Tuirt i" ?mi. pi
This Ih a Humple of the old lime He
publican habit of claiming credit for
all natural progress-- credit oven for
good >
it Ih truv that in 1910 the wages of
railroad employes amounted to hoiuo
$7 1,0011.1)1)0 more tliun In 1907.
Hut <hat represented .three year?'
progrt': >
In I *.?<)?> the amount paid to railroad
employee was $900,801 In 1907
It wuh $ 1 ,0752,886,427. 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!

?and possibly improve on them. Our ex
perience with thousands of eyes has made
