"Every railroad in the United

Mr. Marsh today, "will pass from

In the last three years, manufac

400,000,000 and less than one per
cent of this vast total is furnished

There are no more breadlines; there
is no unemployment; agriculture has
been given new life and industry is
driving forward with a new and tre

nation has increased 41,000,000,000
under Woodrow Wilson.
The answer is not to be found save
in the financial, economic and indus

the Federal Reserve bill that ended
the selfish rule of Wall Street, and
that in the face of Republican pro
