SOME BALD FACTS.
The Republican campaign
sund in 1908 amounted to 81, 665,
518,27.
The Democratic fund was
S62O, 644,1 The Republicans
had more than a million in ex.
cess of the Democrats.
The number who contributed
20 the Republican fund was r.
go, and to the Democratic fund,
$4,000. In other words, the
humber of contributors to the
Democratic fund was six times
greater, and their contributions
amounted to million dollars
less. The contributors to the
Republican fund, as a rule, were
interested in legislation, the mon
ey coming from such as J. Pier
pont Morgan, Charles P. Taft,
Andrew Carnegie, Charles M.
Schaub, John Jacob Astor and
the heads of the various wooden
mills who desired the passage of
he Payne-Aldrich law, together
with donations from the Wall
street banks, railroad magnates,
and individuals representing the
tariff trusts.
The contributors to the Demo-
cratic fund were not personally
interested in legislation.
The contributions to the Re
publican fund ranged from $11O,-
600 downward, while contribu-
tons to the Democratic fund
ranged from $500 downward.
ELEvATING" THE woRKINGMAN.
President Mckinley, in one of
his speeches, said: 1T must be
conceded that the protective
system has dignified and elevat-
ed labor. We observe its tri-
lmphs on every hand"
The industries most benefited
10y the high protective policy are
steel, wool and cotton manufac-
turing, and we observe the
methods by which these trusts
have "dignified and elevated"
labor. We observe one result of
his "elevating" process in the
Lawrence, Mass, strike, were
whole regiments. with drawn
bayonets, are required to keep
order among men, women and
children who are trying to retain
their present wages of Sc. 81 and
80 a week in which a cut has
been threatened.
The 'elevating" process is to
DE seen, in the flower of its
beauty and triumph, in the steel
trusts mills, where men are
forced to labor ~ hours a week
for the same wages paid laborers
for Sc hours work in free trade
England. Still another evidence
of the "eleyating" effect of pro-
lection on labor is seen in the
employment, by the trusts, of
thousands of children.
A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Millions for defence; not one
cent for tribute"
The American Wooden Mills
company, the wooden trust, spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars
in magazine advertising, the pur-
pose of which was to educate
the people into seeing the justice
IF Schedule *" and the way il
was making sheep raisers rich
oy paying big price for wool
and the way it was selling gooC
cloth to the American people for
less than they really ought t.
pay.
And then, when the worker,
in its mills objected to cut in
the Sc week wages they were
getting, the wooden company EN-
ployed an army Of guards t.
protect its mills. When tn,
state shortened the hours of la
Dor, of course wages had to com,
down. Of course that patriot,
company wouldn't pay % cent
per week to its operatives il
order that they might hav,
shorter hours and still get Sc
week.
