Exposed by McAdoo

One of the most eloquent ex-
positions OF the economic reason.
ing behind the proposed two
price system for agricultural
staple crops was made by the
late Senator McAdoo In an adj
dress in Texas In 1881.
The proposed plan would be-
effective only for basic agricul.
tural staples. including cotton,
wheat. corn. tobacco and rice.
Under the two price system.
the price for the domestically
consumed portion of such crops
would be related to the IS TO 81
a day industrial wage in the city,
so that in respect to income re-
lationships the economic groups
would be on a parity and there
fore in position to employ one
another by exchanging the prod
ucts OF their years labor.
AS for expeftabie- surplus,
that would be dumped in out

price II would bring.
If this plan is adopted. II will
r a vindicstion of the thinking
of Mr.. Peek, who quit the adj
ministration in 1885 because
Messrs. Hull and Wallace over
ruled his program of economic
nationalism."
Mr.. Peek's argument was that
Domestic considerations should
not be permitted 10 raise the
export price Of American sur
plus products so high that we
would lose our export markets.
Mr.. Peek also held that we could
retain an export trade through
making individual barter deals
with foreign nations IN the
spirit of Yankee trading. There
fore, Mr.. Peek opposed the prin-
ciple in the Hull trade pacts OF
generalizing tariff concessions
made to one country for a quid
pro quo. TO all other friendly
nations.

Teeth in Farm Policy

Press dispatches from the ma

the administration AT length is

with teeth in it. If current re-
ports are TO be credited. then
the administration will be deal

Perhaps the principal reason
why up to now the imitation
threatened by monetary condi-
tons has not come TO pass has
been that dehationary nom
monetary factors Offset the in
fiuence.
These non-monetary restric-
tive influences have included the
continuing maladjustment be-
tween agriculture and industry.
excessive taxation and political
business batting.
The need for cooperation from
industry In achieving a vast pro-
duction of armament Is inevi-
tably causing politicians TO put
moratorium on the fashion of
picking on business.
