the three-quarters Of century Of our ma
tional existence before the Civil war.
During the century and third preceding
the Inauguration of President Wilson and
the turning on Of the new freedom, prac-
tically every mile of railway and inter-
urban telegraph and telephone lines was
constructed; practically all our mines
were discovered and developed; practic-
ally all our lands were settled and i'm
roved; practically all our factories and
homes were bulit; practically all of our
population was acquired, our cities built.
In other words practically the entire pro
ductive capacity of the United States had
been DEVELOPED, and our real wealth &C.
cumulatrl, with an incidental develor.
ment of 1000 fortunes of a million or
more. And in seven years of Democratic
administration, accompanied by practic-
ally no increase in our. productive capa-
city or development Of our national re-
sources, twice as many millionaires, with
two thousand more to boot were made. In
other words through speculative activity
more than twice as = many mili0naires
were created in less than seven years
than through all Our;nlarvelous growth in
productive power the American people
had developed through all our preceding
national history. YES a..

information from official sources that
last year the banks OF the country earned

resources of the national banks, we are
proudly advised by the treasury depart
ment, have increased more in the past
five years than in the preceding fifty.
What the colonel really ought to do is
to look up,all the spots on the map where
he has made speeches against the pluto
Gratis and the profiteers and the money
devils in the past, not to mention the plac
es in the railway guide where he told the
people in 1916 that Mr.. Wilson was going
! to keeplus out. of war, and, appropriately
draped in sack cloth and ashes, utter his
abject apologies to the millions he has
helped to dupe. The people OF this coun-
try have stood for good deal in the way
of political charlatanism in. the past, but
another campaign against the plutocrats
