Des Moines Letter on Politics and Public Life
The Des Moines letter covers Washington's birthday as a holiday, praises John A. Kasson, critiques the Des Moines Typographical Union's anti Democratic stance, and notes new buildings and business activity. It contrasts free silver debates with court actions on populist questions, mentions the Des Moines malt house and efforts to curb liquor, and promotes Dr King’s New Discovery for ailments.
