Printed 111 years ago today in the Newark Evening Star. The image contrast/brightness was modified, some of the text was cleaned up, and some solid areas were filled in; see the original.

Found on the Library of Congress site.

I think they're talking about the Federal Reserve Act that was passed into US law later that year. But I don't know much about it.

It's always wealthy libertarian and private money types complaining that any types of reforms or aid for the poor would limit their business models, never worrying that their complaints strongly suggest that their business modes must be based on exploiting the poor and working classes (their customers, suppliers, and employees).
