Description
Boston, Massachusetts: Olivery Ditson, 1848. Folio, 14 x 10 ½ inches, 5 pp. Slight splitting to covers, contents fine, very good plus overall.. The sheet for the anti-politician polemic “Eight Dollars a Day", which was apparently a crowd favorite at the Hutchinson Family’s performances. The song lambastes the political class and its waste, insinuating, among other things, that the politicians were spending their bloated salary on alcohol: “A flaming speech is made by one when the call is yea or nay, But all are agreed with the question comes of Eight dollars a day.” The song was written in 1848, early in the Hutchinson Family’s period moving toward social activism, and four years after their most famous abolition-themed compositions.[1] Judging by the twelve copies held at libraries, this was probably one of the better selling titles in their repertoire from the time period.

Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Committee, Young Communist League, [1940]. Broadside, with text offset printed in black on beige stock, measuring 23cm x 30.5cm (9" x 12"). Toning to extremities, a few tiny nicks and tears along the edges, with a brief pencil notation at upper left and lower right corners; Very Good+. Anti-conscription broadside, issued in June, 1940 by the Young Communist League of Los Angeles, linking FDR's proposal for the compulsory military training of American youth to Wall Street. "The proposal for compulsory military training is a declaration of war against the American people - against their living standards and democratic rights. This is the identical system Hitler forced upon the youth of Germany...COMPULSORY ARMY TRAINING FOR AMERICAN YOUTH IS THE FIRST STEP TO PUT INTO EFFECT THE M-PLAN - WALL STREET'S BLUE PRINT FOR FASCISM." The broadside concludes by encouraging young people to wire or write the White House and ask FDR to stop the conscription of American youth. Not separately listed in OCLC. 87350.
