Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 62, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 November 1918 — Business Says: [ARTICLE]

Business Says:

We believe that the country is safe in the hands of President Wilson and the Democratic party. In the business management of our public affairs they have met the crucial test. In two years the annual expenses of the government in financing the war expanded from $1,000,000,000 to more than $20,000,000,000. This great expansion and readjustment has come without a shock to the commercial interests or to the country’s credit. The Federal Reserve Act, urged by President Wilson and passed by a Democratic Congress, not only kept our business on a solid basis, but made it possible to finance the war and to extend enormous credits to our Allies. If it had not been for this Democratic law, business in America would have been paralyzed. No other act of preparedness for war can compare with this. It enables every section to manufacture its products, move its crops, pay its labor and keep every line of commercial activity properly provided with funds. A President and a party that have so wisely protected our commerce, so successfully prosecuted the war and taken such wonderful care of our soldiers, can be safely trusted with the conclusion of the war and with the solving of the problems that will follow. The country is in safe hands—let’s keep it there.
