try are spending 100000 less each
day for bread and clothes and the 9TH
er= necessaries of life than they did a
year age.
There are 800, 900 idle men in New
York; GOO idle men in Chicago; &c.
900 idle men in Pittsburgh; $4,000 idle
men in San Francisco. We are facing
the awful problem of unemployed ev-
erywhere. There are more idle men
in this nation today than ever before.
Every day that the Democratic Par
ty has been in power We have bought
more from the foreigner and sold him
less.
Every day we have lost in our for
eign trade more than half million
dollars Every day the nation has
gone in debt half a million dollars,
Every day the number of unemployed
has increased. Every day mills and
factories have closed. Every day since
this Democratic Administration went
into power more than 10000 men have
been forced into idleness. Every day
the wage earners of this nation are
losing more than S5,000000
Every day that Woodrow Wilson has
been in the White House the business
of this nation has decreased more than
twenty million dollars. This Is the
price of democracy This is the price
that the people pay to have the at
fairs OF this nation controlled by aca-
demic doctors and efficiency experts,
by gowned theorists and scholarly
dreamers, by pedantic pundits and
Chautauqua performers, by learned al
lusionists and grape-juice statesmen.
But we are told that all this is mere
ly psychological. The President has
assured the country that what ii needs
is more legislation. He has assured
the country that there is nothing
wrong with Democratic administra-
ticn, or with Democratic laws. The
only difficulty is that the business men
of the nation are too stupid to appre-
ciate the blessings that have been be-
slowed upon them. The only lemedy
is to give them more of what they
have already received. The President
has served notice on the country that
Congress is to be kept in session all
summer to enact further legislation
that will practically destroy what lit
tie business is left.
1t may be psychological, but 1t is a
truth that no candid man can deny
that every day that Congress stays
il session that business grows less.
The greatest blessing that this Con-
gress could possibly bestow upon the
country would be to adjourn and never
meet again. There is this slight conso-
lation, however, that While Congress is
in session destroying the business of
the country they are also destroying
what remains of the now discredited
to the President to stop further legis-
lation, but his reply has been that
they simply imagine that they are be-
ing injured.

A plan for combining actual work on

"PsychoIoaical Conditions"

If you have not felt the press of the
country's conditions. you are fortu-
nate. But that you may know some
thing of what such conditions mean
to others, you should read the epigram
matte summary given by Hon. W. Z.
Humphrey of Washington, before the
New York county committee, Murray
Hill Lyceum, New York, city, Thurs
day night Here are some of the re-
suits of his Investigations:
The Democratic Party went into
power upon the general promise that
they would better conditions that had
existed in this country under a Re-
publican rule. We have had now
little more than six months expert
ence under democratic tariff law and
the New Freedom" and what is the
result? Here are some of the results
of Democratic Administration that
was to bless the nation with unex-
ampled prosperity:
/ compare 1913 to 1912, although dur
ing 1913 we had but three months OF
the Democratic tariff law, and ten
months of Democratic Administration,
but even that much democracy is
strikingly different in the results.
The bank clearances in 1912 were s4,-
175,0o0,00O. greater than in 1913.
The number of corporations recorded
in 1912, was s713, 100000 more than those
recorded in 1913.
On the last day of January, 1913 the
United States Steel Corporation had
orders for 7,S50,000 tons of steel. On
January l, 1914, it had orders for A.
100000 tons. On the first day of this
month it had orders for 3,99S,000. What
could tell a more distressing story?
Steel is one of the great business
barometers of the nation. Today, more
than third of the steel mills in the
entire country are closed.
Today, the steel production in this
country is 40 per cent below normal.
Today, there are $50, Oo0, 900 invested
in idle steel mills.
Today, there are a million idle men
in the iron and steel associated indus
tries, representing a daily payroll of
more than 100000.
Today, there are 275,000 miners in
tnls country out OF work that In Re
publican times were earning $750,000,o00
annually.
Today, there are 2SS, 900 idle freight
cars, the largest number in the history
OF this nation. When the Republican
party went out of power there was
| none.
| Today, there are more than 100000
railroad men out of employment that
were receiving more than million dol
! lars day in wages when Woodrow
| Wilson went into the White House.
Today, the waga earners of this ma
ton are losing more than $4,000, 900
every twenty-four hours.
| In six months, the Democratic Ad-
ministration has wiped out an annual
payroll of more than sS00000,000
This 100000 each day has been TAX
en- from the ordinary channels of
trade This has brought depression and
financial ruin to every business and
to every section of the country. This
s5,oooooo in wages daily taken from
the working people of this nation
means that the workmen of this coun-
