Figuring on Fake Prosperity

The republican party managers are
about to inaugurate scheme for again
deluding the workingman during a
presidential campaign. 1t is stated that
instead of making cash contributions
to the republican campaign fund the
big benefciaries of the present oppres-
sive tariff system will endeavor to
create the impression of prosperity by
employing large numbers of persons in
shops, mines, factories and mills until
after election. Thus will they make
their contributions, overproduce pro-
ducts in various industries and bring
ab3nt an intolerable situation for the
coming winter-anything to continue
the present unjust system of indirect
taxation, anything for votes to make Il
few richer and the many poorer While
employment will be welcomed by the
vast army of men now out of work, it
cannot be believed that they will be
again deceived by the too transparent
scneme Of certain republican campaign
managers.
