WAR WASTE AN OLD STORY

In Horace GreeIey's autobiography.
entitled .Recollectiong OF Busy
Life there Is related an incident
about Government that demonstrates
that the waste and extravaganza in
the recent war Is but repetition Of
history.
Mr. Greeley was in Utah and Ne
vada In 1859 when the Government
was selling at auction its heavy army
trains that had been sent I.200 miles
across the desert to Utah for the sup-
preston OF the Mormon insurrection
in 1857.

gagged. under orders from washington

The CLIMAX OF Folly

An Associated Press story from II.
dianapolis telling Of the proceedings
OF the ANIMAL convention Of the Amer.
lean Farm Bureau Federation says
In memorial addressed TO congress
the convention declared that bankrupt
c. threatens the agricultural industry.
and il asked for an embargo on I'm.
ports, renewal OF farmers obligations
redisccunted through the federal re.
serve sysfenl. and adoption Of soms
plan for selling American products II
al Of Europe
II is strange that any body OF men
could have been found in this country
with as little intelligence as this me
mortal indicates and stranger still that
they should represent the farmers Of
the country. for the farmers as a class
know mere about political questions
than the average OF the residents Of
the cities. It looks as If the least in
telligent OF all the farmers were the
very ones who talk for them on poIiti
cal questions.
Only about ten words below the pro-
position that an embargo be placed on
imports comes the plea for the adop
ton OF a system for selling American
products in all Europe. Do these men
think that if this country refuses 10
let Europeans sell goods to the people
OF the United States they win buy
from the people OF the United States
II they can't sell their products where
viii they get money to buy with?
What effect would an embargo on
imports have on the farmers of the
United States? Would it raise the
value of their products2 we make
more than twice as much cotton as
we spin. An embargo on iE,ports Of
raw cotton would not AFFECT the price
at all for we import it by the million
dollars in value and we import only
trifle and that trifle not of the kind
that we produce. An embargo on i'm.
ports of corn would add nothing to the
price of what the farmers OF this coun.
try produce for they export corn in
stead of importing it. The same IS
true of wheat and nearly every other
important agricultural product.
But an embargo on cotton goods
would make the farmers pay for the
cloth they buy whatever the manufss
turers decided to charge them for
while we export more cotton goods
than we import. the manufacturers ard
few and combined The same is true
Of WOODEN goods and of iron and steel
products and in fact of everything TIE
farmer buys. The embargo would not
increase by cent the price OF what
the farmer sells. but would vastly T.
crease the price of everything be buys.
The average farmer in this countrF
knows all this and it is strange tna'
the men who go to farmers conven'
tons do not They are about the onR
