Nevertheless It's exactly that much more paid to the railroad employees of the United States-under the administration of President Taft In 1?10 thaa was paid in 1807. the year before Mr. Taft became president. This is a sample of the old time Republican habit of claiming credit for all natural progress?credit even for good crops. Ill It is true that In 1910 the wages of I Jjfij raj I road employes amounted to some j ||| 171,000,000 mere than In 1907. m But that represented threo years' progress. R In 1906 the amount paid to railroad ll|r ampkiyes was 1900,601,653. In 1907 B It was $1,072.366,427.

Qrover Cleveland, i the last Democratic president, wm i elected In 1892. The panic came on in 1893, not as a result of Cleveland's election, hot as a result of conditions that had been growing steadily worse under Republican rule. The panic was : over before the Democratic tariff bill I was passed In 1894, and after that prosperity began to return. Now let us make a fair comparison f of these railroad figures.
