BONDS INDORSED

BONDS lNDURSED
(From the Journal of Commerce,
Philadelphia
A few years ago the state of North
Dakota, by due process of law, start
ed movement whereby it could be
of special service to it's citizens. This
service is the making of loans to the
farmers, and about 80 per cent of the
inhabitants of the state are farmers,
while another 16 per cent of the peo-
pie depend in some form or other on
agriculture for their means of liveli-
hood.
North Dakota has authorized the
sale of bond issue of $3,OO0,000, and
the interest on these bonds is 5A per
cent per annum, and the denomina-
tions are in $10O, $500 and 81 900. The
bonds date from July 1 this year, and
mature in the years 1881, 1886, 1941,
1916 and 1948.
From the standpoint of security we
know of few bond offerings which can
show a better and more stable Sc
curity than these North Dakota bonds.
From observation and investigation
the bonds have behind them secur-
ity which is as strong as the proven
bal Rock of Gibraltar, and in safety
they compare with a United States
government bond.

Agriculture Stabbed by Big Financiers

: Continued from page g.
They fix the price of interest. Why
not defate themselves?
Il Why not debate the strong and pro-
tect the weak? S..
The answer is, Of course, that the
gentlemen who do the Debating pos
sess the power of kings-even greater
power.
They Debated you farmers as mat
ter of course because the farmers had
no power of resistance.
But in their blind greed to get the
last possible dollar from the expiring
export trade, the international bank
ers overreached themselves and pulled
a lot of their friends into disaster
along with the farmers. The Euro
pean market was drying up and now
they have dried up the American mar
ket. They destroyed the power of the
farmer to purchase. They reduced the
purchasing power of the farmers by
some 10 billions of dollars. The farm
er stopped buying machinery, harness,
tools and everything he could get
along without.
p. And now there are idle factories all
over the land. When you cut down
purchasing power of 35 per cent of
the population to the tune of 10 bill
lions of dollars, there is bound to be a
vacuum created in the trade and fac
tory centers of America.
Let us take note of some things that
have happened. Let us take the
manufacture of cotton goods. Cotton
mills even back in June, 1920, were
beginning to slow down, but in June,
1920, our cotton mills consumed $685.
1856 bales Of raw cotton. In June, 1921,
these same mills consumed only 461,-
656 bales Of cotton. And remember
that raw cotton is purchased by the
mills now at less than half the price
paid in June, 1920, so that cotton
goods are much cheaper to the con-
sumers. The cotton farmer and his
family can not buy back their normal
supply of cotton shirts, socks, stock
lngs, dresses, etc., even after he has
raised the raw cotton.
Let us read the figures of lost
purchasing power in the report of the
total sales of Montgomery Ward & Co.
and Sears, Roebuck & Co., the two
largest mail order houses in America.
These houses do business almost ex-
clusively with the farmers and the
people of the rural towns and villages.
The total sales of Montgomery
Ward & Co. for the first six months of
1920 were $50, ,492. For the same
six months period of 1921 the sales
were $37,170,591, a decrease of 81
per cent.

CONGRESS HAS NOT
HELPED SITUATION

Congress has now been in session
about four months. The farmer is
having lot of things done TO him
but not much done FOR him. Con-
gress passed an emergency tariff for
the benefit of the farmer. Some con-
gressmen have been honest enough to
admit that the emergency tariff was
a piece of stage play. 1t can't possi-
bly, do the farmer any good, but it
furnishes good excuse for the Ford
ney bill. After protecting" the farm
er it is then only just, of course, to
protect the eastern manufacturers,
principally the trusts. This was the
purpose of the emergency tariff. The
emergency tariff fooled some of the
farmers but T don't believe that it
fooled many Nonpartisan league farm
ers, for the members of the Nonparti-
san league have an alert and efficient
press which is always up with the
times and keeps its readers informed
on what is doing.
The farmer has taken his bitter dose
Of defiation and it would seem that he
has had enough, but he is not through
yet. There is another dose for him.
In subsequent article I propose to
tell the farmers another story. This
story will deal with "Taxation." Hav-
ing Debated the farmer good and plen-
ty, those who made their millions out
of the war now propose to make the
consumers pay the taxes.

COOLIDGE CALLED

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I write
to call your attention to an article
written by Vice President Coolidge
in the Delineator for July, 1921, head
ed Enemies Of the Republic" He
refers to the Nonpartisan league on
page 80 (if I understand him rightly.
He intimates that they are guilty of
treason! 1t seems to me he should be
liable to impeachment for such utter
ance. It also seems to me that he
could be prosecuted for using such a
heading, Enemies of the Republic"
in referring to the Nonpartisan league.
Archer, Mont. J. J. MORGAN.
EDITORS NOTE: The North Da-
kota state government has written
Mr.. Coolidge pointing out the lies in
his article regarding the state of
North Dakota, and demanding that he
issue a public retraction. 1t will be
remembered that Taft not long ago
was forced to retract some of his
statements about North Dakota. Here
is chance for Coolidge to prove he
is at least as fair as Taft. You can
not prosecute any one for making
false statements against state, or a,
political organization or party, ac-
cording to lawyers.

Europe owes us now something
like 20 billion dollars. If we are
not willing to take her goods, she
won't buy from us because she
has no means of payment. MIR.
Fordney's fish-trap tariff contrap-
tion is an effective bar against the
farmer selling his surplus in Eu-
rope.
Farmers may eat their corn next
winter, and burn it. That's not so
bad, for so long as the farmer has
corn to eat or to burn he won't starve
or freeze. But the farmer is not going
to sell his corn to Europe if Mr.. Ford
ney can prevent it, because if he does
he will have to take some things in
exchange that are similar to things
which certain gentlemen in New Eng
land and some other eastern states
manufacture. These gentlemen would
rather see the farmer burn his corn
than to have the farmers trade it to
Europeans for goods.
