ACTS
Oraal Tariff Mil, Effldeat C'urreacy
A ad Aati-Treat Lava
St. Joaapti, Mo., Oct. 1. -Speaker
Champ Clark, of the National House
of Representatives in a speech at
tha Democratic Scats banquet here
tonight reviewed the tegis'aM»« re
cord sf tha Democratic party and
expressed confidence In the verdict
of the voters in the election of 1916.
Speaker Clark said in pari:
"To millions of voters, the present
political situation Is entirely nova)
At every providential election since1
lfUMI the Republicans have held the i
Federal Government and tha Demo
crats ware fighting to wrest It from
their iron grasp. Now all this Is
changed- and as we believe, chang
ed for the better.
"For year* those who love us not
steer ted that Democrats were a par
ty of negation, that wa did not have
aenee enough to legislate. Unfor
leu .icly for the country a majority
of tha people believed their Jibber
ieh for a long, long time. Wa wan
dered in the wildernees as lung as
did Moeea but at last tbs scales fall
from ths people's eyes and they con
cluded to entrust ua with power once
more.
"What happened? In twr> brief
yawra we placed on the statute
boohs more constructive legislatio
of the most highly beneficial char*
acter than the Republican* enacted
in two decades - legislation so good
Ibal in addition to Ucn^ucratic rates
naarly all tbs Progressives and a
large per cent of the regular Repub
licans voted for our great construc
tive measures.
-We passed s great tariff bill—
the greatest svsr placed upon the
statute books. It contains many *x
celleat changes from lbs Payne Aid
rvch-flmoot monstrosity and it cotv
taina one new feature that would
make It the best of all tariff bill*
even if the rest of it were as bad
as tbs last Republican tariff bill
which most emphatically It i* not.
That now feature Is the income tax.
I make bold to predict that Lb* in
come tax provision never wall be ro
* peeked «o matter , what piftrr«M
bold, <4 the law-making newer. i
"It 1* said tbe Underwwx^TxJflrT
bill does not bring in as much reve
nue as tbs Payne-Aldrieh-Siaool
bill*. We who mad* the Underwood
bill knew when w* msde It that tbe
revenues from tariff taxes would
not be xs large under oar bill ax un
der our bill as wider the old Repub
lican bill! We drew it so on pur
pose ; that was on* of the sods
sought. Also knowing that tbe Gov
ernment would need shoot xs much
money *■ usual, we made up by the
income tax feature tho loss in tariff
taxae.
"Republican orators assart that
the Underwood tariff bill, even In
cluding the Income tax feature did
not bring in revenue enough to con
duct the Government—which is ab :
aohrtely ulitruo. Everybody knows'
that tbe deficiency was caused and j
still t* being caused by the Kuropean
"We had for more than half a
century a financial system of shreds
and patches with a currency almost
devoid of elasticity.
"For a generation our Republican
friends had bocn tinkering with it—
always promising but novor achiav
ng currency reform. The Demo
crate with the assistance of patriot*
Ic Progiesstvca and a patriotic con
tingent of Republicans placed on tha
statute books the National Reserve
Bank act which ia now being praised
by all business.
"We pasted, an anti-trust law
which tends to promote legitimate
business and crash illigitimate busi
ness. Under tho new law trusts are
being dissolved and aro rs-arrmng
ing their business on a legitimate
basis.
"Tha people seem to have abso
lute confidence in the pilot of tha
Ship of State—Woodrow Wilson
and are not likely to drop him over
board la mid-ocean white tha storm
whips Iks waters into fory. Ha did
hll duty, tha Democratic House did
Ha duty, tha Democratic Senate did
its duty, Wa submit that see de
serve well of the Republic—all of ua.
Having discharged our duty and
bean faithful to our trust—tha peo
ple win assume that wa will do our
duty and be faithful oven to the

COTTON CHOI* 1MM.0M BALES
Smallrai 83.ce Year 1699 la Opinion
of Crop Keportlag Board. La usual
Oqriia. Dario* September. Pro
duct ion Of Nearly Million Hales.
Wi ahington, Oct. A—A heavy de
eliae In lb. condition of lb« grow
ing cotton crop during September,
aim oat doidblci i-be average docline
of the laat ten fears, haa decreased
earlier In the seaaon by almuet a
million balaa. The Dapwrtment of
Agriculture today estimated the
crop at 10,650,000, equivalent 500
poi'nd balea, which would be the
smallest crop since 1600.
In announcing the condition re
port and production estimate, the
crop reporting board made this
statement:
“The cotton crop condition declin
ed 8.4 points during the month of
August 25 to September 26, com
pared with an average decline in
the same period in the past tan
years of 4.5 points. The estimated
condition of 60.B per cant of normal
on September 26, forecasts a yield
per acre of about 188 pounds and a
total production (allowing a redoc
tlon of 1 per cant from planted area
for abandonment) of about 10,660,
000 balaa. Laat year's production
was 16.126,000 balea, aad tha 1913
crap 14,166,900. A crop laas than
11,000,000 balaa would be smaller
than any crop since 1909.
Four More Facta for Csttaa Farm
ers.
The question now Menu to be no
longer Whether we shall have twelve
cent rotten, cotton futures for next
spring having passed twelve cool*
early last wash, but tha question
now is whether fifteen cent cot too IS
not In sight. Meanwhile let us re
iterate just e tew points:
1. Look out for scab farmers.
Farmers who do not know the facta
sa to the cotton situation are liable
to dunk ten cents a good fair price
and so prevent twelve or fifteen
cent prices by ever-leading a tan
cant market- Th# New York Timas
says the eoly cotton bears now are
the Southern farmers them selves I
Upd-tS'lg aftgkt. .Deg’t prevent twelve
flMfc bit framing at ha :
IT dstf' IP1 Mi *tu i<a> ma i
crop get the prollu. Look out for
the merchant who triaa to compel
customers to sell to him early. Make
the merchant safe when his account
is fairly due, by borrowing on the
cotton and paying hiss or by turn
. niton over to bias aa secur
ity, but demand that the grower
have the privilege ef saying when
it shall be sold.
3. Beware of the banks that re
fuse to advance money on cotton. If
your local banka will not make reas
onable loans, at least 136 a hale, re
port the exact facts to your Con
gressman aa bsHis for demanding
thoron^i-going rural ^reditg legis
lation.
4. Don't eall your cotton seed
yet. Conditions almost surely war
rant the highest prices ever pakl for
seed in the history of the South
Let’s manage this crop wisely and
recover all last year’s losses.—Pro
