Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 October 1900 — Full Dinner Pail Not an Insult. [ARTICLE]

Full Dinner Pail Not an Insult.

W. J. Bryan says it is an Insult to the workingmen to talk about a full dinner pail. I am a workingman and carry my dinner pail. I wish to inform the honorable gentleman that I am not insulted when my dinner pail is full; neither am I insulted when I have work every day to fill my dinner pail, as we have under Republican rule. I think It is far better than to have to go to a free souphouse and depend on the charities of the people. So we will allow Senator Hanna to continue to advocate the full dinner pail and not feel the least insulted. It no floubt does insult the calamity howler who wants office so bad and who would sacrifice the workingman’s full dinner pail for 16 to 1. W. J. S. Bluffton, Ind., Sept. 19.
