I have received your nicer lines, thank you very much! I have saved 100 dollars for you, please send me your bank details so that I can send you the money immediately. It is really hard for me since money is tight and the season rainy, but we will be able to put an end to this in a couple of years, you will now get some money every year! We are in hibernation again, but it still is quite mild here, fall is so much more beautiful than summer. Why don't you come over now? It is much easier now, you can travel by zeppelin, and it only takes 3-4 days. If it is urgent you can arrive and leave again in a matter of 14 days. The trip to America by zeppelin is a great accomplishment! Who would have thought 20 some years ago this was possible, when it took me 10 days? Nobody. Despite the lost war we will not be subdued! If it was not for the cost of reparations, Germany would have been up and running again, but the French cannot get enough! Health-wise, we are all fine and I hope the same for you. What are Martha and the children doing, the latter must be all grown up by now! My daughter is now 3 years of age and a big girl, she is just like her father, I am adding some pictures to this letter! So, dearest Theodor, send me your bank details immediately and I will sort it out, as soon as I receive your letter. For now, I send you my regards and also from my parents and my wife. Yours, Hans Rehder Pictures will be in the next letter, they are not done yet. 24 Jan 1928 Dear Theodor! Our letters have crossed! I received your nice lines on the first days of January! I read, dearest Theodor, that you are waiting for your repayment of your loan over 650.00 dollars and I understand. Believe me, I would have repaid you a long time ago, but I was simply not able to! I have tied up my money because I own a small house, which I cannot sell because money is tight and without a deposit it does not make sense for me! I am also stuck with a new car, I represent the company for Sylt and I cannot sell it since money is tight and everything is so expensive. I would place the car in an installment sale! Finally, I still have some securities, but they are so far below ratings that I am not able to sell them if I do not want to lose a lot of money! I hope that I can send you an installment of at least 150.00 dollars in the fall of this year. From then on, I will send you a higher repayment every year! I hope, dearest Theodor, that you will bear with me until then. The mark is fixed, but the products are getting more and more expensive every day, basically we are again in the middle of inflation, but with products! The mark of course is stable, but a large amount of people have no money and most of them live from hand to mouth. The Dawes Plan is ruining us, the taxes are overwhelming. Our shoe shop, which is still owned by dad, is going well, but we do not have any surpluses anymore as we did before the war started! The earnings are spent on taxes and living! Dad has also lost his money during the inflation and now we have to borrow large amounts of money from the banks every year and the expenses are so high! Germany is looking good, but every shop and every citizen is crushed by the burden of the Dawes Plan. And for how long? I would love to have Mr. Voss and Mr. Klink visit Westerland, I would then show them Westerland and the island and explain business life to them so that they can report back to you. Also, my dear Theodor, you will receive the first part of your loan in the fall and I hope you will not make any trouble. For now, we send our regards to you, Martha and the children, Yours, Hans Rehder Come and visit us, we can talk about everything!

Miller = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Today's issue of our newspaper contains the platform that was ratified by the Republican national convention in Chicago, which can be considered one of the most successful national documents of its kind. Upon careful reading and study of this document, anyone who until now has been torn between the two principal parties of the country will know how to choose. This platform provides reliable guarantees for adoptive citizens like us, especially as regards Paragraph 14, which was adopted solely for the benefit of immigrants and was energetically defended at the convention by our upstanding countryman Mr. Schurz. It frees us from the hitherto disgraceful and despotic tutelage of the Nativists. The Republican party has as candidates men whom one can trust. Abe Lincoln has worked his way up from a farmer to the rank of a legislator and is universally honored and respected. He is the true man for the Northwest; his origins are among the people, thus he is a man of the people; he understands the shortcomings and neglect by the government in regard to the Northwest, and next March, having ascended the Capitol steps, he will know where aid and reforms are necessary. He is the man we have long needed. Up until now the presidential office has been occupied for the most part by puppets and cold-fish aristocrats who puffed themselves up and behaved like absolute monarchs; those who fawned before the thrones of Europe as well as before the money and n***** barons at home, and in the process forgot the interests of the people! Many of these men had previously resided at foreign courts and learned there what they had perhaps not yet known: systematic diplomatic humbug and the fleecing of the people. The honorable judge Mr. Douglas himself has given Democratic guest lectures at various European courts, preaching the blessings of slavery in the United States for the amusement of those who rule by Gods grace and their consorts. Yet he was not received, as he is here, as the Little Giant, but rather laughed off as a political-diplomatic buffoon. The grand duke Alexander, now Czar of Russia, took Douglas's Human Flesh Trade story to heart such that soon after his ascension to the throne he began to end the institution of serfdom so as to eliminate any suspicion of having endorsed an American N***** Baron System. Newspapers affiliated with the Democratic Party accuse Lincoln of having split fence rails in his younger years; all the more respect for Mr. Lincoln for having earned his bread honorably. Better to eat one's bread by the sweat of one's brow than, as an idler and parasite, to play the great man at the cost of the nation. Germans of America! Read the Republican platform with care, consider and discuss it with knowledgeable men. Then you will most certainly discover that foreigners have been considered in this platform and are regarded as free citizens. Don't listen to these Democratic hucksters und political capitalizers: they make all sorts of promises to you now because they plan to use you as electoral cattle. Once they've reached their goal, then they'll give you a swift kick, just as they have always done. Germans! Consider carefully that when you vote the Democratic ticket, you're also helping to spread slavery, and what German can be so conscienceless and behave so senselessly as to damn a fellow human, even one of another skin color, to slavery? "Eternal infamy!" will one day be the cry of posterity: Germans, too, supported the accursed institution of slavery in the nineteenth century. Children and grandchildren will speak with indignation of their forebears and curse those who helped to open the free soil of the territories for slavery, thereby closing them off for free labor. Your descendants will go hungry, for wherever slavery takes root, there remains no refuge for the poor free worker. Wise up, then, and provide for the well-being of your descendants and do your share to preserve a piece of free soil for them. Future generations--indeed, history itself--will rejoice and preserve your memory with gratitude. Let "Down with the spread of slavery" be every Germans watchword and "Freedom for All" his rallying cry. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = <h3>Republican Platform</h3> [...] Be it resolved that we, the delegated representatives of the Republican voters of the U.S., gathered in convention, discharging the duties that are due our constituents and our country, agree to the following declaration. [...] 14) That the national Republican party is and will be against any alteration of the naturalization laws and against any and all legislation by which the rights of citizenship that have until now been extended to immigrants of foreign lands might be limited or altered. We are for the complete and effective protection of the rights of all classes of citizens, regardless of whether they are native or naturalized, or at home or abroad. https://germansiniowa.lib.uiowa.edu/files/original/cafc65a1314046434cb909c5a177fab8.JPG c726d78e5388ea8d55bcfc932c9fbbfa https://germansiniowa.lib.uiowa.edu/files/original/3fbcd3746f37e56cf20cd6e233164ede.JPG dff21115e90941aaf758f26ece246329 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
