Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 December 1883 — The Wedge of Republicanism. [ARTICLE]

The Wedge of Republicanism.

Bishop Warren, of the Methodist church, is enthusiastic over American progress. He proudly declares that our country is one that in a hundred years has taken a respectable rank in literature; that has made fourteen inventions, which have gone wherever civilization has gone, while all the rest of the world has not made half that number of equal importance; that has revolutionized land warfare once and naval warfare twice; that has solved social problems which the world has blundered over for ages; that has abolished a feudalism and serfdom; that, taking the Bible declaration that God has made of one blood all the nations, has made one family out of representatives of every kindred and tongue and people and n&tjon; that has founded its institutions on the rights of man and the laws of God, and that has already driven a wedge of Republicanism nearly to the heart of Europe. A xew fabric has appeared on the market called bison.cloth. It is not a relative of the buffalo robe.
