LIBERTY BONDS AND A BULL MARKET

VVON. JONATHAN BOURNE JR., president of the Re
II publican Publicity Association. has issued formal
statement in which he asserts that it is the duty Of
America to bull the Liberty bond market. That
tion meets with public approval 1t should produce
beneficial results
Mr.. Bourne says that owing TO the large inflow Of
gold and the increased output Of paper money since
the beginning Of the war, money is plentiful. and,
therefore correspondngy cheap During the period
the shortage Of labor the demand for
materials have created scarcity Of many commodities
and caused corresponding in price Money
cheap because it is plentiful and commodities are dear
because they The values of both money and
commodities are relative.
The relation between the values Of money and COM
modities could be regulated by the people they could
and would act in concert We make prices OF
modities lower by not buying them We can make
money desrer by not offering it freely. Instead Of
offering money to producers Of luxuries, thus
couragng them to raise prices offer it TO the
man who has a Liberty bond he is trying TO sell for
ninety-six cents the dollar. In that way shall
force dealers in Injuries to reduce their prices and
shall gradually force Liberty bonds TO par.
Comparatively few people operate in the stock
change the produce exchange. but practically all
to greater extent bulls bears in the bust
world" Mr.. Bourne adds. "Those who buy lux
these days are bulls in the luxury market and
bears in the Liberty bond market. Those who seek
opportunities TO purchase Liberty bonds and turn
bulls in the Liberty bond market and bears in the
luxury market.
mo one need be ashamed Of being the latter kind Of
a bull and bear He will not he violating any law
against gambling He will not be accused Of being
gagged in nonessena occupation. He who boards his
luxury money by putting into thrift stamps and turns
the thrift stamps into War Savings Stamps, and turns
the War Savings Stamps into Liberty bonds, will not
be in danger Of indictment for boarding
"Such practice may drive the luxury producer into
the production of neeessaries, and il necessares win

tce may also drive the market price Of Liberty bonds
from nnetysix cents up to slOi and II II will send

any viewpoint, one is playing not only safe but a
