A propos de cet article

Offered is the September 29, 1892 (Vol. IX No. 13) issue of "Twentieth Century: A Weekly Radical Magazine" edited by Joseph Fitzgerald (J. [James] W.

With eight pages of vintage advertisements, contents of this issue include: Editorial by Joseph Fitzgerald (on various subjects, including "Straining at a Gnat" ["Because only half a dozen or less deaths from cholera have occurred in New York City, it is assumed that our Chinese wall of quarantine has kept the plague out. How many cholera deaths have occurred in Liverpool, or in London? Perhaps as many as in New York, or perhaps twice as many. But London and Liverpool maintain no such quarantine as we have here: passengers who are found to be in good health are permitted to land and to go whithersoever they please"]; "Chili and the 'Irish Vote'"; "Domestic Service" ["The repugnance of women to domestic service is justly regarded as a very important social phenomenon, for it portends nothing less than a revolution in family life"]); "How Would This Thing Work?" by Individualist Anarchist J. [M.] Armsden (on Anarchism) with a "Rejoinder" by Associate Editor J.W. Sullivan; letter from Robert H. Cowdrey headlined "Mr. Cowdrey Heartily Supports Direct Legislation" (Robert H. Cowdrey was the 1888 Presidential Candidate for the United Labor Party); one-column "Immigration" by John Hossack; one-column "An Experience" by A.P. Brown (who claims he was healed from severe asthma attacks); "Is Homestead Portentous of a General Class War?" by J. W. Sullivan ("II. - The Story of Homestead (Continued)"); one-column "A Freethought Political Party" by B. F. [Benjamin Franklin] Underwood ("I see by a paragraph in the Twentieth Century that somebody has formed, or is to form, a Freethought political party. That is rich!"); Correspondence; column Politics and Economics (lengthy report "Progress in the Topolobampo [Bay] Colony" by Rudolf Kobitzsch); columns Science and the Useful Arts, The Working of the Yeast, and Our Weekly News-Letter.
