All of these trusts are Republican in
politics.
Wages of employees have not been
increased cent.
ALL THE STOCKS ARE WATERED.
In the above table the dividend per-
centage is given at the lowest possible
| figure. When it is considered that all
these trust stocks are watered from 30
to so per cent, the dividend moral be-
comes all the more obvious.
These are only few of the Republic
can trusts which Hanna asserts do not
exist. There may have been sporadic
cases where foreman here, or a few
faithful worknen there, have had their
wages increased, but the decrease in
other directions has more than counter
balanced these benefits. In addition to
the concerns mentioned above, the trust
legislation OF the Republican party has
enabled every combination of capital in
this country to flourish. at the expense
of labor There is absolutely no excep-
ton.
In the face of this damning record,
how does Hanna dare to stand up and
tell an intelligent audience that the Re
publicans have made prosperity by leg
islation!
Whatever prosperity the worliingman
of this country enjoys is due to hard
work, unlimited capacity for suffering
and the saving grace of God, but never
to the Republican party.
THE DIVIDENDS AND THE WAGES
And speaking OF classes. let Hanna
and his holy band OF harp twangcrs
look at the above table and note the
heart breaking difference between the
percentage column of the trusts and
that of the worlingman, and then talk
OF Democratic arraignment of the
classes!
Here you have the classes with n
vengeance They are separated, cut
! out and defined by Republican legisla-
| ton. On one side pride and the pock
etbook. on the other poverty and the
| pick on one side the magnate in his
rolling carriage, bordering on his full
| purse. and on the other the hard
worked horse pondering on the promise
of n full nose-bag.
Whatever class lines exist have been
drawn by Hanna and his kind. 1t is
up to the voter to tear these lines down
by the legitimate use OF the ballot.
Trust not to Hanna for succor or sur
cease when he comes to buy your votes
with trust contributions. He who has
| deceived you once Will deceive you
again. In the face of his past record,
his arguments have not even the color
| Of a virtue.
