"LEST WE FORGET"

Do you remember. Mr. Working
man, industrial conditions that OBJ.
tanned throughout the country fol
sixteen months Immediately preced-
ing the outbreak of the great Euro
pean war following the inaugural
ton Of Woodrow Wilson. as presi-
dent of the United States, and the
turning over of the destines of the
nation to the democratic party?
Do you recall, Mr.. Railroad EN-
ployee, those thousands upon thous
ands of empty freight cars that con-
ed the sidings of every railroad
in the country, and the additional
Thousands OF white loaded locomo-
tives standing like the shrouded
dreds OF thousands of your fellow
workingmen who, during this
period were working short time, or
not working at all; Of bitter pinch
of retrenchment that gripped at the
heart strings of every workingman' S
household when the echo Of the over
crowded bread line reverberated
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Canadian border to the
lt?o Grande?
DID it ever occur to you that, what
ever, prosperity the country at pres
ent enjoys. is due entirely to the eff
fects of the great European war, and
not to the wisdom, craftsmanship or
to foresight of the present admin
straton at Washington?
Are you further aware that 60 per
cent of the export trade of the Unit
ed States during the first ten months
of this war was made up entirely of
war munitions?
"And where are you going to be
when the war babies die and business
slips back to cold, hard, normal
basis?"
Again, has the Underwood tariff
law, as enacted by the present demo-
cratic administration, reduced the
expenses fyour household?
1t was under republican admins
tration that the safety appliance act
was passed, which provided a greater
safeguard for railroad employees
A republican administration has am
ended the safety appliance act in
such a way as to provide a greater
degree Of protection to safety appli
ances than was formerly accorded.
The republican administration was
also responsible for the passage Of
the hours of service act, which pre-
VeIllS employees from DcCOHllllS uH-
duly exhausted through working
hours of labor that were excessive.
The Employers Liability Act Of 1906
was passed during republican adj
ministration.
In view of the foregoing, do you
not think, in the light of ordinary
common sense, and justifiable self
interest, that it is high time the aft
airs of the country were again placed
in charge of those who have in the
past proven themselves capable Of
guarding our interests?
Do you think if Charles e. Hughes
is elected president this end will be
automatically guaranteed, and that
the laboring men of the country will
have the satisfaction of enjoying
permanent level of prosperity with
man at the helm who has proven
himself to be one of the firmest,
most logical and consistent friends
of labor in American public life to?
day?

cables. This was due to investment
buying. based largely on the belief that
the recent break of over cents
pound was sufficient for the time being,
at least. Some of the early buying was
done by prominent spot firms, but this
demand became more noticeable later
on, and as prices neared the bottom
contracts were snapped up sharply by
agents for Southern and Eastern mills,
especially the former. As a result
prices rallied about 20 points from low
levels. This buying was calculated 70
confirm claims that most Southern
holders of actual cotton were ignoring
the lower prices for futures. In New
Orleans prices showed no change, 1,785
bales selling at Is cents. Augusta was
also unchanged, with sales of 1874 bales
at 1853 cents, while Norfolk sold 1913
bales at I'm cents, an advance of u
cent. Other markets were inactive, but
generally firm.

Cotton

The question of peace or war IN hu-
rope continued as the principal factor
in the cotton market yesterday, but II
exerted an influence directly opposite
TO that Of Tuesday. In short, the
course Of prices was abruptly reversed
and they lost about two-thirds OF Tues
davis gain. showing net losses at the
close Of from AZ 20 As points, although
at one time losses Of from 81 70 90
points were recorded. Traders here
took their cue 10 a large extent from
the action Of Liverpool. II was argued
that IL peace seemed at all probable
cotton prices there would advance
sharply, as the resultant material re-
duction in freight and insurance rates
would undoubtedly quicken the demand
for cotton 70 a marked degree. More
over. il WAS pointed out that with the
return Of normal conditions Continen-
tai spinners would reenter our mar
kets and compete with British buyers.
Hence, the course Of prices in Liver
pool was considered decidedly dlscour-
aging.
Instead Of being roundly % points
higher, as expected, prices there were
lower, as a rule. with net losses at the
close of 10 20 q English points. Large
selling orders were received from Great
Britain, and il was stated that close 20
100000 bales were sold, largely for the
purposes of reversing "straddles" on
account Of the narrowing OF the diff
ferences between the two markets.
At the start offerings were also fairly
large from certain spot firms and also
from Wall Street spectators, largely
because Of the weakness IN Liverpool.
Opening prices in the lpeal market
showed declines Of from r'to % points,
which was much better than generally
expected in view of the discouraging

Wheat.-In view OF the remarkable
developments Tuesday il was small
wonder that wheat markets we're ex-
ceedingly feyerish and unsettled yes
terday. As was 10 be expected, dealers
were confused by the great doubt pre-
vailing respecting the proposed peace
parley. Consequently price fuctua-
tons were strikingly erratic, advances
and recessions following with great
rapidity and at times without valid
reason.
Early in the session there was
stronger tendency, during midday de-
cline and later in the session an up
turn. In the main, however. the
average price level was higher, partly
shown in the stronger tendency in cash
wheat markets and particularly in the
case OF Manitoba wheat, which was
higher.
Numerous periods OF buoyancy were
attributed TO q better class of buy
ing, it being stated that a prominent
Western operator had bought at least
1000, 900 bushels. In addition it was
stated that prominent interests, in
GLIDING export agents, had bought
freely Of cash wheat and future con-
tracts in Winnipeg. The rebound was
considered entirely natural, it being
generally agreed that Tuesdays break
was far greater than justified. Cable
advices were somewhat encouraging,
English markets showing comparative
fimness.
In spite Of the facts described there
we're several occasions when free sell
ing occurred for both accounts, ard
hence after all the net improvement
vas rather unimportant, although the
December, which sold as low as $3.50,
closed cents up, while May, which
was down 10 SISSY. rallied 20 sl.67h.
IL was claimed that exporters were
in receipt OF fair orders, but could
accomplish nothing of much i'm
portance because Of the scarcity Of

Metals

The weeks advances in finished steel
products, according to "The Iron Age"
have been in spikes, which have been
long out of line, in tie-plates, sheets
and in iron and rail carbon bars. Some
producers have put up spikes $40 ton;
western producers with more modera-
ton have made a 81 advance. Wire
products are expected 10 go higher,
probably 81 or 50 ton, before Janu-
airy ].
II is expected that the contract price
on sheet bars for the first quarter OF
1917 will be fixed az close to $50. For
export billets and sheet bars $50 has
been paid, and Central Western sale
