1--WE are writing ourselves down in
history as the most criminally extrava-
giant Congress that ever sat on the
American Continent, not by millions of
dollars but by hundreds of millions of
dollars.
In face of this disgraceful showing OF
the Democratic ADMINISTRATION, so adj
mitted by prominent members of that

munities those so partisan and enthus-
iastic in endorsing Wilson and such
extravaganza that they scarcely take

THAT FULL DINNER PAIL,

Relying fooishly upon the full din
ner pail to accomplish for them what
It has so often accomplished for the
Republican party, the Democrats pro-
coed to pile extravaganza upon ex-
trayagance and to make fiabby claims
of being at peace, even when we are
at war, says the Detroit Journal.
For the dinner pail has been filled
with munition money. which presently
must be supplanted by the true coin
age of protected American industry
after the war.
And while the dinner pail is full
observe with what inflated foods.
This administration promised the
worker a lower cost of living. But,
as a matter of fact, to the worker
Democratic prosperity is a false pros
perity. 1t Is mirage.
Every man with dinner pail
knows that, unless his wages have
been increased 20 per cent. under
Democratic munition prosperity, he is
poorer than he was four years ago.
For Wilson rents are from 20 to 40
per cent. higher; the Wilson meat.
the Wilson sugar and the Wilson wool
are 40 per cent. higher. and the VIII
son steel and tin and household goods
are from 20 to 40 per cent. higher.
The Wilson bread has advanced
faster than the Wilson wage, and the
Wilson taxes have risen higher than
the Wilson prosperity.
Democracy may have enriched the
munition manufacturer but has II
enriched the worker, whose cost of
living has Increased faster than his
earnings7
If the Administration can re-elect
itself on the ground that the worker
is obliged TO move ont OF his home
into an inferior one. or has to double
up IN tenements and to take In board,
ers TO make up for his loss OF eco
monte advantage under the present
increased cost Of living. then there i
no reason why the Administration
should not be rs extravagant in Its
taxes as II choosed,
