8 pp., 8 pp., 8 pp. 8vo. The mid-term elections of 1884 were a disaster for the Democrats led by Grover Cleveland. Republicans and Populists, in large part due to the efforts of Joseph Weeks Babcock (1850-1909), a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin, who helped organize the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee in 1893 and was a major force in routing the Democrats in the 1894 House elections which cost the Democrats 113 of their 218 seats. They are most likely printed by Hartman & Cadick, Republican printers. All follow the same format of quoting leading figures and using bold face type. 1: [Caption title] "If the Laboring Class be to Perish, I Say, the Whole Nation." A the head of the title: [No. 1 - From the Congressional Record]. The caption title is from the English Reformer William Cobbett followed by "You cannot reduce the laborer to a state of starvation and degradation without also destroying national prosperity," a quote from Joseph Norton Dolph (1835-1897), Senator from Oregon, from one of his many speeches quoted here. OCLC locates only a single copy at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center. A very good copy docketed on front wrapper, mail fold. 2: [Caption title] "The industrial side of the tariff controversy must not be overlooked. The four millions of people who work in our factory system are the most potent factors outside of agriculture in our civilization." - Hon. J. W. Babcock, Wisconsin.

The quote from the caption title belongs to Charles Curtis (1860-1936), Republican from Kansas who would go on to become Hoover's Vice President.
