SOCIALIST LEADER
OF GERMANY DEAD
August Ferdinand Bebel
Dies in Switzerland.
Was Well Known

Zurich. Switzerland, August 13.-August
Ferdinand Bebel German socialist
leader, died here today 70 years old.
Berlin, August 13-The death at Zurich
OF August Bebel the German socialist
leader, will have little effect on the ac-
tivities of his party For several years
he had been more a source CT inspira-
ton than the actual leader His infirmi-
ties of late had prevented him from play
ing an active part in the imperial parlia-
convention last year at Chamnitz, but his
physicians prohibited him from partici-
pating actively.
The executive committee of the socialist
party received, at noon today after Bebers
death a letter, in which he said: "'The
devil is again at my throat These ply
sicians say that ! must retire. He had
vention at Jena in September.
Bebel's last appearance in parliament
was made as the final vote was taken on
the bills for financing the increase in the
German armaments He voted yea
with the rest of the solialist members
His action was hotly criticised within the
party but, Bebel favored this steps as
necessary to building up liberal major
ity
Death Regretted
In spite of the heated and often .viru-
lent attacks on the existing order OF
things made by Bebel, his death is gen
orally regretted by the newspapers Even
those opposed to him publish warm eulo-
gies of his career The Voissische Zei-
tuns says:
He was deadly enemy of our society
but an honorable character
The Tageblatt says:
He was one OF the most interesting
personalities, one of the most honorable
characters and one of the most brilliant
ana most temperamental Of the orators OF
Germany"
The Local AnzeigerA says:
Gle was an unselfish champion of po-
ltical ideas. and sought to further to the
best of his powers the welfare of the
workers. His name win have a perina-
nent place in the history of the German
empire"
Bebels body IS to be cremated at zu-
rich.
Bebel probably was the best known OF
the modern socialist leaders. He Joined
the German labor movement in 1862 and
continued to struggle for the working
classes until his death.
Bebel was a member of the Imperial
Parliament almost continuously from its
formation in 1871. Not long after the first
session he was sentenced to two.-years
Imprisonment for high treason and to
another nine months for les majestic
German socialists regarded him as a
brilliant leader. and he was able to keen
the ranks of the party united al nearly
all times Herr Bebel lived to see 1t rep
resented IN the Imperial Parliament oy
over 100 deputies and the strongest part,
there.
Herr Bebei died from paralysis of the
heart.

Upon the cotton plant and its snowy

one year and you will take out of cir

tufe, every pound of which is converted
INTO money, and every dollars worth of

Basis for Currency

Mr.. Chairman, as the rulers of old
went to Solomon for wisdom the cotton
using countries OF the earth must come
to us for the wherewith to be clothed.
In the light of these truths regarding cot
ton declare to you that there is no safer
or sounder basis on which to issue cur
rency for limited time than on certifi-
Gates representing lint cotton baled and
stored in insured or bonded warehouses.
NO insect pest can harm 1t. 1t can be
preserved for 100 years and more, and its
splendid fibre will be just as good for
spinning purposes as the day it was
stored in the warehouse. Who can say
then that currency issued ON baled cot
ton at half its value is not as good as
municipal bonds or railroad bonds on
which Secretary Cortelyou issued cur
reney for the railroads. In the last days
or the, confederacy, our fathers in the
cotton belt arranged with England to take
Slo,Voo,OOO of bonds based purely and
wholly. singly and solely, on cotton Mr.
Chairman, If England thought enough of
cotton to take $l5,0c0,00O worth of bonds in
time of war; what should we Think of this
prince Of American products as a basis
tot half Its Nalue) on which to issue
limited currency In time of peace?
Provide for the issuance of limited
currency on cotton certificates and you
VIII deliver the cotton producers of the
south out of the clutches of the most
merciless band of bear gamblers that ever
cursed free country. You will enable
our farmers to obtain fair and reason
able price for this great American prod

house receipts of baled cotton be
treated by these reserved banks with
as much consideration as any. other mer-
