FARM INCOME FROM
SALES DECLINE 81
PCT. In NOVEMBER

WASHINGTON (FP) Cash
income of farmers from sales OF
their products declined more than
seasonably in November, the u. S.
department of agriculture reports.
Excluding sales of cattle and
sheep to the government, total in
come from this source dropped
from s63O,OO0,0OO in October to
S488, 100000 in November, reduc-
ing sales income below the level
of November, 1888, when it was
S512,000,000. Income from crops
usually declines about 81 per cent
from October to November, but this
fall the decline was about 81 per
cent. The department claims that
this was 'due in large part to the
earlier marketings of many crops"
Most of the farmers know better.

EQlSOn. l nave Ole IICS0D1SS'
On May 20, 1888, much to the
surprise of Republican leaders in
Congress. Louis T. McFadden, OF
Pennsylvania, launched vitriollc
attack upon Jews from the floor OF
tho HOUSE. It was the first time
in American history that the Jew
ish race was attacked in halls ded-
icated to preserving racial and re-
Igious freedom.
The country was astounded. No
orr knew what was behind the a.
mazing action Of this man who
had been a Congressman for al
most twenty years. Efforts were
made to expunge his speech from
the record but he opposed this
move. It was pointed out to him
that his remarks were based upon
the "Protocols of Zion" published
in the Dearborn Independent
WHICH had been exposed as fOrger-
les and that Henry Ford, publish
er of the Dearborn Independent
had publicly apologized for then
appearance. McFadden, despite
all this, persisted in disseminating
his attack far and wide. He be
came the Congressional voice o.
"hate- the-Jew' propaganda. HI
it seemed, was making public ad
dresses from the floor of tn
House exactly along the line if tn
anti-Semitic propagandists' whicl
were organized nationally by Co
Edwin Emerson, the notorious A
n7erican Hitlcr agent. To the pub

spreading race-hatred in tn /
