Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 October 1890 — AMERICAN WORKINGMEN. [ARTICLE]

British industrial existence seems fast becoming one huge poison-swamp of reckless pestilence—physical and normal—a hideous living Golgotha of souls and bodies buried alive. Thirty thousand out-cast needle-women working themselves to death. Three million paupers rotting in forced idleness; and these are but items in the sad ledger of despair. If the Republicans turn out and vote in November, the viotory will be theirs.
