PROSPERITY AND THE FUTUR By Hon. William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the TreasuryTlie rural-credits bill, which w soon be passed and approved by t president, will emancipate the farm from many of the most serious ills 1 has so long endured and provide t long-time credits, at low rates of i terest, so essential to the remunerati and productive development of *1 farming industry. Money and credit are abundant; t ghost of panic had been securely la In the midst of a war-torn and wi worn world, with adversity cruinbli the economic foundation of aline every other great power, the huauci commercial, and industrial co dition in the United States are pi uoiueually sound and erceiptioual strong This is due not to trausto war orders, or ephemeral trade, but the amazing ecomic strength of t United States. , The federal reserve act, which is nc generally conceded to be the most co structive measure placed upon o statue books in a half century, is tl greatest contributing factor in th happy condition. The federal reser system has been in operation less tin two years, during which time the n tion has passed through the greate crisis and strain the world has ev seen. We have successfully withsto< the shock of the European cataclysi and have rebounded into the most ui exampled prosperity any nation hi ever known. The federal reserve ey tern has provided the elastic and r sponsive credit resources required f< the expansion and growth of busine and for the development of our cou: try. . The strait-jacket in which the bus uess and industry of the United Stat have been cramped and limited by tl old iinancial laws of the Republict party lias been shattered and the cou try may now grow without restricts of the full limit of healthful and legil mate expansion. Not only has tl reserve system provided ample ered resources and strengthened the fina eial structure of the country immea urably. but it has caused a more eqr table diffusion of credits; has reduci rates of interest and has mitigated t ready, and in great measure the abus of usury in those parts of the count where a serious handicap to busine and enterprise. What this means business men and all classes of 01 people is too obivous to describe. It is a significant fact, and it is i REPORT OF TOWNSHIP SUPE SHIP, QUARTER E / ; ' Amount ^uught^fonvard^^^^B $-y -3:.i V DISBL W. A. Short, lumber, 182 ft, and P. V.

It was the leader ship and action of the government a in" Washington that saved the country ii ve this great crisis. This is said in n< ie spirit of depreciation of the importan reoperation the leading bankers am business men of the country gave t< id.

[ Since the storm I have been securing first hand information as to crop l damage over a wide area and from reliuhlo irontloman nvnf ?> U'lrlep nrofl T have studied the rainfall reports of the Government and the statistical' ^ position of cotton, together with trade conditions generally. Last week I published an article urging business men and brokers to join with the farj mers for much higher prices. I now j come out flat for 25 cents for cotton. The crop damage east of the Mississippi River, the consumption and ' supply of cotton and the prices of other world commodities all point to j 25 cents as a fair price for cotton. Will the newspapers and the leaders ^ of thought among the business men and farmers of the country grasp the ' opportunity, which the Orangeburg [ Sun says is the greatest since the civil war, to sell this crop at a price that will, in a measure, make up for } the losses of this most disastrous year t in my experience or memory? Will they 3 do it? I believe they will once their ' minds have comprehended all that it 3 will mean to us as a people. i It is right that many shall have the 1 immediate aid of official and private charity, but that is not a "drop in ' the bucket" to the relief that is needed 1 and which should come in the busir ness-like way of marketing our crops e in accordance with world demands and 1 the best faclitles possible. In my first S article I quoted Mr. D. R. Coker's suggestions about warehousing cotton and using the receipts in the federal reserve banks on every indication of a weak market. I want to urge that thi$u4lie done, not spasmodically, but 1 mly?that it be adopted as thflf i tb? fwrmera-. **u ii HiU^i i r | that business men, landlords %nd cred1 jitors consistently advise it and help [the most Ignorant fanner to do so, for it is only by protecting the weak and thp ignorant that the strong can fully I realize their strength. In the State warehouses and federal reserve banking system the Government has done nearly all that it >can do for the farmer (I cannot think ji pf anything more except uniforming ,grading) and It is up to the farmer to use these agencies of the Government. I would like to see the Farmers' Union lead in this campaign, as it has done many times in the past, to the benefit, not alone of the fanners, but of every business in the State.

If it doesn't start your live: and straighten you right up better than calomel and without griping or making you sick I want you to go back to the ptore and get your money.
