IN MINES AND QUARRIES

Industries Which Havs Greatly Prospered Under President Taft. From the Quincy. 111., Whig. The’ mining and quarrying Industry is one of the greatest industries in the United States During the administration of President Taft the miners have prospered, there have been fewer strikes than ever, and why should the miners vote for a change? The best is none too good tor the working people of this country, and they have been getting the best during the rf&st four years. Can they expect anything better under the administration of a Democratic president, when history teaches ns that this would be an utter impossibility? Illinois has 86,38$ persons engaged in the industry, a larger number than any other state in the east north central group, which consists of the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Do the voters of this great state want to continue to prosper, or do they prefer to go back to the old days when they worked for starvation wages? This is something for the thinking men of this country to ponder over. Yon cannot get away from the cold facts.
