Lest We Forget 1914 I
VOU know that business was good in 1912 and the The Wilson-Underwood tarif{ bill was passed in I
* early part 01 1913. Woodrow Wilson and a Dem- October, 1913. Business immediately began to show
ocratic Congress came into power on March 4th, 1913. signs of stagnation and recession. ||
In New York, Governor Giynn,
when thousands were working for 10 cents
an hour, sent a special message to the New
York Legislature in which he said:
"Public attention has been forcibly turned to
the fact that a large number of men are un
able to find employment. During the past
Fall and Winter the problem of the unem
ployed has steadily grown more acute. For
the man who is not sincerely anxious to secure
work the public has no sympathy. For the
man who is anxious to work but cannot find
employment the State has sympathy and a
very real concern.^/

AT INDIANAPOLIS the Central Labor Union issued a cir
cular, part of which is reproduced in the following facsimile:
STAY AWAY

Coming To This City.
Thousands of Men Are Walking 'the
Streets Every Day Looking for Work.

]n Qhi?> Governor Willis sent a
specif message to the Legislature, in which
lie
"I have no desire to dwell on the unhappy
j(1(]u?irial conditions existing in Ohio and other
State?- Nevertheless the fact remains that
thousands of able bodied young honest men
and^'ornen are out of employment."
When this message appeared in the Ohio
pap^5 ^ was accompa-nied with the comment

every thoughtful man knows that Europe
will no longer need to buy from us these
quantities of goods. Therefore, the work
required to make them will not exist.
Furthermore, the millions of men who
are now in the armies of Europe will go
back into their factories and again begin to
manufacture goods to sell to us at prices
based on low wvages, just as they did dur
ing the few months after the passage of
the Underwood tariff bill.
There never was a plainer proposition.
H on next Tuesday you vote for Wilson,
you will vote in favor of restoring at the
close of the European war the same in
dustrial conditions in this countrv that
existed at the time the war broke out.
If you vote for Hughes you will vote for
a protective tariff that will prevent a re
turn of such conditions. We are for the
full dinner pail after the war.
We are for continuing the smoke from
our factory chimneys when we no fonder
manufacture munitions. Our whole in
