Bank Depositors and Deposits
Texas Farm and Ranch.

If the plan of operating the busl-
ness of this country is considered
carefully for a moment, we find
that it is not the amount OF money
in the country that measures the
volume of business and makes fof
"good times" but it is the amount
10 circulation. When panicky
feeling takes possession of our
people and they Withdraw money
from the bank to put it in the old
sock or to bury it under the house,
hard times are thereby assured.
Buried money can not circulate.
With so dollars in the bank. on
which the depositor checks to pay
a debt, and which the man receiv-
ing deposits in bank to check
against, the money is not moved
or handled. This is an example
of how money "circulates" under
the present banking system. 1t
depositurs were to stampede and
remove practically all their money
from the banks of the southwest,
business would stagnate in week,
money would be scarce, land, la
Dor and commodities would sud-
denly fall in price and the dark
DAYS of "dear money and cheap
men" would curst US as in times
past when the dollar was too dear.
The moral Of the present situa-
tion is that our financial, CONNER
cial and crop moving system are
finally dependent OIL business con-
fidence which insures that "elas-
ticity'' in our currency and COM
merce that gives life to trade and

saction and in every days wage

Parson BroWnlow and the Democrats.
One of the famous retorts in history
occurred when Parson Brownlow was
war governor of Tennessee. On one of
his journeys he attended service at a
small Methodist church In the upper
part of the state. The parson was
devout Methodist and seldom allowed
his political rancOr to interfere with
the charity of his religious faith On
this occasion, being visiting clergy
man, he was placed In the ''amen cor
ner'' near the pulpit. The local min
lister was as ardently Democratic in
his views as Governor Brownlow was
Republican. In the prayer which fol
lowed the lengthy sermon the minister
began to call ON the Lord for grace
for his favorites. "God bless Felix
Grundy," he began. Parson BrownlOw
moved uneasily in his seat, but re-
sponded with q conscientious Amen"
God bless Robert T. Lee" concluded
the preacher. A fainter "Amen" from
Parson Brownlow. God bless the
whole Democratic party" cried the
preacher. waxing in fervor as he pro-
crossed. This was too much for the
governor. With a bound he was on
his feet, shouting:
'-God Forbid II would bankrupt d.
vine grace and exhaust the whole plan
Of salvationr'

CT loans in order to take care of the crop. although in portions of that State. as in other parts of the South. the farmers have come into such good financial condition that they are not calling upon the banks to help them. For instance. in portions of North Carr olina and South Carolina the farmers were able this year to pay their debts from their tobacco ana wheat crops. and while there is very little holding of cot ton 1t Is expected that should the prices decline. there will be consider able holding back. So in Georgia, most of the "distress'' cotton has already been marketed and the balance of the crop Is claimed to be in the hands of strong people In position to hold until prices suit them.
 In parts of Texas there has been some clogging of trade because of the holding of cotton. but the banks have begun to bring pressure to bear and 1t is thought that by the middle of next month the greater portion of the crop in the State will have been sold. This will materially improve conditions. There is some resistance to the devel- opment of the warehouse system as En aid to this holding, but on the ether hand 1t is pointed out that, 4practica- ble working out of the plan of stor- ing cotton for better prices will keep the market from being congested early in, the season and give the congresses and the railroads se to clean Dp the crop as 1t comes fror, the gin. An other strengthening inh.ience is that the South Is now a misunderstanding as we'll as a producing section. stiua- tfon tending to keep more money in circulation in the South and render ing it less liable than formerly to be seriously affected by money fluctuations and to suffer from money stringency on that account.
