of other “God appointed agents” have stolen thousands of dollars of the people they were sent to reform. Strikes are imminent and threatening and of vast proportions. Congress practically annealed together the gold and silver Democrats by making it impossible for the next administration to change the financial laws and at the same time doing nothing against the trusts. The passage of the Porto Rican tariff bill. The supreme court decision relieving telegraph and express companies from the war tax. The decreased price of grain and the increased price of merchandise. There is danger ahead and the spell binder don’t bind.
