The editors and writers of The Firebrand, published in Portland and distributed nationwide from 1895 to 1897, surely expected to get some resistance from the establishment. They may even have expected to be arrested, possibly even charged with sedition or treason. But they surely didn’t expect that when their publication was shut down, it would be for criticizing the institution of matrimony. (Portland, Multnomah County; 1897) (For text and pictures, see http://offbeatoregon.com/1803c.firebrand-newspaper-shut-down-for-smut-487.html)
