we have the greatest merchant marine

A Creditor Nation.
Finally, we are today citizens Of the
richest country in the world. Where
formerly we were country owing
the other nations of the world. we are
today a creditor country, with the
rest Of the world owing US. For this
and other reasons, this country. funda-
mentally. is all right. Even at the
present time fundamental conditions
are slowly but constantly getting bet
ter. ~. ~
r.. Temporary Conditions.
And yet, what about temporary con-
ditions? While the country hap beer
continually growing richer, we have
been having these ups and downs IN
business: The depression in 1908 and
1904: the panic of 1907: the prosperity
of 1910-12: the depression following
in 1s1371e;. the better times in lsia. oac
when business was at the highest
point, considering all sections and all
lines.
Now catch the point that I am try
ing to make, namely, fundamentally.
conditions are absolutely sound. and
yet even over any long period OF
years. we have first a period Of pros
perity, then depression. then prosper
ity, then depressions and so on. stock
prices. commodity prices. wages and
everything go up and down. Within a
few years cotton ranged in price from
4S cents to 10 cents pound: wool. the
average grades, ranged from 81 per
pound to 80 cents per pound; silk, from
SIS per pound to S. per pound: cop.
from 50 per bushel to 81. while corn
within few months fell from 81 to
60 cents.
Recently I went to Gloucester to
visit my father. When I left there
my father drove me to the railroad
station. AS we passed certain little
store. he mentioned the fact that
there used to be sign on this store
saying: "One pound Of pork and q
quart Of beans-1o cents" I said:
Lets see what we ,can buy that for
now" so we stopped the nag and
went in. The proprietor said: well.
the price OF that pound of pork and
that quart of beans slowly went up
during the past twenty years from 10
cents to SIS cents. reaching the high
est point in the spring of 1920. Since
then there has been a steady decline
and the price is now back to about
30 cents"
