Book by an Ohio Congressman published in 1903

Years ago my mom was talking about having too many books and needing to get rid of some. She pulled one off the shelf that had been her grandfathers. "The Handwriting on The Wall - or Revolution in 1907" by J. C. Cooper, published in 1903. I kept it, and found a copy on line and bought it for Dennis Kucinich, J. C. Cooper being a Congressman from Ohio. I was mentioning this to a friend and he found the book online. Anyone can check it out here: https://archive.org/details/handwritingonwa00coopgoog


From the table of contents, he covers:

His Personal Experience
Trusts
The Railroads and the Trusts
Legislation
Corruption, Bribery and Perjury
Trade Unions
Strikes
Machinery
Child Labor
The Unemployed
The Aristocracy
Poverty
Female Labor
The Fierce Struggle
Education
The Church
The Farmer
Plutocracy
Panics
Finis

That's his twenty chapters, and we are dealing with the same subjects today.

Happy reading...

Bob Ney's Sideswiped almost a century later focuses in on the seedier side of politics as played today.
