/The federal reserve system, established
by the Democratlo administration
In the face of the opposition of
all who found personal proAt In Juggling
with the Anances of the country,
has brought about the hn??erto
unknown condition that during a period
of years that covered feverlsu
preparation for war that taxed the
man-power and industrial resources
of the country to its limit, then the
war itself, and later and now the period
of reconstruction, there never
was tack of money to toe borrowed
at ordinary rates of Interest, for any
reasonable length of time, for any legitimate
purpose. And for the law
that brought about this condition me
nation stands indebted to the Democratic
party, that points to it with
Justifiable pride as one of the reasons
why the party merits and should
retain control of the nation's business.
High prioes for sugar have broken
the market in the United States by
bringing to this oountry sugar hoards
from every part of the world. But
the world as a whole has not recovered
from the war's blow to the sur
industry. In the Arst year of the
*tar, the world produced 18.000,000
tons. This year the production will
be 16,000,000 tone. The Cuban production
haa nearly doubled under the
Ilmulus of high prices, and the beet
igar production of the United
States, though only a small part of
the American consumption, has much
Increased. The decline has been In
European beet sugar. In 191S this
amounted to something more then
8,000,000 tons. Last year it had declined
to leas . than 8,000.000. This
year It will nearty reach .t.ooo.oou
tons?still only half of the pre-war
production. European countries are
economising sharply In their consumption
of sugar. That is why
there Is enough for the United States
According to a statement recently
isued by the bureau of Internal revenue,
more than 6.600,000 firms and
individuals are paying Income tax
t|ils year. Could any beter argument
be offered In behalf of the Democratic
party than this? And the figure*
show a dectdod Increase in the number
paying taxes on Incomes of |6.0uo
or less. What the figures emphasiz?
-. - - - - -
uic uiiiia any 1I11I1K elite IB me laci
that tho individual income of the
country for the year 1919 Increaned
considerably over that of of -*18.
This may account for the fact that
national bank depositors have now
Rrown to exceed 20,000,000 in number,
but tho bureau figures apparently
emphuslse another thing. Of the
total number of firms and individuals
paying income taxes, S.ooo.ooo
of them have already paid their
taxes in. full?whleh shows that tho
people have more ready money than
they have had at any time since the
close of the war, and is pretty good
evidence of national prosperity.
Now that the fall season is about
to open, The Times would call the
attention of the buying public to what
appears to be one's obligation to
trade with the home merchants.
Many people think they can buy
cheaper of the big mail order houses
ii tho large cities than they can at
home. Frequently the patrons of the
mail order houses learn that in this
they are mistaken. The home merchant
only asks that he he dealt with
on* the same basis as the mall order
house. The mail order houses deft
and payment In advance. This is
np exaction which the home merchant
does not demand of his customera.
PrMiiiAntl* nunnln whn ritlrnn.
lie mail order houses are put to no
little annoyance to get mistakes corrected.
Not so with the home merchants;
they are anxious to correct
mistakes and usually do so promptly.
Ihe home merchants help pay the
community's taxes and support home
institutions; they buy home prodi^cts
and employ home salesmen. The
mall order houses do not help run
our aehools and churches, neither do
they contribute anything toward the
construction of our roads or give employment
to any one In this seci.on.
