should be surprised if any gentleman fac
ing me will rise and testify that his bust
ness was unusually successful, his earn
ing power unusually large. or his living
expenses unusually small. AS a matter
of fact, we were enjoying generally in
those days, throughout the country, the
worst times since the Civil War. On Au-
gust LIST, 1914, the business of the country
was sick, sick almost unto death; sud-
denly 1t began to revive, orders for all
sorts of material began to pour in, farm
products of all kinds began to rise in
price, hundreds of thousands unem-
ployed workmen went back to work at
high wages. Soon business was booming,
some businesses as they had never doomed
before.
What had happened? What caused the
enormous demand for American products
of the factory, farm and mine? Were
they being sold at home? Were they be-
ing used for the upbuilding of American
institutions? Not at all. They were all
being shipped out of the country, to feed.
clothe and arm. directly or indirectly, the
warning nations of Europe. Let me give
you an instance of particular industry
an industry of which l can speak with
some authority because it is the largest
and most important in my congressional
district-the machine tool industry. On
August 1, 1914, many Of the machine tool
factories in my district were closed, and
none were working more than 20 per cent
capacity; few working more than two or
three days a week; two-thirds of their
force of skilled mechanics were laid off
and the same conditions am reliably in
formed prevailed throughout the country.
BY the first Of October 1914 they were
running full blast; instead of % per cent,
they were running at 100 per cent capaci-
ty. Why? Because orders had poured
in from abroad for the machinery where
with to make things used directly or in
directly in making war Not a machine,
large or small was being sold in the
American market, practically none is to-
day, and yet these factories are still be-
ing run at 100 per cent. capacity. Is this
condition due to Democratic legislation?
