Unjust Discrimination

Washington, D. c., October 27, Does
the American farmer desire a perpetua-
tion of Democratic rule in House and
Senate?
Unjust discrimination has been prac-
ticed against the farmers of the North
Middle-West, and West by the present
Democratic Congress, in favor Of South
ern products. This has been done by
the Southern Democratic cotere now
in absolute control Of House and Senate,
and by the Democratic National Admin
istration.
A price has been fixed on wheat, but
not on cotton or rice, both purely
southern products. Wheat by act of
the Democratic Congress is fixed at So. 10.
With no price fixed on wheat it is the
general opinion that the grain would
bring far more to the farmer than 81 10,
The difference in the price of wheat. as
fixed by a Democratic Congress and
a Democratic Administration, and
an open market, is the difference in hard
cash that the Northern, Mid-Western and
Western Wheat farmer doesn't get
total that would amount to hundreds Of
millions of dollars. PIorated it would be
a considerable sum in the pocket of each
wheat grower.
Prices of cotton and rice are fixed by
the law of supply and demand, un-
hampered by Democratic Congressional
action, and 4 consequently the southern
rice growers and cotton planters are
rapidly becoming wealthy with the
enormously increased war time prIuss for
rice and cotton. The Southern Demo
Gratis who control Congress have taken
good care that the Southern cotton and
rice grower shall not have the prices Of
his products controlled by legislature,
but this Southern delegation says what
the wheat farmer shall get for his crop,
not what it should bling in the world S
markets, as in the case Of cotton, which
prior to the war sold at 7c per pound
now sells for 32c, regulated by the law
of supply and demands, but an arbi-
trary price that has taken millions out oI
his pockets.
Similarly a price has been fixed OF
wool. 1t would be hard to compute the
immense sum that the Midd)e-Westerr
and Western wool grower has lost by the
arbitrary fixing Of the price OF his pro-
duct. Hundreds of millions would not
cover his loss. Hardly any wool Is pro
duced in the South.
A price has been fixed on coal. Mos
Of the coal is mined in the North anC
Middle West.
But no price has been fved on lumber
another principal product of the Southern
States.
How long does the wheat farmer, tn
wool grower, and the coal producer intent
to allow Democratic Congressional dis
elimination in favor of the cotton ant
rice planters and the lumbermen OF thu
Southern States?
This discrimination against every
other section of the country in favo
of the South is not the only way in which
the present Democratic Congress has
worked for its favored Section.
