THE COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF THE PRESENT POLITICAL CONTEST. HOW WOULD THE SUCCESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AT THE APPROACHING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AFFECT THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS OF THIS COUNTRY? [np, 1880].
1880. Caption title [as issued]. 8pp, with light wear and old folds. 'No. 86.' printed at top of first page. Good+. A Republican campaign pamphlet, arguing that the triumph of the 'Solid South' would impoverish the country. Southerners have "the conceit of political sagacity. It is their boast that this country will never be properly governed until Southern statesmanship shall again bear sway." But when the numbers are crunched, the South has lagged behind the North in every index of economic prosperity. The Solid South's share of the "commercial, industrial, financial, and educational interests of the country" is disproportionately small. Its pretensions to "dictate the course of the National Government" is absurd. OCLC locates 12, under two accession numbers. Item #19742
