Show I I LET US SEE I A contemporary quotes lovingly from the Baltimore American that prosperity prosper-ity Is to be the slogan in this campaign i It was the slogan In 1832 when the echo was heard In the landslide which swept the shoulers from power That Is partly true but what became of those who did the sweeping In less than a year three hundred thousand of them wlio had had profitable situation situa-tion up to that time were walking the highways like common tramps It was an era of the Coxey army regime Twentyfive per cent of the workingmen working-men between the seas were thrown out employment They lost their wages they had to bo supported on charity The property of the country fell In the next two years 25 per cent In value and the landslide so far as these men were concerned was caused by the lies published In the Baltimore American Ameri-can and other Democratic Journals as to the Iniquity of one great corporation corpora-tion in i Pennsylvania that was pressIng press-ing its worklngmen while an investigation investiga-tion after tho election l showed as re pprted bj a Democratic chairman of the committee In Congress that the men on whom so much sympathy had been wasted were receiving at the time higher wages than were ever paid any such classes of men before Do the worklngmen of this country want to repeat that experiment The same contemporary copies from one Dr Richard T Ely who says When walking in Charles street In Baltimore the other day I saw a huge poster sotting forth the growing wealth of a nQwlydoveloped region In Virginia and among other attraction for capitalists capi-talists I noticed this Cheap labor And he adds I have been turning that over in my mind ever since A wonderful Impeachment of prosperity pros-perity Aa though labor had not always al-ways been cheap in the South since the war the labor that was not paid anything before the war when the Democracy De-mocracy ruled triumphant It does pay a little since and fO any man can advertise any place in the South and offer as one of the inducements cheap labor and he cannot prove anything any-thing exc6pt that men who formerly were slaes can still be employed at very cheap wages and one reason Is trey render very cheap service tIn t-in the region where labor has always been paid never before was so large a proportion of laboring men employed and never before at wages so generous |
