Grasses for Arid Plains

~ e. Hansen, agricultural explorer
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, -arreved recently from the
Orient He has been on mission for
the department, touring the Orient
to ascertain the plants, grasses and
shrubs that will thrive best in the
colder desert regions of North Amer
lea. He brought a large quantity Of
seeds of hundreds of varieties which
he says will thrive and make the arid
plains of the United States blossom
like a rose"
Hansen left Washington, d. c., on
July II last. He first went to Eng
land and then to Denmark, Lapland,
st. Petersburg, Siberia and Vladivos
tok. During the trip he was getting
seeds and plants which he feels will
meet the requirements needed for
grass growing and cattle feeding in
cold regions of this country. In spea :
ing of his travels, he said:
Il have brought thousands of seeds
that am sure will thrive and grow

interest in the past. 1t is at last
dawning upon all lovers of good gov
ernment that good government can
only be obtained through the distruc
ton of every vestige of party machin
cry that is subject to manipulation by
party bosses and the substitution Of
machinery that will place the respon-
sibili.y for nominations and elections
directly in the hands of the people
themselves, by primary system of
making nominations, and the penaliz-
ing of non-voting.
Evidence of growth toward a
realization Of the steps necessary to
a more perfect and just government
is being manifested by the people Of
all portions of the earth. This condi-
tion follows that other world wide
condition, general prosperity. There
will be no abatement in the intellect
ual and moral advance of mankind so
long as the conditions of universal
prosperity continue. But, with the re-
turn of hard times, the strong will
grow insolent, and the weak more de-
pendent and cowardly and the progress
of the race will again be retarded.
The progress of humanity from sla
very toward freedom, from barbarism
toward civilization has always been
coincident with an output of gold and
silver from the mines sufficient to
cause the cheapening of money, or
rising prices. Dear money means
dear men. Let us hope that the lives
of men shall forever grow more pre-
cious to their owners upon the earth

MONEY SUPPLY AND INTEREST
RATES
RATES

There can be no greater fallacy
than the supposition that an increas-
in money supply means lower rates for
the use of money. Such supposition,
and it is held by many, rests upon a
misapprehension of the most funda-
mental principle of monetary science,
namely, that the purchasing power of
money varies inversely with its guam
tity, or the supply thereof. Until this
point is clearly understood, the money
question is not grasped at all.
During the discussion Of the money
question in former years, many who
believed themselves to be advanced
students of the question invariably
warned their auditors of their own
complete ignorance of monetary
science by urging the necessity of a
sufficient volume of money to reduce
interest rates to low level If
parties holding such a theory of mon
ey should by any chance gain control
of a government and undertake to put
their theory in practice they would
undoubtedly be much surprised when
they learned that any attempt to put
down interest rates through an in
crease in money supply would cause
interest rates to rise instead of fall.
Much confusion upon this subject
has been caused by peculiar condi'
tions that have been observed from
time TO time. For instance. in none
tary panics, money is scarce and diili-
cult to obtain at any price. In the
midst of a monetary panic our richest
men have been. in few instances,

rates of interest, causing those who
are ignorant of monetary science to
disbelieve that shrinking money vol
ume is the cause OF the depression,
because they find it SO easy to borrow
money upon ample security.
Now the facts are that money
panic is a peculiar condition caused
by the sudden collapse of credit and
forced liquidation far beyond the
limits of obtainable money to stem the
tide of loss to the unfortunate debtors
who are being forced to liquidate. The
condition is entirely abnormal and
those having commitments due at such
time will bid any price for money in
the hope of averting sacrifice of their
property Such condition is temper
ary. If a panic, however, had its
genesis, as is often the case, in a
diminishing money supply causing
first an expansion Of credit by persons
unaware of the fundamental condition,
high money rates may occur and con-
tinue with great fluctuation until a
panic has ensued and for long period
thereafter until liquidation is com
plete. After which, however, money
will congest in the money centers and
interest rates drop to minimum with.

was zero, because Of falling prices

self that must be returned, and the
diminishing price of the property in
which the money was invested and
for which the money could not be
again obtained in full, causing loss
to the investor. Under such condi-
ton money will be idle in the banks
at the money centers, regardless OF
erty values decline to the point where
the money again becomes abundant
because of the fall in prices re-estab-
fishing the relation between money
and property to conform to the true
money supply When such condition
through liquidation, idleness, waste
and suffering is reached business can
again be resumed upon the new price
level
Interest rates are now high with the
money supply at maximum. The
population Of the country is employed
remuneratively and are all consum
ers. The business structure is sound
and demanding the increase of mon
ey. The stringency comes from the
demand of the frenzied financiers in
their battles with each other. The
only other weak point is in the cities
where vast quantities of real estate
has been changing hands at boom
prices on margins.
But while the money supply contin-
ues abundant, liquidation from either
or even both of these sources would
not cause a general business prostra
tion of any considerable duration, and
such would not reach farm value al
all unless accompanied by crop fail
urcs. But under a general condition

filed with eager buyers. Labor has
found constant employment at a sat
isfactory wage. In fact the blessings
heaven have been showered bounti-
fully upon our people.
Yet, in the midst of abundance, the
cheering activities of our people did
not act as an opiate to the moral
sense but, on the contrary, quickened
the moral forces into action causing
an enlightened public opinion to as
sert itself by demanding an account
ing of public servants, and the pun
ishment of public offenders in a man
ner and degree that spared none, CIV
ing the lie in the most emphatic man
ner to the foul ISLANDERS that were
common a decade ago when the oppo-
nents of populism denied that that
movement had an ethical basis and
predicted it's utter collapse with a re-
turn of even a moderate degree OF
prosperity. The year that has passed
has been the fourth year in success
sion during which conditions of gen
eral prosperity have obtained, each
year bringing in it's train higher prices,
higher wages and better general con-
ditions for the millions who toll, and
increased profits to manufacturer and
merchant.
The awakening of the public mind
and conscience, to the wrongs that
existed and the evils that had long
been accumulating under conditions
when all were rejoicing in unprece-
dented prosperity, marks the epoch
as of one of intellectual and moral
growth as well as of progress in ma
terial things. The year that has
passed was one of Investigations, and
reforms. Institutions which, in the
past, were considered above suspicion
have been probed and found infested
with graft and their culpable manag-
ers, Notwithstanding the long years
they were the recipients of honor and
esteem, were driven from their places
in dishonor and disgrace by an indig-
nant public opinion.
Corporations, of wealth and power
beyond anything ever known or
dreamed of before, have been er-
raigned for putting uncleanly and un-
wholesome products upon the markets
and the public has asserted its power
of control over them. Even the
Standard Oil company, the COLOSSUS
of the age, is being brought under
accountability to the public. And
steps have been taken to restore a
portion of the public lands that were
stolen, back to the people.
Public officials who only few years
ago were regarded as exemplary men
and citizens have been investigated
exposed and the seal of public con
demnation put upon them. The tide
of reform has swept over cities and
states with astounding results, not
the least among which is the spasm OF
virtue that overcame the republican
party in railroad ridden Nebraska al
the last election.
But chief among all of the reforms
of the past year, and most ominous
of all, Is the recognition of the neces
sity of bringing the government back

the entire country, the Standard Oil
crowd have found it necessary to buy
up our railroads in order to find an
investment for their fabulous in
comes, But, however, having found
that railroad manipulations offer
tempting field for the manufacture of
billions of securities, Rockefeller and
Rogers are determined to show the
world that they can manipulate rail
roads just as well as they can oil.
John ID. Rockefeller counsels the
working men to practice economy.
John has confidence in his own abil-
ity to corral the surplus wealth of the
nation, but he. has discovered that he
cannot garner into his Golfers the
money that working men and their
families consume in current expenses.
1t is suspected that Johns advice Is
given to the toiers in order to en-
courage them to limit consumption
so that there may be left a larger an
nual surplus for him to scoop in.
Hartman and Gould in the railroad
world are simply the foremen and
managers of the Standard Oil crowd,
behind them stand Rockefeller, Rogers
& Co., with their billions
