[ANTI-SEMITISM IN AMERICA]. The Wall Street Daily News. A Daily Journal Devoted to Financial Interests. Vol. I, No. 69. New York, NY, July 23, 1879. Four 4to pages on a large folded sheet. Each page approximately 344 x 249 mm. Toned, a few marginal tears, the two leaves have been glued back together after apparently having been torn away (left margin trimmed a bit unevenly). On p. 1: “The Hebrews. Does Grant Tolerate Them? … Ex-President Grant holds a great deal of the stock of the Manhattan Beach Company, and it is generally believed that a large part of the expenses of his Eastern trip have been derived from the profits of that corporation. It is feared that the action or Mr. Corbin [Austin Corbin, 1827-1896], a relative, will interfere with the General’s chances for the Presidency… [Grant’s attempt to run for a third presidential term].” Corbin, a banking and railroad magnate, developed the Manhattan Beach as a resort. Corbin was a notorious anti-semite, and secretary to the American Society for the Suppression of the Jews, and banned Jewish people from staying in his hotels or properties at Manhattan Beach. Today, Manhattan Beach is heavily populated by Jews. The Wall Street Daily News (published 1879-1907) does not appear to have any connection with The Wall Street Journal.
