Congressman Rankin's
Calculating Speech

the Federal Reserve Board will go
down in history as the greatest
financial injustice of all times.
1t did not particularly hurt the
profiteer who had coined his mill
lions out of the blood and tears of
the suffering men, women and chill
dren of the world during the war.
He had already prepared for the
shock by placing his ill-gotton gains
within the safety zone. by inYest-
ing them in government securities.
He seems to have been amply warn
ed of the approaching disaster,
while the farmers were left obliviOus
of their impending fate until it
came down upon them like a clap
of thunder from a clear sky. 1t
left more victims to its credit, or
discredit, in bankrupts. suicides,
failures. foreclosures, insane, pow
erty stricken, homeless and hungry
than any other one piece of tyranny
that was ever perpetrated on Amer
lean soil.
The Federal Reserve Board could
relieve this panic IN 10 days if the
governor of that board and the
Secretary of the Treasury were so
disposed. If they were as much
interested in the financial welfare
of the American people generally as
the Secretary of the Treasury is in
defeating the bill providing for adj
iusted compensation for the ex-sol-
diers who went through the CRIME
and dust and sweat and misery of
the training camps or offered their
lives in the bloody trenches of
France, they could relieve this sit
uation without delay.
We have more than one-third of
the gold supply OF the universe, and
the Federal Reserve Board could
easily issue s2,000.OOO.OOO in cur
rency or Federal reserve notes and
still keep our gold supply above the
requirements of the law; or they
could issue these notes on the
same class of collateral accepted
by them for that purpose before
they began their ruinous policy of
defation. But instead of that, the
board has continued to retire, or
call in. the money issued by it dur
ing and just after the war until it
has Debated the circulation by
something like a billion dollars, or
possibly more, paralyzed the bust
ness of the country. and brought

| And it is rather amazing to me
to see the same men high up in
official affairs of the government
who are responsible for the present
financial condition of the country
or at least responsible for the con-
tinuatiOn of that condition, when

lieve tit is amazing to see those
same men refusing this relief to the
farmers of this country and at the
same time advocating the spending
of $500 ,OO0,O0O a year on a navy
that is rapidly becoming obsolete
as result of modern progress, and
when the prospects of trouble with a
foreign foe are go extremely remote.
During the first 16 years after the
close of the Civil War we spent only
500, 900 900 a year on the American
navy. but today we are spending
approximately $50O,OOO,OOO, or
twenty-five times as much on the
navy each year as we spent on it
then, although we are at peace with
the world and the submarines and
the airplanes have supplanted and
rendered obsolete the class of yes
sells which we are spending so much
TO construct and maintain. But
that helps the big interests who are
engaged in the manufacture of armor
plate. steel and munitions of war
and gives a feeling of security to
the oil magnate who invests his
millions in foreign oil fields; it
makes him feel that he has a coun-

Certainly it is better. from his
viewpoint. to spend this govern

hundreds of millions. than it would
be to loan a few millions of it to
the farmers of the country in small
amounts in order to tide them over
this panic and prevent their fnan-
cial ruin. 1t is amazing to hear
those men clamoring for an army
of 100000 men when $4,000 would
be amply sufficient for our present
needs, and at the same time pro-
testing against this pittance of re-
lief for the farmers when it would
not cost the government a dollar.

not hold up much longer under
these conditions. They are bound |

tinue TO decline. The corn farmer
of the West is selling his corn at 81
cents a bushel. How does that
comport with the present high cost
of living2 How can he realize any
thing out of his crop after he pays
the exOrbitant railroad rates now
in effect in order to get his corn to
market? Do you expect him to
continue to endure indefinitely this
economic slavery without protest
or complaint? Evidently some
men do, judging from the way in
which they continue their policy of
discriminating against the agricul-
tursl classes.
The wheat growers of the coun-
try are selling wheat at a dollar a
| bushel. which before the def1ation
hogan was selling at s. %, and if
| conditions do not change for the
better they will be selling it for a
great deal less before the end OF
rhe present year.
The cotton growers of the South
still have on hand cotton that cost
them more than 40 cents a pound
to raise. and for which they could
not realize 10 cents a pound today.
Their crops are poor and their fields
are swarming with boil weeYil.
The price of cattle and hides have
gone almost to nothing. Practical
ly every farm In the United States
is under mortgage, and those mort
cages will soon have to be either
fOreclosed or renewed. The loan
sharks are already taking an inven-
tory and preparing for the coming
feast. They know the farmers haye
got to have the money and they
know that. as a rule. the local banks
are carrying all the loans they can
stand. They know that unless this
government comes to the rescue of
the farmers through the aid of the
Farm Loan Board they will be
forced to accept their loans at ex-
tortionate rates of interest, coupled
with additional contributions, which
added to that interest constitutes a
usury that would shame the face
of Shylock.
Therefore they and their agents
in this capital are fighting day in
and day out, in court and out of
court. to prevent the government
from coming to the farmers rescue
and saving him from such a ruin
Gus fate.
[ sincerely trust that the amend
ment will be adopted increasing
the amount to be made available
as loans to the farmers to $50,000.-
600; and | hope that before this
Congress adjourns some influence
may be brought to bear that will
quicken the conscience of this adj
ministration and arouse it to the
necessity of legislation that will
bring substantial and prompt relief
to the farmers of the country before
it is too late. Applause.

When the Ships Come In,

In Hawaii the Philippines and Cuba
one of the chief topics Of interest to
the islanders is the arrival and de-
parture of steamers. Newspapers de-
vote whole pages to these boat move
ments, to lists of the passengers,
interviews with notables on board
and stories of the voyage by members
of the officers staffs and crews. In
fact the arrival of the evening train
in mainland country town holds
no more interest for the residents
than. the maritime news has for the
people of Honolulu, Manila and
Havana. The Cuban capital has
new object of interest in this regard

ice between that city and Key West.

FORTUNE AWAITS LUCKY ONES
Prospecting for Radium IN Madagas-
car Is Latest Lure Held Out to
the Enterprising.

The exciting days Of prospecting in
Cripple Creek or Alaska may be over,
but anyone who is looking for expert
ence and is willing to suffer few dis
comforts for the chance of gaining a
fortune can do so in Madagascar, ac-
cording to Secretary LaCroiX of the
Frerch Academy of Science, who has
completed an exhaustive study of
Mountaineering deposits there.
+ M. LaCroiX says that millions prob
ably are there awaiting to reward the
patient searchers who are able to start
out with the proverbial shoe string as
far as finances are concerned, but 1t is
recommended that intending pros
pectors take along a few camera dry
plates, developing outfits and, if pos
sible, a gold leaf electroscope, al
though the latter is not absolutely es-
sential.
The principal radioactive mineral in
Madagascar is known as betaphite
and is brownish-black In color with
irregular radium content. But even if
only one milligram is obtained from
each ton of mineral examined, it will
mean 200 francs to the prospector,
while certain deposits are so rich as
to assay as high as $4,000 francs a
ton.
