This wus an In crease of $171,584,774 In a single ye,\r preceding the Taft administration, amounting to morn than double lie* In crease durliiK throe years of the Taft administration. Isn't It obvious that they are pro* turning you won't have the statistics at hand to inform yourself and lliat therefore they will fool you Into be lieving that the Taft administration made railroad men's prosperity? Then stop, look, llston again! In four years preceding Taft's ad ministration 1,193 miles of rallroud were sold under foreclosure. The stocks and bonds of those roads amounted to $47,031.00p. Vnder three years of the Taft ad ministration B,11G miles were foreclo*. cd, Involving $384,434,562. The Tariff Humbug Again. A still more palpable presumption by Republicans that railroad men are fools 1b the following statement In their circular: I^rora this year on, so long as the Democratic administration was In pow cr, conditions Improved steadily. hi 1895 the total number of railroad men at work was increased to 785,034, Iu 1896 It was 826,620. rn "1857 MeKinley ea ins into ih? presidency, and the Republicans s?t about to "redeem the country" with high tariff. AND IN 1897 THE TO TAL NUMBER OF RAILROAD EM PLOYES FELL OFF TO 828,476. Republican Panic of 1907. Then In the fall of 1907 there was another panic under the Roosevelt ad ministration and under a Republican high tariff. Were the railroad men protected from loss of jobs? Scarce ly! The next year, 1908, the numbsr ol railroad employes fell off by 235,799, a decrease of 112 per 100 miles against 71 per 100 miles in 1894, tha year when the results of the panio of 1898 were felt most severely. So what is the use of trying to make fools of railroad men or of any other Americans by distorting figures? The truth is that theso fluctuations were not due to high tariff or low tariff. ? The program of the new party legal izes monopolies and systematically subordinates worklngmen to them and to plans made by the government both with regard to employment and with regard to labor. ? Woodrow Wil son. . . . The total number of rallwuy em ' pJoycB In 1895 wa? 786,044. The total number of railway era pldyeafi In 1911 was 1,699,809. tender Republican administration the number of railway employees has In creased from 785,034? during a Demo cratic adinlnlHtration? to 11,693,809, aa liu-roana of 944,775, nearly 1,000,000 m?i?. I>o you want a Democratic president / and return to conditions and number _ of ??mployeeji of 1895? The Taft people take 1895 because the last Democratic low tariff bill, known as the Wilson bill, \^ent into fcrce in 1894, and they would like to have railroad men believe that a Dem ocratic tariff revision made th^ hasd times. What the Facts Prove. Now, what are the facta? The "hard times" began back In 1R90, right, after the Republican high tariff, known aB the McKlnley tariff, went into effect. Orover Cleveland, the last Democratic president, was elected in 1892. The panic came on in 1893, not as a result of Cleveland's election, hut as a reeult of condltiona that had been growing steadily worse under Republican rule. The panic was over before tho Democratic tariff bill was passed In 1894, and after that proKperity began to return. Now let us m$ke a fair comparison of these railroad figures. In 1893, under the Republican high tariff, and with the panic on, there were 873,602 railroad men employed, dr 515 per 100 miles. In 1894, part high tariff and part low tariff, the number fell to 779,008, or 444 for 100 miles ? decrease 71 per 100 miles. Don't Worry! Pick up the pieces.
