The Third Historical Fact
In his Topeka speech to the farmers
democratic candidate RooRevelt said:
“There are two undeniable historic
facts in the last two years. First—
the present administration and the two
previous administrations^ in all of
which the President was an important
member, failed utterly to understand
the farm problem as a national whole
or to plan relief.”
If we are to consider these two items
as important “historic facts,” there
must be a third historic fact hooking
them together. If effect is demon
strated, as candidate Roosevelt sug
gests, then there must have been a
cause. If the farm problem was ser
ious, then someone or some group
brought about that crisis.
Suppose we turn back twelve years.
The farmers, during the War and the
year following the War, were prosper
ous. They were getting cost of pro
duction plus a reasonable profit for
their products. The fall of 1919 and
the spring of 1920 presented an al
most ideal picture of prosperity, con
tentment and happiness for the
American farmers. They not only had
good crops but were selling them at
top prices, and in turn were buying
from the manufacturing centers their
purchasing ration of ninety-five per
cent of the industrial output and the
exchange between producer and con
sumer was close to a perfect econ
omic cycle.
Then what happened ? The demo
crats, who were then running the
National Administration, ordered a
severe restriction of credits. The Fed
eral Reserve Board (Democratic ap
pointees) carried out these orders—
and agriculture was chosen as the first
victim of this destructive policy. Re
discount rates were doubled and trip
led in the agricultural Federal Re
serve districts, and the orders were
“Make the farmers sell and settle.”
The result of this action by the
democrats is too well known to go in
to details, outside of citing the dread
ful break in prices of farm commod
ities and its consequent fatalities.
For instance, on July 1, 1920, corn
was selling at $1.63 per bushel. By
October is had dropped to 78 cents and
five months later to''66 cents—a de
crease of 98 certtk per bushel in nine
months. W’heat was $2.80 per bushel
in July 1920. By Avjgust it had drop
ped to $2.47 and six months later to
*1 .38—a decrease of $1.42 a bushel.
The July, 1920, price for hogs was
$16.88 per hundred weight. Six months
later the price had dropped to $9.66
and within ten months to $8.26. Good
to choice steers fell from $16.38 per
hundred weight in July, 1920, to $9.67
in less than six months. All other
farm commodity prices suffered in like
proportion.
ALONG THE WAYSIDE
(Continued from page 1.)
within thirty-six hours. If we decide
to ship by rail we must ask for a tank
car, which we may get in several days,
if some larger concern doesn’t grab it
first, another day is required to load
and switch the car and th^n it may lay
another day or so in the yards waiting
for tonnage before 'Starting on its
way. From a week to ten days are
required for delivery, if there are no
delays, and competition does not wait
that long these days.”
The livestock shippers trucking from
one to two hundred miles, complained
the same concerning cars, with the
additional objection that this and
traffic delays frequently caused them
to miss a good market. L. C. P.
