"Protectlon" a Farce.

The bulk OF surplus cash in the Uni
ted States Is owned by western farm
ers. They deposit II In their local
banks. whence Il flows through vari-
Gus channels 10 the eastern money
markets for investment
AZ a recent national gathering OF
presidents OF insurance Companies the
statement was made that money Is a
drug In the market The insurance
men are In close touch with the finan-
cial market. as they have prodigious
SURPRISES to invest. Just now the
market r. flooded with the boards OF
thrifty investors.
The insgular fact Ia that while the
east Is Just recovering from a money
panic the agricultural west had no
panic 20 recover from. The farmers
have had no hard times for a series
OF years. They we're still buying au-
tomobiles and luxuries when panic
stricken eastern banks we're issuing
clearing house certificates.
The working capital OF banks, rail-
roads. factories and mines comes in
the main from the small accumula-
tons OF thrift put out al interest. The
greatest creditor OF all Is the Ameri-
can farmer. While bumper crops and
high prices for agricultural products
prevail the farmers will remain SUI

Why then are not wages higher IN

three countries are practically the
same and not different as they are In
England and America Yet in England
under free trade wages are far higher
than in Germany and France under
protection. Moreover wages in Amer.
lea were higher than any In Europe in
the beginning because Of natural con

that protection is what makes high

gle Individual OF any consequence who
seriously dreams OF cutting down
southern representation and should
have no hesitation in stating anywhere
and at any time that as long as the
election laws are constitutionally en-
forced without discrimination as to
color, the fear that southern repre-

Is both idle and absurd"
