  • Used
Philadelphia: Daily News Office, 1856. Caption title [as issued]. Disbound. 8pp, lightly worn. Good+. At head of title: 'Read This, And Then Hand It To Your Neighbor. Tracts For The People. No. 3.'

A scarce survival of the chaotic, three-way 1856 presidential campaign. This pamphlet, from the anti-immigrant American or Know-Nothing Party led by ex-President Millard Fillmore, charges that James Buchanan, the Democratic candidate, "did advocate the reduction of the wages of American laborers." Working men must shun him at the upcoming election:
"American Laborers! Rally in support of the champion of your rights and interests. That man is Millard Fillmore. He has ever advocated the Protection of the American Laborer. His protective tariff of 1842 worked miracles for the mechanics and laborers of our country..."

Description:
Philadelphia: Lippincott, Grambo & Co, 1855. First edition. 1 vols. 12mo. Cloth, gilt stamped design of bald eagle with stars, stripes, and arrows on front cover. Spine ends chipped, backstrip faded, corners a little bumped, but still a sturdy copy. First edition. 1 vols. 12mo. An anonymous tract supporting the American "Know-Nothing" Party, and lamenting the influx of "foreign criminals and paupers." The author argues, as did the American Party, the "the sons of the soil should rule the soil." An interesting, typically colorful sample of mid-nineteenth century political writing.
