The protectionists. who suddenly
grasped the error Of their ways on
this hide schedule dug up letter
written by James G. Blaine to Will
liam Mckinley when the latter was
fixing up the old Mckinley tariff bill
in 1890, in which Blaine spoke for
New England shoe manufacturers as
follows:
1T would be a great mistake to
place a tariff on hides. It would
benefit the farmer by adding about 8
per cent to the cost OF his chlldrens
shoes"

HARDING'S LEADERSHIP

If we remember Alright one of the
chief sins of Woodrow Wilson was
trying to lead and dictate to congress,
and the then Republican was never,
never going to be such an autocrat,
Yet we now find President Harding,
in Office only five months, debating
furiously to congress. Messages in
person, messages written, and mes
sages sent by those who have been
told the administration viewpoint.
Lately he has appeared to post
pone the bonus bill indefinitely. Con-
gress waited for him on the disarm-
ament issue.
Last week he asked congress to
help the railroads by providing $780,
100000 through reviving the War Fin
ance corporation and to use the same
agency to extend some additional
credit to farmers.
A day later he had dinner party
with some senators at which he de-
cided that the senate should take up
the taxation question first of all.
Giving credit aid to farmers
through the War Finance corporation
may be good or Of no use, depending
on how much is done, but it looked
suspiciously like a shot designed to
kill two birds-to get the railroad aid
damned through and to kill eff the
Norris bill to aid the export of farm
products.
Yet interference with the policy
determining body of the nation is no
longer autocracy. The usual news
paper comment is: 'Mr. Harding is
proving in a remarkable way his ca
pacity for leadership" And his
move against the bonus bill is "cour-
ageous but kindly advice

Washington, D. C.-"Let 'em fail''
is the reply John Shelton Williams,
former comptroller Of currency, de-
clares he got from a member Of the
federal reserve board when he pro-
tested against lending at usury rates
to small country banks.
This member then went on 10 say:
IF this plan means the failure Of
the small state banks, that need rot
stop us; in fact, if we can't get rid of
the small state banks by any other
methods, it might be we'll to get rid
of them in that way"
What is meant here by plan was
the federal reserve board policy of
depriving agricultural sections Of the
country of credit last fall, which we
have frequently exposed in these
columns. We have also advanced the
theory that the reserve board was
trying to strangle small banks at the
same time with this policy and with
it's "par collection" methods.
FOUR PER CENT A MONTH
Mr.. Williams gives the following
illustrations to show how ruthless
against I1IS SlIldII DdnhS Sauu Illc
farmer the federal reserve board has
been:
"a valiant little country bank in
Alabama striving and straining to
help its farmer customers move their
crop, needed $4,000 in September,
1920, and that bank was charged at
about the rate of per cent month
or actually 81 per cent per annum
on portion of that money. The rec
ords will show that certain small
banks in Colorado, Kansas, Texas,
Louisiana, Alabama and other states
were charged by their reserve banks
in exceptional cases from two to five
times as much as the rates charged
by any other civilized government in
the world. These amazing rates are
wholly without excuse.
"While small banks in the farming
districts were being taxed in this
manner, great banks in New York
were being supplied with practically
unlimited amounts of money at S,
and per cent per annum. The re-
cords will show that while the little
bank in Alabama was charged $1,000
for the use Of $4,000 for two weeks
time, big bank in New York, whose
funds were largely employed in spec
ulative operations, was given the use
of 100000 for the same cash consid-
Grafton. The policy Of the federal
reserve board seemed to be that if
certain big banks wanted anything,
why let them have it promptly and
no questions asked; but that if a lit
tie bank or farmer needed funds,
comb him well, make him give up ev-
erything he has for security"

HOOyER's ECONOMICS

9HeTDeTL I1COVeT3 H6dQ OF the 1OOV-
er school of economics and also sec
rotary of commerce, announces for the
hundredth time that "rhe stability of
the nations business depended funda-
mentally on labor's willingness tc dc:
cept lower standards Of income
Hoover probably would also include
farmers with labor if his attention
had been drawn to that class. Both
farmers and workers rebel at this fin
ancial theory; yet Hoover is right
unless we are ready to bring about
fundamental economic changes in this
country. The so-called conservative
labor and that rare farmer who finds
the "Nonpartisan league too radical"
must fall in with the Hoover plan.
The capital stock and bonds of our
great industries was doubled and in
some instances trebled during the war
times to make a 1O0-per-cent income
look half or one-third as large. Banks,
insurance companies, estates, capital
lists hold these stocks and unless
farmer and worker dig much harder
in normal times to pay the normal in
come on these Watered stocks, our
financial structure comes tumbling
down. So unless farmer or worker
can get over trembling when big bus
mess yells radical, he should willing
" do twice as much work for the
same money.
The fallacy Of Hoover's economics
is that the workers can not by any
amount Of income sacrifice save our
business system. The overhead burr
