to market and sells it for, say, dol
lar bushel, he is dependent upon tho
honesty of two measures-the dollar
and the bushel
The other day a crossroads store
keeper got sent to jail for manipu-
lating a trick bushel basket with a
false bottom that would slide up and
down in a way that was grand. gloomy
and mysterious. When using 1t to
measure stun he bought from farm
er, he'd secretly shove the bottom
down until 1t held at least bushel
and quarter, but he would only
credit him with bushel. The buying
power OF the farmers product was
thereby deprecated by about twenty
per cent.
Finally the farmers whereabouts got
wise to the fact that the only way
they could get what was coming to
them was to enforce reliable stand
ard of measurement. So they put
good stiff jail penalty on using
fake measure, laid for that store
keeper with the trick basket and sent
him to prison.
Politicians in Europe have been
manipulating the other measure-the
money measure-in much the same
way. Some of them in America want
to tamper likewise with the dollar.
Here is about the way 1t would work
out Suppose, when the farmer
brought his product to market, the
basket measure was honest enough
and he got a dollar bill for each
bushel He'd take his dollars home
and save them. Perhaps he planned
to buy some land next his own for
thousand dollars, and figured that In
a year or so he could make 1t.
But meanwhile the politicians start
to manipulate the base OF the cur
rency. They would change 1t from the
gold standard to Il a money plan
from gold guarantee to the mere
of paper was worth a dollar. The
farmer wouldn't be watching the
money politicians. He would be too
busy raising things. At the end Of
the year he has his thousand dollars.
He takes them TO the landowner and
says, "Ill buy your land now-here's
a thousand dollars"
But the landowner would say, That
| is paper money-my land is worth
| one thousand dollars gold-the gov
eminent has printed so much paper
money folks haven't much confidence
| in il. But / am willing to take a
chance II you will give me a dollar
and a quarter in paper money for
each gold dollars value of my land
in other words. I'll give you my land
for $3.50 dollars paper"
Soft money would be only another
way for the money-politician to hand
the farmer the same dirty deal as the
| basket manipulation. In the first case
the farmer unknowingly gave bushel
and a quarter of his product, and in
the second case he would have to give
a dollar and a quarter OF his money,
for a dollars value in return.
In Germany they have carried tho
manipulation Of the mark so far
well, 1t seems hardly believable, but
IL they did the same thing to the dol
lar. It would take over ten million in
paper money to buy that land. The
primary producer can raise his prices.
but not fast enough to equalize this
drop In the gold value OF unsound
money. That d where the catch

MEMPHIS, Tenn, November 81
Distinct earth tremors were felt late
yesterday within a radius of 100
miles of this city, and caused con-
siderable excitement in some local
tiles. No damage was reported.
The shocks occurred at 5:z5 o'clock,
and apparently were most severe in
the vicinity of Union City. Tenn, and
in eastern Arkansas, particularly in
the vicinity of Marked Tree and
Earle. Two tremors were noted con-
tinuing probably five seconds.
Residents of Union City reported
they heard two distinct explosions,
