1t is undoubtedly true, as stat
e1 by President Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation of
Labor, that never before in the
history of the world were so ma
ny people employed at such high
wages and under such excellent
conditions as is the case in the
United States today. But what
is the reason? An immense num-
ber of men are employed in the
United States because millions of
men in Europe have been taken
out Of industrial employment to
engage in the destructive en-
ployment of war. We are per-
forming productive work for
them while they are engaging in
destruction. Moreover, the war
has shut off immigration and
caused thousands of foreign born
residents Of America to go home,
with the net result of reducing
our population 1,25O,OOO below
what it would have been under
normal conditions. Mr.. Gompers
is right as to employment and |
wages. He is not entirely right |
as to other conditions, for many |
laborers have found the cost of |
living increased in a greater de-
gree than their wages, as com.
pared with 1912.

A relic of the very old political
days has been turned to light in
Darke county and as a result Repub-
liCan voters throughout the county
will be astounded That there used
to be a time when a few politicians
in Darke county could pretend to
deliver the county to a chosen
candidate, is admitted but few peo-
pie dreamed that such tactics were
to be resumed in the Republican
Senatorial contest in this year OF
Grace, one thousand nine hundred
and sixteen.
That such a bold attempt has been
made upon the part of the managers
of the Herrick campaign in this
county has just been confirmed, and
number of prominent Republicans
are emphatic in their denunciation
of those responsible for the attempt
to deliver" them.
Herrick campaign managers in
Darke county had to make a show
ing. They thought out a scheme
which they imagined would allow
them to make great fash of power
with the Cleveland candidate. A
list of names was compiled, the
name "Herrick Voters League" Sc
lected and then on paper a great
organization" was born.
At first glance the organization
appeared to be a formidable one,
when a flood Of form letters appear
ed carrying along the side margin a
long list of we'll known officers and
committeeman.
But here is where the story starts.
The men never formed any such
organization. No authority was ev-
er given for the use of nearly all the
names appearing as part of the or
ganization. The ones who perpe-
trated the fraud are known, and a
great majority of the men whose
names have been so wrongfully ap-
propriated now come forward and
publicly proclaim the whole matter
as a fraud, pure and simple.
Il am for Harry Daugherty for
United States Senator" said Ed
Moore, prominent Republican COM
mitteeman Of Adams township, "and
| don't want to be misrepresented."
Il never expressed to anyone my
choice in the Senatorial contest,
said George Myers, whose Republi-
canism has never been questioned,
"but now want to tell you that L
am for Daugherty; l don't propose
to be delivered by anyone"
So expressed dozens of the men
whose names have been wrongfully
used by the Herrick Campaign man J
ayers.

A pretty GOod instance of the
protection afforded by the war is
the case of Germany. Ddrinp
the ten months ended April, 1914,
Germany sent to US $16O, 600, 900
worth of her pr0ducts-mostly
manufactured goods. During the
period ended April. 1915, her ex-
ports to US were cut to $50, ,OOO,-
600. The British blockade had
not yet thrown its strangle hold
around the realm of the Kaiser.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1916-07-20

During the period ended April,
1916, nearly $13, 900, 900 worth OF
goods leaked through, or passed
around and into the United States
from Germany.
That is a choking off of trade
of which even arch-protectionists
complain, but it has had d won
derful effect in speeding up our
own industries. If fGermany can
not export to us, she can not ex-
port to South American coun-
tries. and the latter must look to
US for their supplies. flour man
ufacturers can feel secure in their
home market, they can go ahead
aad enter the lists for the cap
ture Of foreign markets. In the
past year or SO that has been
done by us to greater degree
than ever before in the same
length of time. The Democratic
party is making a great brass
band display of this increase inj
South American trade. They at |
it to their commercial pol |
icies-the same policies that had
this country going g.oggy before
the first gun fired in the Euro
Oean war called off the attack ofI
our foreign competitors on our
market, and gave US chance tol
AXE some of theirs.
