Th. Truth From . psmoer.t


 Sour Democratic friends have been seriously hand capped in their appeal farmers especially those whs need money the financing of their operations and cannot get it. from the usual sources though thore before much money in the country. A fhrmer laboring under such disadvantage f.easly be made interested in the League of Ma tons. Democratic speakers and newspapers have stnssousy avoided the grievance of the farmers but of the smaller and more foolish have professed to discover plot Of rich Republicans to hold up the money until after the These apologists either do know else they think that the farm not know. that the grip of the Democratic Federal Reserve board that holds the money.
 Through the Arizona Egyptian Cotton Growers Association we have received copy of the New Orleans Times-Picayune of october IS. arock ribbed Democratic newspaper. We find it interesting in that 1t explains why the farmers cannot set money. and from typographical standpoint, its make up" is interesting
 The left hand "ear" of the first page reads:
 Turning to Cox"
 Leading c. O. P. and Moose turning to the Democratic candidate Read the story in the Times Picayune the souths Greatest Newspaper"
 Our attention diverted from the story" of the Turning to Cox" by a two-column article directly this "ear" relating to the woes of the cotton grower.
 This article opens with this statement
 with the markets of the world trembling
 from the developments in the British Empire,
 instead of word of reassurance, the Federal
 Reserve Board has reiterated its determna-
 ton to cruelty tho American farmer"
 The article is account of an address by Colonel William Bess Thompson of New Orleans. prominent Democrat and president of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange In the course of the address directed to ,. S. wanamaker. president of the American Cotton Exchange Colonel Thompson says:
 q earnestly urge you to withdraw all committees from Washington and summariy terminate all rep rosontatons to tho financial administration of the United states government Experience has demon strated that the administration in question is de- termined exploit the farmers of the United States this time regardless of the ultimate consequences Moreover every application for the relief of the agr cultural producers is twisted from it's true signf- canoe and worked into the administrators propa- ganda of destructive deflation. and used for a renewed assault upon the value of agri- cultural products"
 Colonel Thompson charges the Federal Reserve board with having fagranty violated the fundamen- tai intent of federal continues:
 "The department of the treasury and the Federal Reserve board on the hand and the vutures of speculation the other. are working together for the same result. Of course. there is deliberate of action between the but the activities of the latter follow the actions of the former in evitaby night follows the day While the financial administration of the government Is holding up the American farmer in furthorance of stupid economic plan, else for imaginary party political advan- tage the speculator going through the victims pockets for and substantial personal profit
 Colonel Thompson hopeless of any relief from the administration calls upon the farmers and those de- pendent upon the farmer to help themselves:
 "OrEanize the bankers. the merchants the
 farmers and all citizens into a grim ahd
 righteous movement to withhold cotton from . the maestrom of destruction, miscalled
 market. in spite of Hell, Houston and
 Harding"
 Now against whom is Colonel Thompson urging this defiance7 Houston Mr. Wilson's democratic secretary of the treasury. Harding" is not Senator w. O. Harding the Republican candidate for presi- dent nor yet Governor Harding of Iowa but W. P. c Harding. a small Democratic banker of Alabama whom MT. Wilson appointed to the Federal Reserve board of which he is the governor. What "Hel' Colonel Thompson would organize against leave tS Democratc conjecture.
 Tess than two weeks ago both Governor Harding and Secretary, Houston rebuked the southern cottor growers for their impatence and especially cen sured a movement to withhold their cotton from tn tunbine market. But within the last three days tn Democratic Federal Reserve board doubtless alarme at the prospect of a southern revolt week iron next Tuesday consented release money for the re lief of the southern planters.
