Show In all the history of progressive labor never has this class been so favorably situated, both as to employment, remuneration re-muneration and accumulated surpluses, surplus-es, as at the present day, the only cases of idleness being the result of strikes from an oxereagerness to obtain ob-tain greater remuneration than conditions condi-tions Justify. In fact, this Is the only cloud tluvt darkens the most prosperous prosper-ous day labor has ever known. Never was the character of the country's cx-ports,both cx-ports,both agricultural and manufactured, manufact-ured, so dlvcrslllcd as It Is today, and never have our exports reached as many markets as now. The markets of the Orient and those of our new possessions have never presented so promising and growing a future. Never was there a time when the metallc resources of the country could compare with the present, when the accumulation of gold and silver exceeded In their totals all records of this or any other country. And yet Democratic papers suggest the need of chango of administration. The idea is ridiculous and thinking men give little consideration to the shouts of "Imperialism" "trusts." It Is the general expression of the people that the country can better afford to trust tho "trusts" than trust the Democratic Demo-cratic paity. |
