The First WALLPAPER in America.

Wall papers did not begin to come
into this country until the second
quarter of the Eighteenth century.
Even then they were specially ordered
by the individual h~ouseholders from
their dealers in London and Paris,
rather than carried from the general
retail trade. Thomas Hancock, for in
stance, ordered in 1877, a specially
made paper from his stationer, Thomas
Rowe of London, and in his letter Civ
ing the order speaks of another paper
similarly imported by a friend Of his,
three or four years earlier. BY 1745,
however, wall paper was in retail
stock here, Charles Hargrave of Phil
adelphia advertising it in that year.
But certainly it was not in general use
until 1850. By that time it had be-
come enormously popular and a host
of merchants in all the larger towns
were advertising new importations
with the arrival of every s%hip.-Phyl.

bank credits, or rural credits, or what
ever alluring name may be offered,
will serve to do anything else than TO
push the farmer into the quagmire of
debt. 1t might also be added, that If
there is a persistent attempt to foist
such a system upon the people Of this
country there will be more than Is
new faces in this body during the-69th
Congress. The farmers are tired of be-
ing duped and fooled. They have a
very good idea Of what they want, and
they are determined to have it.
Mr.. President, what / have said to-
day is not designed as destructive crit
icism as it is aimed at those who
would honestly endeavor to restore
agriculture to a profitable basis. I
have, however, endeavored to raise a
warning voice against that type of
class legislation too often enacted for
the benefit. of the little group of mon
ey and credit manipulators and at the
expense of that larger group-the
American farmers.
Banking and financial legislation Sc
cured in the past by this same group
of men and by the administration of
the laws is now responsible for the
farmers present deplorable condition
whereby they, as a class, are in 5
short years reduced from reasonable
prosperity and modest comfort to
bankruptcy. These farmers must now
resort, as other business men do, eth
er to the Nelson cure or stagger un-
der the load that will in the end COM
pletely crush them and drag down 9TH
er business, including the bankers,
with them.
Similar meetings to the one under
discussion are now being held or
planned for in other parts of the
country, indicating that the bankers
are about, as has been stated, to take
the lead for better agriculture. Will
they do so? I am sorry to say the
signs as indicated by the part are not
good Unless the farmers r given
constructive legislation and the con-
troll of their own banking and market
ing affairs are left in theis own hands,
their will be worse than confusion and
if we adopt a system in place thereof
which continues to exact a heavy tax
from the producers for the benefit Of
the banker, the middleman and the re-
taller, I predict it will not be salts
factory either to the farmer nor will it
act as a panacea stimulating greater
production, which means heavy losses
to the producer and the farmer will
not be slow to discover the purport or
to act in ali effective manner as he
is now being forced to do, not only
for his own protection but likewise for
the benefit of the consumer and that
of all society and also of the state.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1922-12-07

In this country that Wall Street could
not be depended upon to protect the
best interests of the rank and file of
the country. Now, it appears that all
leaders, all moulders of legislative
thought, to be considered dependable
must hail from Wall Street. There was
a time when there would be many
sincere and protesting vioces raised
against such a condition, but now
there is silence where there should be
indignation ard wrath. Public officials
seem to be taking the viewpoint that
if there is a financial task to perform
it must be done by someone of Wall
Street ability and qualifications.
Will we ever learn? We have ac-
copied the bankers ideas in this coun-
try long enough. They have always
brought us to debts and hard times.
The bankers system has patiently
proved a failure. Will we continue tc
swear by it? When I say a failure, I
NEAR a failure from the standpoint of
the people. 1t has been an eminent sue
cess from the standpoint of the banker.
Debts have piled up by the billions,
and they continue to pile up, and they
all bear interest and the people pay
the interest, while the banks and bank
ers are increasing the reserves and
assets, the people are going o into
debt. Our present financial system will
never get us out, but will persistently
mount the total of indebtedness. There
is not a better illustration of that fact
than the increase of mortgage indebt-
edness upon the farms of the United
States since the operation of the Fed
eral Reserve Act, and not a clearer
illustration of the powers of that Act
than the results of Drastic Deflation
in the wiping out of equities in farms
throughout the entire country.
Shall We Predict the End?
Yet, with it all, we are content to
rest on our oars and let the interna-
tional bankers perfect their system.
Not only that, but it is quite evident
to me that there will be legislation Of
fered to this body for the alleged pur-
pose of giving the farmers a system
of rural credits, and that such legisla-
ton will depend entirely upon the Fed
eral Reserve Act for its success or
failure. MI. President, there could not
be a more effectual way of abandon
ing the interests of the farmer and
setting another trap for his %enslave-
ment.
Mr.. President, evidently there will
be some rural credit legislation offered
to this body within a short time; I
wish to place the farmers on guard at
this time that if they are to get any
legislation that will be of lasting bene-
fit to them it must be or a basis of
real money. No system of loaning of
