Federal Government; they mean the

on our form of government Of such
program, We come at once to the ef-
tect of the most gigantic increase in
expenditure ever known in history. That
alones would break down the savings,
the wages, the equality Of opportunity
among our people. These measures
would transfer vast responsibilities to
the Federal Government from the
States, the local governments, and the
would break down our form OF gov
ernment. Our legislative bodies cennot
delegate their authority to any dicta-
tor. but without such delegation every
member of these bodies Is impelled in
representation of the interest of his
constituents constantly to seek privi-
lege and demand service in the use of
such agencies. Every time the Federal
Government extends its arm, sci Sena-
tors and Representatives become actual
boards of directors of that business.

lean system is that Of initiation OF the
currency The bill which passed the
last session of the Democratic House
called upon the Treasury of the
United States to issue $4,000. 900 900 in
paper currency that would be uncon-
vertible into solid values. Call It what
you will. greenbacks or fiat money It
was that nightmare which hung over
our own country for years after the
Civil War.
In our special situation today the
issuance Of greenbacks means the i'm
mediate departure Of this country from
the gold standard, as there could be
no provision for the redemption of
such currency in gold. The new cur
rency must obviously go to immediate
and constantly f1uctueting discount
when associated with currency con-
vertible in gold.
The oldest law Of currency is that
bad money drives out the good, for
population-every individual-will
hoard good currency and endeavor to
ged rid Of the bad The invariable
effect Is the withdrawal of a vast sum
of good currency from circulation, and
at once the Government Is forced to
print more and more bad paper cur
rency. No candidate and no speaker
in this campaign has disavowed this
action Of the Democratic House. In
spite of this visible experience within
recollection of this generation. with all
its pitiable results. fiat money is pro-
posed by the Democratic party as a
potent measure for relief from this de-
preston.
The use of this expedient by nations
in difficulty since the war in Europe
has been one OF the most tragic dis
asters to equality of opportunity, the
independence of man
I quote from a revealing speech by
Mr. Owen D. Young upon the return

Europe improves Wheat

EUROPE offers little hope Of relief for the
l. hard-pressed wheat farmer Of the United
States. for the coming year. In fact the pres
ent crop prospects in the various wheat-raising
countries across the Atlantic only serve to bear
out what the Department of Agriculture has
been stressing for some years. that is that the
United States can hardly hope in normal con-
ditions to be an important factor in exports
Of wheat.
Most of the European countries are produce
ing q better quality Of wheat this year with
less moisture and a much harder texture. adding
greatly to their milling qualities. Germany,
for instance finds her wheat in such fine con-
dition that little will have to be purchased
abroad. What is bought will probably come
from Canada as Germany finds Canadian
Spring wheat preferable to American Winter
wheat The only factor which could turn the
trade toward the United States would be an
urderselling of the Canadian product.
The crop in France is 50 great that there
will be very little wheat needed beyond the
French harvest. Britain naturally will turn
toward Canada for her supply and Italy, al-
though not raising sufficient wheat for her own
use. has in the past turned to Russia for .
supply Of durum wheat. Because Of the low
harvest in Russia the United States may pro-
vide Italys needs Of this particular type Of
