Description | The Liberty Bell and Workingmen’s Advocate, launched in Norwich, Connecticut, on March 7, 1867, was a weekly publication with a clear mission: advocating for labor reform, including shorter work hours for men, women, and children, and promoting protection for domestic industry against foreign competition. It emphasized harmony between capital and labor and supported the "great Union party," which referred to the Republican Party at the time. The newspaper strongly criticized the outcome of the New Haven Workingmen’s Convention of 1867 for nominating a Democratic Party candidate, James E. English, labeling him as a "copperhead." Instead, it endorsed John R. Hawley of Hartford for Connecticut governor. Despite its strong stance, The Liberty Bell had a short lifespan and likely ceased publication within a few years.
