Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 October 1904 — THE FULL COFFEE POT. [ARTICLE]

THE FULL COFFEE POT.

"Two things the American working man insists upon having, whatever else he surrenders —coffee and sugar. Last year the American peo-ple-consumed 350,000,000 more pounds of coffee than they used in 1896. In that year the American people used 8 pounds of coffee per capita. Last year eleven pounds of coffee per capita. Watch the American working man’s coffee pot. That tells what political party is in power.’—From Senator Beveridge’s speech Sept. 28 at Tomlinson Hall. I. They’ve ceased to talk about it. They’ve thrown it overboard. They now campaign without it— That pail so much adored. The full dinner pail, Oh, ’tis cast out to rot Since Beveridge has introduced “The full coffee pot.” 11. They haven't any use for it, They hold it up no more; They say there's no excuse for it, And claim it proved a bore. The full dinner pail, How unhappy its lot, Since Albert Jeremiah sprung “The full coffee pot." 111. They’ve kicked it out forever. Because the working man. Despite their best endeavor. Can't be coddled with a can. So the full dinner pail. Which was once pipin' hot. Now rusts on the dump for “The full coffee pot.” —J. P. O’M. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 29.
