tic exports IN the 1Ul years under the
constitution have been SCI, e92, 739 ,s4A.
of which sum 1898, s1S, 79l-occurred
during the thirty years of protection,
the total exports during the seventy-ons
years being but sc. 052 1921 ,052.
It shows that under twenty-five years
of protection 1885,. GOO, 600 pounds Of
cotton were sent abroad against 80, 10S,-
600, 900 pounds in the preceding sixty
years Both these statements show the
fallacy of .ile Democratic claim that
protective tariff closes the markets OF
other parts of the world to Amemca.
1t shows that the product of the farms
of the country has been greatly IL
creased under protection. In twenty
years under protection we have ex-
ported So. l47 900, 900 worth of bread
stuffs against 1860. 0e0 in the proceed
ing fifty years. The exports of meat
products under twenty-five years of pro-
lection have been 6,39l .0GO 600 pounds
against AGO coo, 900 pounds in eighty
one years of low tariff preceding
1t shows that under reciprocity there
has been an increase Of many millions
of dollars in our exports to Central and
South American countries, and that in
many articles the increase has amounted
to from 50 to $50 per cent.
1t shows that the Republican party
has been the author and finisher of all
the pension legislation enacted in behalf
of the old soldiers. Nearly every pen
sion bill before congress was voted
against by more than half of the Demo
Gratis in congress. A tabulation Of the
votes cast on the important pension bills
enacted since the war shows sol Demo
cratic votes for the bills. 902 Democratic
votes against them, 1921 Republican
votes for the bills and two Republican
votes against them.
1t shows that the so called force bill is
nothing more than an extension to all
parts of the country of the eminently
Just federal election laws now in force
in ali the great cities, and which Mr..
Cleveland and his subordidates made use
of while he was president in their efforts
to re-elect him.
1t shows Mr.. Cleveland's veto record
as a startling evidence of his hostility to
the working people and the masses. His
vetoes while governor included the me-
chanics' lein law, the bill making en-
ployers responsible for accidents from
imperfect machinery, of inferior con-
struction Of buildings, the bill FORBID
ding the manufacture of cigars in tene-
ment houses, the bill making ten hours
days work for street railroad compa-
MES, the bill prohibiting elevated rail
roads from charging more than five cents
fare. the bill requiring all state printing
to be done by union workmen, the
bill abolishing convict labor in prisons,
the child labor BILL and while president
he vetoed the anticonvict labor bill in
1886 and again in 1888.
1t shows that Cleveland recommended
in his message on Dec. 6, 1886, the en-
featuring pursuits and the use by the
government of the products of their
labor.
1t shows that the average rate of
wages in the United States is fully dou-
BILE that in Great Britain. Taking list
of nineteen occupations, such as manu-
facture of boots and shoes, cotton goods.
carpet weavers, printers. mill hands.
ETC., the average rate of wages in the
United States is $2.56 per DAY and in
Great Britain *1.23.
1t shows that in Democratic states the
average rate of wages for farm hands is
eighty-three cents day, and in Repub
lican states it is $1.35.
It shows the volume of business done
through the banks in Democratic states
TO be So, 1888, us, G24, and In Republican
states to be -. S92 ,374, 1872
1t shows tnat the amount of circulat-
ing medium per capita is almost double
now what it was when the Democrats had
had constant control of the government
for many years-the per capita amount
of money in circulation in 1860 being
1885 and the amount per capita in
1892 being $24.32, per capita rate
equaled by very few countries in the
civilized world.
Also thousands of other interesting
facts.
