Tied around his neck were n dozen

THE AMERICAN FARMER AND
TIE WAR.

Among other causes which brought
about the present war, Congressman
Carter, In his address at Convention
hall, called attention 10 n very serious
result which would evidently be brought
about by our submission to the German
U-boat proclamation This PROCLAIM
tion forbade any shipments of Ameri.
can goods 20 Great Britain France. Rus.
sia, Italy, and all other allied powers.
Our commerce with those countries
composes fourffths ~ our entire pres
ent foreign trade. Cotton II one Of our
principal exports, II II the money crop
~ the south. and the one product that
can always be relied upon To turn the
balance of trade In our favor The en-.
tire cotton production Of the United
States for the year 1916 was. In round
numbers. I2.G00.00O bales. Of this
amount we sold 20 these allied powers
some $500. 900 bales. or about " per
cent OF the entire cotton crop Of the
United States. To have complied with
this imperial mandate of the kaiser
would therefore have cut on the mar
kct for ~ per cent OF the money crop
of the south. and left us with n surplus
OF some 5000 900 bales Of cotton on our
hands for which no market is available.
with two bales of cotton out OF every
five left on our hands the result is
clearly evident. The price of cotton
would probably have been reduced 10
si6 or $50 per bale bringing about n
oomplete stagnation of commerce In the
south, and reducing tho farmers Of the
country to such straights Of destitution
and want as was never experienced be- |
fore, not even during the dark days OF |
the Civil war.
What IL true OF cotton is also true
~ wheat and many other agricultural
products, only In "a smaller degree. In
view Of this contingency the American
farmer Is more Interested in the sue
oessfu conduct Of this war than any !

POTsDAM AND THE PRESIDENT.

II win be recalled that President WI
sons reply TO the pope's peace note, ap
pealing to the German people over the
kaiser's head, was followed by a flood oi
resolutions addressed To the kaiser 10y
various commercial ana political bodies
throughout northern Germany, Those
resolutions were pretty much alike. The
full text of some of the most noteworthy
have now reached this country Here Is
an extract FROM the resolutions Of tho
town council Of potsdam,
"Filled with contempt our citizens
