THE ANNUAL REPETITION

The sugar market is getting low
- every day. In fact there is no
demand for sugar because the
refneries belonging to the trust
loaded up and made contracts
with wholesalers at a high price,
and now force them to accept the
goods according to the agree.
ment, based upon the possibility
that the price would still remain
at the skyline. This stock, to-
gether with the large consign-
ments Of raw coming in from the
|eoolie islands, has shut out all
purchases until the supply con-
tracted for is exhausted, with a
margin of profit to each one until
it reaches the consumer, who gets
t in the neck, while the real pro-
Queer receives no benefit.
The democratic doctrine Of free
raw material has been tried time
and again, from the Walker
tariff to the Wilson dynasty, and
in each instance, Louisiana and
such other states as may be inter
ested in the growth of cane and
the manufacture Of sugar, are
beaten down in the same manner
rs if we were an aggregation of
5anditti. I'm the early part Of the
season. sugar is quoted at a high
price and the payment Of labor is
based upon the price. Thus the
planter must pay the highest fig
ures for the cultivation Of ! the
crop, followed by still higher
range Of figures for harvesting.
and just at the start Of the man
ufacturing season, thousands of
tons of coolie produced stuff are
admitted to this country. prac-

the market closes to everything in
the way Of an offering.
This is the condition Of our
industrial classes right now. who
have labored throughout the
twelve months to find that the
purest and finest sugar made in
the world has no standing in the
markets, which have already been
fixed by the trust.
1t is fortunate that the banks
in this section have come to the
aid of the producer, offering to
advance three cents per pound

his, which strikes wide differ

For the first time since 1895
st. Mary went republican, and it
was a surprise to many Of the old
citizens. No canvass was made,
but each citizen evidently grew
tired of public conditions and con-
cluded that a change was neces-
sity. The returns present free,
untrammeled expression of our
citizenship, and there will be more
independence Of action in the po-
litical affairs of this country in
the future. 1t looks like there
will be another, party to face the
dominant organization, and de-
mand better service in the future.
Look out for it.-Watchman.

change)
Apologists for the chamber of
commerce and it's methods of main
tanning a closed market for grain,
are busy with a farreaching propa-
ganda intended to create the popu-
lar impression that the chamber has
recently reformed, that it is now
ready to welcome cooperative insti-
tutions to it's membership, and that
new era of amity and understand
ing is about to begin.
1t is noticeable that all the articles
dealing with this question assume
as matter of course that there was
time when the chamber of COM
merce was opposed to co-operatives,
but that there has now come about
different situation, heralding a
bright future for farmer cO-opera-
tive enterprises.
This sudden flaming up of propa-
ganda is quite evidently an effort Of
the chamber to backtire against the
campaign made by Governor-elect
Preus. whose whole argument for
farmer support was based upon his
statements that if elected he would
\ force the chamber of commerce to
open its doors to the numerous CO.
operative enterprises which it has
always excluded in the past.
This campaign of Mr.. Preus caus-
ed many farmers to believe that at
last the great market of Minneapo-
lis, which had so long been closed
to genuine farmer organizations,
was to be opened.
The Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce is taking no chances. 1t has
begun it's propaganda right where
the governors campaign left off,
and is attempting to make the peo-
pie of Minnesota think that 1t has
already acquiesced in the new ord
er of things. The chamber is trying
to befog the issue so completely
that when the legislature comes to-
gether there will be general public
feeling that the chamber has al
ready done everything possible to
make easy sailing for the farmers,
and that nothing more will be need
ed in the way of legislation.
But now Mr.. McHugh (Mr Nc
Hugh, it should be remembered, is
: very clever lawyer as we'll as sec
retay of the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce) has devised plan
that will permit farmer companies

WASHINGTON, ID. C. Nov. 30
Delerious with the horrors Of her
imperialistic peace, Europe staggers

Lord Robert cuts straight thru
all the nonsense about the Red Cross

to bandage the wounded and feed

for $2O,OOO,OOO to move an army
to the battle front.

only one-half their quota to the Red

SEES VICTORY FOR FARMERS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-victory
for the striking farmers of America
is now in sight. II they hold out,
another 80 days in their refusal to
sell crops for less than the cost Of
production, they will get all the re-
lief they could ask.
If the farmer had held the bag
and gone to ruin alone nobody in
Washington or Wall Street would
have moved to save him. But when
Uncle 81 refused to sell, and put his
fingers to his nose at the country
bankers and merchants who had Civ
en- him credit, he lighted the fuse
of general bankruptcy bomb which
financiers and government officials
know they must stamp out without
delay.
Talk of Moratorium
There Is already talk at Wash
ington of a national moratorium
a general suspension of debt pay
ment for six months or a year. But
1t may not come to that exactly. 1t
is more likely that bankers all over
the country, acting on instructions
from the Federal Reserve Boardl
will adopt so-called volunteer pol
icy of not trying to collect money
from persons or firms that cannot
pay.
During the next fortnight you will
be instructed through the newspa-
pers that any special extension Of
credit to farmers would be s'class
legislation. That talk will pave
the way for what in effect must be
an extension Of credit to all the
small business and banking groups
which have been caught in the COLI
lapse of prices on agricultural prod
ucts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Revival
of the war finance corporation, and
action by the federal reserve board
permitting extension by banks Of
''liberal'' credits to farmers would
be directed in joint resolution
drafted today by the senate agricul-
tural committee. The resolution
will be reported to the senate to-
morrow by Chairman Gronna of
North Dakota, who will ask immed-
late consideration.
Move In House Too
Restoration of the war finance
corporation to furnish financial aid
to farms also would be directed in
concurrent resolution presented
today in the house of representatives
by Representative Byrnes, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina.
The senate agricultural commit
tee decided to report its resolution
as committee measure, hoping to
save time. With unanimous con-
sent under the senate rules the res
olution could be read twice In one
day and placed on the calendar.
While not anticipating action of the
president, democratic senators made
clear their intention of voting to
override veto if necessary.
Declares Farmers Suffer
The resolution declared that "un-
precedented and unparalleled dis
tress" exists among farmers, be-
cause of inability to market their
products at prices equalling the cost
of production and that the people
of the agricultural districts are in
need. 1t further recites that banks
have been unable to extend credit to
farmers so they may hold their prod
ucts nuitl "they can be sold in fair
and reasonable market"
