Cobb’s contract with the De- troit Tigers expired on October 15th. it had been made three years ago and called for an annual stipend of $9.- 000. ‘Ty' notified President Frank .I. Navin, in Detriot, that he desired a contract for three years, and the figures must be $15,000 per season, cr $45,000 for the full period. While in New. York recently a cotton brok- [er, who is a member of a firm known throughout the land, sent for Cobb He had heard of his salary demands, and he immediately made him an offer. “Come with me as a cotton brok-r, Ty, and I'll give you $15,000 a year, not for one or three years, but for ten, twenty or thirty,’ the Wall Street man is reported to have said. ‘In fact, I can promise you that in three or four years you will be mak- ing more than $15,000 a year. You know cotton better than any man on the Street. You have lived down there all your life and will be worth $15,000 to our firm.’ “Cobb did not give any answer. But he promised to comsider the off- er.

EASY TO MAKE FIGURES LIE | 0id Trick of Setting Red Lights on a Cicar Trach—Facls Presented .0 Raiircad Men May Judge. The Republican national committee is distributing circulars among rail 10ad men predicting a panic and hard times in the event of Democratic vie tory. Among their statcments intend- ed to mislead railroad men is this; RAILROAD MEN, I STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! LEST YOU FORGET §71,338,879, Big sum of money, isn't it? Nevertheless it's exactly that much more pald to the railroad employees of the United States under the admin- istration of President Taft in 1910 than was paid in 1907, the year before Mr. Taft became president, This is a sample of the old time Re publican habit of claiming credit for ail natural progress—credit even for good crops. It is true that in 1910 the wages of railroad employes amounted to some $71,000,000 more than in 1907. But that represented three years® | Progress. In 1906 the amount paid to railroad employes was $900,801,653. In 1907 it was $1,072,386,427. This was an in- crease of $171,684,774 in a single year preceding the Taft administration, amounting to more than double the ine rcase during three years of the Taft administration. lsn't it obvlous that they are pre- = suming you won't have the statistics at hand to inform yourself and that therefore they will fool you into be litving that the Taft administration wade railroad men's prosperity ? Then stop, look, listen again! In four years preceding Taft's ade ninistration 1,163 miles of railroad were sold under foreclosure. The stocks and bonds of these roads | amounted to $47,031,000. Under three yenrs of the Taft ad ministration 5,115 miles were foreclos ed, involving $581,434,662, The Tariif Humbug Again. A still more palpab'e presumption by Republicans that r. iroad men are fools s the following statement in their circular: The total number of rallway eme ployes in 1806 was 78,034, The total number of rallway ployecs in 1911 was 1,699,809, Under Republican administration the number of rallway employees has in- oveased from 6,03¢-during a Demo- cratic administration—to $1,699,809, an Increase of 944,775, nearly 1,000,000 men. ems Do you want a Democratic president and return to conditions and number of employees of 18957 The Taft people take 1895 because | & Xnown as the Wiison bill, went inte | 3! the last Democratic low tariff bill, force In 1894, and they would like te have rallroad men believe that a Dem- ocratic tarift revision made the hard | { times. What the Facts Prove. Now, what are the facts? The “hard times” began back In|’ 1290, right after the Republican high tariff, known as the McKinley tariff, went into effect. Geover Cleveland, the last Democratic president, was elected in 1892. The panic came on || 1893, not as a result of Cleveland's |3 election, but as a result of conditions that had been growing steadily worse under Republican rule. The panic was over before the Democratic tarift bill was passed in 1894, and after that prosperity began to return. Now let us make a fair comparison of these raliroad figures. In 1893, under the Republican high tariff, and with the paaic on, there were 873,602 rallroad men employed, : or 516 per 100 miles. In 1894, part high tariff and part|g ‘Sow tariff, the number fell to 779,608, or 444 for 100 miles—decrease 71 per |4 100 miles. From this year on, so long as the Democratic administration was in pow or, conditions improved steadily. In 1895 the total number of railroad men at work was increased to 786,034, In 1896 it was 826,620. In 1897 McKinley came into the presidency, and the Republicans set about to “redeem the country” with high tari?. AND IN 1897 THE TO- TAL NUMBER OF RAILROAD EM- PLOYES FELL OFF TO 82347¢. Republican Panic of 1907. Then in the fall of 1907 there was another panic under the Roosevelt.ad ministration and under a Republican high tarif. Were the railroad mea protected from loss of jobs? Scarce ly! The next year, 1908, the number of rallroad employes fell off by 285,799, a decrease of 112 per 100 miles against 71 per 100 miles in 1894, the year when the results of the panig of 1898 were felt most severely. 80 what is the use of trylng to make fools of railroad men or of any other Americans dy distorting figures? The truth is that these fluctuations were not due to high tariff or low The program of the new party legal- izes monopolies and systematicaily subordinates workingmen to them and to plans made by the government both with regard to employment and with regard to labor.—Woodrow Wik 110 & genealogist and gets descended | 0. oY LINE INCLUDES ewspapers C(nmc and see me before pur- chasing patronage appreciated. i NOTICE OF ELECTION.
