Open Letter Explains Grievances Against Eastern Influence
Governor Altgeld responds to the New York Journal editor about southern and western enmity toward eastern domination in policy. He accuses eastern financiers and capitalists of shaping federal laws to benefit a few interests, holding up tariffs and silver demonetization as burdens on producers and consumers alike. He argues the East uses politics as a plaything to control parties and the government, urging an end to eastern domination and calls for states to assert their convictions.
