[The Arms Trade]
Illinois Staats-Zeitung, January 23, 1871
Article on the effect the mass meetings in the Turnhalle has had against the arms trade. Other mass meetings in Davenport, Kansas City, Cincinnati. While the Republican papers simply report the meeting, the Times" spews forth fire and vengeance."
Long reprint of a letter by a Mr. F. R. Butler to the Times who is indignant that their party has dared to threaten the U. S. (that the Germans would get back at it for having prolonged the bloody struggle.)
The Staats Zeitung does not deny the threat, but makes fun of Mr. Butler's cowardice.
