Prosperity Critique of President Harrison Thanksgiving Proclamation
A writer denounces President Harrison and Wall Street elites for a proclaimed prosperity that masks poverty across the nation. The piece cites mortgage foreclosures, wage theft, tenement conditions, and stark inequality, urging a more definite, humane measure of national prosperity. It references Louis Albert Banks, Thomas Scott, and the New York World in a critique of plutocracy and church hypocrisy.
