The old world had seven wonders;
in the UnifH State .the Political
World has ten wonders. The record
made by the present administration
in the natter of domefte r orm is
without a parallel in the .history of
our government. A ' , Democratic
President, supported by a Demo
cratic Senate and a Democratic
House, has given the country ten
splendid remedial measure. , i
rirst.-ine U: '. ; uw now.,jjpon
the statute books u the best enacted
within half a century. It is written
upon the theory that, a .tariff law
should be so framed as to raise rev
enueandnot upon the theory of
giving protection's enke. It has less
ened the power of the tariT .baron
to exact tribute from tht public, '
iecond.-tlho Income tax. provis
ion, while a pare of the general rev
enue law, deserves to be considered
upon its own meriU. It was . made'
possible by the adoption of the in
come tax amendment to the Federal
Constitution, secured after fight
of more than fifteen years, made
under Democratic leadership.-The
income tax in the law of 1?!3 trans
ferred . '. one i. . . ' i, ... : ;.s
Lad put upon them, an injustice
which would still continue if the Re
puLlicr.rs h-J ru..J..uJ i.i j. jAir.
Third. The Currency Law is the
greatest piece of constructive legis
lation the feneration has seen. It

tyranny exercised by the matters of
high finance.
Four;h. The TvUrsJ Credits , Law
is a fitting comr"' "'on cf the Cur
rency Law. It fcives the agricultural
world the same sort of ' relief . that
the currency' law brings to the com
mercial world. It ivt'i .conclusive
proof of the bn w and 'coiapre-
hensiveness of ' Desnocratic plans
justice to all i.i every walk of life.'
Fifth.-The -' i Trr . t Law, writ

monopoly 'i3 L;Jcf- ;'l!a f 1 i

mission, puts the Federal Govern-
ment,ln a position, first to secure
information, and second, to use that
information for the protection of
li ultimate business against the en
croachments of private monopoly
Seventh. The Shipping Dill is an
other step in advance, and a lor.g
step. Its purpose is to protect Inter
national trade along existing trade
routes and to lay out new lines of
travel for the extension of American
commerce. It took a two-year's
nht to overcome the influence of
the shipping trust, but the fight has
at last been won. and the govern
mem is now in a position to . use a
merchant marine of Us own to safe
guard the Interests of thct American
shipper. ; . -
., Eighth.-.The Child Labor Law
has come io response to the growing
demand for social betterment. The
fact that such a law is necessary la a
sad commentary upon the heariless
ness of man that he should become
so money-mad as to be wilting' to
increase bis profits by' the 'stunting
the bodies and' the dwarfing of the
niinds'of minors. The Democratic
party deserves credit ' for adding
this law to its extraordinary tecora
of great accomplishment.
Ninth. The Philippine Bill, while
dealing with an international mat
ter, is domestic ih that ic only an
nounces a national policy, but alm
promises to safeguard domestic pon
tics from the disturbing influences
of colonial questions. , Eighteen

lution, which declared against
colonial policy and gave the Filipinos
a promise of ultimate independence.
Every platform written by the Dem
ocratic party of the nation since that
time has repeated this pledge and
now, to the honor of the nation and
to the credit of the Democratic par
ty,-the platform pledge has been
f.'.hhed and the promise of ultimate
independence given. Our nation has
thus shown itself able to resist the
temptation before which the monar
chies have fallen, namely, the temp
tation to exercise power in violation
of the principles of self-government.
Tenth. The list of this admini
stration's ' accomplishments cannot
fairly be concluded without refer
ence to the thirty Peace Treaties
negotiated during the first Iwo years
cf the administration with nations
exercising authority over 1,300,000,
CC0 of people, or three-fourths of
the world. In addition to the thirty

Rural Crediis.
The farmers and, in fact, the peo
ple generally in North Carolina and
throughout the United States, are
still very much interested in the
matter of rural credits. ' There ex
ista a real desire lor aid by our far
mers along the line of rural credits,
as they reel the need and even ne
cessity for the same. ; : j"
A study of the principles and
work of building and loan associa'
tions will convince any one" of their
value, and their record in North
Carolina and other States shows to
what extent they have built; up our
cities and towns and helped, the
laboring man and others in securing
homes. I have become so well sati3'
tied that on phase of this need can
be, well met by the adaptation of the
principles of building and loan asso
ciations to the use of' the. farmers,
that I have for several years urged
this upon our farmers and asked
those who were working building
andloan associations in our cities and
towns to aid the farme3 along this
ine with their knowledge and ex
perience.- :'
Our farmersshould study the un
derlying principles and workings of
building and loan associations. These
associations have been of a great ad
vantage to our working classes in
cities and towns,- aiding them to
build homes and learn the value of
systematlfc saving, and I see no rea
son why association of this charac
ter cannot be made equally as useful
to our farmers. ', .. .
In my opinion the suggestions
made by me can be put into , opera
tion, to tne great advantage oi our
farmers, without in any way inter
fering with any other plan or scheme
for helping them along the line of
improvements in the matter of ru
ral credits The plan is one that of.
fers an opportunity for the farmers
to be greatly benefited in the way of
getting loans as well as saving funds
by the exercise of thrift ana1 eco
nomy. The plan may be summarized
in two statements as follows:
, 1; The adaptation of the principle
of building and loan associations as
organized and worked in our cities
and towns for the benefit of "our
laboring classes, to the use and need
of the farmers.
2. The application by the Govern
ment to ' these associations of the
principle of the reserve banks, by
the establishment of the reserve ru
ral association under the supervision
and care Of the Treasury Depart
ment or other . proper Government
