Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 September 1904 — The Full Dinner Pail. [ARTICLE]

The Full Dinner Pail.

The full dinner pail Is not so frequently mentioned by the Republicans this year. Many people .are working short hours and strikes are numerous. What does it all mean? The Republicans delight to refer to the soup houses that were established along about the close of President Harrison’s administration in 1892. Are their policies bringing on another such an era? Everything is becoming so trusted that there is now but one employer, where formerly there were a hundred. The high tariff has stimulated production in many lines until the home market is glutted and shops are being closed until the over-supply is gotten rid of. And the fullness of the dinner pail languishes while the oversupply is being disposed- of. Labor, seeking to organize to maintain a full dinner pail, is locked out or foced to accept reduced pay. In the meantime millions of the cheapest laborers In Europe are coming to our shores to take the places of American workingmen.—Logansport Pharos.
