TARIFF BILL GETS
MANY ATTACKS.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. with Sem
ator McCumber, republican North
Dakota, as its only consistent defend
err in the debate, the Fordney emer-
gency tariff bill went through another
series of hard knocks in the senate to-
day. opponents of the measure accept
ing every opportunity to attack it.
Whether the bill will be sidetracked
or consideration continued under linn
itation of debate will be decided to-
morrow when the Penrose- resolution
for cloture comes to a vote. The most
ardent supporters of cloture and of
the bill admitted tonight that defeat
of the resolution to limit future
speeches on the bill was inevitable
They conceded that opponents of clo-
ture would control from eight to 10
votes more than would be necessary
to defeat the resolution. Prospects of
cloture, however, caused a deluge of
amendments, especially after Vice
President Marshall had ruled that all
amendments must be submitted and
read before the vote on cIoture, set
for 1 O'Clock. Every senator who want
ed changes in the bill therefore be-
gan loading it down and demanding
that they be read.
Then there was the declaration of
Senator Townsend, republican, Mich
igan, that he proposed to call up the
postoffice appropriation bill for con-
sideration Immediately after the clio
ture vote. He criticised the senate
for wasting time when important leg
islation was pending and challenged
opponents Of the Fordney measure to
continue filibustering against "legiti-
mate legislation and take the conse-
quences."
Mr.. Townsend's statements precip-
itated a heated debate in which half
a score of senators participated. 1t
was the rst day in which the bill ac-
tually was to the fore in all discussion
and its enemies picked flaws in every
item. Although Senator Thomas
democrat, Colorado delivered
lengthy speech against it, the full
force of the attack developed after
wards and continued until the senate
recessed.

Four-Year- Buck Is Killed

veniences of a hunt, of an expedition
led by Berger Testman to Escambia
river yesterday. Berger was the only
fortunate man m the party in bring

the fourteenth for him since he has
been in Pensacola.
The party, which included besides
Mr. Testman L. S. Meharg, NJ. Du-
rant, r. G. Green and Bud Malone
left Pensacola before day and went
about 20 miles up the country. They
returned here early yesterday after
noon, the BUCK having been killed
about IL o'clock.
The party jumped two deer shortly
after their arrival but lost them OF
account of long range. On their way
to Pensacola the dogs took a trail
and Mr.. Testman followed. The dogs
followed the trail for more than an
hour when Mr.. Testman got his first
glimpse Of the head of the deer abour
100 yards in front and he fired but
with no result. AS the buck started

was SO, ,351, 100000 October, 1920, was Of the
months when the farmers were being Debated. The
defation of the price of farm products began in
August 1920. In that month the federal reserve
note circulation amounted to $3,203, 100000 In
September the note circulation increased to
$3,279 100000 and then in October to $3,351 ,000
900. In other words, while the federal reserve
board was refusing money and loans to farmers,
they were actually expanding the currency to the
extent of $148,000,000.
Who was getting the of the additional
$148,000,000? Not the farmers. The farmers
were actually being called on to pay their loans.
If there is any other explanation of the Of
this increase in circulation than that the
serve board was financing the exporters while
at the same time putting the "squeeze" on the
banks in the rural districts, let someone come
forward and explain. The farmers were being
forced to sell their crops at lower prices, which
lower prices had been brought about by selling
the market short the grain meat and cotton
exchanges. But somebody group was
being given the use of $148,0 1000 of new
money fresh from the government printing
Offices.
Governor Harding of the reserve board may brand
all of his critics as liars, but the figures have
quoted above do not lie. 1t is up to Governor Hard
ing to explain them

such money would be elastic that is to say, that the
government could issue and retire currency in
cordance with needs to crops expand indus
try etc. They argued that the Constitution requir
ed that the government thus issue money and regu-
late it's value. They insisted that the government
was the only power or agency which could be just
and fair where vital thing money and credit
was concerned
The Greenbackers proposed that the government
base it's paper money the property Of the nation.

were also ridculed later in the early COS when they

issue money against warehouse receipts of grain
and cotton in order to supply currency and credit
at reasonable rates to the farmers who then

HOW THEY INFLATED .
THE NATIONS MONEY

. The federal reserve banks began to
issue currency in November, 1914,
the amount issued that month being
$2,70O,OO0. The following month,
December, 1914, the issue of notes was
increased to $10,600,000, and there
was an increase each succeeding
month, so that by December, 1915, the
issue of reserve notes amounted to
$189, 100000. By December, 1916, the
note issues had increased to 1857 ,00O,-
900. In December, 1917, federal re-
serve notes in circulation had passed
the billion point, the exact figures be-
ing $1,246,O00,000. In December, 1918,
the notes had passed the two billion
point, the figures being $3.50, 100000.
In December, 1919, the figures of note
circulation were $2,880,000,000.| In
December, 1920, federal reserve note
circulation had passed the three billion
point, exact figures being $3,344,0OO,-

press. You could almost smell the INK
on it. But this paper money is not
based directly on property. Actually
it is based on debt. The debt, how
ever, is based on property and it is
this property and the guarantee of
the government which assures the
value of the reserve bank notes.
Money issued by the government
may be paid out for services per-
formed to the government and thus
bear no interest penalty. Money is
sued by the reserve banks, however,
is paid out only when somebody goes
into debt, which means that every dol
lar of money thus issued and circu-
lated is carrying an interest burden
on it's back, which interest must be
taken out of the toll and energy of
the people,

the same purchasing power as that
which you borrowed.
If before the note becomes due the
value of the dollar is increased by de-
stroying large number of the dol
lars which were in circulation at the
time you contracted your debt, you
will then have to pay your debt in
dearer dollar. Let us suppose you
bought a cow for $100 and gave
your note for one year. Unless the
cow dies you have made a good in
vestment, because the COW will give
milk and she will give increase so
that at the end of the year you will
have COW and calf. But suppose in
the meantime somebody destroys a
large part of the money in circulation
and thus increases it's purchasing
power to the point where the same
COW is now worth only $50. It then
transpires that in order to pay your
note you will have to pay back the
value Of two cows instead of one.
The power to issue money and
regulate the value thereof is, in
essence, the power to pick your
pocket or to make you pay two
cows where you were only given
one, or to give up two bushels of
corn in return for one that you
purchased, or two bales of cotton
when your original debt called for
one. Every farmer who went in
debt prior to August, 1920, is now
having to pay nearly twice as
much in produce as he contracted
to pay at the time the debt was
made. This is the inevitable eff
feet of defation. Deflation is rob-
berry of the debtor to the direct
benefit of the creditor.

HOW MONEY SCARCITY
AFFECTS THE BORROWER

The purchasing power of money is directly gov
erned by the relative scarceness abundance of
money. Print and circulate a great quantity of
money and it's purchasing power decreases. De-
crease the quantity of money, on the other hand,
and the purchasing power of all the money remain
ing increases.
But there are some items which do not change.

tion was 1894, 100000. Since that time defation
of money has been steady and uniform In July,
1921 federal notes in circulation had fallen
to $268O,000,0O0. The statement of the reserve
banks for August shows further decrease to
1885, 100000. In other Words since October, 1920
the decrease in federal notes in circulation
amounts to $815 900 900, which is a contraction in
volume of about rs per cent.
Now, everybody who understands anything at all
about money and it's relation to the price Of
nodties, knows that contraction in the volume of
money has the direct effect of decreasing prices
1t also has the effect of increasing the purchasing
power of money.
