At center: "Gewidmet von den Tragern der Arbeiter-Zeitung" (Dedicated to the 'Workers Newspaper'), “Facket und Vorbote" (Torch and Harbors); “Alle Rader Stehen still - Wenn mein starker Arm es will!" (All wheels stand still when my strong arm wants it). With image of a blacksmith, horse in doorway in background.

Franklin under image of an office clerk); “Im Interesse des Kapitals, Freiheit, verdamme ich dieh" (In the Interest of capital, freedom I condemn you - Image of a judge condemning Lady Liberty); “Handelt nach meinen Worten, nicht nach meinen Thaten" (Act according to my words, not according to my deeds - under image of a judge or solicitor); “Hands Up!” (with image of a policeman); “Ihr arbeitet und ich geniesse!"

Upper left cartouche (roughly translated): “As Clio [Muse of History] at the exchange this year the number four hundred on the blackboard writes be clouded her face, the statement is true speaks them but vain was the hope deities the muses hold spendthrift Columbia freeborn children are degenerate for new folly they add the old delusional so iron meaningless, contrary to the fatalities However, a pure sex enters the web---The Muse of History"
The Arbiter-Zeitung was the "Workers Newspaper" published in Austria between 1889 and 1991 as the daily paper of the Social Democratic Party. Nearly every nation on earth has had a party of "Social Democrats" over the years. The American version was not formally organized until a few years after this quatercentennial, but the sentiment was rising. 1892 calendar upper right, interestingly has English months. This suggests that, although no printer is noted, it was printed in the United States. There were many German language printers until the World Wars increased anti-German sentiment in the 20th century.Not laid down, few short edge tears in margins. Moderately toned, especially along edges. In very good condition. Wonderfully printed.Condition
