DEMOCRATIC DRASTIC DEFLATION
From April, 1917, until March, 11121, the demo
crat national administration dealt only in billion of
dollars. It towed immense, sum around with iuch
carclct.ncss a created an Idea that aumewher it
liad located a money bush. Then of a ludden the
f mam ii I mat. hints was thrown in reverse. A policy
of drastic deflation replaced that of inflation. So
rapidly did the change come that it is no wonder the
gears of industry were itrippcd.
Now, purely as a campaign argument, the demo
crats are Uixinir President Wilson' republican sue
tessor with this blunder, which waa committed be-
fore President Harding took office.
a a
''We denounce the unnecessarily drastic deflation
of currency and credits at the expense of agriculture,
labor and li'Ki'timato business a a perversion and
misuse of the power of the federal reserve system,"
shrieks the democratic plutform. Let us take a look
at the record Hnd see if we can find out who brought
about t h its "drastic deflation."
Observe some figures from the records. The fed
eral Reserve note circulation in 1919 was: January,
$2,630,662,112; July, $2,493,992,462; October, 2,
688,430,760. The tide was mounting again, despite
the warning that had been given against undue specu
lation. January 1, 1920, the Federal Reserve cir
culation had reached $2,989,664,862, and on Septem
ber 1, 1920, it had gone to $3,200,074,445, its high
water mark. While Mr. Wilson wa yet In office the
Federal Reserve circulation declined by nearly $300
000,000, dropping to $2,933,535,838 on April 1,
1921.
'
How did the farmer fare during these closing
day of the democratic administration? Here are
some prices quoted at Chicago (wool price at Bos
ton) for April in the year mentioned:
1919 . 1920
Tattle ....115.75 $13.90
IIoks 20.S0 15.10
Corn 161 1.68
Wheat 2.44 2.95
Wool ". 1.75 2.35
The foregoing figures tell the story of deflation,
nnd the date fix responsibility. At the time Presi
dent Harding took office hogs sold at $8.15. The
War Finance corporation was revived by the re
publican administration, and hogs were sold at an
advanced price of $11. Democratic deflation could
not be curbed in a day, but the republicans, interested
in the prosperity and success of the farmers, did the
only thing that would afford relief revived the War
Finance corporation to stabilize prices. And the
democrats in congress bitterly opposed reviving the
War Finance corporation.
"Drastic deflation," such as hit the farmer and
the laborer, begun while Woodrow Wilson still was
president, while David Houston still was secretary of
the treasury, and while the finances of the United
States were under democratic control. If the pur
pose of the Federal Reserve act was perverted and
misused, it was done by the democrats in authority.
If the farmer, stock raiser, and country merchant
first felt the effects of the policy adopted at Wash
ington of restricting credits, it is not the fault of the
present administration, which has done its utmost to
relieve the situation created by its predecessor.

WATERWAY AND THE PRIMARY.
One of the interesting little sidelights on the Mich
igan primary is the statement made by supporters of
Senator Townsend that he was actively and vigor
ously opposed by opponents of the Lakcs-to-Ocean
waterway. New York is reputed to have taken a hand
in the game, and to have flooded Michigan with prop
Uganda directed against the senator, whose advocacy
of the great enterprise renders him an object for at
tack from the backer of the great port at the mouth
of the Hudson. These can not view calmly any en
terprise that will interfere with their control or
dominance of American commerce.
Use of the Great Lake and St. Lawrence a
link in the way from the fields of the middle west to
the markets of the world is opposed by groups at
New York and Montreal, which are naturally averse
tii Jhe development of deep tea port at Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago and elhere along the lakes. Thi
Intruaion of the enterprise into the politic of Michi
gv may indicate how teriou the battle wilt be when
the waterway project take definite form in eongre.
Th fact that Senator Townsend wa renominated
e'o may he methini; of a i n showing that the
people who eipect to derive a htnetU fnm the r.

One by One the Clouds Roll By
A GUN-SHY CANDIDATE.
In retponte to Governor McKelvle'i challenge to
Charley Hryan to enter Into joint debate on the code
budget law and taxation, the democratic state chair
man ayt that it 1 not probable Ilryan will rare to
accept the challenge, but that Dryan might be in
dured to debate the question i permitted to name the
man he Is to meet.
Thi is, indeed, a peculiar position for one who
atsume to be to thoroughly convergent with the
matter in controversy. "If "Ilrother Charlie" know
even half a much about th code and taxation a he
would have the people believe, he thould welcome the
opportunity to compare and parallel hi view with
any man.
"Brother Charley" has had one harrowing expo-
Hence during the pretent campaign, and it may be
that his shattered nerve have not fully mended. A
few week ago in an unguarded moment he appeared
on the cam platform with Attorney General Clarence
A. Davis, and he wa so riddled with argument and
fact that he tremble and quakes at the mere thought
of anothee such encounter.
Discretion may be the better part of valor, but
failure to meet on the bloody field of debate will not
inaplre confidence in leadership. The citizens of
Nebraska will be called upon to sit in rTiudgment on
state issues a well a national one in November,
They are entitled to the fullest presentation of all
facta and circumstance to the end that their verdict
may be a wise one. Dealing in generalities and
adopting flamboyant slogans can be of no aid in
clarifying the situation.
If "Brother Charley" know hi aubject, a joint
debate with the governor would add an interesting
chapter to Nebraska political history. If he is not
conversant with his subject, a joint debate would at
least afford light entertainment and diversion for the
voters.
He cannot be compelled to accept a challenge for
joint debate. Nor can he be compelled to cease deal
ing in glittering generalites, which are hi stock In
trade. But failure to do so, and refusal to meet the
question fairly and squarely, must be regarded as
rather conclusive proof of a woeful lack of under
standing of the issues in the campaign.
If "Brother Charlie" does not care to debate the
issues of the campaign let him say sot But let him
not adopt the rather questionable and doubtful expe
diency of dodging one man by saying he may at
some future time select another with whom to
debate. .
UNCLE SAM TO END WAR.
The visit of Charles Evans Hughes, secretary of
state for the United States, to Brazil is marked by an
incident that should inspire and sustain great hopes
in the hearts of all the nations. A committee of
Brazilian senators and deputies called on Secretary
Hughes, prior to his departure for home, and among
other things their spokesman said:
"If the United States determines there shall be
. no more war, there will be no more war, as you
are the most powerful nation In the world."
To the secretary, who was characterized as "the
man behind the gun," and best able to conserve the
peace of the world, the speaker went on:
"You have become known throughout the
world as one of the advocates of peace in whose
hands, perhaps, Is the solution of that problem."
Here are two thoughts that are uppermost in the
world mind today. The United States can determine
for peace or war, because the nations of the world
trust the United States, knowing the disinterestedness
of its people and their devotion to the common cause
of humanity. The one nation among the victors that
sought no profit from the World war, the one that
actually has led the way toward permanent peace,
and that has at no point evaded its obligations, the
United States has the confidence of all nations be
cause it has exemplified the square deal with all. Its
position is the stronger because it is free to act, un
hampered by secret agreements of selfish under
standings with any.
The Brazilians are right. If war is driven from
the world, it will be because the United State is
leading the effort to establifch peace and the processes
of reason in place of war and unreason.
IF EUROPE PAID IN GOODS.
If European nations were to pay their debts to the
United States, it would afford considerable relief
here, for Comptroller of Currency Crissinger esti
mate that we have given them aid to the extent of
more than $22,000,000,000, of which nearly $15,000,
000.000 is due in public and private obligation. But
f Europe it to be permitted to pay in goods, a the
democrats insist thould be done, it means that factory
output to that extent will be cut off in the United
State, for every article imported thuts out of use
ne produced at home.
With American workmen unemployed or working
nly part time, what chance will the farmer have
to tell hit grain and meat animalt at home?

J. II. Sweet: The settlement of the
rail and coal strikes should give im
petus to business. "Should" Is said
advisedly, for there are some dls-
urblng and distressing elements In
the situation. Where crop failures
have hit the middle west thanks to
the smile of nature they have not
hit our community to any apprecl-
ble extent no amount of playing in
the harmony orchestra can remove
the pessimism. Only Clod's rain and
linshine can bring prosperity to the
Nebraska farmer. Give us plenty of
that and keep out the hog cholera

Organized capital and organized

It's Cider Time.
From lh WUmlntton News-Journal.
Cider Is coming back. The old
fashioned beverage, In which there
was neither headache nor kick,
promises to come Into its own again.
There will be a record-breaking crop
of apples, according to agricultural
estimates. This means, no doubt,
that they will be cheap, so cheap In
many communities In fact that they
cannot be transported any great dis
tance and sold at a profit. In thit
event there Is only one thing to do
after cellars have been given usual
amounts, and the normal amount of
apple butter has been made, and that
is to convert them into cider.
The-older people of Wilmington
will recall the time when, for the
winter's uses, the cider barrel had
Its plnce in the cellars of many
homes. In more recent years the
practice died. Soda fountains con
cocted other drinks, neither more
palatable nor more delicious, but less
troublesome to make and less expen
sive as the price of apples went up.
Cider went Into the background as
a beverage even among the farmers
who sold their apples at greater
profit.
The return of the luscious juice of
the crushed apples Is to be welcom
ed. Properly made and with no
artificial helps to increase natural
fermentation, it is a healthful. In
vigorating and satisfying beverage.
Nature was the first respecter of
alcoholic limitation she always
stops short of producing an Intoxi
cating beverage by turning the liquor
into vinegar. If man will respect
these limitations the product of the
apple will again regain its place In
his cellars and his affection.

Hhenamloah, I. To the Kdltor
of Th Omaha Hee: Th recent let
ttrt of Frank Hltnondt Oeorge Hob
ert of Ihe National City bank of
New York and a hot of other writ
ers who are monopolising the valu
able space of all the principal city
paper are enough to make Ihe av
erage cltixen of this country very
weary Indeed.
The Idea that It is preposterous
for any of the nation of Ihe world
to pay their honest debts I prepos
terous. Any nation of the world
which desire to pay can do so. The
rate of Interest Is ao low that there
It no necetslty for complaint. The
money pent for liquor and tobacco
In any of the countries Is ufflclent
to nay off their Indebtedness1 In a
v-nrv ahort I lm. All that Is necel-
tary Is a demand by England and
the I'nlted Btatee that to long a
liquors and tobacco are used the
interest and part of the principal
should be paid each year, or month.
If necessary, and In case of a default
they be derlared bankrupt and
credit he withheld from them, or an
administrator be appointed to over
tee their nnanees. No country
owing unpaid and overdue war debts
thould be allowed to spend any
money preparing for war. All war
debts then could soon be paid and
bonds soon go to par.
