LABOR TIDE FLOWING
STEADILY TO WILSON
Organized Workers of Michigan and
Illinois lndorse Democratic
Candidate.

New York.-Enthusiasti offers Of
support continue to pour into Demo
cratic headquarters from worlingmen
and union leaders from every section
of the United States and from every
trade and industry. Not only will
President Wilson get hundreds Of
thousands of votes from workingmen
hitherto members of the Republican
party, but thousands of wage -earners
who have voted the Socia list ticket will
this time mark their ballo for him.
The latest Endorsement of President
Wilson by a labor leader comes from
John H. Walker, president of the Illl-
nois State Federation of Labor.
"a working man who would vote for
Hughes, in the face Of his acts and
declarations against labor, and in the
face Of the great accomplishments Of
Mr.. Wilson for labor" said Mr. Walker,
must be uniformed, misinformed,
blinded by prejudice or carried away
by party sentiment"
No word said for President Wilson
will have greater effect than a state
ment by Andrew Furuseth president
of the Seamen's Union, declaring:
Il am for the election of Woodrow
Wilson and a Democratic Congress- ba.

RURAL CREDIT LAW
MAKES MONEY CHEAP
High Interest Agencies Rush to
Reduce Rate to Farmers.
BIGGER LOANS AT LESS COST

Effect of New Administration Act
Strongly Felt, Although Law Is Not
Yet Ia oporation--WiII Reduce In
terest on Land Loans to Less Than
8 Per Cent
The effect of the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Ad.
ministration, already is being felt in
lower interest rates, although tine land
banks have not yet been organized
Testimony to this effect is being given
at the hearings held by the Federaj
Farm Loan Board in various western
cities.
At the hearings in Nebraska, numer-
Gus farmers stated that interest rates
In the homesteading section Of that
State already have been reduced from
one to two per cent, by the prospective
competition Of the thirty to forty-year
loans that the land banks soon will be
making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other agency would make
on a 64O-acre Kinkaid claim was ST.
600. The commission deducted from
this left the farmer $3.50 He paid in
terest at from 8 to 10 per cent for five
years on $1,000 making his average
net interest rate from u to 13 per
cent.
This now is stopped by the coming
competition Of the new rural credit
law. Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska to make dve-year loans at
lower rates, to forestall the operation
Of the new law
The farmers Of the West, who have
suffered exorbitant interest rates for
years, are not worrying about the
banks Their testimony before the
Farm Loan Board showed that they
are enthusiastic over the new law, and
ready to help put 1t in successful oper

The new farm loan act provides
means by which farmers can form co

MORE AFTER THE WAR WISDOM

An interview in the Cincinnati En-
quirer Of October 2, with the Vice
President OF the American Bankers
Association, MI Charles A. Hinsch, is
interesting even though not nstruc-
tive. Mr. Hinsch. reports the senti-
ment among bankers to be that:
We must be prepared when
this war is over to compete with
England, France and Germany and
her allies if our present prosperity
is to continue. Bankers of the
country expect business TO remain
prosperous at least until after the
war.
Manufacturers and farmers es-
pecially are fortunate just now.
But it is the general feeling among
bankers that unless we enact a
tariff bill which viii provide ample
protection for the industry Of this
country, our good times will slip
away from us under the stress of
competition with the nations at
war"
If Mr.. Hinsch has reported the
opinions of the bankers correctly,
then they are not as shrewd and in
telligent in business matters as com
monty supposed. They must be 50
blind that they can not see that the
more goods we import from Europe,
the more labor must be employed
here to produce wealth to pay for the
imports Instead of seing that, they
must hold that it will not be neces-
sary to engage in any industry to pay
for imports. Otherwise they would
not fear the competition of foreign
made goods.
Furthermore, they must be una
ware of the fact that the United
States is a country of great natural
resources, and with these resources
open to the people, they could use
them 60 supply all their wants or to
produce things to exchange for pro-
duCt> Ot other nations. If they knew
this, they would certainly not be
blinded to the fact that tariff can
be no help to the people in making
use of these opportunities, but would
be dettiment instead.
If these tankers were not so blind,
they would demand mot higher tar
ifs, but the removal OF distractions
that prevent labor from getting at the
natural resources. There would then
be no involuntary idleness, tariff or
no tariff, so long as a single human
want remained unsupplied.
Fortunately most bankers are more
intelligent in conducting a banking
business than Mr.. Hinschs report

Why are the interests" supporting
Hughes?
Because they expect to receive in re

write two notes on the same offense.
He would perhaps issue a warning,
but afterwards he would act accord
ing to his conscience and for the hon
or of civilization. This is what he Ger.
talnly will do, if he becomes the Pres
idcnt Of the United States.
FACT 12-On August 81, Roosevelt
denounced German citizens for "act-
ing as servants and allies Of Ger
many" lie condemned the Admin
istration for failing to live up to its
duty ia resist the invasion of Belgium.
He added; 1--WE can put in power an
administration which will live up to
our national obligations As between
Mr.. Hughes and Mr. Wilson, who can
doubt which is the man who will with
austere courage stand for the national
duty?"
FACT 13-On September 1, Hughes
wired Roosevelt: 81 heartily congratu-
late you on the speech ct Lewiston
and warmly appreciate your effective
support" spoke of Roosevelt as THAT
stalwart American who woke the
country" and aped Roosevelt by say
ing: 1--WE want deeds to match words.
/ am not one Of the kind that is too
proud to fight On the following day,
he stated that he knew what was in
Roosevelt's Maine speech, and endors-
ed every word of it'll
FACT 14-Candidate Hughes springs
from the most loyal Of British stock,
the Welsh. His father emigrated from
Wales in 1855, barely seven years be
fore Charles was born.
FACT is - Mr. Hughes naturally
sympathizes with England, as does IA
son of German immigrant with that
country which he lovingly refers to as
"Fatherland." 1t is only natural that
Mr.. Hughes should stamp his approx
al upon all that oosevelt-hater and
traducer Of German American citizens
-utters.
FACT 16 - If Rooseyelts policy
which Mr. Hughes has accepted with
out modification had for the past -
months been the policy Of this Govern
ment, war with Germany would have
been inevitable
FACT 17-And if we had conquered.
we could have obtained nothing more
than an apology for wrongs commit
ted, a promise to respect our rights IN
the future, and monetary indemnity!
FACT 18-If Mr. Hughes is elected
President on this issue. it is notice to
all the world that America repudiateG
her policy of peace for the Roosevelt
